Dad Reacts to Eminem - Stan

[@AlucardMM]

This song was so great the word “stan” was added to the dictionary

[@DJKuroh]

It's so pervasive that tons of people don't know that the term "stan" came from Eminem.

[@benmorrison8533]

It's largely unknown that the designation "stan" was added to the English lexicon after first being used in this track.

[@DJKuroh]

@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.

[@forreal88]

Stan comes from st-alker f-an. Eminem thought that through really well.

[@DJKuroh]

@@forreal88 He has never confirmed that. It's just a theory.

[@leonardonocapreo4876]

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.

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.

Really awesome idea to have super iconic tracks in their own separate video. Entertaining video as always

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

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!

[@ChadYu]

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.

[@aeo1998]

love the idea of iconic tracks having their own video!

[@elizabethmontoya5633]

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.🤯

[@MrGuitarable]

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

[@ElPerroGrandeNessi]

Great call

[@layla-xt5vh]

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.

[@jackdavidek8174]

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!

[@bossbacon302]

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

[@josefgatti]

Haven't listened to this song in years, thanks for the throwback. Still as good as ever

[@Major98]

Classic song. One of Em's greatest for sure

[@Notdeepakchopra]

i’m so glad you guys did stan separately. it’s em’s best track imo. thank you guys 🙏 shouts out from kelowna lol ✌️

[@stanleyhudson8453]

You gotta show your dad “When I’m Gone” song & video. Some of my favorite Eminem tracks are these emotional ballads.

[@moc-king-bird]

The Marshall Mathers LP is my favorite album of all time and Stan is a standout for sure. Im exited for the reaction of the whole album.

[@adamappleton4631]

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.

[@SXDAPOP.CURT1S]

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.

[@ThatCreativeRc]

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.

[@maggotdevourer]

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.

[@heathersoup999]

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.

[@CRoStubbs]

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!

[@ScottThePisces]

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!
