Eminem's highly-anticipated new album MMLP2 officially hits stores TODAY (Tuesday, November 5). Slim Shady recently sat-down with MTV News to discuss one of the biggest collaborations on his eight studio record... "The Monster" featuring Rihanna. According to the popular Detroit rapper, RiRi was the "perfect fit" for the song and she totally "smashed it"... like always.
"The Monster" marks the fourth collaboration between Shady and Rihanna. Check it out:
Eminem told MTV News on Monday, "The perception of the record, what it's saying, I thought it would be a good idea to have her on it because I think people look at us like we're both a little nuts. That's one of the things that I was telling her in making the record: I think that people look at us a little crazy."
Shady continued, "As soon as I got the beat I just heard her on it," Em said. "I wanted to make sure that I had it finished first to be able to present to her, but once I had the rhymes done, I sent it to her... I had to send it to her because schedules were conflicting and s*it like that. Plus, the record it was kinda pulled together at the last minute. I sent it to her, she laid the hook, sent it back. She smashed it like she does always. It's pretty incredible."
Pretty cool stuff.
Shady Records president Paul Rosenberg revealed to MTV News that a music video for "The Monster" is forthcoming. Stay tuned!
