Kanye unleashed "Monster" last Friday to kick off his G.O.O.D. Music Friday series. Is it a world class collabo or hot trash with no mojo? Here's my take on "Monster."

Thanks for the review
power remix >>>> Monster , I guess
Rick Ross was irrelevant in that song. But what about “Teflon Don”? Why didn’t you make a review? I believe it deserves.
get serious how old is this news. update please.
Seems like a decent collaboration. Jay Z seems like the biggest factor in this song.
Good review. Thats exactly what I was thinking.
And Rick Ross’s verse made me LOL, he basically called himself fat and then ended it.
So this reviewer didn’t like Nikki’s verse. Well that makes sense being that he loved JZ’s. J came with that same old tired murder rap crap, and the same tone with no energy. For god’s sake, he starts by listing fictitional monsters for way too long without even doing so to the beat. It’s like he rapped before he even heard the beat! Nikki spat alongside the beat so well it was nearly impossible not to bounce to her, and she delivered the creativity that this reviewer resents because he’s so used to monotoned JZ. J was the worst thing on this track!!
sorry to be picky, but this isn’t the first rap song with the word “sarcophagus” in it.
Immortal Technique: “Or challenge what the market is/
With militant caucuses/
That’ll smash the spirit of Hip Hop out the sarcophagus”
…That is the worst review I have ever had the displeasure of reading.
First off, this is one of my favorite songs. I love the beat, and most of the lyrical content. If your going to review a song you might want to actually LISTEN to it first.
Second, I liked Rick Ross’s verses but I didn’t understand why he was only on the track for less than 15 seconds.
Third, Kanye’s verses were ok, I didn’t really get into any of them, except for the end.
Fourth, Jay Z did exceptionally well. I’ve never heard him rap as well as he did. But he was not the shine in the song to me.
Fifth, Nicki blew my mind. I don’t know what song dude was listening to but I was listening to one where Nicki Minaj was just spitting hot fire! She was way better than Jay, in actually rapping and sticking with the beat.
Overall I love this song and deeply disagree with Jay Z being the best part of it. When I turn this on I forward it straight to Nicki.
