Eminem CREATED THE WORD "STAN" Appreciation Thread

[OnlyInCalifornia]

As a Nas stan and someone who doesn't care for Eminem all that much I do find it funny you guys think Nas made the world up.

Clealry Eminem did because if Nas just randomly called Jay-z a 'stan' with out the actual song then it wouldn't have made sense, at all. The fact that it does tells you who created the word. No one associated 'obsessed weirdo fan' with the name 'stan' until there was an actual song called 'stan;

 

[Digga38]

It was just a name he picked for his character in his song

Gnauceer invented the term as its used now, as a description for crazy/unrealistic fans

Marshall lost

 

[WheresWallace]

Nas sampled the name cause Em was using it wrong.

I don't even fukk with Em, but when you think the word Stan, you think the Eminem song.

If ya'll gonna give credit to Nas for Stan, give credit to Em for Ether.

He says he spits ether:

 

[JuvenileHell]

Nas was the one that made it part of the Hip Hop lexicon, to mean obsessed fan. Same thing with Ether, which means to comepletly own someone

 

[Digga38]

Nas flipped it yall hate giving the gawd credit

If ya'll gonna give credit to Nas for Stan, give credit to Em for Ether.

He says he spits ether:

Motherfukker... You do know this is from Xzibit's 2002 album, while Ether dropped in 2001, right? SMH @ you "tryna re-write history ass nig*as'...

Even if it were true, it's incomparable. Nas made an adjective of the name Stan. Em used the word 'Ether' in the same context as Nas did.
