In just a few weeks, Eminem's highly-anticipated new album MMLP2 will hit the airwaves... and apparently Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe is just one fan who can't wait to hear more after Slim Shady's epic "Rap God" release:

"Eminem is outrageous. I listened to 'Rap God' on my phone with the volume on one but it was in my ear so it was still loud, and my wife was asleep next to me and I was just trying to listen to the song with it in my ear... I couldn't go to sleep for like an hour because every time he just kept delivering a line, by the end of it I was so astonished that my blood was rushing. I had 15 minutes where I was like, I don't know what to do now, I was so hyped up from hearing. For him to be able to do that that far into his career and still be that remarkable and that hungry to rhyme," Lowe told EntertainmentWise at a recent Relentless Live gig.

The popular radio DJ continued:

"...All the awards, the millions of albums sales, everything that's gone through, for better or for worse, the highs and the lows, the one thing that I have personally identified with Eminem more than anything else, because I don't know him, is that he is a rap fiend. He is a rap monster... You can't get in his way, he's an absolute machine. One thing that I've completely and utterly adored about Eminem is that he loves to rap. He loves getting on the mic and just tearing it down and 'Rap God' is that. Six and a half minutes non-stop. Incredible."

According to Lowe, Slim Shady deserves a spot at the presitigous hip-hop "round table" alongside Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Drake among several others:

"But there's a table and it's a good table. Drake's at the table, Kanye's at the table, Jay's at the table, Em's at the table, Ross is at the table, Em's at the table. Kendrick's reserved his place at the table and Outkast their names will always be at the table but right now Big Boi's the only name in the seat... It's a good table and we've been blessed with good rappers and Eminem to this day is one of the greats."
