A judge who sentenced Eminem in a case two decades ago was able to say a line in court that is likely ticking off someone's bucket list wish.
In June 2001, Eminem was brought to court on a weapons charge that stemmed from a dispute with a rival Detroit rap group the year prior.
The rapper was accused of pulling out a 9mm semi-automatic gun during an argument with Insane Clown Posse in a parking lot - though witnesses at the time testified that he didn't pull the gun on anyone specific, and the musician revealing that the gun also wasn't loaded.
At it's worse, the rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, could have faced a five year prison sentence, or a year's probation due to the severity of the crime.

He ended up pleading no contest to charges of carrying a concealed weapon and brandishing a weapon.
So there would be no five-year sentence for him.
However, Circuit Judge Denise Langford Morris said at the time: "Poor judgment is an understatement for what you did. You are extremely lucky, sir, that no one was injured or killed."

Defense attorney Wally Piszczatowski said in court that his client was happy with they described as a 'fair sentence'.
Piszczatowski said: "He's very pleased that the judge treated him like (she) would treat any other citizen ... rather than sentencing him due to celebrity status.
"He's just happy that the criminal cases are over."
Meanwhile, prosecutor Mark Bilkovic had asked the judge for Eminem to be sent to jail.

"I'm still satisfied with what she did," he said. "She's going to be holding a hammer over his head for the next year... If he screws up one time, she'll be on him."

The one song we all associate with Eminem is of course 'The Real Slim Shady' - the classic hit that really propelled the rapper into stardom.
A particular famous line from the song is 'Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?', something the judge poked a bit of fun at during proceedings.
At one point, the judge said: "Mr. Mathers. Now is the time for you to please stand up."

The rapper barely said a word at the sentencing, only muttering 'No, ma'am' when responding to a question from the judge.
Alongside his one year probation, Eminem was ordered to pay more than $2,300 in fines and court fees, plus contribute to some community service.
