this song is such a mess + should have been structured around nicki and her "I'M A MOTHERFUCKING MONSTER"
― i feed these skreets (tpp), Saturday, 28 August 2010 13:06 (thirteen years ago) link
the Nicki verse isn't really any more over the top than "Bottoms Up" or any of her really recent guest verses, is it?
― steenage dream (some dude), Saturday, 28 August 2010 14:01 (thirteen years ago) link
hahaha it's hilarious how much nicki outshines the others. kanye's verse isn't awful but pretty grating. jay's verse is an abomination imo, starts so clumsily with that tedious list of monsters like he's cramming for an exam, and improves only barely towards the end.
i don't really get why this verse is making people come round to nicki, it's a great verse (LOVE hearing her trini accent) but is it really that different from/superior to what she's been doing generally? my favourite bit is when her voice gets cut up on the "pink wig, thick ass give 'em whiplash" line. also "first things first, i'll eat your brains/then imma start rockin gold teeth and fangs" <3

i've never hated on nicki and i wouldn't say it's necessarily superior it's just such a great moment for her
― i feed these skreets (tpp), Saturday, 28 August 2010 16:09 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, agree, def feels like an ~event~ in her career in the way that her verses on random cassie/lloyd/mya tracks weren't, even though they were all amazing spots
i wanna know who minaj suggest her and kanye should menage with

what zeitgeist-grabbing guests/producers/samples do you think will be on this one? my predictions are Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon, Nicki Minaj, and Hall & Oates.

i always remember that stuff because i went to a swamp-trash Florida college that never taught me who Foucault was, tbh
hahaha

i only know about foucault because a kick-ass part-time prof happened to teach at my eastern-shore-of-md school while i was there
the other philosophy staff wouldn't have touched him with a ten foot pole

late as fuck obv but "monster" is dope no idea why ppl are hating on jay or kanye's verses both of which kinda remind me why i liked those guys in the first place
― dayo reckoning (The Reverend), Saturday, 11 September 2010 03:48 (thirteen years ago) link
I need to hear "Monster" but I can't be bothered, I'll probably wait until the CD comes out then I'll pay $10.99 for it on Amazon and then realize it doesn't even have the track "Monster" on it once Kanye finalizes the track listing and I'll be fucked out of $10.99 and go to YouTube about 4 months after everyone else does.

"remind me why i liked those guys in the first place" is totally wrong. it's more like it provides much more viable paths they could have gone down.
