Eminem stan which album

Twenty years ago this week, Eminem released The Marshall Mathers LP , his first album since becoming the most famous rapper in the world. It did not lack for noteworthy tracks. But one song in particular stood out as a unique chapter in his discography. Against a moody Dido sample softer and prettier than his usual beats, Eminem unfurled a narrative about Stan, whose admiration for Eminem evolved into an unhinged obsession. It climbed to a respectable 51 on the Hot Eminem performed it with Elton John at the Grammys in a half-baked attempt to ward off complaints about his homophobic lyrics.

Critics loved it. It also sometimes mutates into a verb. All fan groups are prone to exhibiting stan behavior, but it particularly thrives in the pop realm thanks to its vast scale and built-in hero worship. Stan communities often skew extremely young , becoming outlets for the kind of intense fanaticism that thrives among adolescents. This can be a good thing: Standom provides a sense of belonging for people who might otherwise be isolated.

It can also be very, very bad. People have been coming together online to celebrate their shared interests as long as the internet has existed. At first, fans cultivated online communities via message boards, email discussion groups, and other walled-off social networks.

But the rise of modern stan culture correlates with the rise of social media. Platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr allowed these fan brigades to forge more personal connections with their faves and to spill over into the wider discourse, flexing their collective muscle in service to their idols. Often this means functioning like unpaid online street teams, enthusing about new releases with gifs, memes, and elated rhetoric while flooding social networks with reminders-cum-demands to StreamRare or whatever.

These coordinated campaigns sometimes yield tangible rewards on the charts — just ask Lil Nas X, who built up a large Twitter following as a Nicki Minaj fan account and then marshaled the power of social media to launch his own mega-hit. But stan enthusiasm tends to take a darker turn when someone falls short of absolute obeisance.

Nicki Minaj exhibited Queen behaviour when she hopped in my DMs and insulted me numerous times over an innocent music opinion while her fans continue to harass me and DM me death threats. This is NOT okay. But those were widely circulated reviews at prestigious outlets like Pitchfork and NPR.
