Like the rest of the world, I was introduced to Eminem when his “My Name Is” music video premiered on MTV’s Total Request Live in January 1999. From then on, I was a massive fan of the rapper also known as Slim Shady, and it stayed that way for quite some time. So, when I found out that his new documentary, Stans, was going to be available with a Paramount+ subscription, I made sure to check out the exploration of his career and those diehard fans of his.
Little did I know going into the documentary, but I would leave the experience with a whole new perspective on Marshall Mathers, his music, his career, and the legions of stans that have dedicated so much of their lives to one of the greatest rappers of all time. What a journey it was…
