As a listener, I can say that this song is the kind of song that gives me chills, and also the type that inspires me to chase after my dreams. The song is very memorable because it is not only one of Eminem’s most famous, but it is also critically acclaimed as his best. With all of the instrumentation going on the song sounds much more full, giving listeners a much more atmospheric environment within their headphones. This gives the song a more rap-rock styled feel, and due to that Eminem is able to build up to the hooks nicely. The lyrics are incorporated into a very original rap beat, as unlike most rap beats the one in “Lose Yourself” contains electric guitar and other samples common to rock music. The song is very positive and has a “you can achieve anything” attitude, which I am very fond of. “Lose Yourself” is no exception to these opinions, as I think this song exemplifies Eminem at his best, performance wise and lyrically. Eminem’s delivery is unlike any other rapper I have ever listened to, and I also find his rhyme schemes to be very original. I personally love the song, and love the rags to riches theme Eminem carries with him. The hook focuses on a theme similar to the first story, as Eminem is describing how you can’t give in when the going gets tough, and how you must “lose yourself” in the moment in order to fully make it meaningful. He wants to grow up, leave 8 Mile, and he has never felt as ready as he does now. In this verse Eminem talks about how he is finally feeling the confidence to take the stage and make a name for himself. The third verse is somewhat of the final battle cry of the song. Eminem discusses how he feels like he is distant from everyone, and how he feels that making it in the music business is the only thing he has left to work for. The second verse focuses more on Eminem’s home life, as he talks about how things at home are only becoming harder. He talks about how you must maintain your composure and never miss an opportunity. ![]() Eminem references the feeling you get inside as your knees get weak and the crowd becomes so loud that you can’t hear your own thoughts. Eminem is describing the feelings he gets before he takes the stage, and the nervousness that comes with performing in high-pressure situations. The song Lose Yourself starts out with one of the most famous verses in rap music. The movie features a character named Rabbit (played by Eminem) going through the struggles of living in a terrible neighborhood, performing in local rap battles, and dealing with opposition and enemies. Eminem wrote the song for the motion picture 8 Mile, which is a story based on Eminem’s life before signing with Dre. 4.The song “Lose Yourself” is an anecdote written by Eminem, as it describes his transition from living in a trailer park on 8 Mile in Detroit Michigan to becoming a rap superstar and signing with Dr. ![]() More than 20 years later, many still use the term “Stan” to mean a diehard fan of something because of this song’s impact. One of the heavier and more emotional tracks in Shady’s discography, the song remains enormous in popular culture. Including an autograph, some advice, and words of encouragement, Eminem puts two and two together and realizes that Stan is the person he saw on the news after the fan’s murder-suicide. Growing increasingly angry as Eminem fails to write him back, he eventually goes berserk, kidnaps his girlfriend, and commits murder-suicide.Īs the track ends, Eminem finally gets around to writing Stan back, showing genuine interest in the man’s girlfriend and little brother. Told as narration over several different letters, the fan – Stan – admits to changing his appearance and attitude to match Eminem’s. “Stan” tells the story of an obsessive fan that tracks nearly every move Eminem makes. Stan serves as a calling card that helps to show how introspective and emotional Shady can get. ![]()
