The Creation Of SLIM SHADY

[dilinkwit]

I just thought to myself........if D12 was invented in 1990 by Proof with the intent to have an alter ego for each member........................WHY did it take Eminem *7* years to make his alter ego?????????
And I also made a thread with ALL the past/present memebrs of D12 and I typed Bizarre was 10 when D12 was formed (that seems a little strange to me!!!!!!!) does anyone know if D12 was formed after 1990 (must have been cuz why would anyone put a fuckin 10 year old in their group......makes no sense!!!!!)
Also...........when did the other group members of D12 conjure up their alter egos????????????

Hope someone can give me the answer!
Thanks

I don't believe alter ego's was the original intention -- they originally wanted a crew of 12 people but when they couldn't get 12 someone (don't know who) suggested having the 6 of them but having an alter ego.

From what I've read, Eminem thought up 'Slim Shady' the same day while he was sitting on the toilet taking a crap. I don't know when the other members came up with theres, but none of them really seemed to take their alter ego as seriously as Eminem did.

As for Bizarre being 10, I really have no idea -- but I doubt he's only 25. If Eminem's 32 that would mean he was hanging out with 10 year olds when he was 17... unlikely, isn't it.

em wasnt supposed to be in d12 was he? i think it was supposed to be Bugz instead of Em but when he passed away Em aksed if he cud be in and they agreed...

lets please not get into who replaced who.

[CH£ST£R]

well i thought em replaced bugz but i guess i was wrong...i aint gettin into any debate i dont have the energy to...

[Dark5859]

ok heres the story that I understand.

Proof, Bizzy started the group. Bugz soon joined the group. Then one of them found Kon and Kuniva. Proof had known Eminem for a long time before that, so one day he decided to introduce Em to the group. Em then worked with them, but wasn't officially in the group. Bugz's last wish before he died was for Swift to be in the group, and they fulfilled his wish. Eminem soon after joined and signed them to Shady Records.

d12 was started by proof ,bugs last wish was to have swift in the group ,i heard em used to appear as a special guest but i dont belive that ...they lie about everything ,,the way dr.dre heard eminem has been told 3 differnet versions by em himself so basically they just talk shit
