    1. Note that 95% of the sales of the song and album were bought by eminem. Without it,they would be gold at best.

    3. kings of leon use somebody song roaming around hed down, neyo roaming around with head down, fabolous beginging on body ya saying hes sick neyo sick love songs.monster drinks soda coke 13

    4. Sure cause I definitely have never bought a Black Artist’s album. Use your freaking head, we buy whatever we wanna listen to, race has no involvement

      1. Too bad most of the music sucks tho, homie. They don’t make ’em like they used to. You keep spending your money on shit music or should I say noise.

      2. I’m just saying, homie… Don’t spend your hard earned fucking money on these puppets/wack ass artists. Just download the shit. That’s if your into new shit. If you spending your money on golden-era hip hop, you can download that too if your a strictly MP3’s type person. I personally, like to buy the CD or vinyl. My collection is dope as fuck! I own timeless albums such as the rare Raekwon “Cuban Linx” CD with the purple case with “Shallah Raekwon” signature on the disc and Tribe’s “Beats, Rhymes, Life” with the holographic cover. Start collecting the real shit, if you not already! It’s good solid advice. As I said, don’t waste your hard earned money on these wack ass so called artists. All these new clowns are nothing but a bunch of puppets. Your welcome.

      3. Even tho Eminem ain’t a new artist, he wack as fuck and he a puppet too.

    5. Have to scroll down all the way to find 1 comment relevant to the article. Get these fuckin kids/trolls off the site

    6. I’m not a pop song hater, I like a lot of pop music. But this song isn’t even a good pop song, it’s extremely mediocre. If 50 Cent or a black rapper came out with this same bullshit, Rihanna and all, it wouldn’t even be half as popular. There’s nothing special about this at all, it does nothing for me. I’m not impressed

      1. This is coming from an eminem stan but this song sucks. It’s basically “Show Goes on” from lupe fiasco with a pop beat that could have fit in a maroon 5 song, a shitty pop singer, and the lyrics talk about fame. The ironic thing is that Eminem would have dissed rihanna in 2000.

      2. that’s “stuck in the past nigga” talk

        who gives a motherfuck what Eminem would or wouldn’t have done 13 years ago, he coulda said fuck mormons and y’all would still be quoting him on it. people change in 13 years. em probably real chill with rihanna in real life, and y’all on that “he said she said 10 yrs ago” ish. I don’t even like the song that much but people been sayin this shit since recovery which doesn’t make bloody sense

      3. Doesn’t mean this has to sound like shit.

        BTW, Stan sampled a verse from a dido song and she just supported it. Not the same thing as having her over.

      1. I see you on that Tariq! Dont sweat it tho. They just making more yellow babies and decreasing the amount of white people. lol

    7. this shows how racist we are, the main reason u buy is cause you want a white person to run hip hop sell the most even if the music is wack, he is not wack but, is he was black he would have sold hal he said it himself

    8. I still don’t understand why people buy singles they play them on the radio all day but I never heard this song on urban radio plus you got free youtube and alot more other stuff to listen to music on for free I think they be lying about these numbers

      1. I know it’s hard to believe for somebody who probably steals music all the time, but there are people that actually support the artists that put in quality work over the years.

    9. Beyonce and drake run this shit! Eminem wack as fuck,go ask drake for some help. Corny ass garbage music with no substance. This song is a hit cause rihanna is on the chorus,without her you be doing some do doing doing doing corny azz like that hooks. Rihanna made this bitch,she owns this fucker!

      1. saying rhianna is better then eminem? then WHAT THE FUCK are you doing on a HIP HOP website? rhianna is a pop star, eminem is the epitome of lyricism, which is one of the key components to hip-hop…you sir, don, have no knowledge to what good music is. why dont you go to mtv.com if you like pop music

      2. eminem had to sell out at age 26 to get where he is, now he fell off so hard hes TERRIBLE, lost all my respect, on the other hand DMX never sold out and shits on anyone out there. realest nigga out!!!!!!!!!!!!

      3. If rihanna is pop what the fuck is eminem doing making a song with her?? He needed the help! He puts out garbage and people buy it. Look at the critics,they think he’s garbage too. Kanye puts out art,beyonce puts out art,drake art,justin timberlake art. Eminem does some bagpipes from baghdad bullshit and you fuckers buy that shit?? You call that art? When was the last time he made anything of substance?? People dissed yeezus but the critics gave it a gold star,because its art. Face it eminem is selling verbal diarrhoea and you fuckers drinking it up! He can sell all the albums in the world but he’ll never be drake!!

      4. Drake will never be in the top ten best rappers ever em is and hes a better lyricist Fuck Outta you can never compare drake to Eminem ever ever ever its like comparing Justin Bieber to Michael Jackson

      5. Eminem has fallen the fuck off. Drake is rising and will only become stronger in the short term.

      6. this was a joke right bc it made me crack up
        eminem is the highest selling artist of the decade he doesnt need rihanna to sell anythin

      7. “@Anonymous Fag above me:

        Eminem has fallen the fuck off. Drake is rising and will only become stronger in the short term.”

        This nigga’s obviously dentalbitch. Even he doesn’t believe his own lies.

      8. Eminem is shit! Deal with it! He has no substance,he sounds like a robot when he sings. This fucker sounds like kesha and katy perry when he sings! He’s songs aren’t memorable,he turned slaughterhouse into the biggest joke in the world! He dissed boy bands and now he’s making songs that they would be proud of! Fuck this idiot,he’s no better than vanilla ice!

        See the trend you eminem dick riders?? Fuck outta here! This fucker is a talentless con artist who has managed to fool a gullible, idiotic, american audience that has no appreciation for art!

    10. Yeah, this obviously is not the highlight of MMLP2…but its a genius way to combine insane lyricism with a pop beat that will sell like crzy…if you disagree, let me ask you a question.

      How many times can you rhyme something with the word Newsweek?

      In the first verse, he does it 13 times.

      be choosey
      my music
      excuse me
      blew, see
      confusing
      Bruce Lee
      loose leaf
      abused ink
      blew steam
      ooh wee
      used mink
      lose sheep
      two sheep
      Kool Keith

      I don’t care who you are. That’s insane lyricism. No pop song in the world is gonna provide that type of skill

      1. Combined with the fact that this is a business and he knows exactly what the fuck he’s doing by making songs like that. Who else is doing those numbers?

      2. Exactly! as he said it as a no interview he likes to his is on courses but he also enjoys when someone gives him a chorus he sees what he could do he took a simple pop song and turned it into this phenomenon reaching so many genres its so relatable and so many different ways and his pure skill and talent regardless if you like is type of music or not. a lot of things have changed about him and his music over the last 5 or 6 years the one thing that has not is his ability and skill and lyricism he is hip hop he eats sleeps breathes hip hop every day I would kill to see his notebooks

    11. my co-worker’s aunt makes $61 every hour on the computer. She has been laid off for 6 months but last month her check was $21227 just working on the computer for a few hours. original site,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, x.co/3Yjd2

    12. Why is everyone bashing those who dislike the song? They have the right to their opinion. Doesn’t mean eminem is no longer on of the best but it doesn’t mean you have to like everything he does. I gave my reasons why I disliked and yet they dismiss mine like its no big deal.

    13. Haters gonna hate. ive scanned these hip hop sites and theres nothing but a bunch of losers constantly finding a worse way to shit on Eminem again and again no matter what he does. THe mans got mad respect from his piers and much more fans then haters. You cant stop this guy. excited to see how many 35 year old men call me fag in 1 2 3…

      1. I liked Rap God and Bezerk. I thought the COD song was ok but Monster just sucks like a typical pop song. The title monster should be used for something dark like Love the Way you lie, not a maroon 5 pop beat.

    14. okay so when I first heard the song I felt like a lot of you who are saying its too poppy isand I couldn’t really listen to it more than once after the first time I heard it until a couple weeks ago I started to listen to it my rotation of music on my phone and I can’t hate the song because he is such a good lyricist! yes its a pop beat it’s happy when you think a song called the monster. This shouldn’t surprise you if you know Eminem to know he’s going to go out the norm that in addition to the fact that he’s no longer in a dark place in his life so therefore since he makes music on emotion and his life he’s not going to make dark songs like you are expecting him, like he did on the original Mathers LP
