Eminem decided to 'kill' his alter ego, with whom he became famous in '99, after the release of the song "My Name Is" and then, "The Real Slim Shady". This alter ego is synonymous with how Em presented himself to the public with his music, blond hair and a slightly unstable character. In 2002, according to Time, the character created by Eminem was described as a 'nightmare projection' and a fantasy born of uncontrolled rage.

The world was prepared for the new album as early as March 19 of this year, when Dr. Dre, guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", said that the new album is going to be yum. Then, on April 26, in his hometown of Detroit, Eminem debuted an Unsolved Mysteries-style video in which he wrote, "Who killed Slim Shady?"
