YOU DON’T KNOW STAN?! COME ON NOW! | Eminem - Stan ft. Dido (Karen's First Time)

[@CliffBeatsOfficial]

Eminem- Bad Guy is up next! (For the follow up) 🙏

[@pyrotechnichell3475]

i can't wait, Bad Guy is just so good.

[@careless-minds]

Can't wait!

Was going to say, you both have to do that next when I was watching before reading the comments

May I just say that being able to seek your video out via "Cliff beats Karen" might get some people in trouble...? xD

Damnnn i seen this video 1000 times and never seen that in the window when the lighting flash 🤯🤯🤯

[@blairowens8912]

Same never. That's fucking good. Damn. Its one of those things you see in the corner of your eye and just assume.

I didn't realize that "Stan" is the guy from the first Final Destination movie too! And, that is in my top 10 horror movies list!

[@MrMysterious749]

Bro, when I saw that I literally screamed ain’t no way because he said I hope you can’t sleep when you dream about it when you dream. I hope you scream when you think about it.

I'm not seeing it??

[@josephmodglin3829]

Nevermind lol

[@Dawwwg]

This track is more than twice the length of an average single, but it was everywhere, radio, TV and it went #1 all over the world. And to many, this was an introduction to Eminem or at least the first song they liked. Like Lose Yourself, it transcended genres, cultures and different types of audiences...

[@gregory6592]

Dido's song mix had something to do with that.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

The combination is an excellent example of 2 different genres coming together making something new!

[@KS-xk2so]

I remember when this album first came out, me and my friend got it, then spent all day at his place listening to the whole thing.... the funny thing was, the big single was supposed to be "The Real Slim Shady"... it was blowing up the airwaves at the time.... but the first song we went back and re-played after going through the album was Stan. It was so dope... so different. We knew it was going to be THE song of the album eventually... and it sure is.

Stan is such a great song, it's definitely one of if not my top favourite song from Eminem.

[@Danny_R_]

This is an absolute masterpiece of a song..

[@NateDawg920]

Karen kinda touched on it, but millions of the younger generation call people stans or them a stan of something and they have no clue it was created from this song and they've never heard it..most anyway.

[@michaelbraum77]

Bet they try to cancel the term Stan next!

[@AngB517]

I've seen it in the Supernatural Fandom and some of them scare the crap out of me. They have no touch on reality anymore, and it's fxcking creepy, I'm talking to the point they want the wives *gone* . Theories about this that or the other, finding their houses etc, it's bonkers!!!

Thanks Cliff and Karen ❤

[@Elvis78erKiez]

"Bad Guy" Next... Pt2 of Stan, the last Verse is one of Em's Best ever 😉 ❤

[@guinevere7494]

I c already believed Karen hadn’t seen this. Her face when he went over the bridge was what gave me the chills. I’ve heard and lived this song for so long I had forgotten that first time. Thank you Karen for being you and thank you both. Peace and love

[@Emilie-one]

This track gives me chills every time. I heard the Dido song before Em used it for Stan. I had her album. I love watching the two of you. I guessed that there might be tears from empathetic Karen. That was how I felt my first time with this song/video.

[@Nick__E2]

My mom had Dido’s album before Em used it too haha. She played it alllllll the time in her car. I remember trippin out over that the first time I heard this song

[@Deztheone808]

Stan- *drives his pregnant gf off the cliff* Cliff- “what makes you cry exactly?” 😂😂😂😂

[@lonnaneil8011]

So tragic of a story, but Eminem’s story telling is a masterpiece. Amazing reaction Karen ❤🔥🐐🌹

[@CheesiestCheesehead]

.. “when I’m gone “ that song always got me in my feelings. 💯

[@johneaton5833]

Also think of the stan's name. Stanlee. Em is huge into comic books and a very popular name within the comics world is Stan Lee.

[@blackguardharper7005]

It's actually Stanley, no one spells it Stanlee.

[@AngB517]

It’s actually combining the words stalker and fan for Stan

[@kitrodriguez992]

Till now, this track gives me chills. Especially the fuckin music video. "His name was.. it was you" and you see Stan peeking through the window. Chills EVERY SINGLE TIME

[@howlando6989]

I remember when this came out, I had to go buy Dido CD the next day so I could hear the music without all the yapping noise on top of it. It took another 10 years or so to eventually become a Stan

[@mvp91]

I love this series with Karen so much because she has very emotional personality. That being said to this day i never saw the reflection from Stan in the window.. thats just the way eminems whole music is designed to. Oftten times you find nuggets years after hearing songs for the first time. We are truly blessed to get Eminem in a kind of way.

[@tomazroses6022]

A Masterpiece.. 💐 💐 To 4 the Greatest 👑 🐐. 🤘🏻 🤘🏻

[@Wickit96]

I've seen and heard this at least a hundred plus times, and I just realized the window park isn't only when the lightning strikes but also foreshadowing leading up to it when light passes by the window, fucking phenomenal

[@LostHate]

Just like hearing it for the first time again via Karen.

[@chrisomahony9465]

Stan is definitely 💯 without a doubt in my top 3 songs by Eminem the lyrics are so deep you can’t help but absolutely 💯 love this song

[@KS-xk2so]

Its wild, I remember when this album hit.... Stan wasn't even what people were talking about. The Real Slim Shady had been blowing up the radios for weeks by then.... but after the full album dropped, it didn't take long for everyone to have this on repeat. So different at the time.

[@gregwhitworth]

Ok, I've seen this video at least 25 times and never saw Stan in the window when it lightnings. That took it to a whole new level 🤯

[@stevepuglia8964]

The look on her face when you said ," My girl Karen." Say it all . She's a real one Cliff you got a solid girl.

[@professorbugbear]

Eminem nailed the feel of parasocial relationships well before this was even a thing.

Idk where I ended up on yt tonight however, goddamn I’ve always loved this song but never teared up until I saw this beautiful person cry to it 😢

[@ashrafnasser9343]

‏‪19:22‬‏ I'm from Yemen & I'm Stan😂 EM is everywhere.. also I like your reactions, You are a good man❤

[@aaa2236]

I like the way you break down and go through Eminem’s life jumping across his songs regardless the release date in order to deliver an accurate insights on his career to this day. Great approach, +1 subscriber. I’ve got a request, could you break down the same way everything regarding to Eminem and ‘8 Mile’ movie? I think that most of people would appreciate, I haven’t seen a full coherent reaction/explanation in any other channel on YT, and people’d like to know more about the exact Eminem’s situation when he pulled that movie. He wrote and preformed it himself, I’m certain most of us have missed a big part of the meaning of most of the scenes. Plus the Rap Battles, the “Rabbit” character preformed by Em, his struggles, and the overlooked sides of all Eminem’s themes that came along: “Run Rabbit Run”, “Lose Yourself”, “Love me”, “8 Mile”, “Rap Game”, “8 Miles and Running”… most of the movie is based, inspírate by and depicts many of the real situations he had to went through back then at that stage in his personal life.

Great reaction, impressed Karen actually picked up on all the lyrics and story with very little explanation. Cool to see genuine reactions to the art 👍🏻

[@jeffeen6262]

Yes! stan is my favorite eminem song I've been waiting for this one

[@dtkincaid]

I have seen that video so many times and never noticed Stan's face in the window at the end. Thanks for pointing that out

[@MarshallLando]

what if stan got the letter, this could be his answer: Dear Slim, I just got your letter, man. I wasn’t expecting it. I’ve been through hell these past months, and I can’t believe you actually wrote back. It’s weird ‘cause I always thought you wouldn’t care, but your words hit me, like really hit me. I read it over and over ‘til the ink blurred out from my tears. You know, it’s crazy. I was out of control, Slim. I had this obsession that got too deep, and I couldn’t see anything beyond you, your music… it was all consuming. My girl left me after that whole thing I pulled off the bridge. Thank God she survived. I didn’t think it through-none of it. Just wanted you to feel my pain, but it spiraled so bad. Reading what you said, it got me thinking about what I became. I turned into the kind of monster you’d rap about just so you’d see me. And I guess, I needed help all along. You were right-I wasn’t doing any of this for me, for Dido, or our future. I was just lost, trapped inside this idea of you and me being more than just lyrics connecting. It’s stupid, isn’t it? I’m trying to get better now. There’s a place I’ve been going to… therapy or whatever. I still play your music, but I see it differently now. It’s not about you saving me; it’s about me saving me. Your words kept me alive when I thought I couldn’t keep on breathing. I hope one day, if I meet you, it’ll be as a fan with respect, not a man obsessed. If you ever see Dido around, tell her I’m sorry for everything. She deserved better. I’m gonna try to be better too. Thanks for writing back, Slim. I’ll carry this with me, as a reminder that even when things hit rock bottom, there’s still a way up. Take care, man. Stan

[@FINXainarskrastins]

Comedy = tragedy * time And "how far along is she" is the punchline

[@herrzimm]

To think, despite all the controversy surrounding Em, the HUGE pressure of repeating the success of his first album, working around the clock trying to get D-12's album finished AND concert touring for his first album STILL going on..... He comes out with THIS track, something that absolutely cemented his reputation as a "story teller" as well as completely blowing the minds of rap industry "experts" AND audiences on a GLOBAL scale. Even to this day, you can find this track playing overseas on radio stations.

👏👏👏WELL DONE KAREN - great reaction! And YES - please react to Bad Guy next - one of my fav songs!🔥'Stan' is one of the best songs/videos ever made, by any Artist from any genre. Marshall is thee most unique Artist with so many layers - his rhyming schemes, vocabulary, lyrics, flow, subject matter, his storytelling abilities, he's so autobiographical with his material not to mention his rapping skills he's beyong GENIUS!🐐#STAN

[@paranoiaaa4126]

Still my favorite! 🔥🔥🔥

[@josephmodglin3829]

You two are awesome!

[@NinaGray-eq9on]

In ways, songs like this are about peoples misunderstanding of empathy. Whats important when trying to relate to others is about the experiencing (perception) of events and how this impacts. This means that people can experience 'same things' such as divorce etc., thiugh this does not mean it impacts the same. So when it comes to musicians, it doesnt matter how similar we may see life events between them and us as fans, as how these events impact cannot be the same. Further point about experiencing - this, as with perception, is also impacted by previous life experiencing and what the person perceives of these and what they hold onto from them. If people understood this, it would help them in preventing them becoming Stans.

[@reztheninja]

24 years of chills

[@lewisb85]

Thing is everyone in the US thought it was out of character because she was only known for "thank you" etc however, her brother is UK trip hop/hip hop and trance producer Rollo Armstrong, so she collabed with his band Faithless several times over the years.

[@onthebrink1111]

That never happened. "Everyone in the US" Most people never even heard of her. In fact most people didn't even listen to Eminem. I just do not get this making things up revisionist history that occurs on social media. Smart phones were not even a thing at this time. People got their music news from magazines.

[@frizzlethecat2084]

Funny thing - when I heard this song (and watched the video) first, I got and bought a Dido-CD 😄

[@frizzlethecat2084]

I read somewhere that Eminem thought about the concept of this song when he first heard Dido's line "got your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad" and he thought about a fan getting through shitty life with just that idol on their wall to support them. He has that in "Sing when you're winning" and other songs as well and the more I know about Eminem, the more I can imagine how that line might speak to him.

[@danielkarlsson258]

Love Karen's reactions! Keep it up! 👍

[@AngB517]

This is the reason it squicks me out when someone says they stan a celebrity or whatever. I'm like "uh, ok do you know what that term means and where it came from" .. of course I'm like what 5-6 years younger than Eminem and we bought this cd when it came out. Karen you snapped into it fast about how badly Stan was messed up within this. I never took that line as anything more than crossing over a line of obsession not sexual, full on heebie jeebie obsession. I'm sure Em knows what happened to John Lennon, Rebecca Schaeffer, Selena Quintanilla, and likely even Dimebag Darrell. Dido's single is called Thank You.

[@epprez]

Sometimes I hate the phrase stan cause someone of us are super fans but not crazy stans. I have a wall in my house of Eminem archives because I lot his skill, talent, and art. But I dont go crazy over the man himself or wanna hurt me or anyone over him. Great reaction though yall

A curious fact about the song, although it is somewhat silly. Dido named her son Stanley.
