The sequel to "Stan" is "Bad Guy". Arose is supposed to be played right after "Castle" so you guys should do a reaction to both in the same video, "Castle" then "Arose" and another reaction video to "Stan" and "Bad Guy" back to back, both combos are some of Em's best story telling songs. Castle and Arose always gets me right in the feels.

This love triangle left us in a wrecked/rect angle. The love triangle has 3 sides. The situation gained a 4th side when the 4th life was brought in to it. Thus changing the love triangle into a rectangle. The aborted baby was the 4th side in the situation. It's one of the deepest, cleverest lines in recent years. Elite level writing.

I would suggest listening to In Your Head then Castle then Arose. The last two are obviously related (as you will hear) But for me this is like a trilogy of songs. Give it a try. These songs are the last 3 on Revival (2017) And Bad Guy is the sequel to Stan. Its the opening track on the Marshal Mathers LP2 (2013)

[@nasty8975]

Love this song I'd place it as his 2nd best storytelling song you guys need to check BAD GUY the sequel to Stan for his best story. Here's some bars I think you guys may have missed no worries though you guys did great especially without lyrics. "She said maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy to spite-her-man(spiderman)" "so I revert to the studio like hole in the wall diners don't have to be reserved in the booth"he doesn't need a reservation to go to a cheap diner as well as his own studio but he also doesn't have to speak/think in a reserved way in his studio. Last verse hard to catch first time without lyrics I think you guys caught most of it when you recapped but he said "if life was a highway and deceit was an enclave I'd be swerving in 5 lanes speeds at a high rate like I'm sliding on ice maybe that's why I may have came at you sideways I can't keep my lies straight but I made you terminate my baby there's no triangle left us in a wreck-tangled"

[@ynaffit9885]

You guys should finish "🔥🔥THE EMINEM SHOW🔥🔥." It is at least top 3, if not his #1 album." 'Till I Collaspe," "Without Me," "Superman," "Soldier," "Cleanin' Out My Closet," "White America" and "When The Music Stops" just some of the ones you guys have done from the album. More to do, please react to one of my favorites "SING FOR THE MOMENT," one of Eminem's best anthem songs with storytelling. Keep up the good work! ⭐⭐⭐

[@tylerriojas6250]

So happy you enjoyed that song. I really like that entire album, it has good writing and hits tough topics like this. I suppose people talked shit about this album which inspired him to do Kamikaze. Stan 2 is on Marshall Mathers LP 2 first track called bad guy features Matthew Mitchell, the boy who he signed an autograph for on a starter cap. Castle is a song about his mindset leading into addiction, while The Rose is the sequel to that where he realizes he doesn't have to be that way anymore. I sort of envy those taking this journey for the first time.

[@dannwalker9865]

[@MandiNicole0388]

I’m really glad your boys love this track when this first came out it didn’t really do well. I’m not sure why this whole album didn’t really do well and it’s actually something that Eminem references in his newer music but I think this album is good. I think it was something to do with the older Eminem fans not following along with his career, for one reason or another, and then the younger generation, who had no idea of Eminem’s Legacy not really liking this style of rap since mumble rap was popular at the time, but anyway, regardless, this song proves how good of a storyteller Eminem is while also having great bars great cadence over great beats. And I think one of his greatest talents is the passion that he raps with there’s always passion feeding those lyrics bars. Also, Ed Sheeran is just amazing on this and if y’all like that I think you guys should really check out the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame induction of Eminem I know they have the full clip of it here on KZbin. I would love to see you guys react to that. ❤

This is one of those standout songs on Revival that's really slept on.
