The moment you became a Stan.

[Hopsinshadie]

fan from his first song ever tbh. Thought he was crazy and I related to him and dyed my hair. At the time everyone was dying their hair.

When I bought Relapse in '09.

[Kill You]

When I heard The Monster.

[Wego]

One word from the end of one song. 'DAMN'. That shit sent shivers down my spine, not only Eminems realisation but my own realisation that I was listening to something special. I had listened to SSLP but never fully got into Em until I heard Stan. DAMN. I paused the cd and went mellow for a good 30 minutes, just sat in my room in pure and utter shock and amazement. Kill You then Stan to start MMLP.. i had to pull myself together to continue listening. DAMN.

When TES and 8 Mile came out

[slimsoxshady]

Born a Stan tbh

[UnoDeuce]

Brother blasted TES all the time when it came out but I was ~6 so I didn't get into Em then...then in 2010 I heard Not Afraid on the radio and was like "I remember this dude" and went and bought Recovery to check him out. It was after Christmas so I has about $100 worth of ITunes gift cards and bought Recovery, Relapse, and Encore and listened to basically every song, thought he was the greatest rapper ever. Imagine my reaction when I actually got to TES, MMLP, and SSLP. Woooooo boy. That was about 3 years ago and basically I'm full Stan now. So when I tell people Recovery got me into Eminem they're like

[yoda you can call me]

good thread.. my friend had sslp and he'd brought it round mine but unfortunately, coz i was heavily into dance music back in my early teens, i didn't really get it...when em released the real slim shady single, i was still against it and i would sing "would the real slim shady please fuck off" ..

but one day i randomly put one of my sisters cassettes tapes on, and on that tape where the tracks, kim and stan, and i was fucking blown away, by the intensity and the storytelling. i'd never heard anything like it in my life.
then i had to know everything about this dude, i went to my mates and got his sslp off him, then someone brought me the marshall mathers lp and we had that shit on repeat for ages..plus through em i went back through the history of hiphop starting with dr dre to nwa and branched out to everyone..

so ironically the track, stan made me a stan

[skc_]

when a friend got me the mmlp (around the time it came out). Only listened to pop until then. Didnt even know who eminem was before, totally missed SSLP.

[Him Shadow]

Since I first time heard his song, I was watchin' some music charts on TV and they played Stan. I was 8

[Jimmy Conway]

I don't really consider myself one. I consider a Stan a really obsessed fan. And I've never really been that. You could argue that I am because I'm on this site every day looking for a leak.But I would be online anyways, just on different sites.

I was really into him a lot from like 2000-2003. But I never really did anything Stan like, I just enjoyed his music a lot.

I downloaded everything I could find off Napster, I wanted the MMLP so much I asked a parent to go to the cd store and get the cd as soon as the store opened so I was sure to have it.


But I've went long periods of time without listening to em and survived.
