There's no doubt that "Stan" is one of the best songs Eminem has ever released. It's a heartbreaking ballad about an obsessed fan, and Dido's vocals fit the song perfectly. The production is top-notch, and Eminem's rapping is some of his best. The song is incredibly moving and powerful, and it's easy to see why it's one of his most popular tracks.
My uncle bought me Eminem's second album, telling he feels that this guy is the next Bob Dylan. My parents didn't know what the concept was. And this album has a lot of rude stuff, and when you're 9, you kinda learn it. This album has such a fast pace of words in it, that it turned out to be a speech therapy that cured me. (16 m 05 s)
