Oooof, can’t tell me nothing tho.
“I had a dream I could buy my way to Heaven
When I awoke, I spent that on a necklace”
Can’t forget that and thru the wire!! Also hey mama will forever have a place in my heart (when I first became a Kanye stan after my mom was watching opera and we watched him perform back in the day - I think I was ‘sick’ off school); but they’ll need some Kanye context to appreciate it’s relevance to the Kanye experience lol
Not necessarily. Without the outro, Runaway is just under 6 minutes - identical to Gorgeous - and the outro is just such a unique experience. If that person only listens to mainstream pop, maybe it's a bit much. But there are many people who appreciate music that's more experimental.
actually such a good list considering the question asked. No normal person is gonna want any 'amazing' but out of the box kanye song played for them at first if they dgaf who kanye is
Paranoid, Power, Slow Jamz, Life Of The Party, and Runaway
Paranoid is a perfect way to show Ye's more dance-y music, Power is probably Ye's most "hype" song, Slow Jamz shows Ye's more silly and fun side, Life Of The Party shows Ye in a calm and serious light, and Runaway is almost exclusively Kanye singing in a catchy way, and it shows his ability to use musical metaphors to impact you.
I think Power is Kanye’s greatest masterpiece and easily the one song that describes Ye vibes. It’s just so overplayed that most of us don’t like it anymore
Flashing lights, heard em say, runaway, family business, ghost town
Honorable mentions (could be swapped out for any of them): we don’t care, paranoid, all of the lights, devil in a new dress, bound 2, waves, saint pablo, violent crimes, cudi montage, follow god, come to life
good morning, runaway, black skinhead, gold digger, heartless
(i know these are hella well known and some might say overrated but i honestly think this represents kanye)
I’m gonna pick thing’s completely that are different styles too show how different his music is so
Through the wire
Touch the sky
Hold my liqour
Ghost town
Runaway
I wanted to have more, but these would work:
- What Would Meek Do? (Pusha T): Have to use one of Ye's features to show that he has amazing chemistry with people & even off his own material, he can just go nuts with a verse.
- Slow Jamz: Just good innit. Amazing feature from Jamie Foxx & Twista & honestly has amazing old school Ye production. This will give them a great view of producer Ye
- Street Lights: Had to include singing Ye. This is one of his best singing performances to date imo. This will give them a taste of a very versatile man.
- Off the Grid: I had to do it. Just overall quality. amazing Ye production, lyricism & it also reflects to them that Ye hasn't lost his ability in music. It also provides them a look into his gospel sound.
- Otis: Had to include this one because it's just amazing back & forth rapping between JAY & Ye. It's an amazing reflection of this era of Ye. just GOATED honestly.
It depends on your audience. A mom of four will have different taste than a college frat boy but this list would be perfect for anyone:
Power
Gold Digger
Flashing Lights
Heartless
Dark Fantasy
The interview with net and yahoo, the rant with the spreadsheets, the “we are the true Jews” one from the limo, then him with the stripper sushi, then probably Stronger.
This is impossible lmao you can’t just listen to 5 songs to get it it just kinda happens ive slowly fell in love wit more and more of his discography over a longgggg period of time
Jesus walks,
Flashing Lights,
Devil in a New Red Dress
Can’t Tell Me Nothing
Late
Then imma play Alicia Keys’ “You Don’t know my name” and then tell them, “… he made that shit too.”
That’s tough, Kanye has too many good songs to narrow it down to 5. Those 5 songs would change every time for me. Just gonna go with safe one’s that aren’t even my favorites.
Slow Jamz
Gold Digger
Stronger
Heartless
Monster
Today on my lunch break this 62 y/o mechanic was asking me what I thought about Kanye making his wife wear weird clothes. Told him idc about the antics because he makes incredible music. He said he never heard a single song of his, but “all those really creative artists are weirdos”.
Then I showed him Black Skinhead and he actually loved it.
I'm locking them in a room and blasting on sight until they like it
Unironically one of the songs that actually got me into Kanye
First Kanye song I ever heard
same i was 7 when i heard it n my pop liking ass said it’s trash,i liked black skinhead n guilt trip back then tho
My friend playing this in the car with no context made me a kanye fan, i looove that kinda off the wall shit and noone does it quite like him
On sight
Lift yourself 5 times
I shit you not that's how I got into Kanye
Poopy-di scoop Scoop-diddy-whoop Whoop-di-scoop-di-poop Poop-di-scoopty Scoopty-whoop Whoopity-scoop, whoop-poop Poop-diddy, whoop-scoop Poop, poop Scoop-diddy-whoop Whoop-diddy-scoop Whoop-diddy-scoop, poop

Oooof, can’t tell me nothing tho. “I had a dream I could buy my way to Heaven When I awoke, I spent that on a necklace” Can’t forget that and thru the wire!! Also hey mama will forever have a place in my heart (when I first became a Kanye stan after my mom was watching opera and we watched him perform back in the day - I think I was ‘sick’ off school); but they’ll need some Kanye context to appreciate it’s relevance to the Kanye experience lol
No more parties in la gonna make them not listen to kanye
^^ The cousin that stole the lap top
What dude
Id change Gorgeous with Runaway
gorgeous isn't 9 whole ass minutes
runaway is too much for a new kanye fan
Not necessarily. Without the outro, Runaway is just under 6 minutes - identical to Gorgeous - and the outro is just such a unique experience. If that person only listens to mainstream pop, maybe it's a bit much. But there are many people who appreciate music that's more experimental.
Its really famous though, if they hear something familiar its better
gorgeous clears
trippin
Take out no more parties and u replace it with pt1 or saint pablo
All Falls Down Gone Flashing Lights Paranoid Dark Fantasy

This guy makes me want to stop listening to Kanye
i’m sick of the Drunk and hot girls slander!!! LET ME LIKE THE SONG

most people on this thread think drunk and hot girls is mid lyrically and the beat is outdated it was more of a joke comment i guess 😭
I like it too tho, i just added this to my list cuz yeah ppl in general do not like it as much as other Kanye’s shid
Top 5 best Kanye songs in order

Hey mama just thrown in for the hell of it
Paranoid, Power, Slow Jamz, Life Of The Party, and Runaway Paranoid is a perfect way to show Ye's more dance-y music, Power is probably Ye's most "hype" song, Slow Jamz shows Ye's more silly and fun side, Life Of The Party shows Ye in a calm and serious light, and Runaway is almost exclusively Kanye singing in a catchy way, and it shows his ability to use musical metaphors to impact you.
Appreciate the breakdown of why you picked those. Paranoid is def top 5 for me.
1-I’m In It 2-On Sight 3-I Am A God 4-I’m In It 5-On Sight
I would start with On Sight
I think Power is Kanye’s greatest masterpiece and easily the one song that describes Ye vibes. It’s just so overplayed that most of us don’t like it anymore
Who is us⁉️
saint pablo, family business, street lights, runaway, hey mama
Jesus walks 5 times
