The star was visiting Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday's The Tonight Show to discuss his new film, Horns, when Fallon brought up Radcliffe's love of hip-hop.
"I think I was the first kid in my class to learn all the words to [Eminem's] 'Real Slim Shady,' " Radcliffe told Fallon.
Radcliffe went on to say that memorizing lyrics became something of an obsession for him, which soon led Fallon to challenge him to perform Blackalicious's "Alphabet Aerobics," a song that, as one would guess from the title, features an intricate rhyme scheme in alphabetic order, at a gradually increasing speed.
Spoiler alert: Radcliffe nails it. (With one hand in his pocket for a portion of the performance, like he's casually chatting with a friend.)
It's easily the most impressive and unexpected performance we've seen on The Tonight Show since Emma Stone annihilated Fallon with a lip-synched performance of "All I Do Is Win."
Watch the full clip below and, for your own sake, do not ever challenge Daniel Radcliffe to a rap battle.
