How did Dre really find out Eminem?

[S.T.A.N.]

In some interviews, Em says he did a freeestyle on a radio station and Dre heard him and started looking for him.

ANd in other inteviews, he says he gave his Slim Shady EP tape to some kid and J. Iovine got the tape and played it for Dre and then Dre got interested.

So what is real story?
