'Brenda' in Stay Wide Awake

[UofLCard]

Is that supposed to be a reference/nod to Brenda's Got a Baby?

[Amaranthine]

Probably.

[EminemBase]

I doubt it. Probably just a name that went with the rhymes to him.

This topic has been discussed before. I really don't think so, he uses names in rhyme schemes a lot. Like Tabitha in Music Box for example, then he chances his victim to Pamela because that name also rhymes lol

[UofLCard]

I guess not.

[Mr. Porter]

I doubt it.

Norway kills knows best:

Notice how he never calls himself Shady in Stay Wide Awake? I suspect that the song depicts the birth of Slim Shady himself, and that the rapist actually is Marshall Mathers. Slim Shady first appeared in the 90's, the exact same decade Tupac claimed Brenda gave birth to her baby. It's so obvious now!

Brenda is the mother of Shady!

Suuuuuch a reach, but a good theory.

... ... that's an awesome theory! I hope to God it's true.

lol great origin story

So Marshall has a son called Shady? Stupid theory. It only works logically with him taking the character of Tupac in that instance.
