“Monster” packs enough objectively insane moments to fill an entire episode of Scooby-Doo: Kanye hiking up his high-waters to quote Napoleon Dynamite, JAY-Z moaning “looooooove” like a mummified Heathcliff on the moors, Rick Ross using a chunk of his 10-second prologue of a verse to refer to himself as a “fat motherfucker.” Yet the decade’s most opulent posse cut ends up far greater than the sum of its ridiculous parts. Over yawning synths and brusque, almost-industrial bass, these hip-hop hellions offer a quick peek into the vulnerabilities of the super rich and famous while allowing us to ride the wave of their incomprehensibly lofty egos. Of course, “Monster” is remembered most for the burgeoning star it made inarguable: Nicki Minaj, still a month away from releasing her debut album, slaughtering everyone in her path with 32 bars of demented Barbie BDE. Consider our brains eaten. –Stacey Anderson

“Monster” 集齐的疯狂时刻足以塞满一整部的《叔比狗》（动画片电影）：Kanye身穿露脚裸裤，引用电影《大人物拿破仑》里的经典台词，JAY-Z如同《咆哮山庄》的男主在沼泽上呻吟 “looooooove”，Rick Ross的用了一大段10秒的诗歌序言来称自己是 “fat motherfucker.”。然而，这个十年阵容最豪华的单曲做出的成果远比这堆荒谬的歌词更有料。在令人瞠目的合成器和粗鲁的、近乎工业摇滚的bass中，这群嘻哈恶棍让我们得以一窥超级富豪和名人的脆弱，同时也让我们得以一览他们令人费解的高傲自大。当然，“Monster” 最无可置辩且令人难以忘怀的就是它塑造出当红新秀Nicki Minaj：距离首张专辑发行还有一个月，凭藉她“芭”气侧漏的三十二段小节过关斩将，独占鳌头。
