One thing about Hip Hop artists is that when they make music it's real and by saying real I mean its passionate, comes from their heart and it is something that causes issues surrounding them. Eminem is a very good example of a Hip Hop artist that raps and writes about things that have happened to them in their life. Eminem's song made in 1999 'Stan'. Stan is about an obsessed fan called Stanley Mitchell who is obsessed with Eminem and writes letters to his idol every day but Eminem does not reply as he is extremely busy. Stanley gets very upsets and sadly commits suicide with his pregnant wife by crashing the car into a lake. The significance of this song is that artists need to remember not to get caught up with living a celeb life and remember that they were once a 'normal' individual. Here is a YouTube video of Eminem talking about Stan. Eminem talks about Stan). What shows the passion about this song is that it was written with the inspiration of Eminem's uncle who committed suicide in 1991.
"you better lose yourself in the music the moment you own it, you better never let it go. You've only got one shot, do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity only comes once in a lifetime"
