In the rap group he was in it was called D12 aka the dirty dozen. The original plan was to get 12 of the best rappers from Detroit but they only had 7. Then Eminem became famous. Leaving 6 So they all came up with nicknames to make 12. After the death of Bugz they had 5 so Eminem rejoined the group an came up with the name slim shady while he was taking a dump because he was real skinny and a ton of things rhymed with it.
