Hip-Hop Slang 101: Stan

Stan

Slang: Disparaging.
Based on the Eminem song of the same name. An overzealous, delusional fan.
This is one of my favorite slang words/insults. Very appropriate for a music blog or message board. A stan is that fan that loves everything an artist does, even if it's garbage. Ironically, very often associated with fans of Eminem's protege 50 Cent who refuse to admit that the quality of his music has declined drastically since Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
Typical Stan behavior includes constantly defending your hero's most garbage offering, faithfully slandering and ripping on any artist seen as an adversary or threat to your favorite artist, and waiting outside in the cold for two hours just for the opportunity to take a picture with your obsession and have him/her put their hand on your shoulder.
Excerpt from Stan:
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
We waited in the blistering cold for you,
four hours and you just said, "No."
If you or someone close to you is a Stan, get help. It's never too late to come in out of the cold. :)

Classic.
It's an insult? I took it as a bloody compliment ;)
You are the first one I've seen use it though, you took my Stan virginity!
democlez:
I know it was low, but it's just so much damned fun making fun of her. :D
Anna:
Don't worry, dear. You'll always be my favorite Stan.
Besides, judging by the comment counts on your posts, I think just about all of us could be considered Anna Stans. Which would make you a Queen among Stans.
Isn't that the truth. This is Anna's world... we just comment in it.
I know a 50 cent Stan, LMFAO.
You mean besides Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo.
I feel as if I need to upgrade on my rap slangs..........is it ok to say this post is dope?
I'm a Killer Mike stan.
It's only because I pay people to spread rumours that I MOG naked.
R-to-the-K, I think it's safe to say ANY post I make is dope. :D
Frost, yes you are definitely a Killa Kill Stan, but there are worse artists to be stans for.
Anna, that makes it even worse because Kev actually DOES mog naked and he's still flying below the radar. :D
ahahhahahahhah
Once again, having tits pays off.
