Dre’s verse begins with an account of Eminem and Dre’s first day in the studio. “It literally feels like a lifetime ago But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday, though You walked in, yellow jump suit, whole room, cracked jokes Once you got inside the booth, told you, mic smoke” Dr. Dre, “I Need A Doctor” Eminem walked into the studio in an all-yellow jumpsuit. As per Dre, Eminem lightened up the atmosphere in the studio with his jokes. Now that’s surely a sign of confidence coming from Eminem, to be able to hold his own in front of his life-long inspiration. It wasn’t just the jokes obviously. Within a few minutes of Dr. Dre hitting a beat on, Eminem started flowing and they had their chorus for the classic track “My Name Is”.

For Eminem, this moment couldn’t have been farther from a dream. He was sitting in a studio with one of his inspirations, working with him. This moment transpired through a series of events which had begun with Eminem’s performance at the Rap Olympics 1997. A Few Weeks Ago… The story of how Eminem met Dr. Dre has by now been canonized and passed on in folklore. But during the early years multiple versions of the stories were in circulation. The music journalist Anthony Bozza mentions three other versions of the story in his book, Eminem, Whatever You Say I Am: The Life and Times of Eminem. “There have been many versions told of how Dr. Dre came to hear Eminem. In one Dre heard him rap on the nationally syndicated Friday night hip-hop showcase The Wake Up Show, with King Tech and DJ-rapper-turned-MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway, and phoned the studio. Other variations of the story of Eminem’s discovery state that either Dr. Dre, Iovine, or both approached the rapper at the end of the ’97 Olympics. A third says that Dr. Dre happened upon a tape of Eminem’s Slim Shady EP on the floor of Iovine’s gym. The truth is that the night after taking second place in the Rap Olympics, Eminem freestyled on The Wake Up Show along with a group of rappers who had also competed. Dr. Dre did, in fact, hear him, and remembered Eminem’s voice when Iovine handed him a tape sometime afterward.” Anthony Bozza, Whatever You Say I Am: The Life and Times of Eminem. Marshall Bruce Mathers III a.k.a. Eminem had just appeared in the battle rap event, Rap Olympics 1997, where he finished second. The grainy bootleg videos from the event depict Eminem delivering verses with his now characteristic flow. But times were different for him then. He wasn’t yet the Eminem we know him to be today, a household name regardless if one is a hip hop listener or not. Eminem was just another rapper then, struggling to make ends meet while trying to make sure to spread his EP as wide as possible. The day didn’t end well for Eminem. He lost the rap battle to a LA rapper Otherwize and was out of the competition. Down This 8 Mile Road Going back to Detroit empty-handed was an especially disappointing moment. Financially Eminem was not doing well. He had no job and had no home to go back to. Anthony Bozza, in his second book on Eminem, Not Afraid: The Evolution of Eminem, notes that “He participated in the Rap Olympics not to walk home with bragging rights but because he needed the prizes ($500 and a Rolex).” FULL ARTICLE ON HOW EMINEM AND DR.
