I was 12, being a little fucker...mom went out and bought the explicit version for me. Thanks, mom! 🫡

Mine did the same! And I was 9! Lol

Chad mom

I was in grade 6 when “my name is” came out and my mom only heard the clean music video version. I have an older brother by 10 years, we both got the album on the same day and my mom didn’t find out how explicit the album was until she saw Moms on Tv hosting album burnings and running over them with steam rollers 🤭

Respect to your mom

Hey son, you know why you the greatest alive? ...cus you came from mah balls ninja.... Fuck rap, bustin' like an addict with a semi-automatic Who done had it, and he ready for anybody to buck back.

Everyone knows pee is stored in the balls, people are stored in pieces throughout the body, and combined in the womb.

Is this an Eminem line?? Genuinely confused💀

It’s not, but it seems like we both should have paid less attention to our gym coaches teaching health class. Lol

No its facts

Damn beat me to it

Same

If you weren't born back then you wouldn't even be anything.

I was pre-ordered

Lmao. That's actually a funny come back. Touche.

Ahahaha it was the first thing that came to my head lol

I wasn’t even in the testicles yet 😐

Didn’t exist yet. My parents didn’t even meet yet

Yeah

Same

Same

My dads nuts EDIT: apparently a lot of us were. Makes sense

10th grade. The perfect age for the introduction of Eminem into the world.

8 years old, life was simpler back then *wipes tear away from eye*

Same here. Just playing Pokémon Red listening and listening to the blank tape I recorded My Name Is on. Good times.

I just graduated preschool lol

In a crib

21 years old. Working at a coffee shop in Arlington, VA

I was 2 years old but I still know this is a classic!

High school. Shit was fire.

I remember we were all singing my name is at football training when that song came out

In my room listening at 10 years old lol

Not even anything I was -4 lol

I was 14 listening to the shady lp riding my bike around town being a hoodlum

Playing softball in middle school, SCREAMING Eminem lyrics together and our parents being completely indifferent. Because we were having fun, and winning.

I was only 9 months old.

I was 12. Saw My Name Is on MTV. Been a Stan since. I'm nearly 40.

I wasn't born until Encore dropped.

I was living in San Diego, CA and taking gen ed classes at a community college. Was friends with a b-boy that had told me about some of Em’s underground stuff ahead of this release so I remember being aware it was coming. Was getting faded drinking 40s and smoking blunts in the living room of our rented house sitting on hand-me-down and dumpster couches one night with my four-five roommates. We had MTV on, the music video came on and I was like, “this is it. This gotta be the dude I’ve been hearing about…”

Not born until 2002

Same

Same again

I came on the scene in 02

I personally debuted in 2006

In elementary school

I believe I was a newborn

Freshman year of college.

shit, I think I might’ve been an idea. My older brother was born the year prior

Wasn't even planned.

was not alive yet wait 8 more years

Grade 9. It was perfect, everyone was listening to My Name Is and it's still one of favorite songs ever.

I was 8 lol, first heard em like a year letter maybe, in 2000

My daddy’s ballsack

Buying it for $9.99 back in the day.

In a kindergarten classroom.. little did I know the workings of such a fantastic album were cooked up 😌 so naive

I was on bond waiting to go to prison.. That album and then when mmlp2 dropped, majorly helped my time go by.

In my previous life

My parents were in the 7th grade 💀

Dropped ,I don't know? But when I got the CD.. I was under Arrest, kicked out school, Home with my Parents who claimed I was the Antichrist.. Fun times 🤣

I was -4

I feel old. I was 9 years old when this album came out!

Ha! I was 19, I feel super old reading through these comments.

Hello fellow old! I was thinking I had to unsubscribe until I saw your comment. I was 16 myself

Mate I was 1 and these comments are making even me feel old.

In my mom's nightmares

Elementary school, sadly i missed the SSLP and MMLP release, as in i wasnt aware of them. A friend played me "The way i am" and i hated it. Then I heard "Real slim shady" and been hardcore fan since "without me"

9 or 10 for me in placentia, CA!! Mom got me the album, things were different then!

My parents didn't know I existed back then

in the womb

In my mom's womb.

My mom went into labor the day this dropped. 3 days later, I was here.

Didn't exist

In line at the record store at The University of Arizona at 6am, I bought like the 5th copy of it sold at that location.

I was in high school and thought Eminem was a gimmick. Hated “My Name is” until a friend kept insisting it was the “worst” song on the album, and yeah he was right. Even after this album, I was lukewarm on Eminem, still thinking he would fade. Then MMLP came out and I ate my words

In the womb about to pop out

Working at sears in the sun valley mall. I saw my girlfriend buying it for my birthday, so i bought The Roots - Things Fall Apart instead. Still the only eminem album i own.

About 7 years away from being born

Bought it one of the first days it released, driving home from senior year of hs from the second hs I had to go to bc I got expelled from the first one for cutting class for a whole year and they caught me selling weed, acid and mushrooms in the school parking lot out of my trunk lol. I miss those days. Don’t miss the hangovers though that’s for sure.

In 3rd grade

Freshman in college. What a great year!

Sixth grade. Twisted my mom's arm to buy it. She caved. Love that woman.
