Kanye West - Monster

Earlier this month Stereogum revealed that Yeezy flew Justin Vernon to a Hawaii studio for a few days to collaborate on … something. Little did we know Kanye would invite Jay-Z, Rick Ross, and Nicki Minaj to the party. “Monster” is the second track from Watch The Throne, a five song collection announced today via @kanyewest. Sorry, Justin doesn’t rap.

Kanye has promised to tweet a new track every Friday until Christmas.

  1. cuts out around 1:30 but pretty goddamn good

  2. Nicki Minaj’s verse > everyone else’s verse.

  3. Oh man, now I gotta break out the Benjamin Bronfman tag?

  4. Here are the lyrics according to killerhiphop, btw:

    [Bon Iver]
    I shoot the lights out
    Hide til its bright out
    Whoa, just another lonely night
    Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

    [Rick Ross]
    Bitch I’m a monster no good bloodsucker
    fat muthaf-cker now look who’s in trouble
    as you run through my jungle all you hear is rumbles
    Kanye West sample, here’s one for example

    [Kanye West - Chorus]
    Gossip gossip
    n-ggas just stop it
    everybody know (I’m a muthaf-cking monster)
    I’ma need to see your f-cking hands at the concert
    I’ma need to see your f-cking hands at the concert
    profit profit, n-gga I got it
    everybody know I’m a muthaf-cking monster
    I’ma need to see your f-cking hands at the concert
    I’ma need to see your f-cking hands at the ….

    The best living or dead hands down huh?
    less talk more head right now huh?
    and my eyes more red than the devil is
    and I’m bout to take it to another level bitch
    there you go again, aint nobody as cold as this
    do the rap and the track tripled up and no assist
    but my only focus is staying on some bogus sh-t
    argue with my older bitch acting like I owe her sh-t
    I heard the people sayin raps are gettin trap mayne
    bought the chain that always give me back pain
    f-ckin up my money so yeh I had to act sane
    Chi n-gga but he’s hold of his accent
    she came up to me and said this the number 2
    if you wanna make it number one your number 2 now
    this that goose an’ Malibu I call it Malibooya
    God damn Yeezy How I hit em with the new style
    know that muthaf-cker well, what you gon do now
    whatever ever I wanna do, gosh its cool now
    nah gonna do, uhh its a new now
    think yo muthaf-cker really real need to cool down
    cause you will never get on top off this
    so mommy best advice is to get on top of this
    have you ever had sex with a pharaoh
    I put the p-ssy in a sarcophagus
    now she claiming I bruise her esophagus
    head of the class and she just want a swallowship
    I’m living the future so the presence is my past
    my presence is a present kiss my ass

    [Kanye West - Chorus]

    [Jay-Z]
    Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong
    Lochness, Goblin, Ghoul, a zombie with no conscience
    question what do all these things have in common
    everybody knows I’m a muthaf-cking monster
    conquer, stomp ya, stop your silly nonsense
    none of you n-ggas know where the swamp is
    none of you n-ggas have seen the carnage that I’ve seen
    I still here fiends scream in my dream
    murder murder in black convertibles
    I kill a block I murder avenues
    rape and pillage a village, women and children
    everybody wanna know what my Achilles heel is
    LOVE I dont get enough of it
    all I get is these vampires and blood suckers
    all I see is these n-ggas I’ve made millionaires
    milling about, spilling there feelings in the air
    all I see is these fake f-cks with no fangs
    tryna draw blood with my ice cold veins
    I smell a massacre
    seems to be the only way to back you bastards up

    [Chorus]

    [Nicki Minaj]
    Pull up in the monster
    automobile gangster
    with a bad b-tch that came from Sri Lanka
    yeah I’m in that Tonka, colour of Willy Wonka
    you could be the King but watch the Queen conquer
    ok first things first I’ll eat your brains
    then I’mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs
    cause that’s what a muthaf-cking monster do
    hairdresser from Milan, thats the monster do
    monster Giuseppe heel that’s the monster shoe
    Young Money is the roster and the monster crew
    and I’m all up all up all up in the bank with the funny face
    and if I’m fake I aint notice cause my money aint
    let me get this straight wait I’m the rookie
    but my features and my shows ten times your pay?
    50k for a verse, no album out!
    yeah my money’s so tall that my barbie’s gotta climb it
    hotter than a middle eastern climate
    find it Tony Matterhorn dutty wine it
    while it, nicki on them titties when I sign it
    how these n-ggas so one-track minded
    but really really I don’t give a F-U-C-K
    forget barbie f-ck nicki she’s fake
    she’s on a diet but my pockets eating cheese cake
    and I’ll say bride of Chucky is Child’s play
    just killed another career it’s a mild day
    besides ‘Ye they can’t stand besides me
    I think me, you and Am [Amber Rose] should menage friday
    pink wig thick ass give em whip lash
    I think big get cash make em blink fast
    now look at what you just saw I think this is what you live for
    aaaahhh, I’m a muthaf-cking monster!

    [Bon Iver]
    I-I crossed the line-line
    and I’ll-I’ll let God decide-cide
    I-I wouldn’t last these shows
    so I-I am headed home
    (repeated)
    [End]

    • “further proof that kanye is a no talent loser!”

      really? man, we all have tastes, but you cannot say that kanye west doesn’t have talent. the guy’s production in unprecedented–from his pre-college dropout days, through each album he’s done himself. he takes risks that no one else in mainstream hip-hop is willing to take. also his lyrics can be awkward but are often fantastic.

      he may have an over-the-top public persona, but you can’t really argue that he doesn’t have talent.

  7. really? so he flew him to an island to contribute something anyone could’ve done? Boring track. the woman was over the top and that is about it. Boring.

  8. I had to wake up early to catch an international flight, and this song just woke me the fuck up. I am gonna be rocking this track for a long time. I am glad that you have the download.

  9. Vernon and West take break from bickering about vocoder vs. autotune to bring us this less-altered track of “What the hell is this?”

  10. Nicki Minaj’s verse just pisses me off

  11. Heard Kanye discovered Bon Iver’s music after reading a favorable review of the Blood Bank EP on Autotune Weekly.

  12. weird song, Nicki and kanye killed it, ross introduced it, bon lver finished it, and jay was a peice of Sh!t.
