With the new Kanye West album, So Help Me God, getting set to drop at moment's notice, it was only right to go ahead and rank Kanye's Top 25 songs. The songs are solely from his solo albums, which means no "Watch The Throne" on this list. With that being said, let's get started.
25. Coldest Winter, 808s & Heartbreak
24. Blood On The Leaves, Yeezus
23. Breathe In Breathe Out, The College Dropout
22. Gorgeous. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
21. Homecoming. Graduation
20. Diamonds From Sierra Leone, Late Registration
19. Blame Game, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
18. Love Lockdown, 808s & Heartbreak
17. New Slaves, Yeezus
16. Slow Jamz, The College Dropout
15. Champion, Graduation
14. Stronger, Gradution
13. Hold My Liquor, Yeezus
12. Heard 'Em Say, Late Registration
11. Monster, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
10. Jesus Walks, The College Dropout
This song wasn't named Best Rap Song at the Grammy's for no reason.
9. Power, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Well, if Kanye is a superhero, he needs a theme song and “Power" is just that.
8. Can't Tell Me Nothing, Graduation
Have you ever played this song and not started singing? Rhetorical question.
7. Flashing Lights, Graduation
Many critics view this as the best song on Graduation, but it comes in at a close second on my list. The song is catchy and leaves you wondering, “Man, why can't life always be this easy?"
6. Good Life, Graduation
The best song on Graduation, and I know many people would agree with this. Maybe it's because of T-Pain and the fact that everyone knows the chorus perfectly, but this song is just like “Can't Tell Me Nothing," in that whenever you play it, people stop what they're doing.
5. Gold Digger, Late Registration
No words necessary. Coming in hot at number 5 is “Gold Digger."
4. Touch The Sky, Late Registration
THE TRUMPETS. Once the trumpets start, you know it's going to be a good time.
3. Runaway, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
“Runaway" serves as an apology to Taylor Swift following the VMA debacle and may have ended up being one of Kanye's best songs ever. It's just 9 minutes of pure greatness as Kanye is at his best here.
2. All Of The Lights, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
The last song from MBDTF, I swear. After his short hiatus from music, Kanye released “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" and “Watch The Throne" back to back, which may have been the greatest thing to ever happen to music. The features alone on the track are just unbelievable. John Legend, The-Dream, Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Elton John, and Rihanna all appear on the song. No wonder it easily won Best Rap Performance and was the first rap song ever nominated for Song of the Year at the Grammy's.
1. Through the Wire, The College Dropout
Kanye's debut single remains his best song to date and for good reason. The song was even recorded with his jaws wired together after a terrible car accident two weeks before.
