Kanye West's 10 Best Songs

D Trem
Kanye West personifies arrogance, talent, ambition and confidence. He is known for his larger-than-life ego, but is it justified? What are the top ten Kanye West songs?

1. When it all falls down: This song has a soulful beat and a great hook. It shows black America's obsession with material possessions. It also as some great verses.

2. Stronger: Stronger is one of Kanye's best singles to date. The Daft Punk sample is sick! His lyrics and delivery are the best they have ever been.

3. Jesus Walks: The heart thumping beat, along with the message, make this song a classic. Who would have thought a song about Jesus would crack the top 20 on pop radio?

4. Can't Tell me Nothing: This song is perhaps his most fierce and arrogant to date. It's a slap in the face to all the haters and critics.

5. Through the Wire: Kanye made a splash on the rap scene with this soulful joint. This is arguably one of his most autobiographical songs to date.

6. The Glory: This song hasn't even received single treatment yet, but it is amazing. The production and song lyrics make it a standout album track.

7. Hey Mama: This song can be found on Kanye's second LP, Late registration. It's a nice little rap number about his mama that has recently gain more significance.

8. Gold Digger: Kanye West shows why he is the sample king! Getting Jamie Fox to sing the ray Charles took it to the next level.

9. Slow jams: This is the song that introduced Kanye to the world. It has Kanye's one-liners and a killer Luther Vandross sample.

10. Diamonds from Sierra Leone: This samples the James Bond theme song, Diamonds are forever. This is Kanye West's attempt at being a socially conscious rapper. He succeeds! The remix with Jay Z is even better.

    good list, the only thing i would have liked to see in there was homecoming, i love that song, was good live too. rest is good.

    Yeah, I definitely agree. Family Business was probably his best or one of his best songs. It's sad how he has changed his music compared to Late Registration, College Dropout, and even Graduation.

    lets not forget selfish by slum village, kanye west, and john legend. all the new songs are nothing compared to the stuff he did way back and that goes for all the other well known artists ( well most of them). if only hip-hop artists kept their music underground an dnot live stream only to appeal to the audience or viewers. real artists make music for the passion of it not for the money, real artists do it because they feel like they need to make a point. underground music and styles of music like dubstep should be kept underground and preserved because they are getting fewer and fewer of artists so unique like them such as biggie smalls, tupac, and sort of eminem. all the music you hear on the radio such as lil wanye and etc, thats not how it used to be. rap used to be goo dand it still is because of the most unheard underground songs anr artists that are keepin gthe real music alive and if you havent heard this kind of music then i feel sad for you because your missing out on the mu
