LOS ANGELES, Calif., Oct. 14, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Will the real Stan please stand up? Before James \u201cSlim Jimmy\u201d Guiltinan knew that Eminem\u2019s \u201cStan\u201d had become a dictionary word defined as a sort of super, but sometimes obsessed fan, he\u2019d written one of his first two rap songs, as an Eminem \u201csalute.\u201d The slang definition of “stan” likely originated from Eminem\u2019s song and music video \u201cStan.\u201d<\/p>\n

At first, James referred to his song, \u201cThis Time and Then\u201d as a \u201ctribute song\u201d to Eminem, but later learned that the term was reserved for the deceased. So he coined a new phrase “salute song.” James now suggests that he could be the real Eminem “Stan,” but not of the obsessed or crazed kind of stan, an example of which might be the recent intruder into Eminem’s home. The Detroit rap artist’s music helped to get James through a dark period in his life.<\/p>\n

Having only played trumpet in high school during the seventies, and new to rap writing and producing, James had assistance from Los Angeles rapper Solid Savage who recorded and co-wrote \u201cThis Time and Then.\u201d James originally didn\u2019t want to charge for the song, as he felt it would cheapen the \u201csalute.\u201d His distribution service required a minimum price for streaming distribution, but James has made “This Time and Then” available at no charge on SoundCloud. James’ Kickstarter campaign serves to create a complementary product (the accompanying music video) to further the Eminem salute.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Slim Shady’s “Stan” song and music video features a Stan character who ends up accidentally or purposely killing himself in a car accident. While James admits to being suicidal during his struggles, and perhaps saved by in part at least, rather than troubled by an absence of writing back, Eminem’s music.<\/p>\n

\u201cEminem\u2019s music gave me encouragement, because it talks about struggles that Slim Shady experienced during his life, which I identified with,\u201d James says.<\/p>\n

After losing his job two years ago and living out of his van, which was after losing his family’s house and getting divorced, James took up songwriting to finally try his hand at the creative arts. At first, his lyrics were essentially poems. After ordering two songwriting books, James got a little better at the craft. He also remixed the background music he selected for \u201cThis Time and Then\u201d after taking a class in Logic.<\/p>\n

During his two years of being homeless, James has written and produced seven hip hop and one R&B tracks. Most of the work on his songs, including the cover artwork, writing, and background (\u201cbeat\u201d) music selection was done using a cell phone, after his MacBook was stolen.<\/p>\n

\"James<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWrigley Field,\u201d a sequel to \u201cThis Time and Then,\u201d is a playful rap song, where James comes to Slim\u2019s \u201crescue\u201d by providing a warning to \u2013 in good fun only \u2013 similar to a diss track \u2013 Machine Gun Kelly, regarding MGK’s Eminem diss (disrespect) song. James views \u201csalute\u201d songs as being the opposite of \u201cdiss\u201d songs, and he hopes they become popularized.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimilar to the Stan in the Eminem song and music video, I DM’d Slim on Instagram, but didn\u2019t hear back,\u201d James says. \u201cHowever, he may have given me a lyrics wink in one of his songs as \u2018Gilligan.\u2019 Of course, I can\u2019t know for sure. It\u2019s just close to my last name, and I also used ‘Gilligan’ in my “Wrigley Field” lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Time and Then\u201d and \u201cWrigley Field\u201d are available on streaming platforms under the artist name “James Bernard Guiltinan.”<\/p>\n
