don't get why everyone hates on this kanye verse. one of the very few recent ones i like a lot.

i don't know if many people are hating on that verse besides me and lex, who are kind of the big outspoken opponents of the whole album fwiw

i dont really like any of kanye's verses on the album

― EIEIoOoOO (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 22:54 (thirteen years ago) link
that's probably my least favorite line on the album
― gimme schefter (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 22:55 (thirteen years ago) link
altho i think it's totally something that kanye would say irl and find funny
this is one of those albums where i'm like "OMG that's the corniest line ever" then kanye drops one that tops it in the next song

see mailbooya to me is at least a kinda typical early kanye pun. as opposed to, say, swallowship, which is awful

AT LAST there's a version with everyone who isn't Nicki removed. Awesome work there Kingdom.

haha i love how kingdom made the beat pop so much more

i like that he took 'besides 'ye they can't stand besides me' to its logical conclusion (excepting rick ross at the beginning)

posts like this are why I found it completely puzzling that some dude ranked Kanye's album in his top 50 of the year

It's cool, OG version of "Monster" is still in my top 5

yeah but i also posted in the kanye thread around the same time that it would be in my year-end somewhere in the 30s or 40s. i was more an opponent of the album's #1 masterpiece status than the album itself but yeah there are things i've said that suggest otherwise i guess ::shrug::

xp rly? agree the beat is cool but there are so many bad parts
― flopson, Thursday, 6 January 2011 17:39 (thirteen years ago) link
imo it is some of the worst rap of 2010 bookended by some of the best. i understand the temptation but i could never rate it
― flopson, Thursday, 6 January 2011 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I know a lot of people do, but I don't really have beef with any of the verses.
― tears of a self-clowning oven (The Reverend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link
All the silly Ross/Kanye/Jigga parts just make me laugh tbh.
― tears of a self-clowning oven (The Reverend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 17:45 (thirteen years ago) link
the jay z verse goes on for so long!
― flopson, Thursday, 6 January 2011 17:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Really the only totally unforgivable thing in the song is Jay-Z thinking he can try to rhyme "common" with "monster".
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Thursday, 6 January 2011 17:49 (thirteen years ago) link
It doesn't seem any longer than Kanye or Nicki's verses?
― tears of a self-clowning oven (The Reverend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
It's shorter than either.
― tears of a self-clowning oven (The Reverend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 18:02 (thirteen years ago) link
It's basically just ppl doing the same "Jay-Z is old, what business does he have still rapping" routine that's been going on for the past 2 years.
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Thursday, 6 January 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Kanye = 28 barsJay = 20Nicki = 32

ha i was gonna say
― Johnny Cheever (some dude), Thursday, 6 January 2011 18:22 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean 16 bars is kind of the standard so Jay's verse can be considered long in that sense but not in the context of the song

where does this verse rank in the pantheon of famous guest verses? is it the most famous in like 5 years? after consulting various young ppl in my world of young ppl, i came across a lot of "nicki minaj really kills that verse" by people that would never have cared about nicki because the singles off 'pink friday' are so poppy & bad -- really think the "monster" verse opened her up to a bigger audience
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:03 (thirteen years ago) link
probably not nearly as much as her similarly loopy verse on a top 10 hit?
― i don't even vacuum, i'm roomba pimpin (The Reverend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:37 (thirteen years ago) link
eh idk
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 January 2011 21:38 (thirteen years ago) link
"Bottoms Up" is a bigger hit (and a better verse imo) but c'mon "Monster" is obv so much more revered as her standout calling card moment
