I'm steaming mad (grr)
And by the way, when you see my dad (yeah?)
Tell him that I slit his throat in this dream I had

from Eminem – My Name Is Lyrics on Rap Genius

Everyone knows Em’s dad split on the family when he was a wee babe. He even states that he tried to contact his father through letters, but they were sent back every time.

The irony here is that as a result of this song Marshall’s half brother Michael Mathers and sister Sarah Mathers saw the video and at the beginning it shows “Starring Marshall Mathers”. That is also their fathers name, and when Marshall Bruce Mathers II was told about this he attempts to contact his son. Also his half brother and sister attempted to contact him which Eminem wrote about in Marshall Mathers

Eminem has softened with his views on Kim and his mother as the years go on, but the one constant has been his anger towards his father. His reasoning for this is that since he is now a father he could never imagine someone running out on his daughter like he did to Em.
