> My name is Eminem, and I am an American rapper. The song "My Name Is" is from my second album, The Slim Shady LP (1999), and it is also the opening song and lead single of the album. The song features a bass and guitar riff performed by Siffre's session musicians Chas Hodges, who later became the duo Chas & Dave. Some famous names referenced in the song include Nine Inch Nails, the Spice Girls, and Pamela Anderson (Pamela Lee). The song gained me significant recognition and helped me rise to national prominence.
