Here's What's Being Overlooked about The Monster

[ShadyOnFire]

The Monster is waaaaaay overhated. It's not even a pop song, let's look at some of the lyics shall we?

"I wanted the fame, not the cover of Newsweek, oh well" Oh, yep totally gone pop

"Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from, (Yeah pondering'll do you wonders, no wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders" my god, what a sellout.

"Call me crazy but I have this vision, one day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian." OH MY GOD THAT'S SO FUCKING POP! HOLY SON OF A SHIT!

"I ain't here to save the fucking children, but if one kid out of a hundred million, who is going through a struggle, feels it and relates that's- great!" JESUS CHRIST HOW MUCH MORE FUCKING POP CAN THIS SELLOUT GET?!?!

But seriously stfu. and screw people saying that this doesn't belong on MMLP2, you're just saying that cuz of the upbeat vibe, the topic fits perfectly.

Who is saying Eminem is pop on it?

MUSICALLY, it's pop.

That beat and hook could be a Rihanna single with no rapping. That's pop music.

Eminem's style remains hard rap, but he's just trying to mix the two 'found a hella way to fuse it', but doesn't change the fact that MUSICALLY, it is pop.

Oh, well yes, musically it's pop, but as a whole, the content is what keeps it hip-hop imo. And I thought the drums were kinda dope tbh.

After listening to Headlights, Stronger Than I Was, Asshole and hearing Survival within the album I think the Monster is much better than I originally considered. At the single release I figured it was the worst song that was gonna make the album but in context I actually like it better than all of the tracks I mentioned. And, I retract; it is better than LTWYL

Asshole is good.

Survival is "whatever"

Stronger than I was is totally lame. The only positive thing about this song is the honesty he puts in it. But the beat, lyrics, singing, OMG this is so bad.

I personally love headlights, it is pop too but I enjoy the chorus and the Ruess verse at the end. Way better than lighter which had the same kind of structure. And the lyrics are something new.

I think the Monster is a good song, at least a good single, Em's verses are better written and spit than in LTWYL but the song is less original and doesn't speak to me as much as LTWYL did.

Just my advice, dont kill me

Stronger Than I Was is top 5 on the album, yo. you're high off something heavy.
