@Ben Morrison That is true. In song form, Nas was the first to use "stan" to describe someone else, as we do in common usage. It's definitely more because of the widespread use, regardless of the fact it comes from the Eminem song.
@@ceoballs2535Even if that’s the case we are talking about the song and not him, let’s say he was mid, this song is still a masterpiece. Your statement means nothing.
Not enough people notice that Eminem flipped the meaning of Dido's chorus. It went from a love perspective "put your picture on my wall and it reminds me that it's not so bad" and flipped it into a fan perspective of the same line. The whole chorus fits perfectly into what Stan was writing about.
Fun fact. Lupe fiasco teaches a class at MIT on rap theory and Stan is the song he uses for the story telling example and explains why it’s the most perfect song ever written
The way Eminem is able to manipulate his voice to flow any words he's feeling together is the most beautiful part of his talent. This song is a masterpiece. A genuine piece of art.
I remember growing up I was convinced that the first 3 verses were legit delivered by someone else. It never registered to me that it's Eminem playing both characters. Some of the best storytelling in music right here
It'd be really cool to see a video of Kevin listing off his favourite albums that you guys have listened to together since you started doing these videos.
I vividly remember bringing this CD home the day it released almost 23 years ago, and listening through. The way Stan stood out from the rest of the tracks was something truly amazing. Glad I could see Kevin experience this for the first time all these years later. Thank you!
omg i'm so excited that you guys are doing this one. I'm not even a huge rap fan but my mum raised me with eminem songs constantly playing in the background! so many artists wish they could reach this level of storytelling.
Amazing reactions as always, im loving the content that is happening here, id love to see Passion Pain and Demon Slaying sometime though, I think your dad would go crazy!! Keep up the amazing work!
i loved the single song format. i know albums are your bread and butter and i never want you guys to stop those, but more singles could be a great way to dive in more on certain songs and give the fans more content. thanks for all you guys do
I love that I experienced his genuine reaction to this song. I remember the same feeling when I first watched the video. The chills. The emotion. The mindblown-ness.🤯
Gotta be one of the best Eminem (and rap in general) songs ever. For people that like Stan but haven’t found other Em songs like it, I highly recommend “Bad Guy” and “Darkness”, both very good with deeper meanings
Yeah it's hard to argue against this song as the greatest in hip-hop's history. The concept, the storytelling, the lyricist, the sample... It's got it all in spades.
@@HiiipowerHabits I never said it was, said it's hard to argue against it. And no, I listen to a lot of artists, no doubt more than you do. But thanks for dropping by anyway ✌🏼.
@@HiiipowerHabits and this is why they're called "opinions". How so? Pray tell... "Confirmation" in particular intrigues me. Please tell me more about myself so I can humbly learn from your expert observations. Reality is you don't know me or the breadth of music I've listened to.
This is my favorite music reaction channel. Youre both very educated about music and the way you experience the songs and break them down is just great.
I remember the music video being hyped up on MTV before it came out and the song and video were, and still are, mind blowing. I'd love to watch a reaction to the music video with you guys too.
even when I was in elementary school when I first heard this I knew it was special and the older I got I continued to listen to it and love it more and more. One of my top songs ever. You guys hinted at it but doing music video reviews would be dope.
Snoop Dogg is bringing all of the Deathrow collection back to Spotify real soon! Would be great to get some reactions to classics like Snoop's debut, or some deeper cuts from the era!
I honestly think Kim deserves a solo video as well. If you wanted time and space for your dad to process Stan by itself, Kim definitely deserves the same treat. And I can't wait for the full album reaction!
Would of been great to see his reaction to the music video following him listening to it for the first time. This is a song I would love to listen to for the first time again.
I really hope that you guys will react to castle and arose from the album revival. Those two songs playing back to back always make me so emotional. The picture he paints with his pen and the emotions he can conjure up with his skill of storytelling is so vivid that it’s honestly insane. ❤️
I’m not sure if you’ve done the whole Marshall Mather’s 2 album but ‘bad guy’ is maybe worth an individual video as it’s a follow on from this, from the perspective of Matthew (Stan’s little brother). Excellent final verse in there too!
When I was like 4 years old I remember my mum playing this song. I remember I was scared of it and asked her what the scratching sound was. She told me the song was about this son who was being ‘naughty’ and liked to write and scratch on walls (I don’t remember exactly what she said as I was 4). When I listened to this song again years later for the first time (I think I was 13) I was shocked to find out what this song was really about. Fast forward 7 years later and this song is my favourite song of all time, but I wish I can remember the depth of what I felt when I was 4 when I first listened to it, because I find it fascinating that despite not being able to understand the lyrics at that time the song still brought fear.
Immortal Techniques Dance with the Devil would be such a suitable song for this type of format. Just as shocking, great story telling, a simply incredible song.
Dude I’ve been watching dad reacts with Connor for over a year and boy has my life changed but not my comfort RUclips content t. Keep the good tracks and albums/relevant and classic coming. I’m 35 so I’m in between both stances on the music and so appreciate dads opinions. I also am so close and get most of my music taste from him-we jam too. Y’all r entertaining and keep the good albums coming-I even paid for a patreon sub while he discovered Mac. I have so many fkn suggestions but u have to show him the Marshall mathers LP. I was 12 listening to that on my Walkman and I think he’s gotta hear the whole thing
I think your dad deserves to be introduced to Rick Ross...hustling was the song he burst onto the scene with and the interesting backstory of how ppl were mistaken him for the actually legendary "Freeway Rick Ross" who was a known street kingpin
Dance With The Devil by Immortal Technique is one of the greatest, yet horrifying story telling hip hop songs of all time. Would suit great for a 1 song reaction.
Hey I absolutely love this! If you guys would like another album that goes through a full story there's this really interesting album called the girl the cat and the tree by lausse the cat. Its a quick album only about 20 minutes but tells a cool story. Definitely recommend it to anyone who's a fan of this story telling type of hip-hop.
Damn if you guys are doing singles I would HIGHLY recommend Dance With The Devil by Immortal Technique. Man to see your Dads face at the end of that song would be priceless
'Dance with the devil' by Immortal Technique is another great storytelling track that I'd argue is even more perfectly made that deserves it's own video. His whole catalogue is great and worth going through but that track is a standout.

Stan comes from st-alker f-an. Eminem thought that through really well.
@@forreal88 He has never confirmed that. It's just a theory.

Zero chance someone’s a big Dido fan and has never heard Stan before.
Eminem's 'bad guy' is essentially a part 2 of this song. written from the perspective of Stan's little brother. It's also worth listening too

i’m so glad you guys did stan separately. it’s em’s best track imo. thank you guys 🙏
shouts out from kelowna lol ✌️
Classic song. One of Em's greatest for sure
You gotta show your dad “When I’m Gone” song & video. Some of my favorite Eminem tracks are these emotional ballads.
The first verse is on beat.
The second verse is a little off beat.
The third verse off beat.
Just goes to show how amazing Eminem is.

Ton of respect for the Relapse wax on the back wall. Such an underrated record in his discography (and his last great album).
I 98% agree but relapse still had spirit but for me it’s not “great”, but compared to the last like 10 years it’s great
I agree. Recovery had potential since it was consistent, but it was consistent with overall average and a little bit above average songs
Such a special song, great reaction as always, you guys rock

They do single song reactions regularly on their patreon.
I still get goosebumps to this day!
Absolute classic and the Dido feature fits perfectly, one of my favourite Em songs 👌
