Eminem's "Stan," released in 2000 as the third single from The Marshall Mathers LP , is widely regarded as one of the greatest storytelling tracks in hip-hop history. The song explores the dark side of celebrity culture and the tragic consequences of obsessive fandom.
The final verse features Eminem finally writing back, only to realize mid-letter that the tragic news report he saw earlier was about Stan himself. Production and Collaboration Eminem - Stan Lyrics [audio]
Stan's letters to Eminem (Slim) grow increasingly unstable as he details his struggles with depression and anger over unreturned mail.
The song is a fictional tale told through four verses, primarily in the form of letters written by an obsessed fan named Stanley Mitchell.
In the third verse, a drunken Stan records a final tape while driving his car off a bridge with his pregnant girlfriend in the trunk.
