the song should be treasured and preserved for the rest of humankind's existance as it is the pinnacle of all music

 

[blame space]

that top 10 in the OP 👌🏻

 

[torre_avenue]

🤔

can we do another thread about 808s

Next year is the 10th anniversary of that album.

 

[blame space]

can't wait.

 

[Effigenius]

Didnt remember the song until I listened to it. Very forgettable imo.

How in the world.

 

[Icolin]

Great single and great music video. Definitely one of Kanye's best.

But I Wonder is the best song on Graduation.

 

[Magnus]

I thought this was going to be about the Britney song.

I thought it was going to be about the Kelly Clarkson song. I didn't remember this Kanye song until I listened to it again. Not crazy about it. It's borderline annoying.

 

[blame space]

none of these songs are borderline anything. they are all great songs.

 

[gun_haver]

Yeah I think Graduation is my favourite variant of Kanye's sound. There are a couple of shitty songs on it but all the ones that aren't shitty are really good.

 

[Icolin]

Top 10 Kanye songs: Runaway, On Sight, Blood on The Leaves, Street Lights, Stronger, Flashing Lights, Touch The Sky, Hey Mama, Roses, Lost in The World

Decent list.

Mine is: Runaway, Blood on The Leaves, I Wonder, Street Lights, Flashing Lights, Hey Mama, Family Business, Lost in The World, FML, All of The Lights

 

[blame space]

street lights 😭

 

[ZeoVGM]

Time for my monthly full playthrough of Kanye's discography.

Thanks, thread.

 

[Bronx-Man]

That's a Cudi album, not Kanye tho 🤔

Let's dispel this false narrative

 

[blame space]

yeah fake news

 

[Syriel]

Read the title, came in expecting this:

If you're looking for a good Kanye song, nothing beats Power.

 

[blame space]

"see you in my nightmares" is one of the top breakup songs ever. And that's on an album full of breakup songs.

i love Kanye West.

 

[blame space]

the conversation and the listening always ends at mbdtf and that's where I'm at right now. stronger is good but there is so much here that surpasses it.

 

[Nightbird]

One of my favorite tracks of his.

Graduation is probably my favorite rap album of all time. I really enjoy listening to it.

 

[5taquitos]

Best version of "Stronger" is the Alive 2007 - Around the World / Harder Better Fast Stronger mix.

Kanye's version doesn't even register.

 

[hughesta]

can I start a thread about how insanely good Yeezus is

 

[blame space]

yeezus is the masterpiece of this century.

 

[hughesta]

you're a good dude blame

 

[Angelus Errare]

Time to give Graduation another spin.

Flashing Lights, whew.

 

[Umbooki]

Song was hot back then, but Flashing Lights >>>

14 year old me wasn't ready.

 

[Icolin]

Yeezus is Kanye's second best album, just behind MBDTF. Masterpiece.

Song was hot back then, but Flashing Lights >>>

14 year old me wasn't ready.

When the synth arps come in

 

[vikki]

First heard this track on the way to a softball tournament. I was like "hey, Kanye sampled Daft Punk." Then the person I was riding with played it another 10 times back and forth from the tournament. I feel like Kanye gave Daft Punk mainstream exposure and kind of opened the door for the rise of Edm in pop culture.

 

[friskykillface]

I thought this was going to be about the Britney song.

Same, love that song.


They used that song in 18-1, smh I hate that song, cursed the patriots

 

[Bronx-Man]

yeezus is the masterpiece of this century.

The ONLY album of the 2010s I listen to front to back whenever I play it. I love it to death.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Don't trust people that don't have 808s in their top 3 Ye albums.

 

[blame space]

sometimes I think people forget about "all of the lights" (WITH the Fergie verse) and how incredible a track that is.

 

[Icolin]

I think you forgot that MBDTF came out in 2010.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I think you forgot that MBDTF came out in 2010.

I tend to skip Hell of a Life tbh. Still a masterpiece too tho

 

[blame space]

hell of a life seems like filler until you get accustomed to it. like Barry bonds, actually.

 

[hughesta]

I think you forgot that MBDTF came out in 2010.

MBDTF is a masterpiece but Yeezus is more replayable, the songs are punchier and often shorter, but still full of detailed production that makes you want to hear them again and again

 

[Blablurn]

Awesome song

Wasn't ready for it when it came out

 

[MrS]

Stronger is one of the worst songs on Graduation but it's another classic Yeezy album. Can't Tell Me Nothing is Kanye encapsulated and he's one of the all time greats for sure. Crazy that it's been 10 years.

Spoiler

WE GO THROUGH TOO MUCH BULLSHIT JUST TO MESS WITH THESE DRUNK AND HOT GIIIIIIIRLS

MBDTF is a masterpiece but Yeezus is more replayable, the songs are punchier and often shorter, but still full of detailed production that makes you want to hear them again and again

MBDTF is overrated and I've been a fan since Freshman Adjustment. Yeezus, TCD and LR are all better than it.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Exactly

The drums on that song continue to amaze me to this day. I don't even know how Kanye managed to dream up that drum pattern.

 

[blame space]

at the same time, yeezus doesn't have features like so appalled, or devil in a new dress, or runaway.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Top 10 Kanye at this moment

Stronger, Through the Wire, Runaway, Black Skinhead, Gorgeous, Spaceship, Diamonds from Sierra Leone, Devil In a New Dress, Welcome to Heartbreak, Hold My Liquor

 

[MrS]

at the same time, yeezus doesn't have features like so appalled, or devil in a new dress, or runaway.

Swizz Beats is awful on So Appalled and his presence renders the song dog shit. Step away from your PC.

If we doin top 10 Kanye:

Can't Tell Me Nothing, Gone, Facts (Charlie Heat Version), Power Remix (Kanye's last verse is ridiculous ), Cold (AKA Theraflu), Coldest Winter, Runaway, Spaceship, Blood on the Leaves, Black Skinhead

 

[blame space]

there's only one or two bad songs in his entire discography, which is insane.

no that track is still 🔥 in spite of him.

 

[EloquentM]

Blame is ride or die for ye

The drums on that song continue to amaze me to this day. I don't even know how Kanye managed to dream up that drum pattern.

The drums on the OG mix were a far cry from studio

 

[Glazed]

all the barry bonds and drunk and hot girls hate needs to be redirected to waves

 

[Neophant]

I'll always remember seeing Kanye live in concert and awkwardly dancing with the song. Was a really fun time, and up there in my fave concerts of all time.

Graduation the album was pretty good. Homecoming, Champion and Flashing Lights were probably the best tracks.

 

[blame space]

Rick Ross's verse on devil in a new dress 🤓

 

[Icolin]

The drums on that song continue to amaze me to this day. I don't even know how Kanye managed to dream up that drum pattern.

Yeah, it's on another level. Same thing with his sample use; not only do I not understand how he finds some of these samples, but how he manipulates them is incredible.

Rick Ross's verse on devil in a new dress

So good. That instrumental interlude in the middle, the sample, the drums... such an amazing track.

 

[blame space]

I forgot about runaway, even though I just mentioned it. god damn this shit wrecks me. what a song.
