    Gotta credit Ether for that

    Before Ether, Stan was just the name of the guy from Eminem's song.

    Nas used it to describe another person

    Ether, Renegade, and Stan all became a thing in the early 2000s

    Nas and Eminem had an unspoken pact

    Ether/Stan/Renegade

    All 3 terms were coined as a result of Nas' diss track

    Ok I see what you're saying now

    song is pure magic

    I mean Id say for the time/era it is. The term "stan" is now used as slang and a colloquial term in dictionaries today.

    Its an entire subculture in itself. Ahead of his time tbh.

    Nas and Eminem had an unspoken pact

    Nas birthed them all with Ether, that’s the craziest thing

    In that one song, Ether self explanatory, first use of Stan in the slang way, and popularized the narrative that Em killed Hov which led to “renegaded” being a thing
