Wait... What? How did I not know this. This was my Era of Em but they overplayed this song so much on the radio that it made me favour other Eminem songs, which has meant I haven't heard this song in YEARS. So thanks for this
It's amazing to think a whole generation that uses "stan" as a verb doesn't know it comes from the 'Stan' character in this absolutely life-changing mini-opera from Eminem.
Even the oxford dictionary added it to it. Eminem is a G.O.A.T. for real. And now you can find the word Stan in every single dictionary. Because of this song. Eminem like i said the G.O.A.T.!!!!
Also the actor who plays Stan was the main character who had the premonition in the very first Finale Destination! One of the best movies ever!!! Amazing concept
What makes this song so brilliant is how Eminem samples a sweet love song by Dido and twists it dark into a tale of obsession. He almost says, "every fan starts off innocently... and then sometimes, it all goes wrong." Dido herself is really fantastic, would love to see you react to her song Thank You (where the sample comes from) as well as Here With Me or White Flag.
I love this reaction. I just hate they blocked out parts of what Stan did. Because of that a lot people miss where he said that he put his pregnant girlfriend in the trunk of the car. So not only did he kill himself but his girlfriend and child also.
I remember when this song came out when I first heard it it absolutely blew me away… I’ve never even still though been the biggest Eminem fan there are some of his songs that I like but this one will always be my favorite cause it was the first time I never heard him and it’s just so powerful. It drew me in with Dido’s amazing voice & then his amazing storytelling. Brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻
Thats Devon Sawa from the Final Destination movies, and this song is where the term "Stan" comes from. Eminem often tells stories with his lyrics. You should listen to *I Need a Doctor* by Dr. Dre, Em and Skylar Grey if you haven't already. That song still makes me cry after all these years. You can feel Em's immense love and respect for Dre in that song.
YAAAASSSSS GIRL!! I agree! And I LOVE that Elton set the record straight. Cuz all the haters used to be sayin Eminem was anti but he ain’t. Elton joining speaks volumesssss
I can not believe how the censoring gutted the impact of this song. It's one of his best. I hope you guys listen to the real version because it's so powerful.
People dismiss Eminem for stupid reasons yet he's one clever man, able to create music with emotion, fire and heart in it. This song hit hard when it came out and still does now. Keep reacting gentlemen, there's a world of music out there to explore and you do it well.
I think ppl are hating on em cuz they know he can make gr8 songs like this even today but he chooses not to and makes below average songs for his standard. Kamikaze was good doh
YESSSS. @harper I’m with u 100! em is truly soooo talented. He knows so many words I feel like I gotta get a dictionary. And so fast. I don’t care what anyone says, that man is BEYONDDDDD GIFTED. He’s sooo good and def up there with the GOAT no question. No matter where he from, no matter his background, no matter what race or what color skin he has bro, the boy is a BOSS. and if he wasn’t, other kings like Dre wouldn’t waste their time with some busta 😂😎👍🏽 get it y’all!!! Love Dre and em man!
@@cozierferret7274 I meannnn, if I was him and knocked out a ton of smash hits for that many years, I’d be layin low too. 🤣 he gettin older u know? Plus not gonna lie tho. Every artist who made that many TOP albums for that long do the same thing. He not the only one, plus he been behind the scenes producing n stuff so it’s not like he quit the game after making some cash u kno lol plus who could blame him for not wanting to deal with the bs that comes with all the fame etc he done earned his money n chillin now. I cant blame him for that. 🤣 I wanna hit him up and ask him to let me borrow $5 man shiooo 🤣🤣🤣
I'm so glad you guys reacted to this! I'm glad you got to hear it! this has always been my favorite Em song..unfortunately they edited it so much it's hard to understand all he's saying unless you learn all the lyrics, and then you miss out some. But yeah he's seriously a genius
Yes by editing out the screams and the lyrical descriptions of the gf, it loses some impact in the video. It’s painful but it definitely elevated the song and crazy obsession Stan has.
Bad Guy aka Stan part 2 should be next. Voted best verse of the decade 🔥 With Eminem you need explicit versions of songs or you’ll miss the meaning bc entire verses are sometimes removed.
Just intense especially the third verse. Goosebumps. The way Eminem talks about someone cutting wrists, slitting throats and bouncing of the walls. They don’t write things that way anymore.
He is such a genius storyteller.I don't know a lot about rap/hip hop but I KNOW when Em is performing! Believe it or not,I like him better now that I am older.
This song just hits so hard. I love all genres and decades of music and I think because this song is so clever, the point of view and impactful, I would say it's one of the greatest songs ever written.
This is an amazing colab and such a great creative video. Did you notice when Eminem says "its was you " did you notice Stans face in the window looking in? Take a look. 😲 😱 😲
love y’all’s videos. next react to “bad guy.” it’s like the sequel to this song, but it’s coming from the pov of the little brother matthew who blames eminem for his death.
Crazy how unbelievably censored this is. I understand all the obvious bad words, but now hand picked content too. Soon enough you’ll only hear about 6 words and music lol. Listen to the album version fellas it’ll make more sense or at least the story will sound whole. Thanks for the reaction!👍🏽
You need to react something from the "Slim Shady LP" soon! 😃 My favorites from that album is currently "Just don't give a F☆☆K" and "Rock bottom". I really think you gonna mess with those two! ❤❤
Rabbit Run by Eminem is absolutely INSANE. Only just discovered hour channel a few days ago but I am absolutely hooked, you guys are a breath of fresh air!
You guys SHOULD HAVE listened/watched to the EXPLICIT version....you MISSED OUT...BIG TIME!!! The blonde chick in the video sang the female part her name is dido
Now....are we going to talk about how at the end when he was writing the letter the reflection of Stan's ghost was in the tour bus window?............Peace. ✌🏾
This is where the term “stan” comes from. I remember seeing this video when it came out. It was captivating, uneasy, and nuts.
Wait... What? How did I not know this.

You gotta watch the explicit version to hear the words to the song it makes it even more powerful!! One of his best songs!
Yes please watch the explicit one!
Also the actor who plays Stan was the main character who had the premonition in the very first Finale Destination! One of the best movies ever!!! Amazing concept
Yep the editing made it impossible to follow
Absolutely, came here to say the same!!
Exactly
...and that's where the term "stan" comes from that everyone uses now. "An extremely or excessively enthusiastic and devoted fan."
What a story teller, and Dido's singing is sublime.
Dido adds such a haunting element to the track!!
Dido is British. Em could not have picked a better partner for this song.
wtf you saying this is dido song

@@pascalfortin2374 exactly what I thought!
The "In The Air Tonight" ref was stone cold on point for you guys.
Made me laugh.

one of the greatest rap songs of all time.

This is how the term "stan" was created

Great song dealing with an obsessed fan and the consequences. Em is awesome!

Dido is fabulous but his live performance of this with Elton John at an awards show was pretty awesome too.
YAAAASSSSS GIRL!! I agree! And I LOVE that Elton set the record straight. Cuz all the haters used to be sayin Eminem was anti but he ain’t. Elton joining speaks volumesssss
This is the best song of of the 00s IMO! You should listen to the uncensored version to get the full story!
Yeah right you literally miss half through the cuts (although my head fills in the blanks 😂)
I loved that song by Dido, and this mix with Em is bomb
I can not believe how the censoring gutted the impact of this song. It's one of his best. I hope you guys listen to the real version because it's so powerful.
The actor’s name playing “Eminem” the crazed fan is Devon Sawa (I think).
Yup and he played Casper when he was a kid. Love Devon!
@@iChristyD yup thats where I know him from too lol

It’s deep lyrics-also at the very end if you notice the reflection in the window it’s not Eminem it’s actually Stan xxx
And now you know why obsessed fans are called Stans!
The unedited version would have been a lot better. The most important parts of the story were bleeped out…
I'm so glad you guys reacted to this! I'm glad you got to hear it! this has always been my favorite Em song..unfortunately they edited it so much it's hard to understand all he's saying unless you learn all the lyrics, and then you miss out some. But yeah he's seriously a genius
Yes by editing out the screams and the lyrical descriptions of the gf, it loses some impact in the video. It’s painful but it definitely elevated the song and crazy obsession Stan has.
Should do "Love the Way You Lie" by him and Rihanna
Also, DIdo's song came out around the same time, "Thank you", great video
Goes to show you how crazy people can get when they idolize celebrities and the sad consequences.
Love you guys & Love Em's video. Deep.
Another good Em song, The Way I Am, lyrics are so good.
Stan is what they call fans of artists because of this song. Em is a genius ex. Beehive, Navy, Barbs, Nippians etc
This takes me back to being in school! I can't believe this was 22 years ago, it's still so fresh
This man legit did 3 verses as Stan and an additional response verse as Eminem…
This song was one of the most brilliant, genius, mind blowing songs ever.
Bad Guy aka Stan part 2 should be next. Voted best verse of the decade 🔥
With Eminem you need explicit versions of songs or you’ll miss the meaning bc entire verses are sometimes removed.
True story… The guy that broke into Em’s house has the same name as Stan’s brother and they would have been the same age. Art imitating life
Dido is featured in the video because the song heavily samples the opening of her song "Thank You"
It's the fact that nobody ever noticed stan in the window when the thunder and lightning hit is crazy 🤣🤣
You guys need to listen to "Ring my Bell" by Anita Ward. It was one of the hottest disco dance songs of 1979. I KNOW you guys would dig it
P.O.D. “Youth of the Nation “with lyrics that song is deep and you will definitely like the vibe of that 💯
Such a good song, Eminem was all that for a hot second.
IMO This song established Em as one of the best storytellers in HipHop
Em is a great storyteller
Just intense especially the third verse. Goosebumps. The way Eminem talks about someone cutting wrists, slitting throats and bouncing of the walls. They don’t write things that way anymore.
He also did this song with Elton john
He's talented without a doubt ✌
KIM by Eminem is by far the craziest and scariest song you’ll hear by Eminem. I recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you know why people "stan" celebrities and creators
I totally forgot this song name drops Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight", harkens back to the early days of this channel!
He is such a genius storyteller.I don't know a lot about rap/hip hop but I KNOW when Em is performing! Believe it or not,I like him better now that I am older.
That’s a perfect song stroytelling,
cadences,music vid 10000/10
This song just hits so hard. I love all genres and decades of music and I think because this song is so clever, the point of view and impactful, I would say it's one of the greatest songs ever written.
The swearing being cut out ruins the song, the uncensored version is way better
One of my all time favorites by Em!
This is an amazing colab and such a great creative video. Did you notice when Eminem says "its was you " did you notice Stans face in the window looking in? Take a look.
😲 😱 😲
Em is a genius for sure! Official
Video Love The Way You Lie fea. Rihanna
love y’all’s videos. next react to “bad guy.” it’s like the sequel to this song, but it’s coming from the pov of the little brother matthew who blames eminem for his death.
Censored songs like this should be blocked. Imagine eating pizza without cheese and sauce....
Great reaction!! I just found a video of Sway doing an interview with Eminem and he wrote rap god in 6 minutes so crazy!! Love your channel 🥰🥰🥰
I love the intro. There are a lot classics including that guy who sings my favorite version of Ave Maria. These young men have really good taste! 🥰
Yay I'm SO glad you did this!!! Thank you!!!
Great video
This takes me back
Yall crazy for this one 👏🏽
Crazy how unbelievably censored this is. I understand all the obvious bad words, but now hand picked content too. Soon enough you’ll only hear about 6 words and music lol. Listen to the album version fellas it’ll make more sense or at least the story will sound whole. Thanks for the reaction!👍🏽
Thank u!!! Been asking all year for this!!! This was #1 on the video countdown for weeks... Live audiences were always silenced at the end....
I suggested this to you when you guys were first on RUclips, glad you enjoyed it
You need to react something from the "Slim Shady LP" soon! 😃 My favorites from that album is currently "Just don't give a F☆☆K" and "Rock bottom". I really think you gonna mess with those two! ❤❤
Rabbit Run by Eminem is absolutely INSANE. Only just discovered hour channel a few days ago but I am absolutely hooked, you guys are a breath of fresh air!
Hip hop has never reached this heights again
Ya NEED to do florence an the machine - you got the love
He always feared having a crazed fan bc no one would leave this man alone that's why he wrote this song.. big facts
This video was crazy but real. Yall need to do Slim Shady. I think it was his first single.
Bad Guy is the sequel to this. The last verse on that is some emotional shit. It's super dope
Eminem- Bad Guy
Perspective of Stan’s little brother
I was watching the halftime show with Dr Dre. It reminded me of a song called I Need A Doctor with Dr Dre featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey
Whoever was behind the original upload, they fucking gutted the song like a fish.
Eminem 🐐
In the future.. no censorship, it makes the song even better. Keep it up!
Pop fact... the original was called Thank You by Dido (which Eminem sampled for this tune), who is the girl in the video 😉👍
Thats right. The best shortest movie ever!!!! 😎
Every time goosbumps when i see Stan on the window next to Em.🙄
This song is still amazing!
You miss a lot with the censored version
Takes me back. What a story
Love the new place! Congratulations you two!!!
You guys SHOULD HAVE listened/watched to the EXPLICIT version....you MISSED OUT...BIG TIME!!! The blonde chick in the video sang the female part her name is dido
Need to check out part 2 " Bad Guy"
Stan is NOW in the dictionary meaning - a overly obsessed fan of a famous person. ✌🏿✌🏼✌🏽
it's scary that this actually happened
Em all time 🐐
Get alone and watch other version 💥
The origin of "stan" for obsessed fan.
Did you see Stan’s reflection on the window when the lightning struck at the end?
Fun fact you might have missed, Stan's face appears in the window next to em in the end.
The kid that played stan was in the final destination movies.
You guys gotta check out Eminem’s “My Darling” and “Darkness” for real
Finally!! Thank you!!!!
Don’t ever do the clean version. You missed so much of the song.
BAD GUY is part 2 of this
More Dido & Faithless too please!
Great concept, I always thought this was a brilliant use of dido’s song as the hook… so haunting.
Devon Sawa isn't dead. He's alive and well. Married with two children. Could you be thinking of Brad Renfro?
@@monalisasmile6629 I was thinking of Jonathan Brandis! Edited my comment cause I’m a dummy!
I feel like the censoring made you miss half of the song. Listen to the "dirty" version.
Now....are we going to talk about how at the end when he was writing the letter the reflection of Stan's ghost was in the tour bus window?............Peace. ✌🏾
I've seen this video so many times and I've never noticed it!! Thanks for that!!
