Marshall rounded the number of songs with over 900 million Spotify streams up to 10.
“The Monster” is the fourth single from “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” and the fourth collaboration between Eminem and Rihanna, following “Love the Way You Lie” (2010), its sequel “Love the Way You Lie (Part II)” (2010), and “Numb” (2012). The song topped the charts in 12 countries including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The track is built upon a song written by Bebe Rexha for her debut album. But she knew that this tune was menat for Eminem the second she finished it. So later, Frequency, the producer of the track, showed the record to Riggs Morales, Shady Records VP of A&R.
When he played “The Monster” Morales “freaked out”, instantly asking for the verses to be stripped and ProTools sessions to send to Eminem, wrote the Vibe magazine in 2013. Eminem clearely liked the song. He touched up on the instrumentals, tweaked the production, put on his own verses and invited Rihanna to sing the hook. The rest is history.
Eminem’s Daughter Hailie About Seeing Her Dad Surprise Appearance with 50 Cent: I was so happy
Hailie says Eminem kept the plan to join 50 Cent on stage secret, even from his family. She only learned about it right before the show, but it didn’t dump her excitement.
Hailie talked about her Sunday evening on the recent Just A Little Shady podcast episode. As her sister Alaina, she also went to see Fifty’s Final Lap tour show in Michigan together with her partner. She appreciated every minute of it, but the moments when she saw her dad coming out were special. She said:
“We went to the 50 Cent concert, and I was so freaking happy. I haven’t seen him perform since sixth grade. It’s been so long. First of all, I was so happy because there’s so many bangers that I feel that everybody just forgets about. Like, there’s the club songs, but then there’s so many that you’re like, holy shit! Bop after bop after bop! Also, the actual production of the entire show!.. I’ve never seen that level of production. I mean, pyro, confetti cannons… There is a point, there was one song where pyro went off for the entire song.
This is sick. I was not disappointed. And also dad came out. It’s funny when he came out at that Ed Sheeran thing we knew before. [This time] I found out right before. But still, no matter what, I get so hyped! Because I just see the crowd being so happy! There was this guy in front of us; he originally was in our seats, and he was not supposed to be there.
So he just climbed over and went in the seats in front of us. He was living his best life the entire time! Thankfully, nobody came to those seats, so he didn’t get kicked out. I was just like, yes! You deserve to be right there. It was the most crowded too and the most hectic I have seen Pine Knob in a long time or ever. Any time I went to a show there, I feel like I’ve not seen that many people. It was insane. So, that was one of my best Sundays in a long time.”
