New Song: Kanye West, Jay-Z, Rick Ross & Nicki Minaj – ‘Monster’

Published: Saturday 28th Aug 2010 by Trent

Here is the 1st song to be lifted from Kanye West & Jay-Z’s upcoming collaborative project. The song, entitled ‘Monster’, features Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj. Give it a listen below:


This track is crazy but without a doubt Minaj completely, utterly and without a doubt killed everybody! Every single line that she spit over the beat was insane. As I’ve said before, when Minaj is featured on a record she truly shines because she somehow builds off the hype of the other acts. If she could somehow capture this same fire for her solo record then I would finally understand the Lauryn Hill comparisons. Monster!

    I actually agree with you Trent. Nicki, & her other identities, were great, finally.

  4. Kevin August 28, 2010

    Man Nicki verse gives me LIFE !!

  6. Robier August 28, 2010

    Until Jesus decends on a cloud wit a microphone proclaiming Nicki’s worth….. she will never be close to lauryn hill and this does not prove it.

  7. drfenty August 28, 2010

    the bish aint no lauryn

    BUT shes trying

    and she was shady as f*** in her last verse…

    its truly a dark time for lil kim fans.

    trina fans were never on the radar

  8. Lala August 28, 2010

    Nicki’s verse >>>>> all the others

  9. HaYYYYYYY August 28, 2010

    omg this was great… amazing
    especcially nicki
    omg she is amazing
    cant wait for pinkfriday
    its gonna be a day in history

  10. PLAIN AND SIMPLE August 28, 2010

    Nicki should have did that song by herself. All the rest of them was horrible

  11. S*** August 28, 2010

    Kanye West promised us 1 song every week until Christmas so he must have been working on countless material over the past year. I see Kanye has gone the more “low Key” route with this new record. its like lyrically hes taking it back to Late Registration but production/beat wise hes still on 808s & Heartbreak/Graduation. Sounds interesting but I still feel like this will be his weakest effort both musically & commercially. This song is generally just O.K for me, Nikki was OK interesting song none the less. Still waiting on the final ‘see me now’ version. 🙂

  12. James August 28, 2010

    f***!! i can’t breathe!! NICKIIIIIIIIIIIIII !!!!!!

    IM A MOTHER F****** MONSTER!! (in nicki’s monster voice)

  13. UGh August 28, 2010

    All up In the Bank with the funny face, and if Im fake I aint notice because my money ain’t

    i’m a motherfucking MONSTER♫♪

  14. Celeb Psych August 28, 2010

    THIS SONG! WHY SO HOT!

    I would love to see Nicki’s facial expressions as she transitions through each one of her personalities. She is interestingly talented. But …..

    Im going to need people to show Lauryn Hill alotta more respect!

  15. @mixedominicana August 28, 2010

    Okay NICKI , baby I see you!! =)

  16. S*** August 28, 2010

    Can someone please tell me where these Nicki & Lauryn Hill comparisons come from??? Im Lost, did I miss something? Anyway, The song is really just OK, I liked Kanye’s part more than Nikki’s. Nikki still hasnt topped her ‘5 star chick’ verses though ‘woo hoo’ comes close. 🙂

  17. “DJ Y2k Malone” August 28, 2010

    omg yes

  18. Mikw August 28, 2010

    NICKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yo I hope her album got these hot tracks….

  19. CHRIS August 28, 2010

    THESE THE LYRICS TO NICKI’S PART:

    Pull up in the monster automobile gangster
    With a bad b**** that came from Sri Lanka
    Yea I’m in that Tonka call it Willy Wonka
    U can be the king but watch the queen conquer
    First thing first I eat your brain
    And I’m start rocking gold teeth and fangs
    Cause that’s what a muthafuckin monster do
    He will dress from Milan that’s the monster do
    Monster Giuseppe heels is the monster shoe
    Young money is the roster and the monster crew
    And I all up all up in the bank with the funny face
    And if I fake I aint notice cause my money aint
    So let me get this straight wait I m the rookie
    But my features and my shows 10 times your pay
    50k for a verse no album out
    Yea my money so tall that my Barbies got climbed me
    Hotter than a Middle Eastern climate
    Finally, Tony Matterhorn dutty whine it (whine it)
    Nicki on them goodies on assignment
    Got these n***** so one track minded
    But really, really I don’t give a F-U-C-K
    Forget Barbie f*** Nicki she’s fake
    She on a diet but her pocket eating cheesecake
    And I’ll say bride of Chucky child’s play
    Just kill another career it’s a mild day
    Besides Ye that can’t stand beside me
    I think me and you Nicki Minaj Friday
    Ping wig thick ass give them whiplash
    I think big get cash make em blink fast
    Look at what u just saw this is what you live for
    AHHHH I’m a mutherfucking monster

  20. Celeb Psych August 28, 2010

    @S*** Irv Gotti yes Irv Gotti said Nicki is the new Lauryn Hill ! She was later asked about his preposterous comment, and you know her bread is not all the way done either, so she agreed.She is talented but a far cry from Miss Hill.

    After re listening the song is cool, sounds unfinished production wise, Kanye verse was the best LYRICALLY! I caps LYRICALLY because Nicki’s first was more ENTERTAINING , which is all good!

  21. hip hop police August 28, 2010

    Wow Kanye you could have came harder on ya own track. I am a big kanye fan and looking forward to his album but lately he’s been slacking to me.

    I need him to bring the college drop out flavor. Give us a message.

    The tracks cool tho Jay and Nicki came hard.

  22. ILOVEXTINA August 28, 2010

    ^^ “Yea my money so tall that my Barbies gotta climb it”*

  23. Lady Gaga’s Invisble Twin Marty August 28, 2010

    Nicki verse just killed the whole song completely(In a good way of course). She held her own against vets. I guess what Kanye was saying about her wasn’t all hype.

  24. ~Team Weezy~ August 28, 2010

    This track SLAYED! They all went hard! This wasn’t Kanye’s best but he still did his thing. Jay really served and his flow was on point too. This is one of the few verses Nicki actually goes hard on lyrically, she always comes hard with the flow, but she actually had great lyrics on this. I can’t wait for this new project Kanye and Jay have! Let’s get it!

  25. NICK August 28, 2010

    THIS IS HOT !!! I LOVED THEM ALLLLLL ! BUT NICKI B*TCH YES YESSSSS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

  26. izzy August 28, 2010

    OMG I LOVE NICKI. LIL KIM JUST SAT HER ASS DOWN. KEYS TOO

  27. Champagne Slurpee August 28, 2010

    Had to fast forward this mess. To damn boring. The only interesting part of this is Nikki’s part. She killed this song. She IS entertaining I’ll give her that. They are lucky she was on this because I though I just wasted time listening to this until I her her come out..

  28. KI KI August 28, 2010

    I loved Jay and Nicki’s verses the most

  29. Lioness August 28, 2010

    I think she went harder than the dudes…but the song is iight.

  30. Lioness August 28, 2010

    lets keep it real….there is a difference from Hot right now and longevity…imma see how her flow is on album 3

  31. thekiddz August 28, 2010

    Wow! Nicki’s verse was from another planet. I really love how “animated” she is when she raps.

  32. T August 28, 2010

    It’s so amazing because it seems as Nicki’s verses get better and better with each song.

    And I just love the ending and how the beat turns real smooth. I just love music.

  33. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) August 28, 2010

    Niki has been doing alright with her collabo’s and yet to deliver on her debute hence will reserve my comment on that. Still not that overwhelmed about this though cuz if it’s not willy, it’s d*** or p****=lil Kim, soz to the stans!
    Niki come on and knock yourself out cuz I’m still waiting..lol!

  34. izzy August 28, 2010

    Nicki Just killed every female rapper. IDC what NOBODY says! Pay Respect to Minaj
    She coming for yall. TEA MINAJ ! #PinkFriday Nov.23rd

  35. Damn Kanye August 28, 2010

    I love the shizz out of Kanye, but as a mature fan, his excessive use of profanity and the word n***** does not allow me to listen to his songs without headphones. I like to listen to music through my speakers, not headphones. However, I don’t want to offend my neighbors with children. Kanye please do better now that you are riding the Rosewood theme.

    BTW, Nicki killed it.

  36. Caitlin August 28, 2010

    Nicki’s verse was good, the others? Boring.

  37. Leesy August 28, 2010

    This is REALLY nice. Nicki, is rawkin’ SO hard.

  38. Moore Neverson Minaj♥ August 28, 2010

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NICKI AT HER BESTTT HANDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
    HATERS LOOK THE OTHER SIDE AND BOW DOWN.

  39. Kevin August 28, 2010

    Just kill another career it’s a mild day
    Besides Ye that can’t stand beside me
    I think me and you Nicki Minaj Friday
    Ping wig thick ass give them whiplash

    Lyrically, its great.

    her delivery makes it orgasmic. #yeahisaidit

  40. Black August 28, 2010

  41. Diane August 28, 2010

    This is what Massive Attack could not accomplish. Go Nicki!

  42. MuzikManiack August 28, 2010

    Yo Nicki straight up KILLED this s***! Can’t wait for her album to drop!

  43. OB August 28, 2010

    Like….oh em gee! Nicki just gave me four different personalities in one verse. Meds anyone? Her verse was ovaaaaaah though.

  44. GLAM_GURU August 28, 2010

  47. CRE8TIVE_i August 28, 2010

    THAT PINNNNNNKKKKK WWWWIIIIIGGGGG PART (NICKI SPITS) DID IT FOR ME…. THAT SHYT WAS HAWTTT!!!

  48. Diane August 28, 2010

    @Black,
    HaHaHaHa, I didn’t think about that, but ur right. Nicki stood aside the greats and killed nem. Next stop: Eminem.

  49. Diane August 28, 2010

    Favorite verse: she’s on a diet but my pockets eating cheese cake. Nicki is clever. Does she write all of her verses? If so, damn….

  50. ILOVEXTINA August 28, 2010

    It was good, flow was crazy. But I’ve noticed she uses a lot of similar metaphors from past songs.
    1. Hotter than in Pakistan/ Hotter than a Middle Eastern climate
    2. She on a diet but her pocket eating cheesecake/ On a diet but I’m doing donuts in the 6-speed

  51. Yellow Gorilah August 28, 2010

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS Nicki Slaaayyyyd!!!

  52. Joseph August 28, 2010

    This song is a MONSTER! LOVE IT!

  53. T August 28, 2010

    KANYE & NICKI KILLED THAT S***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nicki went oooofffff and Mr. West was on his s***, gotta love Nicki!! Jay was ok, Rick was there n Bon,WHO?

  54. Dave August 28, 2010

    The song is lame as hell, but she did slay all them. Dead @ on the artwork her name is bigger than all theirs & at that it’s not even her song. I guess the saved the best for last, literally! Because her name is last @ the bottom & the size of her name add emphasis for who really did the track justice & slayed!

  55. Duh August 28, 2010

    Lmao! Where the hell was Rick Ross? XD

  56. Clos August 28, 2010

    WOW…..I am not surprised that Nicki killed this shyt……I’m surprise that she killed Ye and Hov on the same song!!!!!!!!! Kanye said that she was a bad bytch so he she must have recorded this before he said that! BOWWWWW to the illest Bytch in the game! Pink Tuesday can’t get here soon enough

  57. Fatima August 28, 2010

    You don’t even mention that Bon Iver is on the track too despite being on the single cover? God, I know he isn’t R&B but you think the blog writers could do a little research.

  58. T-sParkz August 28, 2010

    Nicki minaj just proved to me that she is bettah den Lil’Kim but she ain’t on Lauryn Hill level yet!!!

  59. Rican King August 28, 2010

    Damn Nicki Minaj killed this track Like Lil’Kim killed all about the benjamins..This track needs a remix wit the Queen Bee on it..Nicki and Kim need to collab and make a whole album 2gether. RIck Ross needs to be removed from this track asap

  60. carl August 28, 2010

    YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS NICKI GO THE FUCKKKK ORFFFFFFFFF IN THIS BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  61. Taylor August 28, 2010

    I found out from Stephen Hill from BET that they actually made this song six months ago, or nicki’s verse was created 6 months ago.

  62. Taylor August 28, 2010

    and we just found out why nicki’s name is so BIG on the cover lmfao.

  63. Jeff_Turnbough August 28, 2010

    Great song! I love Nicki and IMO she has proven herself beyond Lauryn Hill. Lauryn had one hit with the Fugees, “Killing Me Softly,” and one solo hit, “Doo Wop.” Yes, her album was great, but she isn’t all that to not put anything new out in over a decade!! Nicki is on everybody’s track and she usually makes the song!

  64. trinaFAN August 28, 2010

    NICKI SLAYED SLAUGHTERED AND MURDERED EVERY HATER IN THE BUILDING… THOSE WERE MAAAD SHOTS AT LIL KIM BAHAHAH
    okay yall waaay to far up ye’s and jay’s ass THEY WAS AIITE just AIITE
    and ross that was like 2 seconds… NICKI WAS THE SAVER ON THIS TRACK..
    if they didnt have her it would be complete GARBAGE!

  65. ico August 28, 2010

    Nicki verse just killed the whole song

  66. GangsterA August 28, 2010

    f*** yeah nicki riped that hood whos the queen b****** love her others were oky but rick ross sucks

  67. zih August 28, 2010

    OMFG finally a record that kanye and jay z shines truly on. i mean the beat is insane, the hooks are great and the way they rap are different fresh and so dope. Nicki totally stole the song completely, i could hardly breathe when she raps cause the flow is so sick and her voice is just orgasm.

  68. ~AALEXISR~ THE SUMMER KING (THE BAHAMAS) August 28, 2010

    SHE KILLED EVERYBODY ON THAT TRACK…

    LMAO Just killed another career… Love her lol…

  69. Shan August 28, 2010

    Kim Stan here but Nicki just killed it!

  70. Waddie G. August 28, 2010

    This song should have been credited to Kanye West (featuring Nicki Minaj). Jay-Z and Rick Ross were irrelevant here. I might not like Nicki Minaj, but her verse was the illest of 2010.

  71. Badd August 28, 2010

    Nicki did the DAMN thing !.
    I don’t even like her but she killed it !.
    Hopefully verses like this & not like Check It Out.
    But I have to disagree with Trent even if this
    was her record…the Lauryn HIll comparisons are
    still RIDICULOUS….Lauryn had a real message.

  72. Badd August 28, 2010

    @ Dave.:
    I was thinking the SAME thing !.
    LMAOOO @ her name being bigger.

  73. Areis August 28, 2010

    Nicki killed the track…. im really feeling this one…. this is a hit

  74. Angie August 28, 2010

    Sue me, but just wtf is so great about Lauryn Hill??? Ppl act like this b**** is God or something. If someone can put me on to the songs that make Lauryn so great, then I would appreciate that because I really don’t get it. Sorry.

  75. Badd August 28, 2010

    @ Angie.:
    She was not just a regular rapper that just rapped.
    She rapped about things with substance.
    She had a REAL message.
    Her whole The Miseducation cd was, is, & always will be IT.

  76. (; August 28, 2010

    DOPE! nicki minaj just killed a another carrer with this haa! and her album is gunna be deeper than this and cheeck it out, i think she even has something on pink friday on how his dad tried to burn the house down with her mom inside. if that aint deep you guys are heartless.
    BOWW DOWWN TOO MISS MINAJ!!!

  77. EboThaEgo August 28, 2010

    MAAAAAANNNN This is the verse that has her feeling herself TOO damn much? BOOOO ! Yea she can talk about making her money all day but she’s still a fad. And it is too hard to understand what she’s saying, my head hurts from the different stupid voice changes and tones…UGHHH (Gucci voice)…So disrespectful to compare her to Lauryn Hill!

  78. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) August 28, 2010

    @ ILOVEXTINA, you are top spot on.

    @ Badd, I mean what can say????

    @ EboThaEgo, you and me both…pronto!

    On the whole I’m still not convinced whatsoever as changing tones and voices on one music has already done by lil Kim, Eve and my girl Missy hence no change there.
    Niki, stop using the same metaphors and surprice me to keep me shut forever otherwise I don’t know why you bother slaying other artists when you’re not exactly doing any wonders yet (side eye)!

  79. Tiff August 28, 2010

    I’m not a Nicki fan but I do have to say that she killed it on this verse!

  80. Try Again… August 28, 2010

    Nicki ruined this song, it’s funny how she is usin’ the same recycled raps; talkin’ about how she pulls up with a bad b****, how she gets $$ for her verses with no album out, how she’s on a diet but BLAH BLAH BLAH. You FOOLS love this stuff and have the nerve to compare her to L-Boogie? Stoooop…

  81. Try Again… August 28, 2010

    You fools should feel ashamed sayin’ this was Nicki’s best verse considering half of it she HAS ALREADY USED in plenty of her other songs. HOW SAD that the industry can force feed you this CRAP and you keep askin’ for more…

  82. Darren August 28, 2010

    Nicki Minaj was amazing. the others ruined the song.

  83. NICKI KILLED THAT S*** August 28, 2010

    THE B**** IS BAD! LOL SHE MURKED IT! THIS SONG IS A HIT!

  84. True Blue August 28, 2010

    I’m not a Nicki fan, but yep, she totally made this song. Didn’t even notice the other dudes on this track. However, she still has a loooooooooong way to go before being at L-Boogie’s level. But I like her flow on this song, it’s kind of reminiscent of Missy Elliott during her “Under Construction” era.

  85. Damo August 28, 2010

    NIKKI SMASHED IT

  86. MyWay August 29, 2010

    What are you ppl hearing that I am not? This sound like total bullsh*t! BUT one thing is certain because the song has Joe Camel, the “best rapper to ever hold a mic” and the new “it” girl in the rap world, it will most definitely be placed by billboard magazine and others in the #1 position on the rigged music charts!

  87. NUNYA August 29, 2010

    nicki fans are young girls and gays, sorry to say. im not a fan of hers and if she say some hot s***, id say it was hot but until this chick break records by selling more than Mary J Blige or alicia keys, i dont want to hear s*** about this chick, shes all hype.

  88. Jacob Hester August 29, 2010

    @S*** Irv Gotti called her similar to Lauryn Hill and Nicki agreed and I was like “what?” But after hearing this and hearing how personal she said Pink Friday really will be, I think she just may be like Lauryn. That is, if Pink Friday really is personal and rappin from her is like this.

  89. HUSHBITCH August 29, 2010

    I think i just died.

    *forwards to nicki’s verse*

  90. Damo August 29, 2010

    LADY GAGA fans eh ? all this Monster S***…

    PAWS UP MONSTERS

  91. joe sullivan August 30, 2010

    uh oh … totally falling for nicki!

  92. bigJOHNsen September 11, 2010

    Jay and Nicki murdered it. EEASSSSSYYYYY. WTH was Rick Ross’ part for? He spit like two bars. And Kanye’s verse didn’t go with the theme of the damn song

  93. goonbug October 2, 2010
