To answer who writes like Em. Tech N9ne you should do the Kathartic series and "Outdone". There's a continuation of this song in sorts from the Marshall Mathers LP2 called "Bad Guy"
hey dont know if you already new but when the lightning strikes when hes sitting on the bus at 19:24 you can see stans reflection stearing at eminem in the window, my brother showed me when i was a kid always hated watching that part ever since lol.
Yes! I've been using that argument for years. I go further, Eminem is a character who created slim shady and a bunch of the songs. Marshall > Eminem> slim shady. All seperate characters in a story. He's brilliant.
You asked about the origin of the story: Years ago (late 70’s) there was a book called THE FAN. It was a cleverly written book about this guy who’s in love with a Broadway star and writes letters to her every day, but her assistant never lets her read them. Because his letters go unanswered, his anger escalates and he starts killing people in her world, all hoping to get her attention. What’s really great about how they wrote the book is that the story is told completely through letters, memos, telegrams and police reports.
Exactly just a crazy obsession like some people get for some famous people 😅😅 Reminds me of Mariah Carey with the song Obsessed even though she was kinda of dissing Eminem 🙈🙈🙈
@@adamwallis3235 yeah, we know about the "Stanley" part, but it's also a play on the words stalker & fan...which is exactly how Stanley was behaving in this video. A stan.
@@sicksadworld6221 yea but I'm saying it's a chicken and egg situation- Stan the song came before stan the phrase, people then just ascribed a meaning to it afterwards
Fun fact: At the end of the video, when Eminem realizes that it was Stan he had seen in the news and the lightning flashes that final time.. you can see Stan’s ghost in the window staring at him.
I'm sorry but that's just creepy, it's not the person themselves but the situation of having someone watching you when you don't know especially if it was a ghost since the unknown can be scary and we know nothing about ghosts/the ghost world if there is one
Kids don't realize that when Eminem first came out he entirely changed how rap was written, performed, and perceived. Totally changed what was possible using the medium of rap music. Even the DJ's that first played his music weren't sure what to make of it because it was so different. Genius.
The actor Devon Sawa a was the character "Stan". He was in numerous movies and TV shows. Dr. Dre saw him in Final Destination and cast him for the part of "Stan". Another little tidbit is the singer Dido played the pregnant girlfriend. It's her song and her voice singing in the video. 🔥 🔥 🔥
I love how he says about his little brother is such a big fan but when we see him the brother doesn't give a shit. Another great way to show that the obsession is clouding his view of reality.
Tails he calling him stan. And mgk's daughter is Mathew.That was a warning to mgk about not saying Hailie's name again Eminem just letting him know that we boths dads with daughter you don't want me mentioning your daughter by name in a song just letting him know that he knows about her. Plus he saying MGK dead career over and his daughter is going to grow up bitter blaming and hating eminem for it.
@@itskev8126 thanks, I knew all that. I'm a huge Eminem fan (or Stan, except I've never bleached my hair). I've listened to Killshot about 300 times and seen many breakdown videos. I'm pretty sure I have a grasp of all of the bars. I was just saying that since MGK is a Stan, maybe he is the original Stans little bro, Matthew.
Indeed but the fun thing is that his name is Stanley. And how can it be that he says that he is M's biggest fan but also that his little brother is a bigger fan? 😁😁😁
i kinda like how the dad said he'll shut up and let the kids do their thing, but ends up pausing the song repeatedly to comment. when you like a song so much that it becomes impossible for you to not talk about it.
These kids nowadays have literally no idea how freaking big eminem was when the Marshall Mathers LP came out. I know he is still one of the biggest but back then EVERYBODY knew him. EVERYBODY
Stefan Roos I first heard Eminem on an alternative radio station..My Name Is.. before he really broke and went mainstream, bought the album. He was just so funny, and his lyrics were genius. I always tease my kids that I was listening to Eminem while they were putting Spice Girls posters on the wall, just to remind them who’s cool 😎
I will always remember my buddy was big on Eminem. When The Eminem Show was being hyped my buddy got a leaked version of Without Me. This was when burning CDs was a thing and he burned that song for all our group. I was in 8th grade listening to that song on repeat.
Damn, I'm getting old.. I forget that this song was released 20 years ago and is technically a "classic". To me, it feels like it just came out yesterday.
Pretty soon they'll be calling Eminem's music, "Vintage Eminem". If that doesn't make you feel old, i don't know what will. Classic music can be roughly a decade, but vintage is more of a generational gap, twenty plus years... It's about that time where you might just here vintage when Eminem is brought up in a conversation. Scary thought...
“I hope you can’t sleep and you dream about it. AND WHEN YOU DREAM I HOPE YOU CAN’T SLEEP AND YOU SCREAM ABOUT IT, I HOPE YOUR CONSCIENCE EATS AT YOU WHEN YOU CAN’T BREATHE WITHOUT ME” This part always gives me chills. I personally think this is one of his best songs
I personally think this is his best song. Its the favorite of many. It created a word in the dictionary. Its a short movie. Its got 4 verses instead of the traditional 3. Dido on the hook was just perfect. I'm not even a big fan of his but this song is probably the greatest hip hop song ever made. Definitely the most creative.
About the whole Matthew ordeal, Matthew's story is extended in Em's song "Bad Guy." [SPOILER ALERT] So, in the song, Matthew goes along to hate Eminem. He hates him because he thinks that it was Em who killed his brother, and he wants revenge. So, the story goes that Matthew breaks into Em's house, kidnaps him, places him in his trunk, drives off, and throws his car off a bridge as a form of revenge.
......the horrible correlation and connection to these tracks (Stan and Bad Guy), this last year in the midst of the Coronavirus going on, a fan of his snuck past Em's security, broke into his house, and Em was the first one to find him, no one was hurt or anything, but the fact that part of Bad Guy actually now has happened in real life basically, is scary and gives the song an extra eerie edge, along with this one. This song was of course written after Em received many fan mails.
I think a fan would do something like that I just think it is a particularly type of fan that is obsessed and act irrationally about someone they have never met before. That has just to happen to be in the public eye and fames.
"26-year-old Matthew David Hughes broke into Marshall Mathers’ Detroit home last month only to be confronted by the rapper himself, and is now being held on a $50,000 (£40k) bond at Macomb County jail in Michigan." Music video released on November 21, 2000. The lyric "You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew That's my little brother man, he's only six years old" This is freaking mind blowing!!! Also did not know until today that Matthew in the video was played by Em's younger brother Nathan.
Well, this song is based on a true story. I actually REMEMBER that particular incident from back then and when this song was released, this could be true.
@@stephsays-503 not sure Em would have used the real names. But I have heard that Stan was based on a true story years ago. It would be crazy if the guy who broke in was connected to the true story.
Urban dictionary - A crazed and or obsessed fan. The term comes from the song Stan by eminem. The term Stan is used to describe a fan who goes to great lengths to obsess over a celebrity. Also "stan" is a portmanteau of the words "stalker" and "fan," and refers to someone who is overly obsessed with a celebrity.
The Actor's name is Devon Sawa. He was a child actor and teen idol in the 90's and started in Little Giants, Casper, Idle Hands, and Final Destination. He's a pretty damn good actor.
Pull up Dido’s “Thank You”. It is the song than Eminem sampled for Stan. Dido is also “Stan’s girlfriend” in the video. She is a beautiful singer. You will be blown away by her music stylings, too.
@@charlia7695 dude the stalker IS the fan, and yes his name is Stan, and this song has become so ingrained in pop culture that people reference this song, and Stan, as a name for a obsessed fan
The absolute stunned, speechless faces of the kids at the end was priceless. You can't fake that reaction to this video. Em is TRULY one of the Gods of story telling in rhyme.
Yes he invented the word...one thing about Em nobody really gets is his rhyme patterns,we all know he has bars and double entendres but he rhymes sentences,he rhymes paragraphs. He'll make every other word or every third word for example rhyme..and does syllable rhyming. He is technically the best rapper ever,on a technical stand point. I know not everyone rocks with him and that's cool,but his skill is second to none
I swear the breakdown you have is one of the most legit ones ! Your love for him really shows. I'm not American but i really do hope Eminem got the respect he deserves from the black community out there too cause he has been so influential for the hip hop scene. The way he works around the pen nobody still can touch him
I think that the message you’re sending to you children is great, you seem like an amazing father. Your kids are going to go far with your guidance! Keep that energy up man
@@MoistTowelette125 what does that have to do with Em being better. 2Pac's done more in music than Em will EVER do. not to mention movies also. btw there's no maybe Pac's alive no he's dead don't try that shit. Pac is the greatest so get over it
BIG TREY I actually hate most rap and hip hop, so I can’t say much. It just doesn’t sound good, to me. Eminem is one of the exceptions. 2pac being dead does matter, tho, because Eminem can still accomplish great feats, where as 2pac cannot.
BIG TREY yes 2Pac did a lot for rap but in a whole if you say pac is better then eminem I disagree the beauty of rap is everyone feels different I understand feeling 2Pac is the better rapper but him being dead does add a bit of bias. Overall success I say em is better and he was catchy to the entire country. Biggie was the same in the sense that his music appealed to the entire country I am a Cali native and I assume you may be from the west coast if so you know west coast style music was harder to like because it’s so fit to the west period. I do feel tho that pac is overlooked a lot definitely a solid #3 in my top 10 list
Both are equally as sad in different prospective. Suicidal teenage girls could relate a lot more to a song from a teenage girl (who turned 18 just last year? Or 2019) rather than a man who does indeed rap facts but hits a sort of mood thats more frustrated and accepting rather than depressed and controlled you feel? It's okay if you don't understand and I get where you're coming from but it's not just about the topic, it's the genre, the mood it all contributes to a song and some teenage girls just resonate more with Billie. Although as a 13 year old teenage girl Eminem would be infact more heart-felt and realistic to me than a Billie eillish song.
@avfn ye but lots of people still relate to the story Stan... expecially the abuse part in the story where Stan beats up dido a lot maybe not as much driving of the bridge but there still a lot of relatable things in this story that can cause a lot of mental problems so while billie eillish fans suffer from depression and anxiety, where as kids who witness or feel abuse will be scarred for life suffer from depression and will be shy and timid wherever they goes, and as well the mother that will go through the abuse will suffer bad injuries, depression, anxiety, she will be paranoid to find a new bf and worst of all she’s probably gonna have to raise her kid by herself because she’s going to move out of the abusive farthers house or even worse have to give up her kid and put them up for adoption so there safe while the mum still gets beat up
The worst part is that they call themselves “Stans” when they don’t even realize the fucked up meaning behind it. I think fandoms in general would be a lot better altogether if everyone heard this.
Your daughter's face is how I imagine everyone hearing Em for the first time. YOUR face is that of the Eminem fan who's trying to turn them onto his music. Lolol. Good stuff.
What a beautiful family! The looks on their faces at the end when there's just nothing left to say pretty much sums up the entire experience of this song for me.
You should get an award just for explaining this to your kids and passing on some of the roots of hiphop as it made the way for young rappers today. An example I intend to follow in the near future.
i literally just wrote a comment saying exactly this. Its such an over-looked piece of artwork which I kinda wish Eminem had done a song where its about Stanley coming back after he faked his own death, so this would symbolise him being physically outside the window of the coach.
"Stan" the song was based on a true story that sadly happened and also a way of saying his fans are to atractive to him and need to calm down so this would never happen again as em states"i didnt mean for this to happen the fans are to fucking in to me to die if i dont reply in time damn"later on after 5 days the interview was tooken off of any social media
Its crazy to think younger people haven't heard/ know the significance of Stan. Don't get me wrong, it was before their time so I definitely understand. This was awesome to see you showing this to your kids, everyone killed it bro. Its wild to think that sometime in the future ill be explaining Eminem and this song to my kids saying the same sort of things "oh yea... so Eminem was blonde back then lol"
He literally said “we should be together” sounds like he’s gay to me. & I’m a lesbian, lol. So there’s no issue with it but he definitely is at the very least gay for Eminem
Mekel Reen there’s more to a relationship than just sex. Like i said, he’s at the very least gay for Eminem. He would be with him; another man; therefore making him at least gay for Eminem. Sexual inclination or not.
Jada Forsee he didn’t make it clear he meant it sexually and often such obsessed people think of very disturbed forms of being with with someone and closeness that don’t involve sex.
Mekel Reen the sex aspect or NOT, he’s still saying he wants to be BE with him.. I’m confused why people are acting like the only thing to being gay or being in a relationship is sex
I’m 26 years old and I Grew up on classic Eminem. This song hits so different. The intensity level is through the roof!! All my 90’s early 2000’s babies, please stand up please stand up
My name Is “I’ve been driving round this side of town for like 9 hours and 45 minutes now” do you wanna guess the total length of Eminems solo discography when the album was released? :p 🤣
Have you ever heard of people having different tastes in music lol...You know that’s a thing right. There is probably someone of every age who does and don’t know this song and a bunch of other songs by other artists.😂
@@nathanmedina2809 if their dad is a hip hop head they'd likely hear him listening to old rap songs. I'm not into 60s rock but have heard most of the iconic Beatles and Rolling Stones songs.
Have you notice the last part when EM said "it was you" The actor appears at the window staring at Eminem. That was classic Eminem. By the way hands down for the actor DEVON SAWA (he's the star in final destination)
“I just drank a 5th of vodka, dare me to drive.” Who else caught that verse from “My Name Is”? They needed to listen to some of his other songs first to get it. I’m sure there’s a few more references I don’t know about. Not only did he quote himself in this song, but he did through the “fan” of the song, which is really just a conception in his mind (unless something like this actually happened with someone) telling it to him. Just another profound layer.
"But i didnt slit her throat, i just tied her up. See i aint like you, cuz if she suffocates she'll suffer more and then she'll die too" is also referring to 97 Bonnie and Clyde, in which he slits Kim's throat and then throws her in the car
It should be noted that the chorus/hook is from Dido's song "Thank You." "Thank You" is a very different song that what it sounds like in "Stan." Very different meaning. Very different tone. Dido is the actress in this video playing the wife of "Stan." And "Stan" is played by a Devon Sawa. Sawa, who still acts, was basically a teen heart-throb in the 90's. He became pretty well known for his role in "Casper" (just about every female between the ages of 35-45 today at one point wanted to "keep" him). He was in a ton of other films. Probably most well known for the Final Destination films. And yes, this is where the term "stan" comes from. The entire song is a reference to previous Emimen songs. It is impossible to explain just how massive this song/video was when it came out. The song and video were very influential and controversial. And that doesn't even touch on the craziness of Eminem and Elton John performing this song together later on.
I love the fact that your willing to be open with your kids about the darker side of music and life cause honestly this is a dark and deep song and I love how you sit down with them and show it to them and explain a bit as it goes while also letting them come up with their own conclusion. Alot of people think being a parent is about teaching only but we as parents learn just as much from our kids as we give to them when we teach. Not to mention too many people bubble wrap their kids from the world only to set them up for failure when reality hits them in the face. From one father to another I got a lot of respect for you for that. Keep up the good work man love the content
@@FourJaysFour Totally agree! Makes me consider my actions as a mother of a teen son, and make sure that I’m giving him “mostly” unbiased facts, but allowing him to decide how he feels about things and back off. The best teachers don’t teach you information, they teach you how to think. He’s doing great at that and I’m totally here for it 😊
Eminem followed up this classic with “bad guy” on his “Marshall Mathers LP2” album in the perspective of the younger brother you guys should definitely do that next if you haven’t already.
This vid wouldn't be able to stay on youtube without any pauses. Keep that in mind. Besides, everything he said was true, a guy named Matthew REALLY DID break into Em's house. #emforpresident!

Just watching a father and his two kids bobbing their heads and feeling a song in unison, enjoying each other's company, learning about the themes within this piece of musical art got me feeling emotional. Sending love to you three!
... I've been watching this video so many times since my early teens (31 now)... I never noticed that was him O_o Probably cause I didn't see the movies he's in until later, so when I re-watched Stan and thought he looked familiar, I figured it was just recognizion from when I used to watch it on MTV as a teen.
He probably didn't actually start using it as a verb himself, but the term exists because of this song, so in a sense, he did. I was about 10 when this song came out, my parents would listen to Eminem back then and I'd listen too, so I became a fan pretty quickly, but it wasn't until I was older that I finally actually understood what I was listening to. Also, Matthew was played by Em's baby brother Nathan, and he's a rapper too.
Ur parents let u listen to Eminem at age 10!!?? Jesus Christ I had to hide listening to rap music in general even when i was 18. 8 mile came out when I was 18. And do kids not listen to older generations music? I grew up in the 90s listening to my parents music from the 50s,60s and 70s.
@@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica8 I also listened to 60's, 70's and 80's rock, along with rap and whatever else was on the radio. I grew up with a huge range of music genres so I appreciate at least a bit of all of them. They didn't just let me listen to rap, we all listened to it in the car. I turned 12 the year 8 Mile came out and I watched it with them. I also saw the south park movie in theaters, I watched monster movies, horror movies, and we watched the south park show, futurama, family guy, there wasn't much I couldn't see.
@@theangelface999 man I wasnt even allowed 2 watch PG 13 movies til I was actually 13. My mom forced me 2 almost exclusively watch sesame st & Mr rogers til I was like 8. I remember I was 10ish and I liked rugrats but my mom didnt want me 2 watch it cuz she said angelika was a bad influence. I thought rap was like devil music til I was 13ish lol. So sheltered. Now I study all kinds of music from all decades and I love it. Getting old feels so surreal. I closed my eyes 4 a min and I went from a 25 yr old who partied daily 2 a 36 yr old, 25 lbs heavier, who gets sick from 2 beers and cant believe the 90s was over 20 yrs ago. That's me in the center of my profile pic and its only a 7 yr old photo. How did I go from that 2 some1 who talks about how cheap gas prices were in 2000 and has trouble standing up from a crouched position!?
@@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica8 - Wow, sounds like my cousins. My aunt wouldn't let them watch Harry Potter or anything really that wasn't drawn or a kid's show until they were 12 or something. My mother however had me watching Nightmare on Elm Street, Fatal Attraction and movies like that when I was in the single-digit ages (she didn't just let me. She HAD me watch them). Never rode my little scooter so fast in my life, as after I'd watched Nightmare on Elm Street and had to go to badminton practice after dark, lol. A middle thing between the two extremes would probably be the appropriate thing :P
@@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica8 I was 21 when 8 Mile came out. My parents had me when they were 16 years old in London. I was never told I wasn't old enough to watch anything or listen to anything. My Dad's mother was 15 when she had him, I don't think she ever told him he wasn't old enough for something either, so that might not be a good thing. My kids at 16 and 14 years old now and I put some limits on them. No porn or extreme violence, I don't think kids have any business watching that sort of thing. I think my parents could have put a few more restrictions on their girls. I see it as a kindness to my kids. My kids have heard music from a lot of generations. My daughter plays bass, drums, double bass, flute and she's started learning guitar (she attends an art school with a good music program). She's a huge music fan and listens to a lot of genre's.
This song started “Stan” being A STAN of Eminem Dido is the woman in the video and the woman singing too, the sample is from a song called “Thank You” The guy is an extreme Stan The guy who plays Stan is Devon Sawa who is Casper and in Idle Hands. Watch those two movies right there. Maybe Final Destination 1 You blew my mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯 with the Matthew thing
@@cheesedust-n3w nah if he didn't point out certain stuff it would've went over their heads on first viewing, I enjoyed seeing his passion too tbh 🤷♂️

I was just saying that since MGK is a Stan, maybe he is the original Stans little bro, Matthew.
Eminem started Stan... meaning “stalker fan”
Obsessed person...
Indeed but the fun thing is that his name is Stanley. And how can it be that he says that he is M's biggest fan but also that his little brother is a bigger fan? 😁😁😁
@@giovannigio3764 that's just being a big brother.
I feel dumb for not putting that together myself 🤣🤣🤣
It's what the term "fanatic" really means.
When I first heard this as a kid and Eminem said “He’s name was...it was you..damn..” that shit gave me chills
Still to this day and I'm 23
His
Same, altho I was almost 20 when this came out lol
Just thought of this lyric randomly the other day and then this pops up in suggestion lol.
Stans reflection in the window at that point !!! Have a look
You can tell how much this song hit them at the end. They were speechless, this proves that Eminem is a genius storyteller and rapper.
i kinda like how the dad said he'll shut up and let the kids do their thing, but ends up pausing the song repeatedly to comment. when you like a song so much that it becomes impossible for you to not talk about it.
He tried lol
These kids nowadays have literally no idea how freaking big eminem was when the Marshall Mathers LP came out. I know he is still one of the biggest but back then EVERYBODY knew him. EVERYBODY
Stefan Roos I first heard Eminem on an alternative radio station..My Name Is.. before he really broke and went mainstream, bought the album. He was just so funny, and his lyrics were genius. I always tease my kids that I was listening to Eminem while they were putting Spice Girls posters on the wall, just to remind them who’s cool 😎
My white upperclass German parents know who Eminem is
Dude I am not a fan of rap at all and I know a considerable amount of Eminem. Not able to sing it but I know it.
Im from Greenland and i know Eminem
I will always remember my buddy was big on Eminem. When The Eminem Show was being hyped my buddy got a leaked version of Without Me. This was when burning CDs was a thing and he burned that song for all our group. I was in 8th grade listening to that song on repeat.
Me: "She's never heard it? I can't be THAT old! *Checks the song's release date.... 20 years ago* Dammit, I *am* that old :( "
The fact he had to tell his kids that Eminem used to be blonde makes me feel so fuckin old lol
tbh i'm suprised they never heard it. i'm younger than they are and nonetheless i've known this song for years, just as many other of eminems songs
Was it really 20 years ago??? Damn!!!!
Well to be fair when I was her age I couldn't remember any Elvis Presley song's from the 60s
Elvis is great like feminems first album
It's been over a decade and I still remember how chilling it was the first time I saw it. It's one of the most memorable vids from that era.
Damn, I'm getting old.. I forget that this song was released 20 years ago and is technically a "classic". To me, it feels like it just came out yesterday.
Right, I feel you bro 🤘😂
The song was "technically a classic" 10 years ago lmao.
I feel exactly the same
Damn I'm old😂😂😂🤣
Pretty soon they'll be calling Eminem's music, "Vintage Eminem". If that doesn't make you feel old, i don't know what will. Classic music can be roughly a decade, but vintage is more of a generational gap, twenty plus years... It's about that time where you might just here vintage when Eminem is brought up in a conversation. Scary thought...
The actor playing Stan is Devon Sawa. Known for his roles in Little Giants, Casper, Idle Hands, and Final Destination.
Loved him in Idle Hands and Final destination!

This part always gives me chills. I personally think this is one of his best songs
Agree
I personally think this is his best song. Its the favorite of many. It created a word in the dictionary. Its a short movie. Its got 4 verses instead of the traditional 3. Dido on the hook was just perfect. I'm not even a big fan of his but this song is probably the greatest hip hop song ever made. Definitely the most creative.
@@deucedeuce3708IDK if greatest hip hop song ever but definitely the best of his, everything about it to the music video and the collab were on point.
That line in the verse goes hard, and the anger and passion he puts behind it is perfect. This will always be one of my favorite lines.
At least it's Top 5 Eminem songs and Top 25 Hiphop songs of all time, in my opinion.
About the whole Matthew ordeal, Matthew's story is extended in Em's song "Bad Guy."
[SPOILER ALERT]
So, in the song, Matthew goes along to hate Eminem. He hates him because he thinks that it was Em who killed his brother, and he wants revenge. So, the story goes that Matthew breaks into Em's house, kidnaps him, places him in his trunk, drives off, and throws his car off a bridge as a form of revenge.
I am now convinced em is Illuminati.
“That ain’t what a fan would do!”
Lol, but a “Stan” might
Ik I might😅
......the horrible correlation and connection to these tracks (Stan and Bad Guy), this last year in the midst of the Coronavirus going on, a fan of his snuck past Em's security, broke into his house, and Em was the first one to find him, no one was hurt or anything, but the fact that part of Bad Guy actually now has happened in real life basically, is scary and gives the song an extra eerie edge, along with this one. This song was of course written after Em received many fan mails.
Lol I love bad guy lol billie(lol psych Matthew Mitchel Bitch I even have your initials)
I think a fan would do something like that I just think it is a particularly type of fan that is obsessed and act irrationally about someone they have never met before. That has just to happen to be in the public eye and fames.
Look at the girl from the voice. The fan shot her and killed her to always be with her. This shit does happen in real life.
"26-year-old Matthew David Hughes broke into Marshall Mathers’ Detroit home last month only to be confronted by the rapper himself, and is now being held on a $50,000 (£40k) bond at Macomb County jail in Michigan."
Music video released on November 21, 2000.
The lyric "You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old"
This is freaking mind blowing!!!
Also did not know until today that Matthew in the video was played by Em's younger brother Nathan.
Well, this song is based on a true story. I actually REMEMBER that particular incident from back then and when this song was released, this could be true.
@@stephsays-503 not sure Em would have used the real names. But I have heard that Stan was based on a true story years ago. It would be crazy if the guy who broke in was connected to the true story.
This Is Fake. Look At The Birthdate And Todays Date. The Kid In The Video Would’ve Been 25. Almost Scary Tho Lol
@@despair4047 what birthdate? If the song came out in 2000 and the lyric "my brother Matthew is 6 years old" 6+20 is 26.
littleboo2002 I’m Honestly High Asf, I Can’t Do Math Lol
Stan's wife is Dido. She is the "hook" singer. It's a real song.
I think that song or album went 5 times platinum. Dido was huge
denise jackson don’t act like no one knows *Dido*
Dido was huge for people our age. Kids today wouldn't know.

@@Luuiiii what's that I don't listen to trash
Urban dictionary - A crazed and or obsessed fan. The term comes from the song Stan by eminem. The term Stan is used to describe a fan who goes to great lengths to obsess over a celebrity.
Also
"stan" is a portmanteau of the words "stalker" and "fan," and refers to someone who is overly obsessed with a celebrity.
Wari Wahab it’s also in the Webster Dictionary now. Thanks to EMINEM.
Is this a fact?
carlos cabrera yes
Yes it is true. Stan also means retards who will drop to knees and swallow his load. Double meaning.
T&K Xo that’s not true, I did my research.
The Actor's name is Devon Sawa. He was a child actor and teen idol in the 90's and started in Little Giants, Casper, Idle Hands, and Final Destination. He's a pretty damn good actor.
What!?! I thought the actor was Jeremy Renner :O
Yes, and Wild America! Haha he was up there with Jonathan Taylor Thomas back in the day with my teen crushes lol
And the best unknown movie ever: SLC Punk
Yeah it's Devon Sawa. Whatever happened him, he was a fantastic actor
His Twitter is 🔥 too
“I’m gonna try to shut up and let them do their thing”, doesn’t shut up or let them do their thing.
Love the vids
he’s a good dude though
One of the most brilliant songs ever written. A masterpiece.
Pull up Dido’s “Thank You”. It is the song than Eminem sampled for Stan. Dido is also “Stan’s girlfriend” in the video. She is a beautiful singer. You will be blown away by her music stylings, too.
😲I did not know!
I actually started listening to her after this song came out. Amazing singer. Thank you, Mr. Mathers.
Hot damn. Remember watching this on MTV knowing this was groundbreaking and the fact we are talking about it 20 years later proves it.
Eminem did start the word “Stan” with this song.
Is Stan not a name? A name that has been around for hundreds of years?
@@echristoff5710 no shit, he saying em invented the use of the word as a description of a fan who is obsessed with a musician/person.
The person’s name is Stan. That name has been around for ages. I didn’t realize Eminem used it as a word to describe a stalker.

The absolute stunned, speechless faces of the kids at the end was priceless. You can't fake that reaction to this video. Em is TRULY one of the Gods of story telling in rhyme.
Yes he invented the word...one thing about Em nobody really gets is his rhyme patterns,we all know he has bars and double entendres but he rhymes sentences,he rhymes paragraphs. He'll make every other word or every third word for example rhyme..and does syllable rhyming. He is technically the best rapper ever,on a technical stand point. I know not everyone rocks with him and that's cool,but his skill is second to none

I swear the breakdown you have is one of the most legit ones ! Your love for him really shows.
I'm not American but i really do hope Eminem got the respect he deserves from the black community out there too cause he has been so influential for the hip hop scene. The way he works around the pen nobody still can touch him
I think that the message you’re sending to you children is great, you seem like an amazing father. Your kids are going to go far with your guidance! Keep that energy up man
I second this. Parents like this make the world a beautiful place.
I'm surprised they didn't notice Stan's reflection in the bus window right at the end looking at Em every time the lightning flashed
Whaaaaat I have never noticed that and I've known this video and song for 20 years 😂😂😂😂😂
I didn’t know that either wtf
WHAT THE FUCK HOW COME I NEVER NOTICED THAT?!!
I remember I noticed that one night because I paused at the perfect time. When I looked up ans saw that, it scared the shit out of me
Wow! I’m just now seeing this. Been watching for 20 years.
This is one of the greatest songs ever. No one else can write a song like this. Em the GOAT. Proud to be a Stan.
2Pac is better
BIG TREY 2pac is dead, maybe.
@@MoistTowelette125 what does that have to do with Em being better. 2Pac's done more in music than Em will EVER do. not to mention movies also. btw there's no maybe Pac's alive no he's dead don't try that shit. Pac is the greatest so get over it
BIG TREY I actually hate most rap and hip hop, so I can’t say much. It just doesn’t sound good, to me. Eminem is one of the exceptions. 2pac being dead does matter, tho, because Eminem can still accomplish great feats, where as 2pac cannot.
BIG TREY yes 2Pac did a lot for rap but in a whole if you say pac is better then eminem I disagree the beauty of rap is everyone feels different I understand feeling 2Pac is the better rapper but him being dead does add a bit of bias. Overall success I say em is better and he was catchy to the entire country. Biggie was the same in the sense that his music appealed to the entire country I am a Cali native and I assume you may be from the west coast if so you know west coast style music was harder to like because it’s so fit to the west period. I do feel tho that pac is overlooked a lot definitely a solid #3 in my top 10 list
14 years girls:- Belli Eilish songs are so sad
Anyone who has a brain:- have you ever listen to Stan
Both are equally as sad in different prospective. Suicidal teenage girls could relate a lot more to a song from a teenage girl (who turned 18 just last year? Or 2019) rather than a man who does indeed rap facts but hits a sort of mood thats more frustrated and accepting rather than depressed and controlled you feel? It's okay if you don't understand and I get where you're coming from but it's not just about the topic, it's the genre, the mood it all contributes to a song and some teenage girls just resonate more with Billie. Although as a 13 year old teenage girl Eminem would be infact more heart-felt and realistic to me than a Billie eillish song.
@@Leo-rd6ly Stan is literally a story where a guy kills himself and his pregnant wife no disrespect to billie but Stan is definitely more sad
@avfn ye but lots of people still relate to the story Stan... expecially the abuse part in the story where Stan beats up dido a lot maybe not as much driving of the bridge but there still a lot of relatable things in this story that can cause a lot of mental problems so while billie eillish fans suffer from depression and anxiety, where as kids who witness or feel abuse will be scarred for life suffer from depression and will be shy and timid wherever they goes, and as well the mother that will go through the abuse will suffer bad injuries, depression, anxiety, she will be paranoid to find a new bf and worst of all she’s probably gonna have to raise her kid by herself because she’s going to move out of the abusive farthers house or even worse have to give up her kid and put them up for adoption so there safe while the mum still gets beat up
Btw my comment wasn’t meant to offended anyone I’m just saying that’s fax
The worst part is that they call themselves “Stans” when they don’t even realize the fucked up meaning behind it. I think fandoms in general would be a lot better altogether if everyone heard this.
I never noticed "Stan"s reflection on the window when the lightning strikes. Like he's still a stalker fan as a ghost. SSOOO creepy.
Holy fuck just noticed that too thats insane
🤯🤯🤯
That is the actor who plays "Casper (The Ghost)" in the the 1995 movie also.
Girl you just gave me chills
Oh shit
"Im gonna shut up and let them do their thing"
Proceeds to talk constantly and the kids barely say anything
I was looking for the one who made this comment LOL I liked his comments but really wanted to hear their opinions at the pauses not his
😂😂
this fam might be the slowest fuckin fam ever🙄
He can't help himself :D
Your daughter's face is how I imagine everyone hearing Em for the first time. YOUR face is that of the Eminem fan who's trying to turn them onto his music. Lolol. Good stuff.
What a beautiful family! The looks on their faces at the end when there's just nothing left to say pretty much sums up the entire experience of this song for me.
Yup❣️
You should get an award just for explaining this to your kids and passing on some of the roots of hiphop as it made the way for young rappers today. An example I intend to follow in the near future.
“The dude don’t write songs he writes movies” hit hard.
One of the darkest most beautiful deep songs ever written.
Props to you for showing them this one! A true masterpiece right here.
Fun fact the singer Dido of the original song called Thank You" is singing the hook and was in the music video
No shit, I remember when this and the original song of Dido's were brand new...just like it was yesterday!
Thank you is a classic
He heard her singing in the adjacent studio and asked her to be in it
Fun fact: Dido named her son, Stanley.
@Joe S Yr adopted aren't you?
"Stan" was just a name for the character and now it's a real word.
Did you see the ghost of Stan on the window at the last part of the song when he said "it was you"
whoa. 10 years I'm a fan of this song, I can sing the song, and I just saw that now from your comment lol thx
i literally just wrote a comment saying exactly this. Its such an over-looked piece of artwork which I kinda wish Eminem had done a song where its about Stanley coming back after he faked his own death, so this would symbolise him being physically outside the window of the coach.

"Stan" the song was based on a true story that sadly happened and also a way of saying his fans are to atractive to him and need to calm down so this would never happen again as em states"i didnt mean for this to happen the fans are to fucking in to me to die if i dont reply in time damn"later on after 5 days the interview was tooken off of any social media
Everything about this song is a genius. That sample is haunting. And the lyrics too. And the way it address violence and obsession
Nobody ever mentions stans face in the window at the end
It's mentioned many times in these comments
Its crazy to think younger people haven't heard/ know the significance of Stan. Don't get me wrong, it was before their time so I definitely understand. This was awesome to see you showing this to your kids, everyone killed it bro. Its wild to think that sometime in the future ill be explaining Eminem and this song to my kids saying the same sort of things "oh yea... so Eminem was blonde back then lol"
hes not gay, he is just an obsessed fan , that has problems
He literally said “we should be together” sounds like he’s gay to me. & I’m a lesbian, lol. So there’s no issue with it but he definitely is at the very least gay for Eminem
Jada Forsee this level of obsession can happen without sexual inclination.
Mekel Reen there’s more to a relationship than just sex. Like i said, he’s at the very least gay for Eminem. He would be with him; another man; therefore making him at least gay for Eminem. Sexual inclination or not.
Jada Forsee he didn’t make it clear he meant it sexually and often such obsessed people think of very disturbed forms of being with with someone and closeness that don’t involve sex.
Mekel Reen the sex aspect or NOT, he’s still saying he wants to be BE with him.. I’m confused why people are acting like the only thing to being gay or being in a relationship is sex
I’m 26 years old and I Grew up on classic Eminem. This song hits so different. The intensity level is through the roof!! All my 90’s early 2000’s babies, please stand up please stand up
React to bad guy by Eminem in it the little brother broke into his house there is no music video tho
yeah matthew already visited em in 2012 in this song
and then in real life too

They never heard Stan, I'm only 29 and damn does that make me feel old.
Have you ever heard of people having different tastes in music lol...You know that’s a thing right. There is probably someone of every age who does and don’t know this song and a bunch of other songs by other artists.😂

@@StunnaGunna I KNOW!!! That was what everyone talked about when it came out lol
but they totally got the message, it was cool
“I just drank a 5th of vodka, dare me to drive.”
Who else caught that verse from “My Name Is”?
They needed to listen to some of his other songs first to get it. I’m sure there’s a few more references I don’t know about.
Not only did he quote himself in this song, but he did through the “fan” of the song, which is really just a conception in his mind (unless something like this actually happened with someone) telling it to him. Just another profound layer.
If I have a daughter guess what Imma call her
I'll name her Bonnie
Referring to 97 Bonnie and Clyde
"But i didnt slit her throat, i just tied her up. See i aint like you, cuz if she suffocates she'll suffer more and then she'll die too" is also referring to 97 Bonnie and Clyde, in which he slits Kim's throat and then throws her in the car
What's interesting is that Stan references this song, in the first few lines of the song. This song is like a letter to all of his obsessive fans
Jeeze! Can't believe this song is 20 years old! Eminem is a lyrical genius! For me, this is him at his best! Stay safe guys ✌️
Love Eminem. And I love this reaction video. And yes, "Eminem doesn't write songs, he writes movies." You got that right. Dude is a genius.
I was in high school when this song came out and dudes was really this obsessed with Eminem. Blond hair and everything.
It should be noted that the chorus/hook is from Dido's song "Thank You." "Thank You" is a very different song that what it sounds like in "Stan." Very different meaning. Very different tone. Dido is the actress in this video playing the wife of "Stan." And "Stan" is played by a Devon Sawa. Sawa, who still acts, was basically a teen heart-throb in the 90's. He became pretty well known for his role in "Casper" (just about every female between the ages of 35-45 today at one point wanted to "keep" him). He was in a ton of other films. Probably most well known for the Final Destination films.
And yes, this is where the term "stan" comes from. The entire song is a reference to previous Emimen songs. It is impossible to explain just how massive this song/video was when it came out. The song and video were very influential and controversial. And that doesn't even touch on the craziness of Eminem and Elton John performing this song together later on.
You have a beautiful family my friend. Great vid, stay blessed.
I love the fact that your willing to be open with your kids about the darker side of music and life cause honestly this is a dark and deep song and I love how you sit down with them and show it to them and explain a bit as it goes while also letting them come up with their own conclusion.

... I've been watching this video so many times since my early teens (31 now)... I never noticed that was him O_o Probably cause I didn't see the movies he's in until later, so when I re-watched Stan and thought he looked familiar, I figured it was just recognizion from when I used to watch it on MTV as a teen.
He was in "Idle hands" I used to love that film.

@@MrKit19832009 Jessica Alba though....
He probably didn't actually start using it as a verb himself, but the term exists because of this song, so in a sense, he did. I was about 10 when this song came out, my parents would listen to Eminem back then and I'd listen too, so I became a fan pretty quickly, but it wasn't until I was older that I finally actually understood what I was listening to. Also, Matthew was played by Em's baby brother Nathan, and he's a rapper too.
Ur parents let u listen to Eminem at age 10!!?? Jesus Christ I had to hide listening to rap music in general even when i was 18. 8 mile came out when I was 18. And do kids not listen to older generations music? I grew up in the 90s listening to my parents music from the 50s,60s and 70s.

Now I study all kinds of music from all decades and I love it. Getting old feels so surreal. I closed my eyes 4 a min and I went from a 25 yr old who partied daily 2 a 36 yr old, 25 lbs heavier, who gets sick from 2 beers and cant believe the 90s was over 20 yrs ago. That's me in the center of my profile pic and its only a 7 yr old photo. How did I go from that 2 some1 who talks about how cheap gas prices were in 2000 and has trouble standing up from a crouched position!?
@@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica8 - Wow, sounds like my cousins. My aunt wouldn't let them watch Harry Potter or anything really that wasn't drawn or a kid's show until they were 12 or something. My mother however had me watching Nightmare on Elm Street, Fatal Attraction and movies like that when I was in the single-digit ages (she didn't just let me. She HAD me watch them). Never rode my little scooter so fast in my life, as after I'd watched Nightmare on Elm Street and had to go to badminton practice after dark, lol. A middle thing between the two extremes would probably be the appropriate thing :P
@@bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica8 I was 21 when 8 Mile came out. My parents had me when they were 16 years old in London. I was never told I wasn't old enough to watch anything or listen to anything. My Dad's mother was 15 when she had him, I don't think she ever told him he wasn't old enough for something either, so that might not be a good thing.
My kids at 16 and 14 years old now and I put some limits on them. No porn or extreme violence, I don't think kids have any business watching that sort of thing. I think my parents could have put a few more restrictions on their girls. I see it as a kindness to my kids.
My kids have heard music from a lot of generations. My daughter plays bass, drums, double bass, flute and she's started learning guitar (she attends an art school with a good music program). She's a huge music fan and listens to a lot of genre's.
One of the BEST/ POSITIVE/ GENUINE video REACTIONS I have seen in a LONG time! !!! Slim is 1 GIFTED ARTIST !
The actor is Devon Sawa, he was discovered first in Casper, when he played human casper in the movie. Later he played in Final Destination.
He was in Wild America and Idle Hands too, used to watch those all the time when I was kid. I like his appearance in SLC Punk as well.
This song started “Stan” being A STAN of Eminem
Dido is the woman in the video and the woman singing too, the sample is from a song called “Thank You”
The guy is an extreme Stan
The guy who plays Stan is Devon Sawa who is Casper and in Idle Hands. Watch those two movies right there. Maybe Final Destination 1
You blew my mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯 with the Matthew thing
Stan is a combination of STalker & fAN...he did invent it but that's where it came from...
You killed the whole point of your kids reacting.
I know he was excited and all but it was annoying to have him constantly pause and interrupt. Let the kids experience it fully man.
@@cheesedust-n3w nah if he didn't point out certain stuff it would've went over their heads on first viewing, I enjoyed seeing his passion too tbh 🤷♂️
true, the pausing was a bit annoying with him trying to explain cause they didn’t really get to react to it at all.
agreed. This isn't really a true reaction video.
Pretty much!
The slowed version of just the beginning is a massive vibe 🎧🌧
Bro I swear it is
Love the genuine love you and your children share! It shows and melts my heart. Also, the song is great, glad they appreciated it!
Shots 🥃🥃. Lmfao, great reaction guys! And yes Em made the word Stan. It is actually an official word in the dictionary now and Em is credited 4 the addition of the word.
"Did Eminem invent the phrase Stan?" .... you're looking at the origin...
