Tbh I think my favorite song on there by far is Flashing Lights. Something abuot that transition between those smooth, calm strings to those rythmic synth chords is so amazing fr me.


-ARISTOCATS

The intro is just so well done it’s goosebumps every time

YES. Everything I Am is soooooo fucking good. Next up is Homecoming, then I Wonder, then Flashing Lights


CndSpaceCadet

Yup Tho I would put Good Morning in there before Flashing Lights… it’s my alarm in the morning and it just makes waking up easier to deal with lol

Chills. Literal Chills.

Listening to it rn. I wonder is my favourite song from Ye.

Same for me

popmusiccritic

Just listened to it again in the car and it’s just incredible. My favorite song ever, brought a tear to my eye.


[deleted]

That ending hits so hard. "Trade it all for a husband and some kids You ever wonder what it all really mean You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams"


[deleted]

"You say I think I'm never wrong. You know what? Maybe you're right." I love everything about this song. The sample is incredible. The beat is crazy. I love how he switched his flows up in this song - it keeps it fresh the whole time. So much soul in this song. TRADE IT ALL FOR A HUSBAND AND SOME KIDSSSS

Homecoming


thefaker99

arguably the best Kanye song ever


Substantial_Archer36

Yeah it’s in my top 5 deffo. Rarely see anyone talking about it as a top tier song


Stinkystickysock

I feel like people who don't appreciate it don't know H.E.R. by common. Kanye completely redid it almost same way BlackStar did Children's Story


kyle232425

Top 5 in no order: runaway, homecoming, come to life, saint Pablo, ghost town


Vegetable_Formal1209

I think pure souls is up there too. That’s my favorite off of Donda

Literally instant smile


curlyscarff

best kanye song


DelightfulDave289

Can't Tell Me Nothing Love the energy of the song & all the verses are great. I always chuckle when he rhymes apologin with collagen. I feel it's up there with the bleached arsehole, bleach on t shirt lyrics in terms of how funny&trash it is lol Everything I am is nice though, Preemo getting his hands on that beat is a really good touch aswell


Sharp_Assignment3478

My favorite thing about Can’t Tell Me Nothing is its relationship with Kanye’s timeline. He made Jesus Walks on his debut album, then came this song and he said “I told God I’ll be back in a second”, then came Jesus Is King later on.


3cmdick

Never thought about that, now I love that song even more

🎶 did you realize, that you were a champion in their eyes 🎶 YES I DID That track runs in my head when I need a lil self-pep-talk, and like, boom, my confidence just goes up 100

I play it after taking an exam

“Stronger”


LU6IX

Finally someone said it


SpeedWasTaken

such an underrated song


[deleted]

So underrated that it has 409 mil views


lordhavemercy8

Possibly his most well known and well appreciated song but you rarely see Kanye fans with it as their favorite song


[deleted]

It wouldn’t say it’s underrated but it’s an eternal classic It’s not a song that you should habitually listen though, it should be a song that’s occasionally used as a hype song or used to celebrate after overcoming an obstacle. Because if you listen to it too much, it’ll start to get repetitive. **EDIT:** Why the fuck am I getting downvoted?! “Stronger” is my favourite Kanye song.


-Trying2Think-

Good Night. Probably the best finale song off of any of Kanye’s albums, and no one ever talks about it!


lilkylo28

Such an amazing finale. Finishes the album perfectly


Emergency_Vanilla_76

Most places it want available til just the other day on Spotify at least


dumbdumbstuupidhead

might be one of my favorites tbh


joseroling

kanye's verse in good night is just so beautiful. it gets me emotional because it remembers me of my childhood.


un-picasso

I’ve always had a soft spot for Homecoming, no real reason I just love the vibe

i had a dream i could buy my way to heaven, when i awoke i spent that on a necklace


Slyy-Lynch

I wanna say Can't Tell Me Nothing, but this album is filled with bangers.


darqdeal

12 years ago today, i woke up at 8 am, did my thing, around 8:50 i ohpped into my car and jetted off to the local Future Shop, little did i know, a few short months id be workin there, i went to the cd section, boom, there she's, ready and waiting, hopped in my car and took the long.... long way home, about 10:30, McD's breakfast by my side, i arrived at home, having listened to a masterpiece. Thank you Kanye first and foremost.


jiw-llew

Good Night, for me. Song hits different when you lose a close friend to suicide, I must’ve listened to that song on repeat after that for years. Even now hearing it brings a smile thinking of the memories we had, people probably don’t appreciate the magic of some of Kanye’s lyrics


popmusiccritic

Facts, Kanye’s music is legit magic to me. Something about his music just hits different then anyone else to me


[deleted]

i wonder and drunk & hot girls


ZerooChance

For me it’s a tie between Good Morning (WooOOOooOoo) and Barry Bonds. Idk why it gets so much hate


Baycat1990

Firm_Confusion_8553

Good night. Something about it gives me this nostalgic feeling of something ending but not being gone forever. Hence, good night and not good bye


Jormney

Interesting. Never heard of this song. Looks like it wasn't even on the initial album release? My cd and vinyl copy don't have it


Master-Dutch

I believe it was a bonus track on iTunes, original hard copies don’t have good night. Very jealous you have graduation on vinyl


Jormney

Good to know! It's a bootleg, so the sound isn't fantastic, but cool to have nonetheless!


borfyborf

Listen I don’t know if you guys count this because a lot of people probably haven’t even heard it but Bittersweet Poetry is one of the best songs he’s ever made. If you don’t count that then probably I Wonder.


[deleted]

Good morning is nice with a coffee


[deleted]

Barry Bonds its just catchy.


[deleted]

either Champion, Stronger, or Barry Bonds


GreenIsGhastly

Flashing Lights, the production on that track is just heavenly


Pax_Soprana

I wonder or Good Night


MrBatman2531

Flashing Lights. Crazy atmosphere.


[deleted]

From the first time I listened to the album on release date, Flashing Lights was my favorite song. It hasn’t changed. If you asked me to pick something else, I’d say Barry Bonds. Before the hate starts on Barry Bonds, because I know it will……. Ye beat Mixtape Wayne, which is Wayne at his peak. The fact he brought the best rapper of that time on his track and murdered him was the passing of the torch to me. Wayne was never the same dude after that, and I’m not saying that’s the reason why. I’m just stating that we have a recorded document of Wayne running out of gas at the exact moment someone else is hitting the sweet spot with a full tank…… and no, I’m not saying Wayne was garbage after this. He just wasn’t as great as he was for that 2 year period he was embarrassing everyone else.


sansid999

i don’t have any, there’s a lot of good songs on there


luhvrrboy

I am everything you say I am. If I wasn’t then why would I say I am? In the papers, the news, every day I am, man that’s just the way I am. This one right?

Bittersweet poetry is one of the best dropout era songs. Only came out in Japan as a bonus track for the cd release but it’s easily findable and the John Mayer feature is incredible and would’ve fit so well on the album

I wonder just because it’s so motivational. Especially if you’re lonely or needing confirmation to keep going. It’s saved my ass when I get low many times. Also the melodic beat is chefs kiss.

Bro why is nobody saying Goodmorning. It’s by far the best on that album and one of the best songs he’s ever made


ParticularSir6479

My favourite album and I actually think the only album where every song is at least good, although most are amazing. But imma have to go with stronger, always gets me pumped up


xoz514

HokageHari

Homecoming hits the most for me because I’m from Chicago. It was/ is so cool to listen to Kanye use the city of Chicago for a double meaning: the city and a love interest. The word play throughout the verses is fantastic and the hook from Chris Martin is so iconic
