Eminem's first time taking drugs was when he was with the D12 or Dirty 12. It was before they were D12 and they were just six Detroit rappers. The first dose of drugs he took were a handful of Tylenol. He couldn't stomach them and threw them up. However while he was under the influence of the drugs, he bleached his hair blond. When he became sober again, he saw what he had done and thought that it fitted him. He gave himself the name
Slim Shady and inspired D12 to be born.
