What is the name of Eminem's 2000 album that includes the song 'Stan'?

The story behind the answer

Eminem’s 2000 album that includes the song “Stan” is The Marshall Mathers LP. Released on May 23, 2000, it was Eminem’s third studio album and followed his breakthrough record, The Slim Shady LP.

The album expanded Eminem’s range beyond the comic shock-rap persona that had made him famous. “Stan,” featuring vocals from Dido, is a dark narrative about an obsessive fan whose letters to Eminem become increasingly desperate. The song’s storytelling helped make “stan” a widely used word for an intensely devoted fan.

The Marshall Mathers LP also includes “The Real Slim Shady,” “The Way I Am,” and “Kim.” It became a major commercial and cultural event, debuting with enormous sales and provoking debate over violence, censorship, and artistic responsibility.

Listeners sometimes place “Stan” on The Slim Shady LP because that album came first and established Eminem’s mainstream breakthrough. However, “Stan” belongs to The Marshall Mathers LP, which won the 2001 Grammy for Best Rap Album.
