Who Deserves More Credit for Making the Term 'Stan' Common in HipHop? Eminem or Nas?

[Kill Dat Noize]

if nas coined the term stan then does that means cacs invented rock n' roll?



edit: holy shyt the poll is dead even

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Not only did Nas make "stan" what it is now, he also popularized "getting murdered on your own shyt."

But let's not act like "Stan" isn't a classic track.

 

[AkaDemiK]

Nas

Stan is a character in a Em song. Nas is responsible for making it an insult.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Em easily

If Em never made Stan, Nas would have never used Stan

 

[Flav]

Well Nas gave it it's definition so I think he did more.

How did Nas give it the definition when Eminem made the whole song detailing on who Stan was.

Nas called Jay Z a Stan. A black version of a crazy stalking fan from Eminems song.but Nas gets the credit?

 

[Mr.Logic]

Nas...
Arrested Development made "Mr. Wendal" which was a very popular song and a CLASSIC, but ain't nobody calling bums "Mr Wendal"...

Just like you can't give English people credit for the way the word "Lit" is currently being used in Hip Hop...

Eminem named his character Stan

Nas called Jay-Z a stan which is what people use today

I wrote this YESTERDAY in another topic...

Mr Wendal

Every time i see a old homeless black man with gray hair I think of him. Sometimes I sing the hook to the song in my head.

I know I'm not the only person.

rappers make songs about people all the time and nobody turns it into a common noun.

nobody says "she's a Renee", "you're a troy", "you're a Brenda".....

I dunno why some of these posters are playing dumb Then again, it's Em. And cacs need any reason to root for one of their own

And what is a "Stan"?

 

[Tflasha]

I would assume that Nas is the reason why most of us started using it the way we do

The only reason I fukked with Eminem's track is because of the Dido sample

you a hoe 4 that!!! but you aint never lied tho!!! Dido gave em a Segway with that sample




























"Tea's gon cold I wonder if I, got out of bed at all"

the falling raindrops on my window, and I cant see at all"PIFF"

 

[CHICAGO]

50/50 EQUAL CREDIT.

WE WOULDNT HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER.

You're either trolling or not that smart

 

[Lord Mecca]

Em easily

And what is a "Stan"?

Im a Nas fan but you nikkas is bugging.

And please, explain what a Stan is for real.

Eminem painted the perfect description of character in a multiplatinum selling single that Nas used in his diss a year later.

When Nas said it, nobody had to Google the reference, therefore it's impossible for Nas to be credited with its popularity.
