From Max Headroom to a Rap God and Reunion

Matt_Frewer played the digital character, Max_Headroom very well.

"The Max Headroom Broadcast Signal Interruption Incident that occurred in Chicago of 1987 is probably the most infamous of any such hack. Despite the FCC's efforts, the people behind the Max Headroom Incident have remained at large for over 30 years."

Of course Eminem wasn't just playing a Rap_God...  

"This tutorial will help you rap Eminem's fastest verse in "Rap God". Starting from a slow pace of 59bpm, it repeats the verse again and again in 10% increments up to the full speed tempo of 148bpm. This is the best way to practice rapping this verse."



Back in 1974, this was one of the fastest songs around.
It has got to be one of the earliest rap songs in history.
