Monster feat. Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Bon IverKanye West21rank/position
A 2012 work by Kanye West, who changed his name to Ye in 2021.
It’s breathtaking how skilled rappers pass the mic in a relay over a classic, tight hip-hop beat.

It’s a bold new proposal for a Halloween that’s intense and macho.
