Power and Runaway, the greatest Rap songs ever made. And a top 10 songs in any genre

[@Oioisavaloy]

I remember sleeping at a friend's house, late 2010/early 2011 and just channel hopping between MTV and the other music channels. 'Cause it was late night they were playing the full length videos and I remember seeing the intro with the small girl and not being super interested and then the violins cut, the screen flashes multicoloured and the different text and symbolism and the Def Jam logo and Hype Williams name. It's literally giving me goosebumps writing this. Very rarely does something like that happen. Such a cool moment in time.

[@lobo_solo214]

My favorite Ye songs: 1. Runaway 2. I heard em say 3. Blood on the leaves

[@hiphopdx]

Great list!

[@JohnBurgundy]

Last Call!

[@joepropsnyc]

The older I get, the more I appreciate Kanye. He’s by far my favorite artist/producer.

[@thekaleabsamuel]

Man you’re a true student to the game, thank you for these videos fr

[@hiphopdx]

Thank you for watching and appreciating

[@bl2528]

If MBDTF is Ye’s magnum opus, All Of The Lights is the climactic, grandiose symphony layered with vocals and synths

[@hiphopdx]

Perfectly said

[@corvoswsattano]

I fell absolutely in love with all of the lights the first time I heard it, one of the first songs I bought on iTunes, it’s such a beautiful piece of art, you play that loud with two 12s at full volume and that shit will make you fucking ascend ❤

[@SandySanderson_95]

Runaway is Kanye’s masterpiece because the lyrics are so deeply connected to him, but All of the Lights is one of music’s greatest masterpieces, you’d be hard to find someone who doesn’t like it

[@cbrown940]

Runaway. The intro is simply 2 notes playing just slightly out of step but in sync for what seems like forever... THEN it hits. HARD. Just like the lyrics suggest the relationship pattern was. Masterpiece.

[@hiphopdx]

Honestly incredible song

[@DomSte128]

My favorite Kanye's verse in a featuring song is "American Boy", by Estelle. That song is timeless and his verse fits so well with the themes and mood of the song.

[@freetheplay3448]

Graduation era Ye could do no wrong 🔥

[@mkdadon2245]

Ye is a genius period

[@askannav2094]

Whilst All of the Lights is a master piece. The song that shows that Kanye is on another level as a producer for me is No Church in the Wild. It is like a timestamp of his situation in 2012. Brillantly composed.

[@MrTrigz]

I aint gonna lie.... i was overwhelmed by this when it came out.... this shyt was O.D. Timeless album as well!!!

[@Chinornor]

I can't recall when i first heard this song, but know this, it has never died in my head and i get goosebumps hearing it on the radio or tv station ❤

[@MarkHallOfFame]

Graduation is my favorite Kanye album, but MBDTF is a VERY close 2nd. So much so that I’m not mad at ALL if someone says it’s his best album.

[@mrmxyzptlk8906]

MBDTF is widely considered his greatest rapper.

[@YamzieMoyo]

It's a truly majestic piece.

[@mrmxyzptlk8906]

Why do you keep calling Ye a producer… stop looking down on him, you’re speaking for no one but yourself. Kanye West is the greatest RAPPER. Not just the greatest producer. His rapping is untouchable. His songwriting is unmatched. It’s why he wiped Jay on WTT, and Kendrick on NMPILA, and it’s why said Em said dissing Ye would be career suicide. Kanye West is the King of Rap, because he’s the greatest RAPPER and the greatest producer. I’m disappointed in you guys for insulting him.

[@hiphopdx]

He is definitely one of the greatest rappers of all time also, this song was just focused on him as an executive producer

[@mrmxyzptlk8906]

@@hiphopdx alright, thought you were looking down on him. My bad then Also he ain’t one of, he’s the greatest. He’s the only rapper on MJ and Elvis level. No other rapper has remained at the height of popularity for 2 decades and got even bigger, and drop albums just as good as his best albums still. And have 7 classic albums in a row. Ye is the 👑

The way y’all hype up mtdf not knowing 808 and heart breaks and mtdf were the first albums that weren’t truly him. The best parts are other artist lyrics or styles from other artists. It began the misjudgment of what he produced for us. It started the yes you can’t do nothing wrong ye. We as fans gave him to much power for being another dj Khalid after graduation. Back to being a hater. :(

[@sageofthesix9608]

That’s a good opinion.

[@tammym3661]

He needs to chill for a while. He is a smart man. He needs to get some class back and watch and listen to all of the happenings around him unfold and shut his mouth for a bit. Just my 2 cents.
