Album cover for The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem

Back in the day, as us old farts used to say back in the day, before your time, etc… People used to put an ‘e’ in front of everything before they went online with it – eMail, eBay, eMusic, eWhatever. I suppose the e stood for ‘electronic’, though in many cases it could have stood for ‘eccentric’, ‘erratic’, or ‘extra<supply your own adjective here, like ‘Smelly’>.
I think that might be the case here. I mean, E-mine-m is pretty weird, right? Eccentric-Mine-m (what’s the m for? Music? Mmmm. Maybe.) It’s pretty eccentric, so that fits. I don’t know what it’s mining, though, maybe it pertains to the possessive pronoun (Ha Mrs. Rehn! (My 9th grade English teacher.) Bet you didn’t think I’d even remember that was thing, much less use it in a semi-correctly assembled sentence)? And, it’s kinda sorta music, in that it has a rhythm and something resembling a melody, along with ‘lyrics’, much as they don’t match the melody.
By the way, there are some naughty words and themes on this album. You probably shouldn’t listen to it.
