Pokimane has a lot of creative fans. But now one of them was particularly resourceful and dedicated a love rap to her.
- Twitter user SamStrake composes his own interpretation of Eminems' hit single.
- The song received a large number of views within a few hours.
- Pokimane reacts to her fan's musical confession.
Eminem and Pokimane ? How does that fit together? A fan has bothered to show how you can combine the two and confesses your feelings towards the Twitch streamer in the same breath - with a creative implementation of a classic from the year 2000.
Eminem cover to confess love to streamer Pokimane
Already in 1999 Eminem had a commercial success with his first song " My Name Is ". The hip-hop artist is still considered the most successful rapper in the world . To date, he has released over 81 singles, 11 studio albums and 63 music videos - including all number 1 hits ! He is a lot more successful than even the largest German rapper Capital Bra, who recently caused a serious fan run with a mistake, as reported by ingame.de * .
One of Eminem's best known songs is his hit single " Stan ". With over 275 million views on YouTube, the desperate confession of an obsessed fan is one of his most successful songs. It is only logical that there are countless covers now. Recently, however, a Twitter user caused a sensation, who took on a parody of the Eminem song and composed for a well-known Twitch streamer .
Streamers Pokimane get their own version of the classic Eminem
He dedicated this to a person who was "very special" for him. Namely the no less famous Twitch streamer Pokimane . Not only did he take the trouble to set the entire song to music and make a suitable music video for it , Twitter user SamStrake also rewrote the entire text , creating a fan message for the 4 million subscribers Pokimane, which placed them 4th in the Top 10 most successful streamers in 2019.
The content of the rewritten Eminem single screams with exaggeration of any kind . SamStrake shows the striking humor in the first lines, in which he claims: "I watched 100,000 hours of your stream." At the latest now it is clear that the Eminem cover is just a parody and not a serious message to Twitch streamer Pokimane.
With Eminem cover for Pokimane: SamStrake quickly generates more than 100,000 views
Given the huge reach of streamer Pokimane, it is difficult or almost impossible to ever connect with the 23-year-old as a fan . The streamer receives hundreds, if not thousands, of messages every day and therefore has no way of responding to everyone. In order to get to Pokimane, a special message must be sent.
But even the experienced Pokimane had not expected such an extraordinary campaign as that of SamStrake. After just 48 hours , the eminem parody directed at the streamer cracked 360,000 views on Twitch . It should also be said that the fan in love - also a streamer by the way - currently only has 14,000 followers. In relative terms, his homage has accumulated a huge amount of clicks.
The hook of the Eminem homage once again illustrates the " love " for Pokimane :
"Your stream's offline, I'm wondering why, I'm logged into Twitch at all.
You go live in 6 more hours, but God that seems so long.
Although we should meet, I would be okay with a picture of your feet.
Please say my name. I subscribed with prime, subscribed with prime. "

- SamStrake (@SamStrake) January 27, 2020Impressed by the work behind it, Twitch streamer Pokimane spoke personally on Twitter in his post. Not only does she praise her creative fan in the highest tones , she then showed the short clip to her viewers in the stream.
Senpai approves!
I figured if you saw this you'd either find it hilarious or immediately file a restraining order. No in between.
The biggest German streamer MontanaBlack had to endure a similar crazy fan homage recently. As reported by ingame.de *, a fanatic supporter tattooed the face of his idol on the arm. During a day together with DSDS winner Pietro Lombardi, the Hamburger showed his incomprehension about this questionable homage.
Not so musically, but no less interested in music, a Twitch streamer shows up during a live stream, just stupid that he notices too late which song he is currently dancing to.
Streamers Pokimane and fans are convinced of the Eminem cover
SamStrake has actually managed to reach Pokimane using his Eminem cover. Dry, as his humor seems to be, he additionally replied with " I thought if you saw this, you would either find it funny or get an injunction immediately ".
Basically, you can say that Sam has achieved an impressive implementation . He also copied the end of his own interpretation of the Eminem hit almost 1 to 1 and applied it to streamer Pokimane. In conclusion, SamStrake raps that he is tired of paying so much attention to her without ever having received an answer and starts in the same breath a first line about his new crush Amouranth - also a streamer on Twitch.
Such a song is a nice thing for the streamers. However, many fans go a completely different way to impress their idols and send this fan mail. Streamer xQc also received a large amount of fan mail again, but when he opened one of the packages, it was terrified.
