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
@Goo that's crazy that Ether produced three literal words...lol
I never thought about it like that.

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
