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)
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.
