At the start, it wasn't alcohol he poured on his head, it's peroxide... it bleaches your hair. He did it to look like Eminem. I know because my brother would use it when he was really into Blink 182, and he wanted that super blonde spiky hair that a lot of their fans seemed to love. It would burn extremely bad if it got in your eyes though, so yeah, he's crazy rubbing it all over his face.

I firmly believe Eminem to be one of the biggest drivers of change in talking about mental health and considering the effects of mental illness. I'm a psychologist, currently training to be a psychotherapist and to me, his portrayals of mental health issues are often as educational as they are entertaining. One of the first tasks I was asked to carry out when I started studying psychology at university was 'Define Intelligence, and do not turn the page until you have a concrete definition'. After about half an hour of wracking my brains coming up with a 'catch-all' definition, I turned the page.... and discovered there is no unanimously agreed upon definition. I say that to say this: IQ tests, while they are a reliable predictor of self-reported and objectively apparent lifetime success, are not necessarily a measure of intelligence (in terms of how 'smart' somebody is). Eminem, academically was an underachiever. I'm not sure what he'd score on an IQ test but I would guess it would fall short of genius level (roughly 142+). When you juxtapose this with his undeniably brilliant artistry, in words, acting, storytelling, communication marketing, poetry, philosophy, culture shaping and composition (among many other things), the only conclusion is that he is one of the greatest minds to ever grace the earth. So my point is that Eminem is probably the best example I've come across (and I do look for these things) of the invalidity of IQ tests in measuring what is colloquially referred to as 'intelligence'. While it may seem comedic to some to suggest it, I place Eminem's effect on his contemporary culture to be similar to other great historical philosophers, T.S. Elliot, Cicero, Plato etc. - and while it may seem comedic to some to place a 'rapper' in this company, take heed of the argument I made above and answer honestly: is this a collection of three geniuses and a 'rapper'? Or is this simply a collection of four geniuses? I rest my case.

The folklore is that In The Air Tonight was about seeing some guy watching someone drowning and not helping and then seeing him at a concert. In reality it was about the breakdown of his marriage. Should be followed by "I Don't Care Anymore " by Phil Collins.

Yes, you pronounced Dido's name right. As much of a frightful feeling this clean edit provides, the uncensored version is another level. And yes, this song came out in 2000.

Bad guy is part 2 of this song. Another genius story telling song with one of raps greatest ever verses on it

first, you are right about pronouncing Dido's name. *Fun fact* the course of this song is a sample of Dido's song "Thank you." that Eminem heard on the radio and then coalbed with her for "Stan". Bonnie has a few references. Bonnie (of Bonnie & Clyde) was a couple that was notorious bank robbers. Eminem has a son called 97' Bonnie & Clyde. Eminem has called his daughter Bonnie because he would do anything to protect and take care of her. The Ronnie that"stan referenced in this song was Eminem's uncle whom both introduced Em to rap and took his life. Both EM and Ronnie were close in age and had a relationship almost like they were brothers. The death of Em's uncle's suicide greatly affected him in a way that was the fuel to really pursue rap seriously. Rawkus was a record label called rawkus records, which Eminem was a part of before he met Dre. In the uncensored version of stan's last verse, the screaming is from a 9-1-1 call of a woman being murdered. the kid that play's Matthew(Stan's bother) is Nathan, Eminems real life brother.

I will add one that I don't see anyone mention. The Journalist Jane Yammamoto that reports the incident is the same one in the "Forgot about Dre" video but they misspelt the name. (Jane Yamamoto) 😂😂

Fun Fact Dido's part was actually sampled from her original song "Thank You" and believe it or not it's actually more of a positive song so Em was able to take one lyric of that original and turn it into a depressing story, and Dido was on board with it so it turned into a feature even though it was really sampled

Fun fact; Eminem was actually getting letters like this from fans in real life & he was fed up & it inspired him to write a song about it

I remember unwrapping this cd and sitting through the whole thing. This song came on and I was glued to it. It felt like I was watching a movie.

The chorus is performed by Dido, her song "Thank you". She is in the video as the pregnant Stan's wife.

There was loads of bands outside of hiphop talking about mental health during and way before that, country, heavy metal, indie. You could go back to the 40s with hank Williams, the 60s with the beatles, the 70s with the who, the 80s with Metallica, the 90s with pearl jam... the list goes on and on.

Miss the days when the internet wasn't so censored, it constantly gets worse and ruins content.

He created the term. Made the name Stan have two meanings saying he's a stalker fan which is basically used so much nowadays.

The guy in the video is Devon Sawa. He was an A list actor for several years In the late 90s and early 2000s. The 1st thing I member was some movie with Jonathan Taylor Thomas and they were making a wildlife documentary back in like the sixties. He was in the movie Idle Hands With Seth Green and Jessica Alba. And more recently he was in the movie Final Destination. I think hes a decent actor I've always liked him.

He is a great storyteller, but there are lots of rappers out there that are just as good. Slick Rick, Gift of Gab, Aceyalone (check Book of Human Language), Chali 2na, to name a few, and there are loads more. Also, rap was very much storytelling back in the late 80s. Beastie Boys with Paul Revere. Fresh Prince told loads of stories with his raps. Young MC. They were all about the stories. Eminem is top tier for sure, don't get me wrong, but there are a lot of others up there with him.

So Dido's part (the hook) is the first verse of her own song called, "thank you. "

Eminem wasn't just controversial, he's the reason why there's parental advisory stickers on albums, seriously.

The chorus is from Dido's song "Thank You". Eminem heard it and the first thought that came to his mind was an obsessed fan. He has always been a genius storyteller.

Youve gave the best explanation ive heard of this song. Damn lol just gained a new sub💯 keep up the great work👏🏻

When you realize Devon Sawa is stan actor also the kid from little giants and your friendly ghost Casper movie. And the very first final destination movie. And Dido original son is called white flag. Eminem asked her to sample the chorus from her.

Underrated reaction and review ❤

Awesome reaction. I've seen this video a couple dozen times. Never noticed Stan shows up in the window as MM is writing him back and Stan's little brother has bleach blonde hair. Genius lyrics and video

The cycle does continue with the brother in a later song called Bad guy. The brother named is Matthew and coincidentally someone named Mathew broke into Eminems house a few years after the song Bad guy.

Stan is played by Devon Sawa, was in Casper, Now and Then and a lot of other good movies ❤

I love that you addressed mental health. I agree completely.

What’s really genius about the Phil collins lyric is that it fits the mega fan in that it’s a rumor that someone started. In the Air Tonight is actually about Phil’s relationship with his ex-wife.

Appreciate this one. It gets to show the genius of his creativity. Hopefully you will enjoy. I knew you were a great pick!!!

I usually don’t like when reactors stop the video a lot but you like break it down piece by piece I love that ❤

Stanley poured peroxide, not alcohol over his head to turn his hear blonde. Rawkus was a record label Eminem made song prior to sign with Dr. Dre. Ronnie was is uncle who committed suicide. Bonnie as in "Bonnie & Clyde" which Eminem made into a song where his baby girl Hallie Jade is the Bonnie to his Clyde. Mental health songs have been around since atleast the sixties from songs that I can recall listening to but one of my favorites is REM's "Everybody Hurts." Check it out if you've never seen it. It hits home so much more now after what so many people have been going through since the CoVid pandemic struck

Bonnie is a reference to the track 97 Bonnie and Clyde that he has his daughter on, talking about killing Kim.

Haven't heard that one in a while 🤣 love your channel

If you want to listen to the sequel to this song its called "bad guy"

Bonnie is a reference to one of his songs called "97 Bonnie and Clyde" (refering to him and his daughter)

Merci pour ta reaction !

The guy playing Stan is devin sawa. He was in Casper, and the first final destination movie

I have watched quite a few of your videos. Your singing voice is really good. You may just sing some examples but from what I have heard it is almost perfect pitch. I am absolutely no expert, but I have played violin for 15 years and people say that is an instrument that reps the human voice the best. This may mean nothing to you, which I understand especially from a random person, but your singing voice is just so good! Its so on key!

He was the star of final destination, the first one where he gets the premonition that the plane is going to crash. I agree he did a phenomenal job as "Stan" in this video and dido was great as well and her singing and lending this hook to this song when it was part of another song of hers. Im 45 now so i grew up in the glory years of hip hop and im so thankful for all the amazing artists that changed my life and inspired me in healthy ways , well healthier then Stanley here that's for sure. My two favorite artists are Nas and Eminem but I have a long list of amazing rappers from 90s ans early 2000s hip hop when it was selling more records then any music. Bone thugs N Harmony broke a very long beatles record for most singles sold with Crossroads. This was before the internet downloading and streaming days where you had to save your money and head to sam the record man or sunrise or hmv to get your favorite cassettes then came CDs and i got into hip hop still in cassette stage but CDs were creeping in and N.w.A albums and ice cube when he went solo albums were like 45.99 labelled imports lol. I miss those days just blazing and listening to bone thugs or Mobb Deep, Big L and may many others. But great reaction to a timeless song that actually got the term stan in the dictionary

Great reaction!

Really sorry to hear about your childhood, glad you are free and exploring life, creating content now!

20 years later that kid starred in a movie called the Fanatic where he played a movie star that got stalked by an obsessed fan

Britt is really good at critically listening and de-constructing things. :-)

The cycle did in fact continue you’re smart enough to realize that’s even a possibility. The song Bad Guy is the continuation when your ready to see the next part.

Stan was played by Devon Sawa. He was a teen heartthrob actor back in the late 90s-early 00s. First thing I remember seeing him in was Casper. He played the human Casper at the end of the movie.

*@**16:28* when lightning strikes you can see *Stan* appear in the window looking in on *#Eminem* This was so censured you missed a bunch, *he had his pregnant wife tied up in the trunk & **#Eminem** read a story about them being found dead after he drove off the bridge* When he's in the car making the tape he's tellin *#Em* what he did to his wife. That she's in the trunk & he did worse to her then what *#Eminem* portrayed on his Infamous song*(Kim*)

"His name it was you, Damn" Great endind.

If im not mistaken, the "bonnie" reference was because in eminems song "just the 2 of us" eminem called him and his daughter bonnie and clyde as they were dumping kims body off a bridge(brutal song tbh) i could be mistaken but it just adds up considering stan did something similar to himself

Em had a song called '97 Bonny and Clyde, about himself and his daughter

the melody of this song pops in my head randomly

Britt you are absolutely 🔥 ❤ Eminem put Stan in the dictionary. This is one of Eminem’s best storytelling songs.

I don't know if this actor got any rewards but his acting lead to the term "Stan" being the word to describe fanatical fans. That is the ultimate respect for the song and the portrayal by the actor.

its all good we got your back

You really had good parents growing up.Your mom and stepdad were great parents.

The lad is an actor and you might of seen him in the first Final Destination film. Epic video and such powerful lyrics...one of the best

It really brings me down to hear such a heavily censored masterpiece...

If you like stan and the imagery you should react to "darkness" off the music to be murdered by album. Both the song and the video are amazing

"Now will the cycle continue with his brother?" Lol. That's one way to put it. Please react to "Bad Guy" by Eminem. I think he made it 13 years after this.

Loving all your reactions so far!! Please keep it going! I'd love to see your blind reaction to Ren. His song is called Hi Ren and it's a modern day masterpiece. He was hospitalized, misdiagnosed and eventually sent to a pysche ward for almost a decade before being properly diagnosed. Tragic!! During recovery he started playing music again, hence his numerous vids with him in the hospital. Super profound stuff that I believe you'll appreciate. Thanks again and cheers from NC!!

Bonnie is a reference to the Bonnie and Clyde song on the first album. Him and his daughter

This is not a scripted story, it really happened and Em made a song for it. This is a true story!

Dido's album is awesome too. (On a mental health note, you should react to "Hi Ren" by Ren. Great song about internal struggles with Ego and Id.)

The first artist I remember talking about mental health is a verity of ways was the geto boys in 89/90 those albums are worth exploring

At the end when he realizes it was him and the thunder crashes, the reflection in the window next to em is Stan looking right at him
