Where Did he get that name from?

[Emadyville]

I think it's a wordplay haha

How do you mean?

Marshall Mathers and the candy M&M's lol

how is that wordplay lol

[Le Tunisien]

try work your mind lol

Wordplay involves making jokes by using the meanings of words in an amusing or clever way.

It was M&M at first, but he changed it because of the candy, and made it Eminem instead, because he didn't want to get sued.

What he said

[EminemBase]

how is that wordplay lol

I think what he means is it's a play on the initials. It's similar to wordplay in concept.

It's the fact his initials and the way he spelled it back then were identical to the way they did it so by putting them on his pants, it's like using the same word with a different meaning twice in sentence.

Kind of like when he goes...

"Feel the wrath of a psychopath, slash Ambassador of the Valentines Day massacre
Slash assassin
I slash her in the ass with a icicle and leave her laying a blood bath"

Yeah that's wordplay ^, not taking initials and being phonemically accurate, i'm just saying

[EminemBase]

Yeah that is why he said 'like' wordplay and not wordplay. Saying it's 'like' it = Similar to.

Em used to spell it M+M and it stood for Marshall Mathers not the candy. So by putting the candy on his pants, it's like wordplay by affiliation since the M+M on his pants are unrelated but due to the fact they sound the same, the reference works.

No i know, I agreed with you and I know the whole em story

I was just gettin annoyed he was saying it's wordplay when it's clearly not, I don't kindly to people questioning my intelligence for something stupid that's clearly incorrect

[Elision]

It's pretty self-explanatory.

Yeah but like I said, that's why he said 'like' probably lol. He didn't say it was wordplay, he said it was like it. That means similar too, it's a different thing than saying it is wordplay.

word, it's done, we solved the name mystery
