I’m here for the Eminem journey, just make sure you’re reacting to the explicit versions of his songs

you should start watching uncensored versions of the songs

This is where the word Stan originated from. A stalker and a fan

Yep this is where the expression "Stan" came from

Just so you know this is how the term 'stan' was coined 🙂.

The beat and chorus is merely a sample from Didos original joint, "Thank You". Didos song and her album were dope as well. That song bangs on its own.

Dido sings the chorus. Her stuff is dope. Very calming and beautiful voice.

This song is probably almost as old as you are. This was right before I graduated high school back when we were still buying CDs.

In case you didn't understand through the censoring, his pregnant girlfriend was tied up in the trunk when he drove the car off the bridge. A lot of Eminem early work was censored even though there was no curse words. Like a few lines about columbine too.

And that’s how the word *STAN* was created!

there is actually a part 2 to this song it's called "Eminem - Bad Guy" definitely should check it out next while Stan is still fresh in your mind.

The song at beginning is Thank You by Dido...that is her playing the pregnant girlfriend in this video

This came out in 2000. I was 14 when I first heard it. Blew my mind. You're open mouth expression at the end was exactly on the money. Messed up thing is there are actually people like that.

It's always exciting watching people go on an eminem journey

Stan was released in 2000. 21 years ago. Crazy how time flies!

Stan might be one of the greatest rap songs ever written.

Without Me is a classic Eminem song

This album is just an absolute masterpiece. All the way through.

The part where you can see Stan's reflection in the window when the lightning is flashing always gives me the chills.

I always like watching people get introduced to Em. I like how you’re doing his earlier stuff for now. I hope you end up kind of going in order of his career a bit so you can see his growth and how he evolves over time. This song came out on the MMLP 20 years ago. The singer in this is Dido. The live performance at the MTV VMAs was Eminem and Elton John and it was a huge deal. My suggestion though is if you are going to do the videos, try and find the uncensored versions to the songs don’t cut out. A few songs that have Em on them that stand out around this time are Guilty Conscience and Forget About Dre with Dr Dre and Dead Wrong with B.I.G. Also, over time the STAN definition has changed a bit but it originally meant Stalker Fan, and kind of still does in some areas.

It's crazy to me to think that someone hasn't heard this song. When I was in high school and this came out it was impossible not to hear it 5 times a day. Absolutely massive.

It was released in 2000. 😊🌹

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...🙇🏽‍♂️🐐✨💯(This Song came out in the year 2000 the video was just uploaded to KZfaq 11 years ago lol this video also came out in 2000)

Another great song from his classic album, The MMLP. You've reacted to three songs from that album so far: Kim, Real Slim Shady & Stan. So many great records from that album but next I'd recommend reacting to 'Way I AM'.

I love the song as well and definitely love how he sampled the song 'Thank You' by Dido. everytime i think about the year 2000 this song plays in my head.

You should react to the uncensored versions and some songs I recommended are My Dad’s Gone Crazy, Hailie’s Song, When I’m Gone, Marshall Mathers, The Way I Am, Criminal

Can't nobody tell a story like Eminem The dude is a lyrical genius

BABE, ALWAYS LISTEN TO UNCENSORED VERSION OF ANY SONG

When people make the mistake of assuming the date a video was uploaded to KZfaq was the date it was released it makes me feel 100 years old. Like all these people don’t remember a pre-KZfaq world where you’d see the video on mtv and that was it!

Darkness has an amazing story telling

Nostalgia is a hell of a feeling lol, happens to me when I rediscover older songs all the time

You have to check out The Way I Am, its one of his and You have to watch explicit version plz

That was really good! Thanks JayShara! 😊🌹

Uncensored. You're missing so much. Eminem's early work was dope. Great reaction!

The explicit versions gives shady's songs more sense.

The song and video came out around 20 years ago.

React to Eminem & Dr.Dre - Guilty Conscience

STalker plus fAN = STAN

I'm here for that scream...😂😂💯

Fun fact: the guy playing Stan is the same guy from the first Final Destination movie.

still one of the best sample/beat combinations in hip hop history in my opinion

You have to do Sing for the moment, it's one of the greatest songs of any genre of all time, do video with explicit lyrics please

Goat 🐐 I hope this doesn’t get knocked off youtube!

The woman in the video is Dido and yes that's her singing. The chorus is from her song "Thank You"

This song made the word Stan be an universal meaning for obcessed fan, thanks to Eminem. Dido has one of the best voices of this century, she has such great hits, you must react. Some are Don't Leave Home, White Flag, Life For Rent, Thank You, Here With Me and Hunter. You will not regreat it. Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever but also for all good stuff. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect.

the girl playong the girlfriend is a singer who sings the hook, Em sampled her song for the hook. he put her in the video as a cameo

Eminem was so smart in this. When the woman was yelling Stanley..that's ironic because Eminem loves comics and Stan Lee founded some of the most iconic comics such as Spiderman.

Stalker - Fan = STAN. I was told that's how the word Stan started. Stalker fan is broken down and combined. I didn't know that until about 3 weeks ago. Reaction was trophy

Stans crazyness on that level

“I HEARD THIS SONG BEFOOOORRREEE”!!!!!! 😂🤣

That part of the song is a sample of THANK YOU, from the artist Dido, who just so happens to be the girlfriend in the video.

Bad Guy by Eminem is the sequel to Stan

The actor was Devon Sawa, star of the Urban Legends series.

Took me back 2 decades 🤣

Loved that reaction, didn't get the beginning either and surprised when it started with the song.

Yeah, its crazy. Sheesh!

hey there,all the way frm Cape Town,South Africa,absolutely love ur energy n vibe n great reactions,u should react to when im gone and mockingbird from Eminem,great story telling songs

It came out longer than 11 years ago; the year you see on KZfaq, is just the year it was uploaded to KZfaq

Gotta do "When I'm Gone" Em gets DEEP in his feels!

This song is a true story Eminem only speaks about the truth and his life. Love E"

Honestly, even if the video is censored having the lyrics on the side is always a good idea. Especially for someone like em who's so detailed sometikes

Great vid as usual. Also you should watch all of Eminem’s videos uncensored or explicit

every Em song you do has to be the EXPLICIT version trust!!!!

yo Jay, the song came out in 2000. For reference of how long ago that was i was born that same year, great video.

It's one of the greatest songs ever

The actor playing stan is Devon Sawa. He was a super big star in the 90s as far as teen type movies. Played in Casper, Now and Then, Little Giants, Idle Hands, Final Destination, and SLC Punk. A bunch more I'm sure but that's the short list.

Ya they went all out on the music video the kid who played Stan is an actual actor and was in a bunch of movies around that time

Actor that played Stan is famous for the original Final Destination movie.

New subscriber here. I love your energy. Sending positive vibes your way.

The guy who plays Stan also is the lead actor in the movie Final Destination.

The lady playing the wife of Stan in this video is a artist named Dido, Emimen sample her song called "Thank You", so they thought it would be dope to have her in the video sing her song.

Like you listen to a song and basically you know the basics that's as if you had never heard it

Stan is used now in two ways; one, as hyperbole or an exaggeration to express how much you love an artist, or two, as a way to delegitimize a point someone is making, to say they're only saying what they're saying because they're biased toward an artist or person. 20 years ago, Stan was just Stan. Eminem coined it with this song. It meant a dangerously obsessed fan. Face value.

That girl is the real singer of the chorus.

Yes. The woman in the video is singing the hook. Her name is Dido and the hook is actually a sample from her song Thank You, which is kind of a happy song but Eminem flipped the sample and made it twisted and dark. Very creative.

Stan meaning doesn't exists without Eminem and this song

Please react to “when I’m gone” and “sing for the moment” uncensored by Eminem

Idky, But When I Wuz Young, The Scariest Part In Diz Video Wuz Stan's Face Appearing In The Window When Em Said "It Wuz You... Damn". BRUH 😳

*UNCENSORED* Eminem!

Jah know my girl... me glad you a learn still... subscriber from Jamaica 🇯🇲... that's why me talking to you like this 😃.

Love the way you lie reaction

Stalker + Fan = stan, in dictionary because of Em

Great reaction

For Eminem Journey.. 🤘🏻 🤘🏻

Jay the song Stan by Eminem came out in November 20th 2000

Love Em

Stan is a classic

This girl is pretty OMG

Wish it was the uncensored version of Stan!

It's a sample of a song by dido called I just want to thank you. Dido actually played the pregnant girlfriend in the Stan video

Lmao that scream tho! came out of nowhere

In addition to being just very good on a technical level, Eminem is also a very good musical storyteller, or at least he used to be...

I really enjoyed this reaction video. May I suggest The Way I Am or Cleaning Out My Closet for your next reaction.

Bad Guy from the MMLP2 is the continuation of Stan. POV of little brother. So go back listen to the unedited version of Stan then react to Bad Guy 👍🏽 Use the lyrics if you need it 🤷🏽‍♂️

It says oops video is blocked on the video you’re watching We can see the video but it looks like a preview in the background💯

PLEASE react to the title track off of his first (totally slept-on) album, Infinite. It was released in 1996. It's him before Dre, and before his Slim Shady persona.

Omg you need to listen to the sequel to this song its from the brothers perspective Mathew its called "bad guy" one of the best verses at the end in the last ten years

fan = fanatic

Mini trivia…the actor who plays Stan is also the main character in the very first “Final Destination”

Now you need to listen to the song 'bad guy' from Eminem which is the sequel to this song
