Video: Kanye West Ft. Rick Ross, Jay z, Nicki Minaj and Bon Iver - Monster

The word is that this is not the final version of the “Monster” music video, but our layman's guess is that any changes will pertain to some esoteric postproduction technique more so than the actual content. Unless Kanye really wants to squeeze in a few more models hanging from nooses? Also present: a shirtless 'Ye, getting groped; a dapper Jay-Z, dressed as Mr. Blonde while ignoring a dead call girl; a sedentary Rick Ross, his beard looking extra Rick Ross–y; an animated Nicki Minaj interrogating, and then briefly giving a lap dance to, a second Nicki Minaj; zombie schoolgirls playing hopscotch; and, our personal favorite, a three-way scenario involving two dead, but possibly just disinterested, ladies. Despite all that titillating content, though, the clip feels more moderately paced than most music videos; either that means the cuts are relatively slower than the manic rate at which the rest of the field generally operates, or there really is more work to be done before the video's ready for public consumption. Anyway: Dead model time!

Rick Ross Responds to Young Jeezy

In his “Man of the Year” cover issue of The Source, Ross discredits the way Jeezy handled the whole situation as not being G.

Has the phone call between you and Young Jeezy take place yet?

Nah. That hasn’t happened. It’s nothing I’m looking forward to.

You guys have worked together before. It seemed the camaraderie between you two was genuine. The last summer he put out his own “B.M.F.” freestyle, but told me personally it wasn’t abbot you. Did you feel disrespected?

I’m not sure what was going on. [the freestyle] was most definitely [disrespectful], whatever it was. Then the explanations seemed sideways, less than G.

What’s more surprising; a diss records by somebody you were cool with or by somebody you don’t know?’

It’s most definitely when we always touching distance from each other. I’m tight here. It’s not like I’m in Miami and you in New York. We see each other. That’s the only issue I had. It was sideways. So i made a record, “Summer’s Mine” just to [let him know], if we gonna play that sport, let’s put it on the table like men. If it was just a freestyle that the world took the wrong way, leave it alone. That’s how I took it.

An added twist is that you and Jeezy are both on Def Jam. Did you ever get a call from L.A Reid saying “Hey, let’s not let this get out of hand?”

Nah. I don’t accept those kinda calls. I think they know that would have been an exercise in futility. Whatever it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be. If we gonna get money, we gonna get money. If it’s pressure, just put it on the table. I feel no way. I had nothing but love for the homie, but if me getting money in the streets or making music offended you, I can’t help that.
