"How Come" is a 2004 rap single by the rap group D12. It is the second single from their 2004 sophomore album D12 World. The song is about the beef between D12 and Royce Da 5'9 and how they were, at the time, not speaking to each other.
[edit] Video
The video depicts members of D12 fighting with Eminem in the Shady Records studio. It shows a detailed strain on the members relationships, after dating. They discuss how Shady rose to stardom, and they can't get a deal. They envy Eminem, but he doesn't think there is anything to envy, the song ends, leaving people wondering, with the members dissatisfied.
[edit] Other Fact
It is also the title of a song co-written by Ronnie Lane and Clive Westlake, and recorded by Lane as his first single in 1973 after he left The Faces. Featuring a band of constantly changing personnel called Slim Chance, including Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle, who later had considerable success as a performing and songwriting duo in their own right, it reached No. 11 in the UK.
A softer cover version was made by the British Band Embrace for their live performances. Their version is shortened to Eminem's lyrics on the song, cutting out Proof and Kuniva. http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/embrace%20to%20embrace%20rap
When the video is played for this song, the song often joins onto a shortened version of the D12 song, Git up.
