My point is Em came up with Stan. I didn't hear anybody calling anyone Stan until Nas did. Em wasn't going around calling people stans. Maybe Nas wasn't the first person to do it. Maybe it was someone online. But Nas made it popular.
Who Deserves More Credit for Making the Term 'Stan' Common in HipHop? Eminem or Nas?

nas calling Jay a Stan was nowhere near as popular as the Stan, song or video.
Nobody said it was. But nobody was running around calling people stans until Nas did.
Ether is truly a classic diss record.
The camel jokes
Making stan and ether an everyday term
Em murdered you on your own shyt rings in my head every time I listen to renegade
doesn't matter. it would've just been another forgettable song if not for Nas. Let's be real here. Part of Em's legacy rests on "Stan", and that legacy exists because of Nas. Nobody remembers "Kim" or whatever songs Em made.
The goat changed Stan from a proper noun to a common noun. Hilarious and smart shyt
Plus Em got the idea for Stan from Nas (One Love). So the cypher's complete
Em performing that song with Elton John at the grammys is a pretty big moment in em career and pop culture though...shyt was big when it happened .It's easily one of his most known songs regardless of Nas.

doesn't matter. pop fans weren't using stan as a term. Nas made it a term

Nas is one of the phoniest rappers next to jay, he might even one up him in phoniness. fukk outta here y'all stay with nas dikk in ur mouths.
Eminem created the word he made the character his song was a huge hit. Nas used the term Stan only because eminem created it everybody truly knows what the word is because of eminem . End of story
