1.
Gold Digger-
To be honest, I didn’t like this song the first time I heard it. The beat
is so infectious, and the lyrics are so clever, and that hook. Its his best
song to date! He raps about a gold digging chick lol.
2.
All Falls
Down- Kanye is extremely introspective on this song. The hook and beat make
it great. This is ranked so high because it was the song that really propelled
him to superstardom in 2004.
3.
Jesus Walks-A
controversial song about Jesus being with those in need. Its just plain
awesome. But I wouldn’t expect him to make a JW2 lol. Not in a million years.
4.
Can’t Tell
Me Nothing- The best song on Graduation is dope. It’s a dark sounding
banger. Kanye drops lyrical gems here. The Jeezy sample and the other sample
are pure genius.
5.
Power- The
aggressive first single to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Its explosive,
controversial, and braggadocios. The lyrics are what puts it over the next song
on this list.
6.
Stronger- This
song uses a Daft Punk sample to perfection. It’s got a great hook and beat.
Kanye’s lyrics aren’t his best, but this is just a great song. I really like
how it’s dragged out at the end.
7.
Heartless-Arguably
the best song off 808’s and Heartbreak. Heartless is just so smooth and bitter
at the same time. Did I mention the beat? This should have been the lead single
if you ask me.
8.
Diamonds
From Sierra Leone- The lead single off Late Registration features a cooler
than cool beat, a glossy sample, and Kanye spitting hot fire. He compares
Diamonds to his label Rocafella Records. It’s a classic song.
9.
Black
Skinhead-This is one explosive song. It has a tribal feel to it. It just
seems kind of odd Kanye rapped 300 like the Romans, and not the Spartans. It’s
the best song Kanye has done since 2010 in my opinion.
10.
Good Life-This
is a great feel good song. It has a Michael Jackson sample from P.Y.T. which
works out well. Kanye’s lyrics are underrated here. Of course there’s T-Pain
who has a minimal but effective role.
