"Stan" was Eminem's scariest song, because for already the abhorrence seemed real. Anchored by a sample from Dido's "Thank You" (which became a hit itself), it followed an bedeviled fan who acts out Em's fantasies. "He's crazy for real, and he thinks I'm crazy, but I try to advice him at the end of the song," said Eminem. "It kinda shows the absolute ancillary of me."

Appears on: The Marshall Mathers LP (Aftermath/Interscope)
