Mom's Spaghetti dance with the devil by immortal technique, bedtime story by slick rick, boys in the hood by easy e, brain damage by Eminem, ill mind of hopsin 5 by hopsin, there are amazing story tellers in hip hop.....the radio just doesn't play them
It’s not the only example... but it’s one of the best “examples” just like you said. It was (sorry.. is) a master piece and it’s hard to argue with that
- He says that in two different paragraphs, when he’s already changed entirely . He starts off being Slim‘s biggest Fan, but then, later, still no answer, He goes crazy. That is the whole point of the song, and it’s not a lack of care for the lyrics, it’s the exact opposite.
I think he indicates that his brother LIKES Eminem more, while Stan is his biggest fan in spite of Eminem's flaws that he's aware of. While his brother is still a little kid and only knows about Eminem's music, which he likes.
@@muzyshayk8006 i know what he mean but the girl sang while dido chorus was playing so can't say she was "killing it" more like singing a back to a playback lol.
Yeah gotta appreciate the live band, makes you appreciate the other stuff aside from the lyrics. Subtle bass is a hard thing to pick up if you arent a musician...I'm assuming you play an instrument
Eminem has to be one of the most talented rappers of all time in my opinion. His music is so unique. As a child I could never appreciate his music, but I found growing up it started meaning a lot.
He says himself that his old music is his biggest competitor. So saying it's 'better' or just very hard to reach those levels again. Bad Guy- Trying to recapture that lightning trapped in a bottle Twice, the magic that started It all, tragic portrait of an artist tortured trapped in his own drawings Tap into thoughts blacker and darker Than anything imaginable, here goes a wild stab in the dark, uh As we pick up where the last Mathers left off...
And Evil Twin as another example- sometimes I listen And revisit them old albums often as I can and skim through all them bitches To make sure I keep up with my competition (ha ha)
@The almighty to be fair though.NO artists music stays 100% quality forever. Besides I put 'chlorseptic: remix up there with his older stuff. He nailed that.
The fact that he made sure he said ever word clearly and made his point. The background music. It’s all beautifully created. Especially being live. Personally 2021. I appreciate this.
The delivery, the lyrics, the live band, the baseline, the emotions, dido’s part by the lady, the nostalgia that kicks in every time you hear this song again and again, the story behind it, the message, all the feelings mixed at once that’s something special to every Eminem’s song you gotta appreciate it not the shit rappers today.
Something about this song is so beautiful though, even though its really distrubing. I think its because Its Em telling the story. Its about a fan who is disturbed. I think the fact that Em has dedicated a song for him, shows that he recognises that a large part of his fan base probably does have issues. They relate to Eminem because he has had a difficult life too. By Em writing this song, its showing that even though he can't personally help all his fans, he recognises their struggles and has compassion for them. A less understanding celebrity, might try to distance himself from a fan who behaved in this way. And all though Em defintly isn't condoning this behaviour - hes still trying to help people through their struggles.
Renzo I know this is late, and respond if you see this, but she is killing it. Right now she has something like 3.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and she seems to still be making music. And tbh her voice is soothing, fitting and lyrically perfect for this song.
He's too skilled now. In the original Stan he sounded so hyped because that was the speed he needed to go. He's so good now he doesn't need to rush, he gets his words out so much clearer. He makes it sound easier than the original because he's so much better than he was then.
Sometimes the aftermath of emotion and the transition of ones soul can enlighten the biggest fans. Yeah the og has more emotion, but you can see that pain clear out, which is a delight in its own way. Shit sounds good both ways
HEY GUYS...i'm fan of EMINEM from INDONESIA. In the 2000's I memorized a lot of EMINEM songs and performed them with my band. Songs I memorized first: Forgot About Dre, The Way I am, Lose Your Self, I Love The Way You Lie... Anyway, if Eminem and all of you encounter difficult life problems, depression, want the heart to be calm, the EASY WAY, read "YA SAYYIDI YA RASULULLAH" 100 times every day. For those of you who have trouble sleeping, just reading it won't require any other medication, PROVE IT GUYS.
There's still music out there that means something.. u just have to look beyond mainstream now especially away from pop n hip hop. I've gone to rock n metal and found amazing bands n songs. Within rappers NF is growing big. Thats the only one in this time who doesn't cuss or use bad language but makes every song relatable and he stands out from the rest bcuz he does things that isn't something ppl do in hip hop. His music is cinematic sound with lot of symbolic visuals in music videos. While rappers like kendrick joyner logic J cole etc are all gr8 too but they don't stand out like NF.. bcuz they're within in that typical culture. They have their own flow n good hype songs n great with the pen too but they're just not as emotional connectable if that makes sense. Check out NF the outcast of hip hop if you haven't already
Shame that they didn't do the full song. It deserves the full build up and conclusion to do it justice. The live band really brings out a whole new aesthetic. Maybe if more hip hop had this kind of instrumentation, it would get more respect from people as a real art form.
As in bringing out a new color/feel to the song, that wasn't there before. The live bass in particular really opens up the musicality of this piece --- makes it feel alive. Authentic. (as opposed to the 'processed/digital' sound we're used to hearing). For a dark ballad like this, it's a perfect combination.
Nobody talk about how good Eminem was rapping perfectly because everyone know he's the Rap God and will be always be perfect. So let other artists shine.
I think the way they performed the music kinda changed the whole song, eminem's rap is amazingly good but the music is not like the real one . I expected the last part too
MagaranQT His life has changed since then, he isn't a robot, he performs the songs the way he is feeling now looking back at the time he wrote the song.. that's my theory to why it sounds very different when he raps.
This is incredible but sometimes musicians don't put as much effort into covering their old songs because they don't feel the emotions as strong as when they first wrote them. I feel this is the reason a lot of people think their favorite artists "change' as time goes on.
+FreakyKing2 that's true, like if eminem tried to sing cleanin' out my closet or any other song he wrote about mom he wouldn't sing it close as he used to he's got the respect now for mom he said it in headlights

I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka You dare me to drive? You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night" About that guy who could a saved that other guy from drowning But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him? That's kinda how this is, you could a rescued me from drowning Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it You ruined it now, 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 and you can't breathe without me See Slim, shut up bitch! I'm tryin' to talk! Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you 'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out? My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I Got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window And I can't see at all And even if I could it'll all be gray Put your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad It's not so bad Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she? Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that And here's an autograph for your brother I wrote it on the Starter cap I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must of missed you Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too? I say that shit just clownin' dog, come on, how fucked up is you? You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some And what's this shit about us meant to be together? That type of shit will make me not want us to meet each other I really think you and your girlfriend need each other Or maybe you just need to treat her better I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan I just don't want you to do some crazy shit I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to Come to think about, his name was, it was you Damn!
Wewillnever Forgetyou I've seen it, but he was doing playback, it was really clear. Anyways, I can understand he couldn't sing because he was feeling really sad. I guess from that date he didn't perform Mockingbird again.
This is how rap/hiphop should be played. With REAL INSTRUMENTS. Not those fucking computer shit of nowadays. THIS is music, not that shit you kids call rap nowadays. See how much more it gives it to the performance?
Wu Tang And that's totally ok man. The fact is that i'm talking about nowadays. Nowadays MOST (don't mean everyone, i said most) are just lazy and relies too much on computers and premade beats to write "songs". That's my issue. I love me some good old rap/hip hop. It hasn't to do anything with liking rock or any other genre. It's about MUSIC.
***** True. Tho in my book, real instruments played by people will always be better than a machine reproducing binaries. And in this performance of Stan, is undeniable.
hahahahhahahahahahahahha this video got me in a sad mood because ive been listening/writing to eminem for a long time and then i see this comment and i lost it, hahahahha
The only thing that annoys me is that the music sounds more happy as it should be, the original song is really a sad one. But always respects for Eminem!
It feels quite weird seeing Eminem rapping to this in 2013. I feel like Em's evolved way beyond Stan and it's almost like he's a different artist in this video compared to the artist he was back in 2000 when he released Stan.
Well well . This guy was a dope since he dropped his first song . 2ndly this man 46 and created a new record through GODZILLA. This new album is dope so don't you dare to say he was "kinda dope earlier or he evolved and he is more dope now" .
Stan gotta be one of the best examples of amazing storytelling in hip-hop The song is very long that it takes 6 years to recommend me on my youtube The song is very long that it takes 6 years to recommend me on my youtube
I from France this song have changed my life in my 12-13 years old, one of the first rapper i didnt know english lyrics and i know today , he is the best alive.
The details on how he composed his lyrics in most of his songs are so descriptive and expressive to the point that I as a listener could picture every verse as a scene in my head so clearly, like watching a movie.
Sometimes I think I'm really good at this stuff then I remember Eminem made "rhyme" the words "idol" and "I do". Just literally one of the best poets of all time!
I can't believe how beautiful this is. honestly. the music is bone-chilling, and he is flawless here with it. there is emotion in this that i haven’t seen before when he’s performed this song. it’s like stan is disappointed as opposed to angry. it’s like a new perspective and it’s really beautiful.
4 minute of my crying 😭 how faster time is gone. People, don’t think that everything is forward, it’s a big mistake. do the impossible now, achieve the impossible, otherwise why come into this world. Eminem is a shining example of a man of legend who has achieved everything.
I never thought this Live session would be so damn Good! The woman's voice perfectly fits to the chorus. The bass is so clear, feels like i am in a recording studio.
This song means the world to me. Heard it when I was going through some dark times. Not sure what kind of emotional impact this will have on me when Eminem comes to Cape Town to perform. His music resonates with me so deeply. Empowering to listen to it. Imagine when seeing it. x

The ability to sound exactly like the original studio version is legendary.
2013 RUclips: No
2019 RUclips: *tHe TiMe HaS cOmE*
same here LOL
2020 RUclips: late to the party I see
Leo Evans 2013 yes
2020 YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!
Right? Where the hell did this come from???!
2020
He's like the only rapper that sounds the same live, and in the studio.
You say this on a song where he sounds nothing like the studio version?
Uhmmmm... NF
He actually has a different tone to him in this. Seemed like a down environment tho.
Nothing like the studio version
As much as I like Eminem, most of the performances I've seen have been lip synced for a bunch of it. This wasn't
Goosebumps before he even opened his mouth!
Nobody talk about how good Eminem was rapping perfectly because everyone know he's the Rap God and will be always be perfect.
So let other artists shine.
Honestly who dislikes this?? one of the best performances he has done :)
***** ...
I think the way they performed the music kinda changed the whole song, eminem's rap is amazingly good but the music is not like the real one .
I expected the last part too
MagaranQT His life has changed since then, he isn't a robot, he performs the songs the way he is feeling now looking back at the time he wrote the song.. that's my theory to why it sounds very different when he raps.
Ramul but I was more amazed by the sound of the musicians, and the flawless flow of rapping in the song.
Someone who have no ears.
The best part is 0:00 to 3:59
@3:59 worst part

FACTS
Y
I don't know who has come up or comes up later Eminem remains the best rapper have ever lived
One of greatest chorus of all time
This is incredible but sometimes musicians don't put as much effort into covering their old songs because they don't feel the emotions as strong as when they first wrote them. I feel this is the reason a lot of people think their favorite artists "change' as time goes on.
I approve this
I feel you
truee
+FreakyKing2 that's true, like if eminem tried to sing cleanin' out my closet or any other song he wrote about mom he wouldn't sing it close as he used to
he's got the respect now for mom he said it in headlights
😢😢😢
This is so upset me when they cut the Dear Mister part.
Jake Fotograffix I don’t understand?
@@youcantseemeyoucantseeme6432 he didn't do the last verse of the song.
He didnt do the second to last verse
@musicalthinker it does make sense though
The part when stan put his girlfriend in trunk?
lyrics. have fun😈😈
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray
Put your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray
Put your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Slim, I wrote you but still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her?
I'ma name her Bonnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the shit you did with Rawkus too, that shit was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray
Put your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
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
We waited in the blistering cold for you
For four hours and you just said, "No."
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fuckin' idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I'd write you you would write back
See I'm just like you in a way
I never knew my father neither
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
'Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up, you gotta call me man
I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan
P.S. we should be together too
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

Dear Mister "I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans"
This will be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka
You dare me to drive?
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
About that guy who could a saved that other guy from drowning
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you could a rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, 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 and you can't breathe without me
See Slim, shut up bitch! I'm tryin' to talk!
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray
Put your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
And here's an autograph for your brother
I wrote it on the Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must of missed you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that shit just clownin' dog, come on, how fucked up is you?
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of shit will make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine
If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was, it was you
Damn!
Can’t believe I’m just hearing this. This has to be one of the best songs of my life time
Check out "open mic" from the album infinite. Also the song infinite from the same album. Em is honestly a monster
@@mrwhippy3756 thanks man ima check em out
Damn, now this is a live perfomance!
I love this song, totally a classic!
We want mockingbird live AND WHEN IM GONE mah dream.
agreed!
Everybody thinks that he probably would break down in tears in the middle of the song. I think that too.
Wewillnever Forgetyou I've seen it, but he was doing playback, it was really clear. Anyways, I can understand he couldn't sing because he was feeling really sad. I guess from that date he didn't perform Mockingbird again.
the last time he performed mockingbird was at rapture 2014 and you can hear he was about to breakdown and start crying
EpicDude LOLYOLO Oh, I didn't see that part, could you please send me the video link?
I like the fact that Eminem uses 2 different voices in the original song🇿🇼🇿🇼🔥
There isn’t another rapper alive that can do this. A track that amazes me every time I hear it.
This song still gives me goosebumps
Titty juice
♥️🤘
Absolute classic tune
Ooo mine too Macheala Gill !! One of his first hits this! Love it still today.. ;-)
Can we just appreciate how good the bass sounds with the whole band
Sounds perfect it gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it ,such a bad ass line
his flow is unbelievable
This is how rap/hiphop should be played. With REAL INSTRUMENTS. Not those fucking computer shit of nowadays. THIS is music, not that shit you kids call rap nowadays.
See how much more it gives it to the performance?
Your my man!
DAT bass and drums tone guys. no computer can replicate that.
They both sound good
Wu Tang
And that's totally ok man. The fact is that i'm talking about nowadays. Nowadays MOST (don't mean everyone, i said most) are just lazy and relies too much on computers and premade beats to write "songs". That's my issue.
I love me some good old rap/hip hop.
It hasn't to do anything with liking rock or any other genre. It's about MUSIC.
*****
True. Tho in my book, real instruments played by people will always be better than a machine reproducing binaries.
And in this performance of Stan, is undeniable.
Its so sad when we see Em perform alone without the sinergy Proof used to give him...as his right arm on everything.
+RoncaBaixo RIP Proof.
damn I was like happy before reading your comments but know I feel this blue / I probably don't know him personally but R.I.P Big Proof
Who cares.
Your grandad Just google how he died !
Koco THIS JUST IN: Being shot in a club is now racist.
2021...still listening..
man eminem's voice is so clean feels like im listening the non live version
11 years later i think he is better than he used at this song he kiiiiiiiled it
***** Shut Up ;) Get Information about the new album
***** LOL did you already listen the MMLP2? oO
+2FX2FX eminem killed m n' m*
i miss this voice (:
he sounds pretty angry in his songs now but i still respect him, just nice to hear this.
part of evolving
***** Nah man, he sings the way he likes to sing. Nothing about his voice. Listen to more than 2 songs new songs of him.
+Tiffany Mathers Lol, he also sounded angry before, especially in The Eminem Show. Sounding angry is a part of Eminem.
i agree with you
U serious
an artist like him cannot be compared to anyone because one sees the experience and the work done!!
The lady has a beautiful voice
thank you!
@@eileensantiago1023 is that you
I loved this performance it felt very personal. it's probably one of his best
I wish he would've finished this song
+Jazmin Zenteno trueeee
Stan is my favorite song by Eminem.
oh my god finally found a version without the pencil scratching. my life is complete
Anyone think Eminem should release this on an album? The bassline and the drums are to die for. What a song. LEGEND.
Watching this while taking a shit.
Casual
hahahahhahahahahahahahha this video got me in a sad mood because ive been listening/writing to eminem for a long time and then i see this comment and i lost it, hahahahha
Lmfao I was scrolling down the comments and I see this while I was taking a shit too :D
LoL
You speak the truth
Eminem is a freaking LEGEND.
i listen to this 10 times everynight while studying in my room. Thank you god for letting me live this time .
The only thing that annoys me is that the music sounds more happy as it should be, the original song is really a sad one. But always respects for Eminem!
It feels quite weird seeing Eminem rapping to this in 2013. I feel like Em's evolved way beyond Stan and it's almost like he's a different artist in this video compared to the artist he was back in 2000 when he released Stan.
His old tracks are his best work
@@lionezrsik I guess we can't avoid being nostalgic. I feel the same about almost all things from the 90's and early 2000's.
yeah I agree but he was trying to probably channel some of his old self at this time as seen with the haircut and the song to match
Well well . This guy was a dope since he dropped his first song .
2ndly this man 46 and created a new record through GODZILLA. This new album is dope so don't you dare to say he was "kinda dope earlier or he evolved and he is more dope now" .
@@ved4911 Nobody said that man. Read my comment again. You totally missed the point I tried to make.
Love it how cool Eminem performs live. Too cool.
eminem is such an amazing artist. Live perf is always on point. Props to all performers here. everyone's awesome
Stan gotta be one of the best examples of amazing storytelling in hip-hop
The song is very long that it takes 6 years to recommend me on my youtube

I from France this song have changed my life in my 12-13 years old, one of the first rapper i didnt know english lyrics and i know today , he is the best alive.
+arnaud Leseine salutations, je suis aussi de France :)
+Raven Lassiter Boum on est 3 Solidarite Francaise !^^
yep
Le meilleur de tous les temps c'est clair, et net.
Nous sommes des stan français
The details on how he composed his lyrics in most of his songs are so descriptive and expressive to the point that I as a listener could picture every verse as a scene in my head so clearly, like watching a movie.
The bass is dope, the lady is dope everything is dope.. 🔥🔥
Em sounds so fire with real drums and instruments crushing a beat. He should do a whole album like that sometime
i wanted the "dear mr i'm too good to call or write my fans..." part
He looks so damn young
Bruno Cisi
He probably takes care of himself. Too look that good at 40 something
blac dont cracc foo
@@peoplewillallsmile he ain't black foo
This song must be one of the greatest masterpieces ever. Just pure brilliance.
Sometimes I think I'm really good at this stuff then I remember Eminem made "rhyme" the words "idol" and "I do". Just literally one of the best poets of all time!
I can't believe how beautiful this is. honestly. the music is bone-chilling, and he is flawless here with it. there is emotion in this that i haven’t seen before when he’s performed this song. it’s like stan is disappointed as opposed to angry. it’s like a new perspective and it’s really beautiful.
The greatest rap song ever written
@Jason Borotra bruh, how do you know he did not listen other rappers?
That award goes to Uncommon Valour by RA the Rugged Man. He spits the greatest verse ever conceived by a mere mortal.
Platinum masterpiece of rap. Thanks, Marshall 🙏🏼
4 minute of my crying 😭 how faster time is gone. People, don’t think that everything is forward, it’s a big mistake. do the impossible now, achieve the impossible, otherwise why come into this world. Eminem is a shining example of a man of legend who has achieved everything.
Am i the only one who thinks that was one of the best song's of him?
Also that girl is so beautiful,wow
She's Dido isn't she
Tsetan Yt no
@@anshuuu9708 No
Simp
thank you!
This song is a masterpiece
A história dessa música é lendária, meu Deus, não vejo outro cantor passando essa emoção que ele passa pra essa música.
I never thought this Live session would be so damn Good! The woman's voice perfectly fits to the chorus. The bass is so clear, feels like i am in a recording studio.
The best version of "Stan" !!!
+molomix no Elton adds the special deep voice
No way. All 4 verses need to be heard in order for the song to be complete
This song means the world to me. Heard it when I was going through some dark times. Not sure what kind of emotional impact this will have on me when Eminem comes to Cape Town to perform. His music resonates with me so deeply. Empowering to listen to it. Imagine when seeing it. x
2:05 this was so exact perfectttt!!!
My favorite Eminem song. One of my top 10 songs of all time even.
He sounds great. He is so fucking passionate. the king
When he raps ANY SONG its incredible.
Just pure song without any autotune or shit, Dayum love you Em.
Just a masterpiece. Bring Back 2000’s please!!!!
