Monster (Kanye West song)
"Monster" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Kanye West, released as the third single from his fifth studio album, ''My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'' (2010). The track features rappers Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, and singer Justin Vernon of indie folk group Bon Iver. All five credited performers have writing credits on the posse cut, with the production handled by West and Mike Dean. Lyrically the song expresses often disturbing, horror film influenced concepts, with some comparing the track's eerie aesthetic to the Michael Jackson song "Thriller". The song contains an atmospheric, drum-heavy composition, notable for featuring no samples.
Originally released through West's GOOD Friday initiative, a weekly free music giveaway started by the rapper to promote ''My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'', the song was later confirmed to be featured on the album, and was released as a digital download on October 23. The song received acclaim from music critics, and was listed amongst the best tracks of 2010 by publications, with ''NME'' placing it at number 53 on its list of the "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". The song was applauded for its funky, bombastic beat, with West's and Minaj's contributions to the song receiving particularly positive notices.
The song debuted and peaked on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 at position 18. The track was promoted with a music video directed by Jake Nava. The music video had several references to horror films and featured extensive horror imagery, with zombies, decapitated corpses and heavily atmospheric cinematography. The music video was widely controversial, being banned from MTV. The video has been criticized for its negative sexual portrayal of women, and the content of the video was described as weird and disturbing in nature.
==Background==
To promote his upcoming fifth album, West launched GOOD Fridays, a weekly free music giveaway.〔 The intention was to release a free new song every Friday for a few months, and the weekly tracks generally featured various rappers from his label, GOOD Music, and other artists he usually collaborated with. In the first week West released onto his website a remix of the album's first single, "Power", and "Monster" was released on the second week.〔 The song was promptly removed from his website and replaced with another track, with "Monster" being uploaded as a digital single onto iTunes.〔 West announced that "Monster" was actually intended for his collaborative album ''Watch the Throne'' with Jay-Z.〔〔 West's announcement failed to surface however, and the song actually appeared on ''My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'' and was released as the album's third single.〔
