Eminem released My Name Is in 1999 as the lead single from The Slim Shady LP, using the repeated introduction to launch his Slim Shady persona. The 'what?' and 'who?' exchanges turned a simple greeting into a memorable hook built around playful self mythologising. Clips of that opening later circulated widely on soundboards and in short video edits, where the short phrase works without the full track. It remains popular because the setup is understood in seconds and fits introductions, parodies and reaction edits across generations of listeners online today.

The Eminem 'my name is, what?' intro snippet from his 1999 hit, used for funny introductions, name reveals and awkward identity moments in edits.
This short clip captures the playful call and response hook from Eminem's My Name Is, where the line 'my name is, what?' is delivered with exaggerated confusion before the reveal. The bouncy delivery and instantly recognisable rhythm make it feel like a joke introduction rather than a normal greeting. Viewers hear it as a cue that someone is about to announce themselves in an over the top way, forget their own name for comic effect, or interrupt a serious moment with a familiar rap reference that lands immediately.
