when eminem sampled dido’s ‘thank you’ for ‘stan’ in 2000, instant classic. fun fact: eminem literally invented the word "stan" now used to describe obsessive fans. it even made it into the dictionary. that’s real impact.

He didn’t “invent the word Stan”. He used the NAME Stan in the lyrics, to tell the story of an obsessed fan. This is lazy and dumb. Be better.
Dido found out Eminem sampled her voice when she got a CD in the mail with a note saying "I like your song." She played it in her hotel and was shocked. 🤔 Fun fact: She actually had no idea who Eminem was when it happened! Did you know?
This was epic still is such an eerie tune just hits you hard
Best storytelling song of all time
What a lovely morning to wake up to. I'm a big fan of Eminem and Dido. By the way, Dido's "white flag" is a timeless classic.
Nas used it first as an adjective.
That's not just impact, it's linguistic legacy. Fascinating!
He didn’t invent the word Stan Stan was the name of the psychopathic die hard fan It was fans that adopted the name as a word to mean die hard fan because of the song
this is like the wigger national anthem
Ironic ...
the goat 🐐
@avery2200999 it’s the same girl who did that song I sent you a while back… 😉
I was today years old!!! Holy Hell! I never connected the dots re STAN!!
Genius choice. Dido has an unbelievable voice!
stalker + fan = stan
He did a lot of what became successful
People and being loud and wrong. They think the character’s name was “Stan” only as in “Stanley”. It’s a cross between Stalker + Fan, stop being a continuous disappointment to your family. 🤦🏽♀️
He sampled who??? Nah just playin
🔥
I used to bawl my eyes out to this song 😭
Fun fact: Devon Sawa as Stan, Dido as his girlfriend, and the original 8-min MV was way too dark — bleach scene, driving into the river... got censored hard! 😱🔥
Why can’t we have the full video?!

Its a shame her beautiful song had his shit tossed into it.
Rap God 👑
The Best-selling artist of the 2000s. One of the GOATs of Hip-Hop!
Eminem is one of the best to ever do it.
