Do you know why eminem is called 'eminem'...and also...why does he call himself slim shady as well?

I don't know about the Slim Shady name, but Eminem is for "M and M" which are his initials for his real name Marshall Mathers.

My guess is you already know this because of your name on here, but maybe not.

Edit - According to Urban Dictionary, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slim+shady
"Slim Shady" is a light skinned individual who acts black. Shady/shade refers to an area or a space of partial darkness. The slang is used to describe a person with dark/black skin. Also noted as referring to a white male who acts like a stereotypical black male.

The answer rated the best is: Eminem's alternate name....kinda, more like the "evil" side of Marshall. He blames Slim for everything that happens, with his family, and work, that happens that is bad. And in one of his most recent songs "When I'm Gone" he "kills" Slim. "but tonight slim shady's goin rocka-bye-baby"
