who is canines? If you're talking about Canibus this song is based off of the letters he wrote Em however he changed the story a bit to make it more interesting, sort of like how 8 mile is based practically off of Em's life but Em doesn't want to admit so.
Brendan Allen Bruh they are two different things Stan is about an obsessed fan and the letters em was getting due to his rise of fame and how white people loved him (also shown in white america) canibus wrote letters to him yes but the song wasn't based off him, canibus is another rapper, he and em had a little beef and em called him Stan because of the letters that's all it was.
Yea but I still think it's al lil bit mean haha... That girl seems so sweet that she wears a ring haha she loves Eminem, and he disses her on live tv..? Savage okay, but it's also mean..
In a way, the story of Stan is both real and fictional. Stan himself is made-up, but incidents like this (people killing/harming themselves and/or others because of obsession over an idol) do happen. In a way, the story sort of became real after the song was released. Avid fans of celebrities are still called 'Stans' (according to Wiki: the term has frequently been used to describe artist devotees whose fanaticism matches the severity of the obsessive character named "Stan" in the 2000 Eminem song) although they have their own fan club names too (Beliebers, Directioners, etc). Only the fans of Eminem himself are actually called Stans. Also, 'Stan' has also been seen as a merging of 'stalker' and 'fan', while 'fandoms' are groups of Stans as a whole All the above info is taken from wiki
NBKM_KILLER why does that announcer act that way saying he can't do anything jumping right to sexual stuff guys strange Eminem says well I can and he's like well we won't...(get into that)guess he almost said. Don't think he was on the same page as Eminem.
Roman T yeah I think Eminem was thinking something along the lines of helping them out and stuff and the other guy immediately started thinking of sexual stuff. Not sure tho, the entire thing is kindof difficult to read for me
He put great amount of effort to answer the question, then host asks the question again as it flew over his head. That guy should've been the next target in his songs.
I feel good driving drunk in the rain at night flying off a bridge recording crazy messed up messages to Eminem with my pregnant girlfriend in the trunk
All the fans like that have got to understand that Eminem is just a person like each person in the world. He is just famous(well, very famous) because of his songs and that's it. Yes, his style is sort of "a cool rapper" and he gets money for that, and that's all too. In the real life, he is only a person who does rap music. And in this video, he says "It's a little much for me". Just imagine that you started making rap songs. And suddenly, you start getting letters like that. It would be crazy to you. So it is for him. Think about it and don't be like "Stan". That's ridiculous.
I gave you a deserved thumbs up 👍🏻 Seriously, who wants to be a "Stan"? If you watch that video, that dude was a WACKJOB and killed himself and his girlfriend who was to be the mother of his child. I know it's just a story that Eminem created but it's based on people who are truly like that. Maybe not to that extent but it has to be crazy or Eminem never would have felt the need to write, "Stan" unless he was sending a message to his fans (in this case, he's trying to get the crazy fans to straighten up and realize what they're doing is not normal). He even said in the music video, "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". I get why Eminem wrote this, his lyrics are self explanatory. It's just an eye opener for some fan to either get help from taking things to far and hurting themselves and others, and that Eminem is only using satire on the serious shit. Like he said about the wrist part. 😐
This is a great message from Em. It’s good to have role models in life but you should also follow your own morals and make the choices you want in your own life.
20 years later, a 26 year old guy broke into his house. The intruder could be 6yo when this song was released, same as Stan's brother Mathew... The intruder broke into his house just to meet him, his name is Mathew.
The fact that it relates to teens and he received letters from teens breaks my hearttt! I would play his music (now more of his new songs) and It would be on my hardest days!!! (Middle school) very much appreciate his music 🙌🏽
Favourite Eminem bar "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 conscious eats you and you can't live without me"
Why are eminems fans called stan? Stan was obsessed with em that he did all that crazy shit Eminem doesn't want his fans to do, i think stan is the reflection of the kind of fan he doesn't want, even if he buys all of his records or have the whole wall covered by his posters, you know. I'm a huge fan of eminem but I am NOT a "stan"
It's not just Eminem fans. it's literally a word used in many fandoms. oh who do you Stan? wow really? I Stan them too. they're my favourite group! it's not related to the song at all. him naming the song Stan is actually a clever play on words because of the word to "stan" get it? 😆
anyone else here because of intense research just because of curiosity and all because you heard the song once and now you cant stop all because of Penny and Ezra singing this song (the videos on youtube just type “the lambs sing eminem”)
I give props to eminem for using this as an opportunity to tell his fans to stop amd get help instead of of just letting it continue or just complaining.thats how you deal with a problem.
“it’s about crazy fans who can relate to me, like, i’m not (realizes he is actually crazy too) it’s about fans who take what I say too literally lol this guy I fucking love Marshall he really is GOATTT BRO
.... Whelp, I feel stupid for actually believing that Stan and his story was real. Guess I just never got told otherwise so I never tried to look up wether or not it was true. Kinda sucks but oh well. It's a good song with still hella deep meaning regarding many fans and I appreciate that. ❤
"Everything that I say is not meant to be taken literally ... Just most of the things that I say." :) That bit at the end though... "Well, I can." Creepy AF dude. I was in it until that.
Did anyone hear, 1:39 , 1:49 and the end of the video correctly? "Not much you can do about 15 & 17 year olds" Eminem: "OH but I can" Host: yeah you can but we won't talk about (end of video) "
I think he says I can't but this is so low quality, but it's does sorta sound like he says I can, plus they are just making a bit of brainless small talk so I don't think slim was paying attention. But yeah I think he said I can't but it did sound like I can
In a way some of it is true. Fans do get a bit obsessed and obsession can drive people to do crazy things. It is possible that this can be the case with all types of obsessions and an ill mental state of any kind.
Then again, I once had 500+ likes on a comment I wrote claiming the statement above was false, but that was to do with embarrassing a reporter that decided to be a d**k about the subject. You know, them type of people that hates everyone and everything.
***** well, as soon as someone changes an answer to something. wikipedia gets a note that someone has changed something, and they chack if it is correct, if it isn't, they change it back, in about 10-20 seconds

its made up story, but its realistic cuz it can happen
I don't think it's like a joke to him, I mean this kind of situations is real and there are a lot of crazy fans that take his song litterally so EM feels like it's his job to tell them that they shouldn't do.
+kawaiisrs07 Stan isn't a real person, the song is explaining to his audience that the things he says in his songs shouldn't be taken literal. Stan is just a character who's the embodiment of his crazy fans
This song is a artist to fan ballet... a “I hope you understand life is busy but I care about you” a reasoning between the two distance different lives and life styles .. the fan and the artist ... Plus what Eminem said ... “don’t take him literal”
thank god it was a fictional story. if it were real, that would be too depressing.
It's based on the kinda shit he gets, its sorta real.
He based it off of letters he got from the rapper Canibus. Canibus even responded with a diss then an apology song
Brendan Allen It wasn't based of canines at all LMAO canines did send letters to em though but that's just coincidence
who is canines? If you're talking about Canibus this song is based off of the letters he wrote Em however he changed the story a bit to make it more interesting, sort of like how 8 mile is based practically off of Em's life but Em doesn't want to admit so.
Brendan Allen Bruh they are two different things Stan is about an obsessed fan and the letters em was getting due to his rise of fame and how white people loved him (also shown in white america) canibus wrote letters to him yes but the song wasn't based off him, canibus is another rapper, he and em had a little beef and em called him Stan because of the letters that's all it was.
is it just me or does it sound like hes rapping when he talks...
I was totally thinking that!!
Yeah.
cause rappers talk real fast in a rythim not sing.
Brandon Ro He does.
naw he just talks like a black dude
Stalker + Fan = Stan. This may be why Em named him Stan.

Us stans are not a fandom, we are a family.
So do you also tie up your pregnant girlfriend, lock her in the trunk of your car, and drive off a bridge to commit a murder-suicide?
Thanks for making this clearer!
The song playing in the background is so calming and vibey

Not much you can do bout that

According to an interview with 50, Eminem wrote a song similar to Stan around the Relapse era which he wrote for Relapse 2.
Damn. Eminem is 49 years old. Crazy
He just turned 48 in October
oh my god i didn't know it wasn't real, i just let out a huge sigh of relief.
However times he says, we still connect to his lyrics literally.
I am so relieved this was a fictional story. The music video gave me chills man
"how old is she? 12? "
Loool
"You know what I'm sayin?"
“it’s about crazy fans who can relate to me, like, i’m not (realizes he is actually crazy too) it’s about fans who take what I say too literally lol this guy I fucking love Marshall

Under all that crazy lyrics he’s a good guy
Even when he talks normally, he makes it rhyme.
