Eminem crafted the track as a response to unsettling emails he got from his fans, and “Stan” served as a cautionary tale for his supporters, urging them to understand his songs symbolically rather than literaly. The tune also included vocals by Dido.

4. The Real Slim Shady 

Without a doubt, this track was Grammy-worthy. It hails from The Marshall Mathers LP, an album that immediately gained legendary status upon its release.
