20 years later, the word stan is now use to describe super crazy fan accross the world.

This song gets 10 times better when you really pay attention to what Stan is saying about his life. One of the best lyrically made songs in history. Hits different

This is what put Eminem on another level from other Mc's

This song isnt only some music its a story it could actually be a movie

OK, but this song actually want me to almost cry or something like that this is my first time hearing it in full

I’m Russian and I have listened to this track for 340327273838 times and I just like how it sounds and I’ve never understood the meaning of the song. But now I’ve been learning English for months and I read this lyric and I think I got the meaning of the track. I feel powerful emotions. Now I understand why Eminem such a famous person. Please don’t judge me for my mistakes I did my best. Have a nice day y’all ------- O my God people thanks a lot y’all. You are the best of the world. I mean it. Сам в ахуе шо задвинул телегу на английском и получил такое количество ответов. А ещё и понимаю кто о чем лялякует хахахах. Из России с любовью. 🇷🇺🇺🇸❤️

It makes you wonder... How many times has this happened? Not just to Em, but to other musicians

The beginning is one of the best introductions to a song ever

“I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive” Hit different after I realized the reference.

When he says “I hope your conscience eats at you and you cant breath without me” I get the chills

Listening to this on a rainy day is just, 🤌🔥, perfect.

2:44 the echoing "bad" is a really interesting choice here. in my eyes this is the point where it's revealed that stan is a little more than just obsessed, he's unhealthily obsessed. it's causing problems to himself and those important to him, like his wife. it's almost like she's admitting it IS that bad.

Eminems a forever legend ❤

love this song

When you listen to this realize that this is a very sad story about his life

How we played Marshall Mathers played Cd (Yeah I said Cd ) over and Over back in the good old days! Gen Z we had a blast to these tunes - don't let this Classic or any other Classic Hiphop die ,Listen ,Dig Deeper to find more and Enjoy so much good Music from yesterday!

This song hits different ❤

Rainy day+windy+cozy+feeling the nature💨✨

R.I.P. DJ Mark "The 45 King" who produced this and is also a true f*cking Hip Hop Pioneer

This goes deep

Stan could of been a good lyricist

Eminem's max level (so good)

That lyrics hits deep down!!

This hit is Outstanding!! Eminem is talented a lot. Wish you success in your way!!

My tea’s gone cold I’m wondering why I. - Çayım soğudu, neden ben merak ediyorum. got out of bed at all - hiç yataktan kalkmadım The morning rain clouds up my window. - Sabah yağmuru penceremde bulutlanıyor. and I can’t see at all - ve ben hiç göremiyorum And even if I could it’ll all be gray, - Ve yapabilsem bile her şey gri olacak, but your picture on my wall - ama duvarımdaki resmin It reminds me, that it’s not so bad, - Bana o kadar da kötü olmadığını hatırlatıyor, it’s not so bad. - o kadar da kötü değil.

I’m writing all of Stan’s letters to send to my friend in the military that we used to call “Not So Slim Shady”

I love this song its goes together pefectly and the like emotion and shi he put in it he put effort in this fr

23 years later still hits on me.

R.I.P. to the 45 King. This song wouldn't exist without you.

Am I the only one that heard this song on yt shorts and didn’t realize it was by Eminem😅😅

Greatest song ever

that made me cry, i had never heard the song but i cried

Thos song is sad 😢❤

This is so good I forgot Stan was Eminem

Remember this, don’t just listen to the song cause it sounds cool, listen to what the singers are saying

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad [Eminem as Stan:] Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still ain't calling I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em There probably was a problem at the post office or something Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em But anyways; fuck it, what's been up? Man, how's your daughter? My girlfriend's pregnant, too, I'm bout to be a father If I have a daughter, guess what I'mma call her? I'mma name her Bonnie I read about your Uncle Ronnie, too, I'm sorry I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam I got a room full of your posters and your pictures, man I like the shit you did with Rawkus, too, that shit was phat Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan This is Stan [Dido:] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad [Eminem as Stan:] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance I ain't mad - I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew That's my little brother man, he's only six years old We waited in the blistering cold for you For four hours and you just said, "No" That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fucking idol He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you You would write back - see I'm just like you in a way I never knew my father neither He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her I can relate to what you're saying in your songs So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on 'Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7 But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does She don't know what it was like for people like us growing up You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose Sincerely yours, Stan P.S. We should be together, too [Dido:] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad [Eminem as Stan:] Dear Mister I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans, This'll be the last package I ever send your ass It's been six months and still no word. I don't deserve it? I know you got my last two letters; I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive? You know the song by Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" About that guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him? That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning Now it's too late. I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall I loved you, Slim, we could've been together, think about it You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me See, Slim,-shut up bitch! I'm trying to talk! Hey, Slim, that's my girlfriend screaming in the trunk, But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up. See, I ain't like you 'Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die, too Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out? [*car tires squeal, crash, loud splash*] [Dido:] My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray, but your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad [Eminem:] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I've just been busy You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she? Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that And here's an autograph for your brother I wrote it on the Starter cap I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists, too? I say that shit's just clowning , dawg C'mon! How fucked up is you? You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some And what's this shit about us meant to be together? That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other I really think you and your girlfriend need each other Or maybe you just need to treat her better I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doing just fine If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but, Stan Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan I just don't want you to do some crazy shit I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to Come to think about it, his name was... it was you Damn!

The fact that this is a true story gives me chills
