Feb 24, 2015 90% of people know/use or are familiar with that phrase. What other phrases are that universally known? Even if you don't know who Eminem is, you've likely heard the words "guess who's back". Thug life? f--- the police? Smoke weed everyday? "Guess who's back" is "Get to the choppa!" status.
Feb 24, 2015 Oh please, someone says "Guess who's back" and the first thing that comes to mind is "who?"
Feb 24, 2015 Don't forget Stan too. What an iconic song. Em from 99-02 was the biggest celebrity in the world.
Feb 24, 2015 in 2002 he was bigger than the beatles. in 2015 he's bigger than jesus. he really could get away with anything
Feb 24, 2015 'Stan' is the single most infiential biuzword em has ever created It will forever be used now as a phrase for any over zealous fan.
Feb 24, 2015 ^^ This. If I heard someone say "Guess who's back" today, my mind wouldn't even go to Eminem.
Feb 24, 2015 it would go to the person asking the question, and to me asking "who? did my parents come back early from vacation?"
Feb 24, 2015 I mean, look, if hearing a fairly common phrase reminds you of Eminem, that's great, even if it does say something weird about how your brain is wired. I think the impact of Stan is undeniable, everyone uses that for all artists in hip hop. But to say that "Guess who's back" is somehow an incredible phrase that Eminem mainstreamed or something is stupid as f---. To say that Eminem contributed this phrase to society is just weird. People said it before him, they will say it after him, and the overwhelming majority of people will not have a thought about Eminem when they say it, any more than even something less common like "I've created a monster."
Feb 24, 2015 yeah it's not like marshall is to this day making grammy winning songs about the monster on (also grammy winning) albums he's still saying guess who's back on or anything then again you probably don't give a d--- about a grammy
Feb 24, 2015 The word "stan" is Eminem's greatest contribution. That, or encouraging an entire generation to spew homophobia and general hate towards society.
