A short clip of Eminem saying his famous opening line from My Name Is, the 1999 hit single, often used for funny self-introductions and meme edits online.

This is a fraction-of-a-second snippet from Eminem's My Name Is, built around the rapper's instantly recognisable introduction to himself. Delivered in his bright, mischievous early-career voice, the line lands with a playful bounce and a hint of attitude, even without the full beat behind it. Because almost everyone knows the hook, hearing just that opening is enough to trigger the whole song in a listener's head, making it feel cheeky, confident and a little absurd when dropped into an unrelated video. It works as a quick identity gag, instantly signalling that someone is about to introduce themselves or steal the scene.

My Name Is was released in 1999 as the lead single from Eminem's album The Slim Shady LP, and it introduced his Slim Shady persona to a mainstream audience. The track became a commercial hit and helped establish Eminem as a major rap star, with its playful, provocative introduction becoming one of his most quoted moments. Decades later, the opening line still circulates in short-form videos, reaction edits and soundboards, where a single familiar phrase is enough for viewers to recognise the song instantly.

Pro Tip for Usage

Drop it on the cut to a new character facing the camera, then hit the punchline immediately after. Keep it at full volume and do not loop it, or the quick introduction joke loses its snap.
