New Song: Eminem – ‘The Monster (ft. Rihanna)’

Published: Monday 28th Oct 2013 by Rashad

Rihanna delivers one of her most impressive vocal showings yet aboard the chorus of ‘The Monster’ – her latest collaboration with top-selling rapper Eminem.

As fans recall, the duo dominated the charts with their 2010 smash “Love the Way You Lie”, but now it seems the two are ready for a redo.

Acting as the new single from Em’s forthcoming album ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’ (in stores November 5), tuck in below to weigh in on the new joint from Em & Ri.

Is it a good follow up to ‘Lie’ or does it pale in comparison:

    Girllll, another Psychotic duet with these two n** cases.

    • Yep! October 28, 2013

      It slays!

      • beyawnce October 28, 2013

        B**** you stan for that flop LETS NOT FORGET

    • FutureCIARA October 28, 2013

      It has commercial appeal, But sounds just like the last number they did together… It gives the same energy and feel, This is not fresh nor innovative, but very repetitive and reductive.

      #DevilWorshippers

      • KANYE KARDASHIAN October 28, 2013

        FUTURECIARA –

        You never used that word “reductive” before Madonna made it famous…don’t act like you know big words all of sudden…has your album sold more than 207K yet???

      • FutureCIARA October 28, 2013

        Kiiii, The girls read you before I could.

        Have a seat in the back row!

    • KANYE KARDASHIAN October 28, 2013

      Has Future’s and Ciara’s latest album sales combined reach half of Unapologetic’s sales yet? People who stan for flops don’t have the strength to throw shade at anyone.

      • Molly October 28, 2013

        B**** does it matter Ciara had the biggest r&b record of the year.

      • LOL October 28, 2013

        LOL NO, ANYONE WITH KARDASHIAN IN THEIR NAME DON’T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO THROW SHADE AT ANYONE LOL

      • Mark111 October 28, 2013

        1) Ciara last 4 albums haven’t even sold half of Unapologetic.
        2)Even Kelly out sold Ciara and I think the higher seller is one of those reality TV chics.
        3) How’s any of those Ciara and Fecal Matter duets doing?

  3. TRUTH October 28, 2013

    Idk kinda basic and forced to me.
    But then again with all the recent music out now its no surprise.Gotta be grateful for something i guess

  4. Arie October 28, 2013

    Well the Beyhive can expect that first single next year now because this is gonna be no1 for a while.

    • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

      Not even Beyonce is too much of a p**** to drop that single it will flop hard

  5. Mother October 28, 2013

    Yessssssssssssssss another smash hit!!

  6. beyawnce October 28, 2013

    YESSSS MY FAVES KILLED IT

    • Oh Baby(B****** Will Deal) October 29, 2013

      the bish stole the melody of Beyonce’s Runway!

  7. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* October 28, 2013

    I’m Going To Be Honest, I don’t Like It, Maybe it Will Grow on Me later, But I don’t Like It at The moment.

    3/5

    It sounds like “Roar” To me In Specific Moments.

    • PopSCUM October 28, 2013

      good thing no one cares for your thoughts

      • *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* October 29, 2013

        bad thing you lie, I see you already did. :mrgreen:

  8. HOTSTUFF October 28, 2013

    The more time pasts Rih voice gets better, she knows how to use it better etc….love this !!! so refreshing after all the trash that was released recently.

  9. Dreamlover October 28, 2013

    Welp. Once again Rihanna killed it. No surprises here. #thatreign

  10. KangBey October 28, 2013

    I am a Bey stan for life, but I will give credit where credit is due. Why the hive waits on album 5 from Beyonce’ it is clear that Rihanna will have her 13th number one hit. This has number one written all over it and radio as well as the fans of EM and RIH will eat this song up like candy. Well done NAVY 🙁

    • Yolo October 28, 2013

      Why do you need to compare?

      • KangBey October 28, 2013

        cause Bey is supposed to be slaying my life right now not RIH, that’s why h**

      • Yolo October 28, 2013

        Girl bye. Fake shallow ‘fan’.

    • Ann October 28, 2013

      r u sure u r a bey fan?

      • KangBey October 28, 2013

        yas I love Bey, but I’m tired chile! Tired of the trolling from ha….love Bey like my sistah tho. But that heifer gone get replaced soon tho

    • Third Ward Trill (aka quetta) October 28, 2013

      You are no fan of bey. This song is straight trash but you’re right about one thing the fans are going to eat this up. Em fans are already in love

    • KING B October 28, 2013

      I agree that it’s a good song and will go number one and I love it honestly but no reason to put B in it!, i know she’s gonna slay when that single comes out no need to worry the KING is good!

  11. Molly October 28, 2013

    Its ok Rihanna sounds nice… It will do great on radio. #ThatsAll

  12. KANYE KARDASHIAN October 28, 2013

    any female could’ve been singing the chorus and it will still be a hit = Beyonce, Gaga, Pink, Katy, Kelly Clarkson, Alanis…I can hear them all on that track.

    • RIHVNNVNAVI October 29, 2013

      Wonder why those females weren’t called though.

  13. Molly October 28, 2013

    And I won’t be surprised if this goes number 1 they both have strong fan bases.

  14. Gilberto October 28, 2013

    I find it boring and uninspired. It feels like they tried too hard to make it as catchy and radio friendly as possible, but they failed miserable. The song is catchy and I see it doing well on radio, but it is neither impressive nor memorable. It lacks of an identidy. Basic song for basic b******.

    • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

      It’s one thing to have an opinion, B**** how dare you call the Navy basic where is Beyonce on the charts??

  15. Navy Nick October 28, 2013

    sounds good, I am here for EMINEM, but this era, IDK what is going on…I liked BZERK, but the people didn’t…

    • ONIKA MY QUEEN OTHER B****** TAKE A SEAT> October 29, 2013

      people are here for rihanna… and even with her verse they couldn’t make this something to remember it’s boring.. whatever #over
      #shitSTOPSnow

  16. Barb B**** October 28, 2013

    Why is Rihanna continuing to duet with this known domestic abuser when she claims DV herself? #Idontgetit #MustbetheD

    • Jeff October 28, 2013

      Yes the world knows that this dude is the REAL WOMAN ABUSER. Rihanna is so full of s*** and between you and I no real man wants to wife Rihanna. She claims DV when in every chance Rihanna gets she singing with a real Women Beater. Word is that all the industry men who f***** Rihanna are coming out telling Chris that they were f****** Rihanna while she was with him. Oh and that song is awful.

      • HALF AMAZIN October 29, 2013

        lol the delusion about celebrities personal lives is real

  17. La Perra October 28, 2013

    13#one

  18. JOHNVIDAL October 28, 2013

    So we are supposed to believe Eminem is this big bad boy so true to his roots and everything but at the same time he makes these songs which are pop? I mean, the chorus by Rihanna is wack pop for a big rapper like Eminem. If he didn´t need some of her singles charts popularity to have a few hits (I´m talking about singles) he wouldn´t do this. He´s a strong album seller in the USA anyway so… I guess none of this matters to his ever loyal fans ready to kill sane people for him.

    • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

      Why are you always so negative? You mad mariah is no where to be found?

  19. Barb B**** October 28, 2013

    And this song is NOTHING SPECIAL at all.

    • Molly October 28, 2013

      Like majority of nickis song shes been on this year that made no type of impact

      • Barb B**** October 28, 2013

        You stan for Ciara, the one who used Nicki on ImOut >>>> Gurl Sit _/

      • Molly October 28, 2013

        And I can admit im out was trash cici should have never made it a single.

      • SLAY ME GODNIKA October 28, 2013

  20. Bey Fan October 28, 2013

    Radio friendly….not my cup of tea.

  21. mekaela October 28, 2013

    Why is kanye and kim with future and his husband to be stan on rihanna post gtfoh

  22. Yolo October 28, 2013

    YAWN, people are just making music for the charts these days. Not being creative with it or because they love MUSIC as an art. They love the charts. Nothing more or less. This is basic.

    • Teacher October 29, 2013

      B**** just because it’s catchy doesn’t mean it’s not creative!

  23. TheTruth October 28, 2013

    Love the way was a lot better… Truth.

  24. My Forehead Tho October 28, 2013

    *double checks calendar*

    While adding those goat ad libs into the chorus was brilliant, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard it being done, the song sounds dated. It’ll definitely chart-thats a fact; However, unless they plan on traveling back to 08, I don’t think the song will be #1.

    • Teacher October 29, 2013

      That new Beyonce calendar came in handy didn’t it!?? LOL B****!

  25. Monica Fan October 28, 2013

    Boring. Heard it all before.

    • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

      Who the f*** is Monica??

  26. #Beyindependent October 28, 2013

    Its cute i guess… its better than any single GaGa and Katy put out thus far but um Rihanna and Eminem are getting kinda repetitive you know like J.lo & Pitbull repetitive kiiiiiii b**** this tired s*** will be lucky to make top 20 tbh.

    @Navy & @Csquad To you two delusional stans bases i need to know why “What Now” & “Overdose” are flopping so hard yall swore these songs would slay and end careers but i dont see it happening. All i see is the STRUGGLE! LOL

    • Dreamlover October 28, 2013

      I think a lot of what you say is right…but Rihanna’s music catalog is one of the most diverse and edgy in pop today, so you can’t say she’s generic at all. Just listen to all of the styles incorporated onto Unapologetic or Talk That Talk.

      • Teacher October 28, 2013

        It’s a Beyonce fan..all it knows it ghetto hoodrat anthems! It doesn’t know any better!

      • Yolo October 28, 2013

        Not you talking about ghetto hoodrat anthems when you stan for strip clubs and dollar bills, suck my cockiness lick my persuasion, and love it when you eat. I guess you forget about Dangerously in Love, Speechless, Love On Top, Resentment, Flaws and All, Satellites etc

      • Dreamlover October 28, 2013

        Haha I guess we can give both girls a break for having ratchet anthems in that case…Who cares, they’re fun to listen to!

      • Teacher October 28, 2013

        @YOHOE Girl Bye! 90% of Video h** Beyonce’s discography is ghetto hoodrat anthems! Those six songs you names are probably the only exeptions loool B****!

      • Georgie October 29, 2013

        Lies @Teacher. Too many to list.

  27. LA LA October 28, 2013

    RIhanna sounds like the girl that sings “Calling All The Monsters” on Disney Channel.

  28. Monica Fan October 28, 2013

    Waits for the Navy to scream about how this will go to #1. The song is still dry and lacklustre. You people stan for charts too much.

  29. LOL October 28, 2013

    LOL ONCE AGAIN QUEENHANNA CRANKS OUT HITS WHILE FLOPONCE CRANKS OUT CALENDARS LOL

    AND QUEENHANNA IS GONNA SNATCH MADONNASAUR’S HAIRPIECE WHEN THIS BECOMES HER 13TH #1 LOL

    • #Beyindependent October 28, 2013

      B**** please Beyonce will slay tf out that goat once the single drops.

    • Monica Fan October 28, 2013

      Keep stanning for the basic charts. The song is s***.

  30. Monica Fan October 28, 2013

    And why is it ok to include Rihannas features as her #1s but not other artists? The Double standards.

    • Teacher October 28, 2013

      B**** hush! Being featured is one thing….being a totally and completely diff act is another!

      • Monica Fan October 28, 2013

        Oh so you know what Im talkin bout? And b**** that’s BS, who created that theory? Its not your song so technically its the other persons #1, not yours. And at least in a different act its YOUR act still, you’re still featured birdbrain.

      • Teacher October 28, 2013

        Like I said H** Hush! There’s no need for you to even discuss it cuz we ain gotta worry about Monica’s baby poppin ass toppin anybody’s chart within the next 10 years! That b**** been done! And don’t bring up old stats cuz they’re irrelevant just like ya ghetto hoodrat ass fave! BYE S***!

  31. #Beyindependent October 28, 2013

    Honey she ain’t getting no 13th number 1 from this song nor what now. thats the real kii

    • Dreamlover October 28, 2013

      Beyoncé stans can literally never shade someone on the basis of their ability to get number ones. The real kii is Beyoncé has been struggling to see the top of the charts for the past three years.

      • Yolo October 28, 2013

        She only struggled from ONE era. But she doesn’t release an album every year you see.

      • #Beyindependent October 28, 2013

        B**** ill say what tf i want. Bey dont have to have a hit when her tour outsells Rihanna

  32. #Beyindependent October 28, 2013

    And since when did Monica have stans?

    • Monica Fan October 28, 2013

      Since BeyoncE learned the art of stealing: A LONG TIME.

      • FutureCIARA October 28, 2013

    • Third Ward Trill (aka quetta) October 28, 2013

      Get off monica

  33. xedos October 28, 2013

    than rihann voice just take over and dominate a song like no other

  34. pat October 28, 2013

    welp haterz…this is at least another top 5 for rih….nice vocalz

  35. Heavy Metal Lover October 28, 2013

    Couldn’t even get all the way through I almost fell asleep. You could’ve got any female to sing Rihanna part.

    • Teacher October 28, 2013

      But he got Rihanna so……you mad or nah?

      • Heavy Metal Lover October 28, 2013

        Nah thanks Rihanna can keep the guy who raps about raping women, smacks his woman about constantly sounds like her needs a high dosage of anti-depressants.

      • Teacher(Beyonce’s Gummy Ass Smile) October 28, 2013

        You mean kinda like GaGa needs to snort a line to function? Or…..?????

      • Heavy Metal Lover October 29, 2013

        Is a rihanna fan shading with drugs? The jokes write themselves.

  36. BeyIsKing October 28, 2013

    It slays. These two together are absolute perfection.

    • Biting Truth October 29, 2013

      Nope.

  37. RDK October 28, 2013

    This is really a Monster bumboclat tune,Em and Riri went in,and anyone says it an’t so is a mof-cking hater enough said.

  38. Stop the drama Start the music October 28, 2013

    Nothing special. But ppl will probably be here for it just cuz of Rihanna’s voice.

  39. Navy Forever October 28, 2013

    Dumb haters this is a #1 hit in the making Rihanna will tie with the legendary Micheal Jackson with 13 #s and be the ONLY the second woman (and BLACK woman) with the most hits…Where is Beyonce??

    • Stop the drama Start the music October 28, 2013

      We’re haters just cuz we don’t love the song? Calm ur f****** tits.

    • Biting Truth October 29, 2013

      LOL…this song is garbage. To be expected though because all of Rihanna’s music is trash. Eminem lowered himself to work with that no-talent.

      • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

        No Talent?? Like your fav? Or your momma…where is ciara??

  40. mc the place to be!! October 28, 2013

    It’s straight it’ll chart well

  41. QUEEN MINAJ October 28, 2013

    SLAY MY LIFE RIHANA

  42. #IndustryPussy October 28, 2013

    Yasssss snatching wigs hunty YASSSSS ::frantically waves finger:: I LEEEAVE (LIVE)!

    my halloween costumer this year: NAVY STAN

    song is bleh and her voice makes me want to blow my nose and od on nasal decongestants.

  43. Flowerz October 28, 2013

    Nothing special, repetitive and boring like I expected it to be.
    Em retire your flow is tired,Ri you might have your stans fooled but the computer was working overtime to cover up those notes you were missing..
    Even if this becomes her 13th number one,it means nothing when your label buys your s*** to get it there. No artist post the 2000’s has truly earned an #1 based off of airplay as it should be. This digital era got people who have no talent winning..

    • Stop the drama Start the music October 28, 2013

      Ur right. But Diamonds deserved to be number 1.

  44. rih rox((U mad Bro?))(( staning for H20’s previous rant)) October 28, 2013

    I love it.

  45. Mya October 28, 2013

    Boring boring boring.

  46. Kim (Beyonce/Rihanna fan) October 28, 2013

    The song is a hit, Rihanna+rappers=always good, i remember @S****** Blonde loved Eminem.

  47. Mark111 October 28, 2013

    It’s car riding radio music. It’ll do well, but I’m not really into it. I’m a fan of Rihanna, not so much of Em and lately he hasn’t been making sense with his raps. I think the drugs got the best of him.

    Anyway, how’s Team BeatMe doing? lol

  48. Third Ward Trill (aka quetta) October 28, 2013

    I don’t like it. Its boring..I had to skip through the damn song and I started zone out..these 2 can do better

  49. christinastherealtalent October 28, 2013

    I dont know what reign yall been talking about because aint nobody been checking for Rihannas ass ever since Miley started flashing her snatch. Rihanna only had 2 successful singles from her previous album, her tour got s***** reviews, getting booed at her shows for showing up late, and releasing the worst video ever of that ratchet song Pour it Up. Let me check instagram to see if she still reigning kitty snatch there.

    • Third Ward Trill (aka quetta) October 28, 2013

      Lmao @ “still reigning kitty snatch”

    • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

      Bionic

  50. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) October 28, 2013

    My body can’t take, this is a total smash. Another monster hit, these two are magic together.

  51. Loyalty October 28, 2013

    This is so safe and predictable. I stopped three quarters of the way through. And Eminem’s flow is just so blah now. But I do prefer it to LTWYL though.

  52. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) October 28, 2013

    KEEP.ON.SEETHING.

    Don’t worry, the navi is ready for that 13th #1.

    • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

      Rihanna will make history once again their favs will never #WorkBitch

  53. FreeBreezy October 28, 2013

    Nope. Mariah Carey is very much Black

  54. Forgive Rihanan, lord, so I can stan for her again October 28, 2013

    It is ok. I have to listen to it a bit more.

  55. blue October 28, 2013

    Rihanna’s vocals are everything in this, cant stop listening

  56. Georgie October 28, 2013

    Nope not feeling it. Culd not care less if it goes to #1 im not shallow Eminem sounds a mess, Rihannas part could be sung by anyone and the melody is basic af.

    • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

      Yea but HE chose Rihanna jealous he would NEVER collaborate with you fav …have several

  57. Jay Jay October 28, 2013

    So much better than Numb!! I was so upset because Numb didn’t slay me like the Love the way you lie did.

    Anyways I like this record, it’s solid and Rihanna’s vocals sounded great!! But I kind of like “lie” better, just had a bigger impact to me

  58. HoneychildPlease October 28, 2013

    I love rih but this is Just OK for me..Maybe it will grow on me idk

  59. Realest one October 28, 2013

    I like it, I heard it on the radio like 3 times
    It goes hard in the car
    and some of Em’s lyrics are great and relatable
    not once did I hear him mention material things a la Jay Z which is soooooo whack and not even true to the roots of rap.

    That is why people like Eminem, he can rap without boasting and bragging and people can relate
    “going from nothing to something”

    • Georgie October 28, 2013

      No but he raps about r*** and depressing s***. Sometimes ppl want a bit of escape and fun not to slit their wrists.

      • Realest one October 28, 2013

        Its better than Bugattis, Maybach, Ak’s
        the materialism bragging is NOT RAP
        that is some ole playground nah nah ne nah nah
        they need to boast outisde of the rap genre, that is not its roots, they have hijacked it for the worse,
        Em is one of the best as is TI, Jay is whack

      • Georgie October 29, 2013

        Jay Z doesnt always rap about that… In which case you must hate biggie. Money h*** and clothes all a n**** knows?

  60. Auntie_Jackie October 28, 2013

    Horrible.

    Love the Way You Lie was 10 x better. Anyone could have sang that hook.

    • Yea October 29, 2013

      but rihanna did, you mad you fave wasnt asked?

  61. Lucia October 28, 2013

    Boring, but Rihanna does sound good……….

  62. MrTooIncredible October 28, 2013

    Not feeling it at all. Maybe the video will make it interesting. This coming from the biggest Rihanna fan.

  63. CIARA HARRIS=THE NEXT SOCIALITE October 28, 2013

    its a good song.not amazing and not epic but it will do well and hopefully this will help RIH pick up some momentum as the UNAPOLOGETIC era comes to a close and we gear up of the new era

  64. #Beyindependent October 28, 2013

    Are the slorehanna fans mad i said this weak s*** wont be a number 1 hit which it won’t

    • Dray October 29, 2013

  65. JER October 28, 2013

    I like it a LOT!!! BUT. It’s NO “Love the Way You Lie” BYEEE!!!

  66. Navy Forever October 28, 2013

    I’m not calling anyone a hater I’m just saying this will be a #1 hit and you will deal…there is no competition right now have several

  67. Navy Forever October 28, 2013

    Don’t be a hater now because your fave will NEVER

    • Georgie October 29, 2013

      Never what? Sing basic songs like this? Thanks for the compliment.

      • Navy Forever October 29, 2013

    This is the worse of all Em’s new songs, and you can literally hear the studio engineers pushing the pitch correction buttons on Rihanna’s God awful singing. Sell those albums Em, but this song ain’t it.
