About this video

Credits: 🎥 Eminem Dr. Dre - My Name is (Slim Shady LP) @RapRender
Eminem created "My Name Is" with Dr. Dre in their first studio session by instantly responding to a sample Dre played. Dre looped a bassline from Labi Siffre's song "I Got The...", and Eminem, inspired, began freestyling "Hi, my name is...", leading to the song's iconic hook. He then went home and completed the lyrics on the spot, resulting in the track that introduced Eminem to the world and launched his career.
