Marshall pushes down the door handle and I see a man sitting at a chair behind his mixing console, he turns around and gets up.

Dr:"Yo em', whatup dawg?"

Ma:"Aaah, Dre, I'm fine, thanks man, hope you too?"

Dr: "Yeah, I am, what chick do you got there?"

Ma:"That's Josie, my girl...she wanted to come with me...okay, right?"

Dr: "Yeah, sure em', nice to meet ya Josie!"

Jo:"Nice to meet ya too!"

I feel a little strange...why does Dre call him Em? And why do they talk so strangely...

Dre goes out of the door after a few minutes of talking and only Marshall and I are there. He probably said he wanted to get us something to drink...

Jo: "Did he called you Em?"

Ma: "Yeah, it means Eminem... So actually a m and another m, for Marshall Mathers...but yeah...it evolved into Eminem..."

Jo:"You have a lot of names...but this one sounds really nice..."

Ma:"haha, thank ya..."

After a minute, Dre comes back in and gives us drinks, me a sparkling water, because I actually only drink that anyway and Marshall a coke... I thank you and take a sip... It's already 12 o'clock now, we're actually just sitting on the sofa, for 1 hour and talking...

Dr:"So, Em, com'on, I'll show you this tape now..."

Ma:"Yeah, okay...come with us Josie..."

Jo: "Yeah..."

We get up, I put my glass on the coffee table and follow Marshall. Dre sits down on his chair and Marshall on the one next to it. Dre also pushed me a chair and I sat quietly next to Marshall... Dr. Dre pushes something on his mixing desk... such plugs, no idea what that means... In any case, he talks about how good this tape has become and that he is curious to see how Marshall finds it.

He presses a button and says:

Dr: "Listen... I'll start it now..."

Ma: "Okay..."

It plays a tape, it doesn't sound bad, honestly... The two "feel the vibe" I have to smile a little and look at Marshall, then he starts to say something...

Ma: "Hi! My name is, what?

My name is, who?

My name is,

Chicka chicka

Slim shady"

I quickly realize that he doesn't say anything, but raps, and it sounds damn good...he keeps doing...

Ma: "Hi! My name is, what?

My name is, who?

My name is,

Chicka chicka

Slim shady"

I'm just smiling at him and Dre seems to like it too. Then Dre switches it relatively quickly and says:

Dr: "Yo em, stop, shit's hot!"

Marshall just laughs and Dre keeps talking...

Dr: "So, I'll record it...start again..."

Ma: "Yeah..."

Dre presses a few more buttons and a red button flashes, then he plays the tape again. Marshall starts again and I can hardly believe it, it sounds extremely good, I can hardly believe it...

I don't know what it's going to become, but it can end damn well... After Dre stops recording, I just look at Marshall enthusiastically...

He turns his head towards me and you can tell him the joy...

Ma:"What do ya think about it?"

Jo: "Shit, that's awesome..."

Ma:"Haha..."

Dr:"Yo em, Come back tomorrow, and do some stanzas... If it's good, we should publish it..."

Ma: "Ya think?"

Dr: "Yeah, definitely..."

Ma: "Okay, so, see ya tomorrow...12am?"

Dr: "Sure, I think you find the exit yourselves..."

Ma: "Yeah, bye Dre..."

Dr:"Bye Em', see ya Josie..."

Jo: "yeah, bye..."

So we say goodbye and leave the studio, Marshall is totally happy, me too, we go down the stairs and leave the building. Then we go back to the bus stop and drive back again...
