He said all that needed to be said. Stan is a masterpiece, not just in hip hop, but music history.

keviinn will come thru drippin w knowledge everytime love his energy

[MassMissery]

Eminem a lot of times almost didn’t make it into the rap game because he was white. Also I have no idea how he survived rapping in Detroit for so long back then without getting shot. He faced a lot of racism but earned everyone’s respect through how talented he was and still is til this day. Like KXNG Crooked said if you take color out of the conversation and go based off skill alone he’s still in the top five.

"Idk but he in there tho" that had me dying laughing

[TrayneTracks]

Huge Stan and huge gates fan but this just made me love him even more! That’s one solid ass dude right there, never been afraid to speak the truth even if it’s not what some people wanna hear. Salute 🫡 sir

When trying to instigate beef goes horribly wrong, should be the title of this video.
