"Eminem comes in in this bright yellow fucking sweatsuit, hoodie, pants everything," Dre remembers of his first time meeting Eminem. "I'm looking at Dre like, 'Dude, I see you on TV all the time. You're one of my biggest influences ever in life," Em added. The two got in the studio and came up with the idea for "My Name Is" within their first few minutes of being together.
