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

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

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.

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.

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. :(
