Drive Slow is top 5 Yeezy songs

Any debate?

Agreed.

Drive Slow, All Falls Down, Heard 'Em Say, Hey Mama, Spaceship.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Drive Slow is top 5 Yeezy songs

Any debate?

Pretty much the only song on LR (my least favorite Yeezy album) that I wholeheartedly love. The video version with the strings at the end is amazing.

 

[solarus]

Agreed.

Drive Slow, All Falls Down, Heard 'Em Say, Hey Mama, Spaceship.

This is a list I can get down with.

 

[RJT]

Through the wire and Familly Business are my favorite Kanye songs. After that, my top 10 will probably change every time I list it. Today, I'd say All Falls Down, Drive Slow, Diamonds, Gone, Everything I Am, Flashing Lights, Power, and Hell of a Life.

 

[Red_Man]

Right in my veins, Kanye doesn't disappoint. Hyped by how many people worked on this too. I love how raw Black Skinhead sounds.

 

[cacophony]

top 5 ye songs is impossible

Devil in a New Dress, POWER, The Glory, Through The Wire, We Don't Care

 

[Fjordson]

I forgot about Gone. That's right outside my top 5.

I used to love Cam'ron back then. He's always a goofy mother fucker, but it was entertaining. And he always got dope production (seriously, listen to some of the beats on Purple Haze).

 

[Osteoperogies]

Touch the Sky, Slow Jamz, Can't Tell me Nothing, Homecoming, Last Call

 

[Dali]

Agreed.

Drive Slow, All Falls Down, Heard 'Em Say, Hey Mama, Spaceship.

How does this list not include the song that put him on the map: Through the Wire?

I'd say TtW, Power, Home (mixtape version), Never Let Me Down, and Jesus Walks.

Soul beat Kanye is best Kanye.

Spoiler

Does a Michael Bolten sample count as a soul beat, lol?

this is almost my list

also, am i the only one who thinks diamonds > diamonds remix

 

[cdyhybrid]

My top 6 songs (not in order):

Flashing Lights
All Falls Down

We Major

Gorgeous

I can't take one out to get it down to 5

I don't really like Through the Wire these days. I did back when it came out, and the circumstances of the recording with his jaw make it one of his most interesting songs he's ever done, but going back to it I don't really like it as much. Maybe I overplayed it back in the day.

Edit:

My top 6 songs (not in order):

Flashing Lights

Ooh, nice choice. One of the few post-Late Registration tracks I really like.

 

[Ashhong]

woo red tape

ps: any list that doesn't include Gone is automatically wrong.

I like his older stuff for that very reason. Seems more personal and real. Like the stuff he says about his girlfriend in Never Let Me Down and Jesus Walks (which apparently was co-written by Rhymefest, but still seems like a very personal song). Also just the whole premise of College Dropout being about where he was in his life, dropping out of college and pursuing music, made the album that much more compelling.

 

[enzo_gt]

Again, way too many Kanye jams but:

Family Business, Welcome To Heartbreak, Blame Game, Never Let Me Down & Drive Slow.

EDIT: Spaceship and Hey Mama as Honourable Mentions.

 

[DMczaf]

I think my favorite part of these song lists is that it's getting me to open up my iTunes and just start listening to random ass Kanye songs when I read a song from a list and go "Oooh, haven't heard that one in a while."

 

[Courage]

Can't Tell Me Nothing is Kanye West's best song of all time, and I think MBDTF is his best album.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

There are very few Kanye songs I dislike, but if I had to pick favorites, it'd probably be along the lines of:

Diamonds from Sierra Leone, Flashing Lights, Jesus Walks, Hell of a Life, and Runaway.

I really like dramatic/angry/sad Kanye, I guess. I love New Slaves and Black Skinhead so I'm really excited for this new album right now.

 

[enzo_gt]

I think my favorite part of these song lists is that it's getting me to open up my iTunes and just start listening to random ass Kanye songs when I read a song from a likst and go "Oooh, haven't heard that one in a while."

I definitely just did that too haha.

808s talk had me listening to Paranoid, and I'm kinda meh on that song, but when I went back to it I was all like "not bad".

 

[Ken Masters]

Can't Tell Me Nothing is Kanye West's best song of all time, and I think MBDTF is his best album.

You realize DJ Toomp produced that song entirely right?

Still a classic song, but interesting how you think a DJ Toomp track is kanyes best work

 

[lastflowers]

I still think 'Gone' is his best track. That song gets me moving no matter what.

 

[Courage]

Always liked DJ Toomp, so I don't see the problem.

it was originally for Jeezy's I Got Money (Remix) hence the Jeezy adlibs in the background. why he didn't use it, IDK. but he ended up on the CTMN remix though.

 

[Village]

1) The remixed version of Drive Slow with T.I ( with the orchestra )
2) It all falls down
3)Gone
4) late
5) I wonder

( as you can see I really Liked LR )

 

[Immaculate]

Daft Punk is working on it? I might just give this a shot I suppose. The name of album is just ..ugh though.

LR is a classic (that and College Dropout).

Also, All Falls Down is so good. I remember first seeing the video on MTV way back when and thinking a) this beat and hook is godly and b) Stacey Dash is fine as fuck.

 

[GoodMorning]

Kanye song cycle lol

Heard 'Em Say, I Wonder, All Falls Down, Can't Tell Me Nothing, Dark Fantasy

 

[Acorn]

I forgot about Gone. That's right outside my top 5.

I used to love Cam'ron back then. He's always a goofy mother fucker, but it was entertaining. And he always got dope production (seriously, listen to some of the beats on Purple Haze).

Dip Set was my shit for a while.

EDIT - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCvxC8rofjs

Loved Cam, He gets computers putin.

 

[Phire Phox]

My top 5:

We don't care
Runaway
The glory
RoboCop
Diamonds from sierra leonne

 

[Blearth]

Not to mention the incredibly lazy act of filling it up with GOOD Friday tracks.

Only song I heard prerelease was Power.

 

[Zekes!]

Man, it's hard choosing my top 5 Yeezy tracks:

Devil in a New Dress
Heard 'Em Say
Everything I Am
Hey Mama
Power

Maybe? I dunno man, Maybe switch out something for All Falls Down

 

[andymcc]

I can't rank my fave tracks but my all-time favorite Yeezy song is definitely "Gone".

 

[Courage]

After Can't Tell Me Nothing, I suppose I can put Runaway and Hey Mama next.

 

[Vman]

Best Kanye song is "Last Call" soooooo gooooood

 

[Ashhong]

I still think 'Gone' is his best track. That song gets me moving no matter what.

I can't rank my fave tracks but my all-time favorite Yeezy song is definitely "Gone".

Fist bump for both of you. Dem strings.

[jon bones]

This is true.

Cudi has a classic.

bro don't even

 

[Pinko Marx]

Always liked DJ Toomp, so I don't see the problem.

Where the hell did DJ Toomp go anyway? Dude was huge for a minute then he just disappeared.

 

[iavi]

I think my favorite Ye track is probably "Addiction". Definitely one of the more underrated in dudes catalog.

 

[andymcc]

bro don't even

he's right. kid cudi has a classic holistic alternative to medicinal sleep aids.

 

[Nemesis_]

My favourite Kanye West song is FLASHING LIGHTS and I didn't know up until about three weeks ago that DWELE was a dude. >_>

 

[Pinko Marx]

he's right. kid cudi has a classic holistic alternative to medicinal sleep aids.

 

[K.Sabot]

Top 5

Flashing Lighs
Good Morning
Diamonds From Sierra Leone
So Appalled
Addiction

Drive Slow just on the edge.

[qizah]

I have the two SNL performances on repeat on YouTube.

Help me.

Spoiler

[IrishNinja]

These are the official rankings

1. MBDTF
2. LR
3. Graduation
4. CD
5. 808s
6. WTT

MBDTF was a bloated mess. Shit barely deserved to be printed to a CD let alone get a grammy

Drive Slow is top 5 Yeezy songs

Any debate?

Can't Tell Me Nothing is Kanye West's best song of all time, and I think MBDTF is his best album.

he's right. kid cudi has a classic holistic alternative to medicinal sleep aids.

 

[Benjamin_MFF]

he's right. kid cudi has a classic holistic alternative to medicinal sleep aids.

He even made a song about it.
