Fun fact. Eminem have always been accused of being homophobic and he was getting tired of it, so when he was asked to perform this at the Grammys in 2001 he said he would only do it if Elton John would so Didos part, which he did, to show the world he isn't homophobic. Em and Sir Elton are still friends and Elton was a big support to Em when he got sober.
@@suffireax yeah, it’s a great version of the track! Elton is Eminem’s AA/NA sponsor - Em has 14 or 15 years clean now, no alcohol or drugs of any kind! He calls him ‘uncle Elton’ !! Lol!!
Yes, it hasn't exactly happened with Stan, but Eminem represented something that happens in reality, tragedies like Christine Gimmie, the Bjork fan was one of the most terrible cases, and others that I can't remember now.
in 2020 a man broke into Eminems house claiming he was there to kill him, the guys name was Matthew, he was 26 years old. In stan the little brother was 6 years old and named Matthew, and it was 20 years since Stan came out. Pretty weird ngl lol
This is why when the word stan started to go around as a way to signify how much you liked an artist, I couldn't believe it. The word stan will always take me back to this song. I always thought that Eminem was cautioning everyone over idolization of celebrities
Not sure how accurate this is but I’ve heard that “Stan” is a short version of “Stalker Fan”. Btw I love your Eminem reactions! Hopefully you can do “When I’m Gone” next.
If I'm not mistaken, that was actually a meaning that was derived after the fact, presumably by people who didn't know the actual origin (being that it came from this song). I Googled quickly just to double check before posting this, but I can't find any reference to Eminem naming him Stan because of this. I think people just saw other people using the term, and assumed that it was short for that.
I heard this song for the first time when I was on a long walk with my dog. I started paying attention to the lyrics and went into the song with absolutely no expectation. However, the story Stan told was so absorbing that I completely forgot where I was. Seven minutes later I realized that I hadn't noticed anything about my surroundings the entire time and was now already in the forest. In my opinion Stan is an absolute masterpiece as far as storytelling goes
This is late but someone pointed it out so i decided to metion it, at 11:05 after Stan had already passed, and Eminem figures out it was him, if you look in the window you'll see Stan looking at Eminem, showing he was still obsessed with him even after death
@@neomp5 I know right😱 the most scary thing to me is that in the song, Mathew says "finally I found your new adress" and there is actually footage of the other Mathew on the porch of Em's old adress before he broke in at Em's house🤯
The kid dyed his hair bc he looked up to his brother not Eminem and what’s sad is Stan wanted to be someone else and didn’t even realize he had his brother looking up and wanting to be like him.
Dido is so underrated, she has a gorgeous voice. Don't know how true this is but apparently stans brother Mathew would be 26 now and a 26 year old called Matthew broke into Eminems house recently, got past security and everything.
While the story in this song is fictional the crazy thing is that last year a fan broke into eminem's house, and it turns out not only was his name Matthew, but he was also the same age that Stan's younger brother would be.
That didn’t actually happen BUT look up the guy who broke in to Em’s house. He was about the same age as the little brother, named Matthew and said he was there to kill Em.
In the 60s 70s when I first started listening to music you only got to hear or see artists on the radio/tv, or buy their records(vinyl) there was Beatle mania where girls passed out at concerts and queued for days to see John, Paul, George and Ringo, I loved Rod Stewart and my sister loved Marc Bolan, our bedroom walls were plastered with cut out pictures of them, but that was as far as it went, now with social media fans want more and more from their idols, for a few they go to extremes, I think it must be very frightening for artists today, they are not allowed a private life, I love the fact that UA-cam and the rest of social media bring anything I want right into my home, but I also recognise the down side.
@SuffiReax btw Dido (pronounced DIE-do) had an earlier track called Thank You which Eminem "sampled" with collaboration with her. It got to #3 on Billboard Hot 100 back in 2001, ironically though it was released as a single AFTER "Stan". However it was first released on the soundtrack of the film "Sliding Doors" in 1998 and then featured on her Debut album the next year. More info here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_You_(Dido_song) Both songs are great and though Stan does rely heavily on the structure of "Thank You".
Yes, it seems extreme looking back on this track as an adult, but I was around when Eminem blew up and he was a cultural phenomenon. There were a lot of stans. I've always been more interested in the art than the artist. Otherwise, I might have been somewhat of a stan myself. Played the fuck out of the first three albums.
THANK YOU for finding the unedited version!!!👏👏👏 Eminem's videos are next level - BUT 'Stan' is one of his best, if not thee best song/video ever made, by any Artist from any genre! #Stan
This is my teenage years, Eminem is genius. Glad you liked it. This video is superb. Just a year before this came out I was loving Dido's song that she is singing in this. That was a hit too, but maby only in Europe?
Eminem created the word/phrase “Stan” And Eminem fanbase is called “Stans” obviously we aren’t like this but it’s folks out there like this which is wild also this songs a masterpiece! Eminem Is The Goat you’ll see why as you progress through this Eminem journey...🙇🏽♂️🐐✨💯(Please React to Eminem “Bad Guy” the sequel to Stan it’s about Matthew Mitchell Stan’s little brother seeking revenge on Marshall aka Eminem)
Sometimes I truly felt bad about my own fixation towards singers, athletes and people I admire but then I realise I slowly drifted away from some many fandoms? Or stopped being a fan of many artists and that put me on a peace. There are many people like this stanley on the fandom I'm currently in, having their entire room plastered with posters, cutboards, buying thousands of merch etc and I find that excessive. But each to their own I guess
Great reaction, I think this is a fantastic piece of writing from Em! Paints such an amazing picture! I’d love to see you react to ‘Sing for the Moment’!!!
The word “stan” still catches me up a bit bc of this song. Ik it’s nothing like this, but still…. I heard Em & watched the video before so I was creeped out when I heard it used again.
I feel like Stan/Bad Guy together will be dissected in English/music classes in the future. Separate they are brilliant but together, they are a masterpiece and I don’t even think that’s an overreaction. Darkness is another extremely underrated piece of work.
Suffi... check Bad guy which is the follow up story to Stan from the album Marshall Mather LP 2 love ur reactions!! i hope you continue your journey with Eminem!! Thanks :) Stay safe!!!
Do Eminem - Mockingbird! Em is great at storytelling but this song is about his marriage and his daughter Hailey and the struggles he went through. Basically a reflection about it. Check it out pls!
I recommend you 'The way I am "explicit as the next song to react ..... as to continue in his evolution as an artist .... as a data the word Stan was introduced in the Oxford dictionary as a definition of an obsessed fan
@@kubraalml7202 PS: This video shows us that Stan is a ghost, if you look very good in the window when there is thunder you can still see that he is not dead. 🧐
Stan put her in the trunk because Eminem has a song where he puts Kim in the trunk on the Slim Shady LP called "Bonnie and Clyde" and Stan is taking the horrorcore fantasy story too literal
Not that it matters lol but it's pronounced Die-do. For future reference 🥰 That's a whole different song that she has called Thank You, that got woven into his song
@Suffi Reax yeah great video great reaction but you should definitely check out "Bad Guy" it's the sequel to this. And like they said in previous comments definitely check it out while this video and story is fresh in your mind.
A 25 yr. Old man Named MATTHEW BROKE INTO EM'D HOUSE 🏠. Matthew his brother was Stan. The names were changed for Privacy.😢😢😢😢😢😢 Awesome way to tell a TRUTH. SCARY. I HAVE BEEN STALKED AND IT'S A FREAKING MENTAL HEALTH BREAK.G GET HELP
hey man im digging your reactions! your all ive been watching while i been sick and im so hyped to see you reacting to some of EMs songs if you could plz plz plz plz plz plz check out the song "infinite" its from ems first album infinite from 96! has amazing flow and is a hidden GEM!!
And the word "Stan" was officially added to the Oxford English Dictonary in 2017. I don't think any other rapper have their own word in the dictonary
Crazy
He'd be the one who appreciated it most for sure, seeing as the dictionary is his favorite book.
Actually there is Lil Wayne got his own word in the dictionary with bling bling which he invented.
@@doriandesbois5964 oh cool I didn't know that.
Also Will Smith “Jiggy” was added I don’t know when.
Fun fact. Eminem have always been accused of being homophobic and he was getting tired of it, so when he was asked to perform this at the Grammys in 2001 he said he would only do it if Elton John would so Didos part, which he did, to show the world he isn't homophobic.

That is really cool, I did not know any of that. Thank you for sharing
@@suffireax yeah, it’s a great version of the track!
Elton is Eminem’s AA/NA sponsor - Em has 14 or 15 years clean now, no alcohol or drugs of any kind! He calls him ‘uncle Elton’ !! Lol!!
Em gave Elton and his husband diamond cock rings for a wedding present
@@shawnac9289 that is such as an Eminem thing to do
@@shawnac9289 they're not used, but I heard they're on display in their house
it's not a true story, but it is based on crazy fans he has experienced - just embellished
He got a kinda weird fanmail and made this, right?
Yes, it hasn't exactly happened with Stan, but Eminem represented something that happens in reality, tragedies like Christine Gimmie, the Bjork fan was one of the most terrible cases, and others that I can't remember now.
in 2020 a man broke into Eminems house claiming he was there to kill him, the guys name was Matthew, he was 26 years old. In stan the little brother was 6 years old and named Matthew, and it was 20 years since Stan came out. Pretty weird ngl lol
Obsessive fans are called stans because of Eminem, no one else. He started that.
Gotta do Bad Guy now while this is still fresh in your mind… it’s the sequel to Stan
This is why when the word stan started to go around as a way to signify how much you liked an artist, I couldn't believe it. The word stan will always take me back to this song. I always thought that Eminem was cautioning everyone over idolization of celebrities
I agree I think it's pretty twisted that people use it to mean a major fan. I really don't like that
This song/video is where the term Stan (as in Stan Culture/I Stan so and so artist) was born.
Not sure how accurate this is but I’ve heard that “Stan” is a short version of “Stalker Fan”. Btw I love your Eminem reactions! Hopefully you can do “When I’m Gone” next.
it is in the dictionary lol
If I'm not mistaken, that was actually a meaning that was derived after the fact, presumably by people who didn't know the actual origin (being that it came from this song).

In my opinion Stan is an absolute masterpiece as far as storytelling goes
Fun fact: This video tells us that not Stan but his little brother is the biggest fan. He said so himself.
But stan also does say "I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose"
This is late but someone pointed it out so i decided to metion it, at 11:05 after Stan had already passed, and Eminem figures out it was him, if you look in the window you'll see Stan looking at Eminem, showing he was still obsessed with him even after death
I feel like this video and song is really about how people with severe mental illnesses could become dangerously obsessed with famous people.
Now you have to do "bad guy"... it's part two of "Stan" and it was released 13 years later.
and nearly came to life last year
@@neomp5 I know right😱 the most scary thing to me is that in the song, Mathew says "finally I found your new adress" and there is actually footage of the other Mathew on the porch of Em's old adress before he broke in at Em's house🤯
@@loneb9759 between that one and "like toy soldiers", em has a disturbing pattern of predicting the future
@@neomp5 yes, it's scary🙈😊
At the end of the song you can see Stan in the window next to Eminem for a split second from the lightning.
The kid dyed his hair bc he looked up to his brother not Eminem and what’s sad is Stan wanted to be someone else and didn’t even realize he had his brother looking up and wanting to be like him.
Beautiful
Dido is so underrated, she has a gorgeous voice.
Don't know how true this is but apparently stans brother Mathew would be 26 now and a 26 year old called Matthew broke into Eminems house recently, got past security and everything.
While the story in this song is fictional the crazy thing is that last year a fan broke into eminem's house, and it turns out not only was his name Matthew, but he was also the same age that Stan's younger brother would be.
Thaaaats wild
Fun fact, the guy who did the character of Stan is also the main character in the original Final Destination, Devon Sawa
That didn’t actually happen BUT look up the guy who broke in to Em’s house. He was about the same age as the little brother, named Matthew and said he was there to kill Em.

This song and music video never fail to give me goosebumps!
HOLY CRAP! Yep, masterful storytelling

I've always been more interested in the art than the artist. Otherwise, I might have been somewhat of a stan myself. Played the fuck out of the first three albums.
The word Stan is now commonly used to explain crazy fans, It also is now in the dictionary
THANK YOU for finding the unedited version!!!👏👏👏 Eminem's videos are next level - BUT 'Stan' is one of his best, if not thee best song/video ever made, by any Artist from any genre! #Stan
*Is the best
“97 Bonnie & Clyde is a bit of a prequel to this song and “Bad Guy” is the sequel.
thats also why a lot of people say, "dont be a stan" lol, its clearly not a good thing to stan someone.
People also tend to throw that term around a lot too. People don’t know the difference in fan, super fan, and Stan.
Great reaction! I remember this on MTV ages ago. Dido has really great songs, I love her voice so much
This is my teenage years, Eminem is genius. Glad you liked it. This video is superb. Just a year before this came out I was loving Dido's song that she is singing in this. That was a hit too, but maby only in Europe?
the movie about obsessive fans , "Misery" the main character, Paul accidently drove off a cliff in a snow storm
I'm your #1 fan

To be fair, Dido is also an artist that`s well worth a look into..."White Flag" is an unbelievably catchy tune and tells a very familiar story...
Very true. Her voice is so lovely.
Great reaction, I think this is a fantastic piece of writing from Em! Paints such an amazing picture!
I’d love to see you react to ‘Sing for the Moment’!!!
You should listen to 'Bad Guy' from the MMLP2, its a direct sequel to this song
Heavy, not listened to this since i was a kid
If you liked Stan then you should soon listen to
Bad Guy
Its connected to Stan and comes out around 10-13 years later
Best regards from Iceland 🇮🇸🇮🇸

You must do Bad Guy next. Highly underrated masterpiece which is Stan part 2.
I feel like Stan/Bad Guy together will be dissected in English/music classes in the future. Separate they are brilliant but together, they are a masterpiece and I don’t even think that’s an overreaction. Darkness is another extremely underrated piece of work.

The definitive dangers-of-obsession rap song.
I'm so slow, I never realize the image of Stanley on the window next to eminem at the end 🤦
Stan put her in the trunk because Eminem has a song where he puts Kim in the trunk on the Slim Shady LP called "Bonnie and Clyde" and Stan is taking the horrorcore fantasy story too literal
