WITH THE

BEST LYRICS

of all-time.

#6

STAN

 “…Come to think about it,

his name was...

it was you. 

Damn!”

Eminem's "Stan" has 2 protagonists: himself as Slim Shady and an obsessed fan named Stan. The 2 correspond via letters. By the song's end, the rapper realizes that the fan has killed his pregnant girlfriend and himself. 

It is a disturbing and violent song. The plot twists and builds to its shocking conclusion. Eminem co-wrote it with Paul Herman and includes a sample of Dido's "Thank You".  The track was included on his 2000 album 'The Marshall Mathers LP'.
