TIL Eminem created Slim Shady when D12 (short for the dirty dozen) was formed. It included 6 rappers and their 6 alter egos.

I know - it was a joke. It's a line from "'Till I collapse:

Music is like magic, there's a certain feelin' you get

When you real and you spit, and people are feelin' your shit

This is your moment, and every single minute you spend

Tryna hold on to it because you may never get it again

So while you're in it, try to get as much shit as you can

And when your run is over, just admit when it's at its end

'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half the shit that gets in

I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in

It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie

Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then me

But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy

So when I'm not put on this list, the shit does not offend me

That's why you see me walk around like nothing's botherin' me

Even though half you people got a fuckin' problem with me

You hate it, but you know respect you got to give me

The press's wet dream, like Bobby and Whitney — Nate, hit me!
