Adele's Carpool Karaoke session alongside late night host James Corden has brought new life to Kanye West's 2010 collaboration with Nicki MinajRick RossJay Z, and Bon Iver​. The video of Adele incredibly rapping Nicki's verse from "Monster" has raked in more than 20 million views since it went live yesterday, and has since helped the original song skyrocket back into the top 10 on the iTunes hip-hop charts.

According to Pigeons and Planes, the song hasn't really moved on the main iTunes chart yet. This is very cool, but also a little concerning since it sort of indicates that people were first introduced to the classic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy track through Adele. If that's the case, today would be a good time to go back and revisit one of Kanye's best projects.
