Where did "Slim Shady" come from?

[Atone]

Sir, he litterally pulled it out of his ass one day.....while taking a shit

[buffalo bill]

I would have loved to be there and smell his turds that day.

[BigBangBazinga]

He was trying to think of an alias because the concept of D-12 (it was decided that 12 members would be too many) was that all 6 members would have one, you know, hence the name 'D-12'.

lol no

Lol yes, it was the concept for the group. 6 members each with an alias = 12

Proof - Derty Harry
Bizarre - Peter S. Bizarre
Eminem - Slim Shady
Kon Artis - Mr. Porter
Swift - Swifty McVay
Kuniva - Rondell Beene

Oh my God, I know... But that's not the reason he came up with the name...

[embm]

I don't know if I'm a super Stan or something but I knew about the sitting on the toilet and taking a shit thing waaay before the The Way I Am book dropped.

ya he said it in an interview & a diff book

[mdemaz]

While he was sitting on the toilet, it hit him.

[WakeUpShow]

what greasy food do we have to thank for this wonderful name?

[xnoxiousx]

Thats why people think when there on the toilet all great inventors did the same.

Slim Shady, shit sounds like a fable to me.
Until it jumps out of the fucking toilet when you're taking a pee.

[Asd-ONE]

Did he just pull it out of his ass one day?

Yea, literally.

[VenomBlackViper]

Yeah he said it in a interview too, he's said it multiple times. They needed alter ego names, he was sitting on the toilet & that shit just hit him. It's also a well known fact Lil Wayne was thought off while Dwayne was masterbating to gay porn.

lol no

Yes retard. He needed an alias for the D12 concept and one day when he was on the toilet he thought of Slim Shady and all these things that rhymed with it: Jim Brady, M-80, Kim Lady. Then he went and wrote Just Don't Give a Fuck straight away.

</Stan>

Amadeo facts ftw

Me too. It's not really that super Stanish because it's not something rare that most fans wouldn't remember or know. A lot of Em fans know this (before the book came out and said it).

[Fleka]

You are forgeting that he forgot to wipe his ass.

Oh yeah hahaha.
