~D-12 originally wanted to be called the Dirty Dozen, but the name was already taken by a jazz group. They ended up choosing D-12 which is short for Dirty Dozen or the Detroit 12. The reason why the group wanted to be named the Dirty Dozen was because they all wanted to do a Western song and be outlaws in it.

~All members had to have alter egos, but EM had the most trouble picking a name. He says that the name (Slim Shady) finally came to him one day while he was taking a shit and that once he thought of it he started thinking of 100 other words that rhymed with it.

~While D-12 was touring in Australia (2001), they spent some of their free time fishing and bowling.

~The rest of D-12 say that EM cant dribble a basketball without traveling, but still dont see him as white and even call him nigga.

~Devils Night would have been released sooner, but EM lost his Britney notebook that contained a grip of lyrics on a Delta Air Lines Flight from Cincinnati to New Orleans. Even though a big ass reward was offered (either $$ or a chance to meet EM in person), it never turned up.

~Devils Night was named after the Detroit holiday (which takes place the night before Halloween) where everybody basically trashes everything in sight. The tradition began in the mid 80s and last year, Devils Night was the cause of 151 fires that were set in the city.

~All of the members have kids except for Kuniva.

~Before D-12 was formed, EM was a battle rhymer, Proof was a freestyler and hosted open-mike battles every Saturday, Bizarre was a solo artist, Kuniva and Kon Artis were part of Da Brigade, and Swift was part of the Rabeez. DJ Head, EMs former CO-producer and DJ, was also the turntablist at the Hip Hop Shop.

~Proof came up with the idea to form the group because he wanted to bring all of Detroits illest MCs together.

~D-12 used to perform at Maurice Malones Hip Hop Shop on 7 Mile Road, St. Andrews Hall, and Alvins.

~When the group didnt get any record deals after years of touring, they all decided to go solo and the 1st one to become famous would come back for the rest of D-12. Everyone in the group thought that Proof would be the first member discovered. When Dre discovered EM out of nowhere and signed him to Aftermath, everyone was surprised.

~Even though EM was the member to get D-12 signed, hes not the leader because the group says that it doesnt have one.

~Kon Artis used to steal cars and wanted to be in the NBA, but after getting shot in the leg, he decided to stick to rapping.

~Kuniva battled EM to boost his early career.

~Swift took the place of the late member Bugz. He passed away May 21, 1999 because of a water gun incident at a picnic that turned into a fistfight. One of his last requests was to have Swift in the group. .

~Bizarre had a solo effort called Attack of the Weirdos EP in 1998.

~EM and Proof met during their high school years. EM was at Lincoln High passing out flyers to a talent show he was doing. He gave 1 to Proof and they ended up rapping together. Proof and him both ended up rhyming first place with birthday. Proof then introduced EM to Kon Artis and the rest is history

~ Stans full name is Stanley Mitchell, and he lives in Portland, MD.

~ In the Stan video, Marc Labelle, EMs road manager, is the guy who hands him Stans letter on the tour bus.

~ Stan gets mad at his girlfriend (Dido) when she interrupts him watching The Way I Am video.

~ At the end of the Stan video, you can see Stans reflection in the window looking at EM when the lightning strikes.

~ In The Way I Am video, Proof is in the scene when EM is doing a radio interview and flips the DJ off.

~ The scene when EM throws a chair at his Slim Shady LP platinum plaque was inspired by the pressure EM felt by his label to write a hit as the first single for the Marshall Mathers LP.

~ In Without Me, the name of the blow-up doll is Beth.

~EM is eating Cheetos in the Real World part of Without Me.

~ The EM fan in Without Me has an Up In Smoke poster and a black and white picture from the May 2002 Source with EM on the cover.

~ There are 2 different versions of a scene in Cleanin Out My Closet. When EMs mom throws a glass at the TV, EM is accepting a VMA award, but on BET, it has him accepting a Grammy.

~ In Cleanin Out My Closet, there is a clip of the Rally Against Hate GLAAD held at the Staples Center when they didnt want EM to perform at the Grammys.
