I know you're postin that you're rational, cause I can see it
So tell the voices in your head to believe it

By saying Kanye's an angel, and look at all that Ye gave ya,
You asked for the classics he gave ya, mhmmm
You know Kanye never left you
Cause every road that leaves to standoms right inside you, so I can say

Hello Kanye's Only One,
You're kinda like his son,
You'll keep on postin tellin everyone everything he does is great
Hello Kanye's Only One, remember who you are
No you're not an Eminem stan but you're kind of the same

Cyhi being on MBDTF and having writing credits on Yeezus easily trumps Hopsins career

• Real Friends the most CD/LR song we've heard from Kanye in years
• Family Business introspective vibes
• Ty Dolla $ign is great on the track
  
• One of the best choruses on the album
• Production is great and polished
• Wolves outro is wonderful
• Actually contains verses from Kanye, although he does get lazy towards the end of the song

Real Friends is underrated honestly, by myself included. It's overlooked because it was released as a GOOD Friday track and everyone assumed it was just a bonus song. I think it was the first song he actually finished, that's why he released it.

Well, this was a popular thing not long ago... Making top 10 lists. So here's my version, which of course is THE YEEZY EDITION. I'll basically be counting down from 10 over the week, posting 1 or 2 a day. I strongly welcome discussion, feedback and criticisms, but try not to be too critical, I'm making a personal list rather than an objective list, there might be 1 or 2 surprising inclusions and exclusions. But I generally jump on the wagon with some of his finest work.

This was quite hard for me because he has more than 10 10/10 songs... So if you're mad a certain song didn't make the cut, I probably still rate it a 10. Chip in if you reckon you already know #1.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS
Through The Wire, Two Words, Hey Mama, Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix), Flashing Lights, Say You Will, Amazing, Bad News, Gorgeous, Lost In The World, Guilt Trip, Real Friends

#10

Blood On the Leaves
Yeezus


Strange... fruit... hanging...... I don't know about you guys, but this song contains everything about Kanye besides a classic Old Kanye quote. It's a b-----r, it has an emotional side, simple yet addictive lyrics and a legendary sample. The context of the song as well is a recurring theme of Kanyes' with how fame can tear apart relationships. Probably the best song I've ever seen performed live (although there aren't that many lol), he really drags the audience in. 6 minutes, the longest song on Yeezus, yet I want it to last longer. I'm pretty sure it would be in my top 5 most played songs of all time.

If I was musically talented, boi I would be jumping on a Piano making a cover for this song.

Jesus Walks
The College Dropout


I made Jesus Walks I ain't ever going to h---.... Could this be Kanye's anthem, it's been around for a long time and he still love playing it. I thought it deserved a spot in the top 10 for what it is. It seems like a lot of people got introduced to Kanye through this era of his music, but it wasn't the case for me, I started around 808s/MBDTF and worked my way back. But I still feel like this is vintage Kanye for me, I do go back for a listen every now and then, it's not a regular for me but I strongly appreciate it. The College Dropout was a classic, with this being one of the songs that stood out the most.

I'm not super religious, but what appealed to me from this song was his bravery to speak out and say whatever he wanted and do things his way, to me, this was the foundation of his confidence.

Only One
Non-album Single


Well quite a few of you have guessed it! It's probably because I'm one of the members who's quite vocal about this song being so good. I obviously loved this song a lot when it first came out, but was unsure of what direction Kanye was leading towards with So Help Me God. I'm mildly disappointed that it didn't carry its way to feature on The Life of Pablo, it's all good as long as this song doesn't get forgotten when we remember his legacy because if feel like it contributes a lot. I always have the context of the song in mind when I listen and there are quite a few lines that will always touch me. Tell Nori about me.

I'm not into defending Ye against his haters, but I bet I can convert a hater into a fan by giving them this song.

POWER
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy


21st-Century Schizoid man!..... The clock's ticking, I just count down the songs. If it wasn't already difficult for me, it certainly is now. This should definitely be a safe pick because it should be in EVERYONE'S top 10. What I love about this song is that it's very uplifting, it's got some attacking lines (f--- you SNL) and it simply just never gets old. He actually performed this song on SNL but he obviously had to change the second verse due to what he said, I really wished did the original verse, d--- that would've been classic. Everything was about this song was on point, he nailed it to perfection. So much better than that Good Fridays version lol.

Power is the name of my favourite sports team, I really wish this was their official song!

Can't Tell Me Nothing
Graduation


Laaaa laaa laa la... When you get that pay cheque... Kanye knew how to make someone feel invincible. Graduation had a lot of highs and there were a couple of songs that bordered around the top 10, but this song is definitely my favourite song off the album. Kanye has locked himself up in his own world, a very wealthy word, he likes to emphasise. There are so many factors in this song that try to bring him down but you hardly notice from how little he cares about them. From the day you first listen to it, it's so easy to click with it. Been up there as one of my favourite song by Kanye for a along time.

The Hangover has inspired me to one day visit Vegas and bump this song... loud..

So Appalled
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy


Incoming rage.. Remember this is a pretty subjective list, factoring a lot of personal preferences. This album really made me a fan of Pusha T, I don't know the consensus thought, but if nobody it rating it then it's very underrated. I've had to deal with all the outrageous eliminations in my elimination games and this song getting voted out in the 2nd round had me fuming. The only flaw with So Appalled was CyHi the Prince's verse, it was fairly average. Other than that, it's amazing. I'll take the backlash if there's any to come, I know this might be a controversial pick.

Just a few more songs to go, as you can tell by now, there are quite a few surprising exclusions.

All Falls Down
The College Dropout


She's so self-conscious! I really enjoy listening to this song. Although Jesus Walks is like an anthem, Through the Wire was a career defining moment... I felt like this song defines The College Dropout better. It's definitely a song that I and many other people around my age like me can relate to a lot, it's probably up there on top of a large list when I find myself listening to this song for the context rather than how good it sonically is (however, it does rock in that department).

I'm really not sure if this is a song everyone would rate so highly, but it is for me. My top 5 probably looks a lot different to others.

Ultralight Beam
The Life of Pablo


THIS IS A GOD DREAM.... I just had to have a song from The Life Of Pablo, and to have it this high? Yes! Ultralight Beam is something really special to me. This is something that I normally keep to myself, but I was having a really hard time at the start of the year... a real tough time, seeing people advance through their careers and travelling, felt like my life was heading into a dead end. This song came at the right time for me. The Kelly Price verse was really touching and lifted me from the ground and Chance the Rapper was a f---ing boss. I would have this at #1 but a part of me tells me it's too early. It's my favourite song at the moment, but hasn't been long enough to jump ahead of the 2 I placed in front of it. Such a great song, thank you Kanye, I needed this.

OUT!

Runaway
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy


Well, it almost seems like an obligation that this song is number 1. Perfect is one word to the describe this song. Kanye did a brilliant job on MBDTF, probably the greatest hip-hop album of all time (well in my bias opinion) and the fact that this song was almost the unanimous (1 prick voted for it in the last round) winner of the MBDTF Elimination Game says a lot about the song. People could argue that it carries on at the end or takes a while to start, I would argue that it's a piece of art. You can feel the raw emotions from Ye in this song "I sent this b---- a picture of my diiiiick"...

When Kanye came around Australia for the Yeezus Tour, Pusha T opened, but this song was the middle of Kanye's set. Pusha came back on as a surprise to play his verse. I heard that he didn't do that to any other city over here. Adelaide getting them exclusives.

Hold My Liquor
Yeezus


And there we have it guys.... my favourite Kanye West song of all time. The song does not lose any replay value whatsoever. It's my most played song on iTunes. For a while I was a bit stiff on Yeezus, I've always rated it as one of his worst albums in his discography because I was deaf and tried to appreciate the old Kanye more. But I learned to accept that I enjoy listening to Yeezus the most, I listen to it the most, it became definite that Yeezus was one of his best albums and HML came along with it as his best song. Chief Keef, killed it.. Justin Vernon, wow.. Kanye West, captivating.. f--- me that is he best verse of ALL TIME!!! Came in with 1 verse and that's all he f---ing needed. Okay.. that was a bit of an exaggerating but it's essential to know all the words.

OUT!

Hope you liked my list and didn't take it too seriously if you disagree with it. It's more of a personal list mixed with my own experiences and how much I enjoy the songs, but I tried to be a tad objective as well.

(trigger warning: possible stanning ahead)
the point of this rollout is to watch an artist in his prime make multiple sonic paintings and just to shut up and enjoy what you enjoy

u know?

and yes, kanye's in his prime. his last 3 projects were 808s MBDTF and Yeezus. come on.

i think why people are mad (and i completely feel for them) is because this goes against every sane convention in the book when it comes to an album. i just talked with my roommate (who hasnt even heard it yet) and he said "theres one thing thats stood the test of time in music and its cutting an album, a final product, and giving it as a gift to your fans. sharing that moment" and it made me realize kanye is doing literally the complete opposite.

but its something immeasurably more personal and intimate, and we're all kind of ignoring that.

yes i want a final product to chronicle and place in rankings and blah blah blah. but for now, im fascinated by this rollout and im truly enjoying every minute of it and hope it isnt over

if it was over, itd be kind of a letdown. it would seem half assed to me tbh. go the entire way. release a different version of these tracks if you want. or new tracks entirely

idk man
