This is a sample from Em’s May 2000 track, “Remember Me” : I’m tryin' to clean up my fuckin' image So I promised the fuckin' critics I wouldn’t say “fuckin'” for six minutes Six minutes Slim Shady, you’re on The origin of the idea comes from Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew’s hip-hop classic, “The Show” : 6 minutes, Doug E. Fresh you’re on From the first chorus to the end of the song it is exactly six minutes long which would explain why Em used the sample.
