Eminem ‘My Name Is’ The story behind the song…Dave playing the bass line for the first time since he recorded it. It was 1975, my dad played guitar, it was a song by Labi Siffre called "I Got The…” - the track that was sampled by Eminem becoming the heartbeat of his breakthrough single "My Name Is". #Eminem #ChasnDave #Labisiffre

In 1987 Labi Siffre released Something Inside So Strong, inspired by white Apartheid in South Africa. It ended in 1990. Some may say it's ironic that it's used by Tommy Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧. But we live in two-tier Britain where white people & their BAME allies are openly discriminated against. It highlights Tommy's struggles at the hands of the state. There is a fine tribute to Peter Lynch, a political prisoner who committed suicide in prison.
