The Marshall Mathers LP 2 track 'Bad Guy' is the sequel to Stan. It is also included on Curtain Call: The Hits, performed with Eminem and Dido as well as track 17 on Curtain Call: The Hits as a Live Performance from the 2001 Grammy awards featuring Elton John. He knows just about all of Slim ShadyвЂ™s past like his childhood, saying he is just like him in a way I never knew my father either, Stan even got a tattoo of EminemвЂ™s name on his chest, a man he has only met one time and he put his name forever on his chest, Stan mentions that his girlfriend is jealous of Eminem because he talks about him 24/7. One of EminemвЂ™s best-known songs and biggest hits, Stan details a fanвЂ™s descent into dangerous obsession through his letters to his rapper hero. Ive been hearing rumors from friends and other people saying the song was real and there was an obsessed fan who wrote to eminem when he first got big with his Slim shady Lp but Eminem 'supposedly didnt care about his fans then' and the fan killed himself. Stanley Mitchell (Stan) is an over obsessed fan about Marshall Mathers (Eminem) mentioned in the song called Stan. 'Stan' is the third single from The Marshall Mathers LP, by Eminem featuring Dido. Stan also tells Eminem that he is his biggest fan and he mentions in verse two that his little brother and himself waited in the cold for four hours in the blistering cold just for an autograph but I think he did not just wait there with his brother, we waited there for himself to just to get close to Eminem because he is obsessed with him.

Stan is extremely obsessive in the beginning of the song he dies his hair and is trying to actually become Slim Shady, even his outfit and style are the same as Slim and is screaming in his girlfriendвЂ™s face because she keeps calling him Stanly when I would imagine he would want to be called Slim, or Eminem, or Marshal, and just the fact that you would write not one but multiple letters, as he mentions in the song, to a celebrity in the first place is just a bit weird and obsessive in a way because he is so obsessed with just wanting to talk to the person that he is writing letter to this person that he has met only once before in his lifetime acting like he has known him for years and even sees Eminem wave on his TV and he waves back to him! Stan also has his basement walls covered with pictures and posters of Slim Shady and his music. Derek Robertson is a contributing editor to. When you think about it, a lot of Eminem's songs are about his personal problems as well as society's problems. First I agree the Stan part means ST as in stalker and AN as in fan, symbolism of Stan. However if you analyze the overall meaning it's really brillant. The song вЂњStanвЂќ by rap artist Eminem fits the dramatic monologue format popularized by Robert Browning, because in EminemвЂ™s song, Stan fits all of the characteristics of the Duke in My last Douches. The Eminem-coined slang term is unexpectedly useful shorthand for a weird new social media-driven politics. It is very morbid and no doubt one of Eminem's most controversial songs.
