Essay about the song Stan by Eminem
Stan is a hip/hop song by the American rapper Eminem. The song is about a guy called Stan, who’s insanely obsessed with his big idol Slim, also known as, Slim Shady who’s Eminem’s alter ego. Through the song Stan writes several letters to Slim to get in contact with him, but Stan never receives an answering letter back from Slim. It ends up with Slim putting his pregnant girlfriend in the trunk of his car, with the purpose of driving off a bridge to commit suicide. Stan is drunk while he’s driving and he’s at the same time recording a last tape, which he wants to send to Slim. He says on the tape that he’s driving 90 mph, which is about 144 kilometres per hour. Just before he gets to the bridge, he realises that he won’t be able to send the tape to Slim, if he drives himself and his girlfriend off the bridge, but he realises that too late, and drives off the bridge.
