EMINEM is a global megastar, thanks to a great career as a rapper.
One of the songs that really stands out in his back catalog is Stan's tragic story. Some fans are wondering if it is based on real-life events.
Is Eminem's Stan a true story?
Eminem'sStan was a big hit with the rapper, featuring vocals sampled from the opening line of thesinger Dido'ssong.
Released on November 20, 2000 as the third single of the rapper's third album, The Marshall Mothers LP.
This song is the story of a person named Stanley "Stan" Mitchell, who claims to be the biggest fan ofEminem's, and when he thought he was ignored. It tells the length. Rapper.
The tragic story was not a true story, but according to Eminem, Stan was conceptual and the result of his imagination following his experience and interaction with his fans.
The name "Stan" has been suggested to be a combination of the words stalker and fan, but it is unclear if the name was chosen with that intent.
The name of the character bearing that name was enthusiastic, enthusiastic, too obsessive, and coined the slang term for celebrity fans.
Who is in the cast of Stan's music video?
DirectorDr. Dreand Philip Atwell, the video is a literal interpretation of the story.
The video features Devon Sawa as Stan and singer Dido as a pregnant girlfriend. The
prologue involves Stan dyeing his hair blonde and reacting angry to what his girlfriend calls "Stanley."
Then he sits in a basement full of Eminem posters and writes a letter expressing his dedication as "your (Eminem's) greatest fan."
He wants Eminem to contact him by personal letter or phone, but due to unfortunate circumstances, the letter does not reach Eminem in a timely manner.
Believing that Stan was ignored, he used his tape recorder to record himself driving a rain-wet highway while his girlfriend was trapped in the trunk. To do.
Then the car broke through the bridge barrier and killed both Stan and his girlfriend.
Eminem finally set about responding to Stan's letter, apologized for his delay, thanked him for his fans, and showed an interest in Stan's private life.
Eminem is worried about Stan's mental state and says he doesn't want him to look like what he recently saw in the news-a man drunk from the bridge with his girlfriend in boots.
Then he realizes it was Stan and says the famous line: "That was you. Damn."
