That was the whole intro of the Slim Shady EP. Slim Shady was coming to haunt me, was coming to haunt Eminem. Slim Shady is a character, Marshal say's Slim Shady killed Eminem. He say's he is still Eminem though, Slim Shady is just another part of him, the dark, evil, creatively sick part.
Another character is Ken Kaniff, a homosexual who pokes fun at Eminem's songs. Ken was created and originally played by fellow Detroit rapper Aristotle on the Slim Shady LP, where Kaniff makes a prank call to Eminem. An argument after the album's release prompted Eminem to use the Kaniff character on Marshall Mathers and later albums (except Encore and Recovery). Aristotle, angry with Eminem's use of his character, created a mixtape in his Kaniff persona ridiculing the rapper.
