Kanye West 2 Part-Post (Revised Top Songs & Album Ranking)

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.

Honorbale Mentions: Spaceship, Devil in a New Dress, Coldest Winter, Big Brother, Slow Jamz, Touch the Sky, Power Remix, Monster, Amazing

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

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93
