Eminem - The Monster ft. Rihanna | Song Lyrics Meaning Explanation

I'm explaining "The Monster" by Eminem and ft. Rihanna! A few of you all requested Eminem, so I thought I'd oblige and do one of my favorite songs by him. Enjoy my explanation of this exceptional, raw, and interesting song. "The Monster" talks about Eminem's struggle with the concept of being famous and his relationship with the monster that's underneath his bed--that dark side of him that keeps trying to draw him back.
