WARNING: Yeezy Season Approaching

WARNING: Yeezy Season Approaching

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
