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
i’m white, and yea it does.
no you’re not
lol corny ass whiteboys
People still BUY music? LMFAO, you SUCKERS!
Thanks to people like me who buy music, music is still being made.
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.
You don’t know what I’ve spent my money on so how can you say that?
tell us friend,
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.
Even tho Eminem ain’t a new artist, he wack as fuck and he a puppet too.
You really are retarded.

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
Thank you for speaking the truth!!
Gotta co-sign that. Em would have NEVER made pop songs with pop singers back in the day…
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.
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
Kizman: (cough) he made “Stan” with Dido, who is very much a pop singer (cough)
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.
lol@the pic chosen on the headline
This is only popular with the females with the Negro Bed Wench mentality.
I see you on that Tariq! Dont sweat it tho. They just making more yellow babies and decreasing the amount of white people. lol
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
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
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.
thank you sfd…just another example of why the internet is partially a failure

Eminem mothafacking rules! He’s tough as hell. The clip for this song was straight genius
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!
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
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!!
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
don is a fucking iditot who lies about everything. Eminem is better than those sellout fags you named.
Eminem has fallen the fuck off. Drake is rising and will only become stronger in the short term.
suck a donkey dick hater!
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
“@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.
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!

don, everything you say is a fucking lie.
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.

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

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.
let the haters begin lol fucking fags

eminem runs this shit like it or not fags
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…
eminem is one of the greatest but the new music isnt that good…
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.
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

Eminem is selling off hype, not talent!
Nope. Eminem sells off of talent. Those other guys are selling off of hype.
