 All Falls Down-I could make a top ten list of reasons I love this track, but one reason is that it samples an unreleased Lauryn Hill song that she performed on MTV Unplugged. | One of the more interesting things about Kanye West is that for every ounce of public arrogance & immaturity he has, there's an ounce of brilliance. He's so brilliant, that despite having just under 10 years on his resume`, he's a contender for a hip-hop throne. I believe his sharp musical ear (he was a producer before he was a signed act), candid nature & honesty are what make West appealing to his audience. Here's a list of some of my favorite Yeezy cuts. I intentionally tried to pick songs some may not know (with the exception of a few). West's new album, "Yeezus," drops June 18th. |
| Spaceship-Anyone who's worked for pennies or check to check w/ a jerk boss can relate to this song. "If boss insults me again, I will be assaulting him." Crack Music Bring Me Down ft. Brandy-"Everybody wanna run to me for their single...wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself.." Celebration-One of the few senseless songs Kanye has done; yet, it't my guilty pleasure. 
(Prelude Instrumental) All of the Lights- This prelude is so dark, haunting & beautiful all at the same time; fitting its album's title. It's breathtaking. I listen to it by itself all the time. | We Don't Care- "We weren't supposed to make it past 25, the jokes on you, we're still alive." Roses-Kanye lets us in often, believe it or not. Here, he tells the story of losing his grandmother. Shout-out to Patti Labelle, who's featured on the track. Addiction-"Why everything that's supposed to be bad make me feel so good?" I Wonder-"You say I think I'm never wrong; you know what? Maybe you're right, aight?" Power-This song makes me feel like the Incredible Hulk. Love yet another DC reference to Kelly Rowland. My favorite line is "They said I was an abomination of Obama's nation, well, that's a pretty bad way to start a conversation." Speaks volumes. Blame Game ft. John Legend-This was the soundtrack to my life at one point. Needless to say it was a dark time. | ||||
