My Favorite Kanye West Songs(Top 25)


25) Amazing: 808’s and Heartbreak- Kanye is joined by Young Jeezy. This song has a really eerie feel to it. Jeezy’s verse isn’t bad. This song doesn’t really fit on the album if you ask me, but its one of my favorite songs by Mr. West.



24) Robocop: 808s- This song has a really cool beat. The song is almost new territory for Kanye singing auto-tune on the entire record.



23) Crack Music: Late Registration- Kanye is joined by the Game here. It’s a lil disappointing that Game doesn’t spit a verse but this is still a great song. The song’s elements blend together really well.



22) Get Em High: College Dropout- West is joined by Talib and Common. Talib’s verse seems to be the best….Common’s verse didn’t impress me that much when I first heard it. The beat has a mysterious feel to it.



21) Monster:My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy- Its hard to not like a song where West is joined by Jay-z, Rick Ross, and Nicki Minaj.  It’s a twisted creepy swagga like us type record, but I must say Ross’s verse is lackluster, while Nicki’s verse is show-stealing.



20) I Wonder: Graduation- One of my favorites for a few reasons. Kanye raps slowly on this awesome beat. The sample is really well used here also.



19) Gone: LR- Kanye is joined by Consequence and Camron here….but neither mc can steal the show from Kanye. The last verse is really hot.



18) Jesus Walks: CD- A very deep song that may seem awkward considering K’s new persona with MBDTF. Regardless this song helped really put Kanye out there.



17) Through the Wire: CD- This was the first time I heard Kanye rap on his own record. I could really tell that he was going to be a successful rapper. The story behind this song is great.



16) Good Life: G-The ultimate feel good song. T-Pain does a good job here. Kanye sampled MJ’s P.Y.T. song here. I really like the verses. They are pretty comical and dope at the same time.



15) Touch the Sky: LR- It may seem odd that this song is so far back but it made the top 15. This was actually the first time I heard Lupe rap and I was impressed. The beat is explosive and the verses are great.



14) Heartless: 808s- Arguably the best song on the album. The song just has that feel to it, not to mention one of the better beats that Kanye has made. End result: Auto-tune done right!



13) Gold Digger: LR- Another eyebrow raiser….this is possibly Kanye’s biggest hit. Gold Digger has it all….a great chorus from Jamie Foxx, and clever rhymes from Mr. West. The beat however is just above average.



12) Lost in the World: MBDTF- A very creative song with an awesome incorporation of sounds!



11) The Glory: G- A great record with impressive lyrics….Excellent use of samples.



10) Can’t Tell Me Nothing: G-Arguably K’s best song…but it has its flaws. I really like how Kanye stepped it up lyrically here. You really cant pick at his ability at all here. Average beat though.



9)Big Brother: G-Kanye’s ode to his big bro Jay-z aka the God MC. It’s a very deep song that’s well rounded also. Kanye didn’t produce this beat but its pretty hot. A great way to end the album.



8) Diamonds Remix: LR-Another dope song. Interesting enough Kanye put this song on the album and put the regular version as a bonus track. Jay wins on this song as referenced on the aforementioned Big Brother song.



7) Last Call: CD- A great song where Kanye tells his story…



6) POWER:MBDTF- A very cool song that kind of reminds me of his Stronger song. Power is fast paced and hard hitting. Excellent lyrical delivery. When I first heard this song I really didn’t notice anything odd about it till I saw the controversial video.



5) Dark Fantasy: MBDTF- the perfect intro...i was surprised by Leona Louis’ added part to the chorus. This song has a terrific beat. Kanye really does a good job lyrically also.



4) Stronger: G- One of my favorite rap songs period. The sample is perfect….and his lyrics aren’t bad either. This is a very creative song



3) Devil in a New Dress: MBDTF- Kanye spits fire here, I mean serious fire lol. Rick Ross comes in with a dope verse at the end.



2) All Falls Down: CD- An incredible record that really put Yeezy on the map. I absolutely love the chorus and the way West consciously goes over several topics including a “young black female addicted to retail.”





1) All of the Lights: MBDTF- This actually ranks about the same as the top 4….but this is one incredible song! Kanye is joined by Rihanna and Kid Cudi…and a whole host of other artists. Kanye raps about the troubles of stardom…although I don’t think he’s telling his story.



Well that’s the list….there was only room for so many songs….honorable mention to some other Kanye songs I really like :Slow Jamz, Diamonds From Sierra Leone, Good Morning, Coldest Winter, and Gorgeous

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
