The work put into this video is so sick, all respect to everyone that made it so entertaining. Jon’s commentary and humor, the editing, and that intro made a simple concept seem more interesting.
@@nathane9406 Bro I swear you’re the only one that agrees with me about that. The Jay Z is really good on the remix but Kanye’s verse on the original is insane.
“Runaway” is an 8-bar melody repeated for almost ten minutes. I don’t think it makes much sense to compare it to a more progressively-structured song like that.
To me personally I think choosing a single song doesn't do him justice, so many songs at different moments and time in life touches u that it makes it impossible to choose just one.
Your list was a lot closer to mine than I expected lol, for me it would be: 808’s- Street Lights CD- All Falls Down Donda- Come To Life Graduation- I Wonder MBDTF- Runaway LR- Roses JIK- God Is TLOP- Saint Pablo Ye- Ghost Town D2- Too Easy Yeezus- Black Skinhead
Solid ass list, as good as black skinhead is I feel like new slaves, hold my liquor or blood on the leaves are all top 10 Ye songs and gotta be above it
@@sammcmeekin8897 Honestly I agree lol, but going off personal bias Black Skinhead has been my hype song for so many moments in my life, too many memories associated with it so it’s one of my fav Ye songs
Fav song on every Ye album: 🐻: All Falls Down 📚: Roses 🎓: I Wonder 💔: Heartless 👑: Devil in a New Dress 💿: Hold my Liquor 🍑: Ultralight Beam ⛰: ITAKY 🔵: Use This Gospel ◼: Come to Life
Kanye is my favorite artist of all time and no discography comes even close to his so to pick a fav is nearly impossible but I think I will go with I Wonder and Come to Life
TCD: All Falls Down LR: Touch The Sky Grad: I Wonder 808s: Street Lights MBDTF: Gorgeous Yeezus: Blood On the Leaves TLOP: Saint Pablo Ye: Ghost Town Jik: God is Donda: Come to Life
I really appreciate what Jon is doing here. It's not about choosing the best song but doing that makes us realise how great the discography of kanye is and we are honouring his art by revisiting these albums in a different way again and again.
CD - Through the Wire LR - Gold Digger Grad - I Wonder 808s - Heartless MBDTF - Runaway Yeezus - Bound 2 TLOP - Saint Pablo Ye - Ghost Town KSG - Reborn JIK - Use This Gospel Donda - Come to Life
Seconded! The Weeknd, Lana, J Cole and Kendrick all have some incredibly high highs at different points in their discographies, would love to see any of them
My personal list - All Falls Down - Touch The Sky - Flashing Lights - Paranoid - All Of The Lights - Bound 2 - Wolves - No Mistakes - Follow God - Hurricane
imo it goes - Two Words - Diamonds From Sierra Leone - I Wonder - Paranoid - So Appalled (Devil In A New Dress is super close) - I'm In It (Guilt Trip and Hold My Liquor are basically as good) - Saint Pablo - Ghost Town - Selah - Moon
@@yesmk000 the beauty of his albums is there is literally no wrong answer cause there are so many good songs especially that are very close to being just as good
Here’s my list: The College Dropout: Last Call Late Registration: Heard Em Say Graduation: Can’t Tell Me Nothing 808’s and Heartbreaks: Robocop MBDTF: Dark Fantasy Yeezus: Hold My Liquor TLOP: Wolves Ye: I Thought About Killing You Jesus is King: Hands On Donda: Moon Donda 2: Get Lost

I just went through his whole discography, I dont know what his best track is but some of my favourites are Jesus Walks, Love Lockdown and All Mine and Touch The Sky also Heartless is a classic.
My list: The College Dropout 🐻 - All Falls Down Late Registration 📚 - Hey Mama (my favorite Kanye song) Graduation 🎓 - Flashing Lights or Good Morning (couldn’t choose) 808s & Heartbreak 💔 - Street Lights or Heartless (my first Kanye song) My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 👑 - POWER Yeezus 💽 - Blood on the Leaves or Bound 2 The Life of Pablo 🍑 - No More Parties in LA Ye 🏔 - Ghost Town Jesus is King 🔵 - Follow God Donda ⬛️ - Come to Life or Hurricane
TCD: Jesus Walks LR: Touch the Sky Graduation: Flashing Lights 808s: Heartless MBDTF: Devil in a New Dress Yeezus: Blood on the Leaves TLOP: Saint Pablo Ye: Ghost Town JIK: Follow God Donda: Come to Life

All falls down Touch the Sky Flashing Lights Heartless Runaway/All of the Lights/Gorgeous Otis (personal bias, I love this music video) Holy My Liquor Ultralight Beam/No More Parties in LA Ghost Town 4th Dimension/Feel the Love We don’t talk about Jesus is King lmao Hurricane/Off the Grid/Jail/Come to Life are all too good to pick from
My picks for the best Kanye songs from each album: 🐻 : Family Business 📚 : Diamonds from 🇸🇱 👨🎓 : I Wonder 💔 : Love Lockdown 🟥: DIAND ⚜️ : Paris 💿 : Hold My Liquor 🧡: NMPILA 🏔 : Ghost Town ⬛️: Off the Grid ⬛️2️⃣: True Love (still not final vers) DIAND my pick for best overall
- Last Call - Touch The Sky - Flashing Lights - Paranoid - Devil In A New Dress - New Day - Hold My Liquor - Real Friends - No Mistakes - Reborn - On God - 24 - Too Easy Non album favorite : White Dress
If you ask me tomorrow my picks will probably be totally different but whatever As of today, for me it's probably: -All Falls Down -Drive Slow(especially with the additional TI verse that's not on streaming services) -Flashing Lights -Heartless -Runaway -New Slaves -Saint Pablo -Ghost Town i think -Use This Gospel -probably Lord I Need You -from what we have from Donda 2 so far it has to be Lift Me Up. I know it doesn't even have Kanye vocals, it's a sort of an interlude but it's just too good
Honestly not mad at Runaway, I think Stonger should of been on there that song is aging like a fine wine and it was a massive hit. Also Bound 2, Coldest Winter, Street lights, Slow Jamz so many Classics lol
TCD: All Falls Down (or maybe Family Business) LR: Touch The Sky Graduation: Everything I Am 808s: Welcome to Heartbreak MBDTF: Gorgeous Yeezus: Bound 2 TLOP: Real Friends Ye: Wouldn't Leave JIK: On God Donda: Lord I Need You + WtT: Why I Love You KSG: Reborn

808s - amazing CD - slow jamz Donda - praise God Graduation - good morning Mbdtf - runaway Late registration - heard em say Jik - follow god Tlop- 30 hours Ye - yikes Donda 2 - haven't heard it Yeezus - I'm in it Favourite song - runaway
Not necessarily the best but my favorite tracks from each album TCD: Last Call LR: Crack Music Grad: Flashing Lights 808s: Bad News MBDTF: Devil in a New Dress WTT: Otis Yeezus: Send It Up (idk why but I love it) Pablo: Waves or 30 hours Ye: Ghost Town KSG: Cudi Montage JIK: God Is Donda: Believe What I Say
TCD: All Falls Down LR: Touch The Sky Graduation: I Wonder 808s: RoboCop MBDTF: Runaway GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME BTW Yeezus: Bound 2 TLOP: No More Parties In LA ye: Ghost Town KSG: 4th Dimension JIK: Follow God Donda: Pure Souls Donda 2: Pablo
808’s- Love Lockdown CD- All Falls Down Donda- Hurricane Graduation- Good Morning MBDTF- Devil in a new dress LR- Touch the Sky JIK- Follow god TLOP- Waves Ye- Ghost Town D2- Too Easy Yeezus- Bound 2 (Kids see ghost - Feel the love Yandhi - Chakras/we got love)
Runaway is my favourite song of all time. I don’t ever… and I mean EVER cry, but it’s the only song I have ever teared up to. The part that gets me most is near the end of the song after Kanye says “runaway as fast as you can” and the instrumental plays. Great video, and I’m not just saying that because runaway is my favourite song 😂😅
808’s - streetlights College dropout - family business Donda - life of the party Graduation - flashing lights Mbdtf - runaway Late registration - heard em say Jesus is king - follow god Tlop - saint pablo Ye - ghost town Donda 2 - security Yeezus - bound 2
TCD: All Falls Down LR: Roses Grad - I Wonder 808s - Welcome to heartbreak MBDTF - Power WTT - New Day Yeezus - Blood on the leaves TLOP - Waves Ye - Ghost Town KSG - Reborn JIK - Closed On Sunday (MV version) Donda - Come To Life
Here's my list then: TCD: Jesus Walks (OR) All falls down LR: Touch the sky Graduation: Flashing lights 808s: Paranoid MBDTF: Runaway (OR) Dark fantasy Yeezus: Blood on the leaves (OR) New slaves TLOP: No more parties in LA Ye: Ghost town KSG: 4th dimension JIK: Follow God Donda: Off the grid (OR) Heaven and Hell Donda 2: Too easy (OR) True love Watch the throne: OTIS
For me it would probably go like this: 808’s- Street Lights CD- Two Words Donda- Moon Donda (Deluxe) - Life of the party Graduation- I Wonder MBDTF- So Appalled LR- Diamonds from Sierra Leone JIK- Hands On TLOP- Saint Pablo Ye- Ghost Town Yeezus- Hold My Liquor
TCD: Family Business LC: Drive Slow Graduation: Flashing Lights 808s: Street Lights MBDTF: Runaway Yeezus: Hold My Liquor TLOP: Saint Pablo JIK: SELAH Donda: Come To Life
love how Kanye is one of the artists who people can have such different takes on his discography. my favourite track from each of his albums (excluding KSG, WTT, and Donda 2) ranked: 1. Blood On The Leaves 2. No More Parties in LA 3. Spaceship 4. Addiction 5. Monster 6. Coldest Winter 7. Come to Life 8. Flashing Lights 9. Violent Crimes 10. Use This Gospel
CD - All Falls Down LR - We Major Graduation - Flashing Lights 808s - Say You Will MBDTF - Devil in a New Dress Yeezus - Bound 2 TLOP - No More Parties in LA Ye - Ghost Town JIK - Follow God Donda - Come to Life
It is very hard to pick just one song from of each album. It all comes down to feelings connected to the song. I think one song that many forget on TLOP is Waves. Waves hits so different on a summer day. For me the song is just great great vibes. Chris Brown singing makes me feel like I’m levitating.
hey jon i've known you since rock reacts and i've been watching your videos regularly ever since i gotta tell you that i always thought we share the same taste in music, that's what probably makes me enjoying watching your videos i have a pretty similar list to yours, for me it goes this way: love lockdown, spaceship, come to life, i wonder, runaway, diamonds from sierra leone, closed on sunday, saint pablo, ghost town, true love and guilt trip (and runaway is also the winner for me, with my college dropout pick being a close second) remember the abel song tier list you did two years ago? i think that's pretty outdated, i'd love to see a video like this one for the weeknds' discography keep up the great work!
Slow Jamz deserves a mention. It may not be his best song, but it's by far my favourite. That Luther Vandross 'A House Is Not a Home' sample and Jamie Foxx on the hook was monumental.
The College Dropout : Jesus Walks Late Registration : Touch The Sky Graduation : Flashing Lights 808’s : Heartless MBDTF : Power Yeezus : Blood On The Leaves TLOP : Real Friends Ye : Ghost Town JIK : Use this Gospel Donda : Come to Life (I decided to list collabs as well) KSG : Cudi Montage WTT : No church in the wild Best song overall : Power
Here would be my personal picks: The College Dropout - Family Business Late Registration - We Major Graduation - The Glory 808s and Heartbreak - Street Lights My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Runaway Yeezus - Hold My Liquor The Life of Pablo - Saint Pablo Ye - Violent Crimes Jesus Is King - Every Hour Donda - No Child Left Behind Donda 2 - Get Lost
- Through The Wire - Hey Mama - Can't Tell Me Nothing - Heartless - Devil In A New Dress - New Slaves - Famous - All Mine - Use This Gospel (I guess? JIK is bad) - No Child Left Behind Favorite overall? Probably, Through The Wire.
My favourites from each album: 808s - Coldest Winter Collage Dropout- Through the Wire Donda- Off the Grid Grad- Stronger MBDTF- Devil In A New Dress LR- Hey Mama JisK- Use This Gospel TLOP- No More Parties In LA Ye- Ghost Town Yeezus- New Slaves
TCD: Spaceship LR: Diamonds from sierra leonne rmx Graduation: Flashing lights 808s: Street lights MBDTF: Devil in a new dress Yeezus: Bound 2 Tlop: Ultralight Beam Ye: Ghost town JIK: follow god Donda: come to life Favorite Kanye song all time: ghost town
College dropout: family business Late Registration: Hey Mama Graduation: everything I am 808s: Street Lights MBDTF: Lost in the world Yeezus: Blood on the leaves TLOP: ultralight beam Ye: Ghost Town JIK: Use this gospel Donda: Come to Life Donda 2(so far): Selfish or Flowers (can’t pick) Overall best: ghost town It was between Come to Life, LITW, or this. I think Ghost Town is as close to musical perfection as you can get imo.
CD - Through the wire LR - My Way Home Graduation - Flashing Lights 808s - Say You Will MBDTW - All of the Lights Yeezus - Bound 2 TLOP - FML ye - Yikes JIK - Water Donda - No Child Left Behind Donda 2 - Too Easy
Done my own list and it was tough! Ended with the following: College Dropout - Jesus Walks Late Registration - Drive Slow Graduation - Can’t Tell Me Nothing 808’s & Heartbreaks - Love Lockdown MBDTF - Runaway Yeezus - Hold My Liquor TLOP - 30 Hours Ye - Ghost Town Jesus is King - Use This Gospel Donda - I couldn’t even finish the album so no selection Donda 2 - never listened so no selection Bonus entry: Kids See Ghosts - 4th Dimension My winner boiled down to 2 songs - Jesus Walks and Runaway. Both iconic tracks and you only need to hear the first note from each to know what song you’re listening to. In the end I went for Jesus Walks based on the energy and intensity of the song - it never fails to get me hyped! Incredible artist with an incredible back catalogue and if I was stranded on a desert island with only one artists’ back catalogue to listen to, it’d be Kanye. Volume, variety and quality throughout!
Ranking from his first to his last album (only solo albums) 1. Last Call 2. Diamonds from Sierra Leone 3. Flashing Lights 4. Welcome to Heartbreak 5. Lost in the World 6. Blood on the Leaves 7. Saint Pablo 8. Violent Crimes 9. Use This Gospel 10. Heaven and Hell
Very difficult, but here's mine: TCD: Family Business LR: Addiction Graduation: Flashing Lights 808s: RoboCop MBDTF: POWER WTT: The Joy Yeezus: Guilt Trip TLOP: Real Friends Ye: Ghost Town KSG: Cudi Montage JIK: Follow God Donda: Believe What I Say
I'm going to go along with you: 808s- Say You Will (BASED JON) TCD- Jesus Walks (how did you not even mention this) Donda- Come To Life Grad- Can't Tell Me Nothing MBDTF- Runaway LR- Hey Mama (I'm not even a huge fan of the song and it makes me sad, but it's gotta be his most universal song) JIK- Uhhh the complete LA Monster leak haha TLOP- No More Parties in LA (I had it as Saint Pablo but I feel no more parties in la does a better job at sticking to the theme of a wild LA cityscape than saint pablo does to being a legitimately deep and thoughtful) Ye- Ghost Town Donda 2- Too Easy Yeezus- Hold My Liqour BEST- HOld My fuccccin Liquor baby (the progression is just unmatched in any other kanye song other than maybe gone or I'm in it off the top of my head)
Here is my List: College Dropout: Jesus Walks Late Registration: Diamonds From Sierra Leona Graduation: Flashing Lights 808s: Street Lights MBDTF: Runaway Yeezus: Hold my Liquor TLOP: Father Stretch my Hands Ye: Ghost Town Jesus is King: Follow God Donda: Come to Life Runaway the best song of Kanye
TCD: All Falls Down LR: Diamond from sierra Leon Grad: I wonder 808’s: Paranoid MBDTF: Power Yeezus: Hold my liquor TLOP: No More Parties in LA Ye: Ghost Town JIK: On God Donda: Believe what I Say
My list College dropout: All falls down Late registration : Drive slow Graduation : I wonder 808s: Heartless MBDTF: Power Yeezus: Hold my liquor or Bound 2 TLOP: Saint Pablo Ye: Ghost town Jesus is king : follow god or On god Donda: Come to life
I also agree it's safe to end with Runaway, but I think you glossed over Power off MBDTF. That's the track that was rumored to have about 5,000 man hours total spent on it, so it's more or less the music equivalent of a sculptor making a masterpiece, except in this case, it's multiple producers and engineers honing in on one song. Everything from the choirs that everyone immediately is able to sing along to, to the hard drums, to the hard rocking distorted guitars, to the synthesizer solo, etc. It's definitely up there for me as one of the best produced songs of all time.
TCD: All Falls Down LR: Touch The Sky Graduation: Stronger 808’s: See You In My Nightmares MBDTF: Devil In A New Dress WTT: Otis Yeezus: Black Skinhead TLOP: No More Parties In LA ye: Violent Crimes KSG: Reborn JIK: Selah Donda: Jesus Lord Single: I Love It Favorite: Violent Crimes
This is nigh-on impossible... Ye's discog is so deep and he has so many amazing songs on every album (except JiK). If I were to pick, I would go College Dropout: Jesus Walks (Honorable mentions: the whole album) Late Registration: DSL remix (Touch the Sky is close) Graduation: Homecoming (would be Stronger if it wasnt massively overplayed and thus somewhat ruined for me. I wonder is amazing but I dont love Ye's flow and delivery on that song anywhere near as much as I love the instrumental and sample) 808's: Welcome to Heartbreak (Heartless is damn close) MBDTF: Runaway (goat album but nothing off of it beats Runaway or comes close) WTT: No Church in the Wild (doing his collab albums, and that Paris song is decent too) Yeezus: Bound 2 (Black Skinhead is top 10 Kanye beat easily) Pablo: No More Parties in LA (hard pick, this is a top 3 Ye album imo) Ye: Ghostown (Yikes is fire tho) KSG: Reborn (10/10 album) JiK: Follow God (a song on a gospel album shouldnt go this hard) Donda: Come to Life (no competition imo, but Donda is still packed with bangers, it has 6 or 7 top tier Kanye songs) Best Kanye Song Ever: This is so tough, but for me personally its No More Parties in LA. My fav rapper and my fav artist collabing... and its hard af. Ye really did outrap Kendrick tho. Runaway is top 2 and if it wasnt everyone elses #1, it probably wpuld be my #1 too, but I picked No More Parties to be different
- All Falls Down - Diamonds from Sierra Leone - Flashing Lights - Heartless - Runaway - New Slaves - No More Parties In LA - Ghost Town - Follow God - Remote Control - Too Easy
Paranoid from 808's Spaceship from College Dropout Roses from Late Registration I Wonder from Graduation Devil in a New Dress from MBDTF Blood on the Leaves from Yeezus Ultralight Beam from Pablo And Whatever song Travis and Baby Keem are on, on Donda. Didn't listen to the other recent albums. Edit: Cudi Montage from Kids See Ghosts
Seems like everyone is doing it, so I might aswell TCD: Jesus walks Late registration: Roses Graduation: Flashing lights 808s: Streets lights MBDTF: Runaway Watch the throne: why I love you Yeezus: hold my liquor TLOP: Waves Ye: i thought about killing you KSG: cudi montage JIK: use this gospel Donda: Come to life
I honestly agree with the outcome. Runaway is timeless. I don't listen to it often but it will always hold a special place in my heart. I mean that first key? literally gives me goosebumps.
I did the same a month ago. Although I think I will pick some songs different now, here is my list I picked at that moment: College Dropout - Two Words Late Registration - Diamonds Graduation - Can't Tell Me Nothing 808 - Say You Will MBTDF - Devil In A New Dress Yeezus - Blood On The Leaves TLOP - Famous Ye - Ghost Town JIK - Follow God Donda -24
Favourite song on every Kanye album: 🐻: Spaceship 📚: Bring Me Down 🎓: I Wonder 💔: Street Lights 👑: Runaway 💿: Hold My Liquor 🍑: Saint Pablo ⛰: Ghost Town 🔵: Use This Gospel ◼️: Moon
The College Dropout : Through The Wire Late Registration : Hey Mama Graduation : Bittersweet Poetry 808s & Heartbreak : Coldest Winter MBDTF : Runaway Watch The Throne : Otis Yeezus : New Slaves The Life of Pablo : Saint Pablo Ye : Ghost Town KIds See Ghosts : Reborn Jesus Is King : On God Donda : Life of The Party Donda 2 : IDK Yet My Favorite Ye Song : Saint Pablo
i love all the songs you chose. i love kanye. he helped me mentally growing up moving from city to city every year. i love we’re all here in embrace of his God gifted talent. i just hope he gets well. idc bout the songs, i want him to get well.
The College Dropout- Family Business Donda - Come To Life Graduation - Can't Tell Me Nothing MBDTF - Runaway 808’s - Heartless Late Registration - Diamonds from Sierra Leone - Remix JIK - Follow God TLOP - Famous Ye - Ghost Town Yeezus - Bound 2 Donda 2 - Too Easy

7:50 i had a moment like that when Soft Room by Lorn plays in Sleeping Dogs II, best moments when music and the video game connect - or the end of RDR2 for example
For me, Runaway is the most self aware, brilliant, lushly beautiful, heartbreaking, relatable, sardonic and the most BRUTALLY, honestly, self reflective song of Ye’s career thus far. And MBDTF his best album to date. A true artistic masterpiece, in every sense of the word. If only he was still this self aware today. But it’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever see or hear that Kanye West again. 😢
CD: JESUS WALKS LR: ROSES GRAD: FLASHING LIGHTS 808s: BAD NEWS MBDTF: SO APPALLED YEEZUS: GUILT TRIP TLOP: NO MORE PARTIES IN LA YE: VIOLENT CRIMES JIK: HANDS ON DONDA: COME TO LIFE honorable mention: two words, hey mama, cant tell me nothing/big brother, love lockdown, devil in a new dress, blood on the leaves, fsmh/saint pablo, ghost town, follow god, pure souls
Man this video and the comments is proof Heard'em say is entirely slept on. As for Runaway winning I can't disagree with it winning, even if personally homecoming is probably my favourite song Runaway exhibits this weird feeling of peace when you hear those first few keys
My personal list: TCD: Through the Wire Late Registration: We Major Graduation: Flashing Lights 808s and Heartbreaks: Heartless MBDTF: All Of The Lights Yeezus: New Slaves / On Sight TLOP: Famous (Wolves a close second) ye: Yikes JESUS IS KING: Follow God Donda: Come to Life Donda 2: True Love FAVORITE: New Slaves
TCD: Through the Wire LR: Heard em say (most underrated Ye song) Graduation: I wonder 808s: Heartless MBDTF: Dark Fantasy WTT: No church in the wild Yeezus: Black Skinhead TLOP: No more parties Ye: Ghost Town KSG: Freeeeee JIK: Follow God DONDA: believe what I say Not listeners to DONDA 2 yet. Funny thing is those choices could change on every listen
my personal favorite is All of the Lights simply because of all the little cameo features he's able to fit and make work so well. Also, it's on the soundtrack to my favorite video game ever, NBA2k14, so it holds a special place in my heart. Ever since Yeezus has started to grown on me, however, I think Bound 2, for both the creativity it takes to make a song like that and for it's conceptual importance on the album itself, is his greatest song ever. It's important to note the difference between a personal favorite and the objectively greatest IMO
Mine The College Dropout - Last Call Late Registration - Hey Mama Graduation - Everything I Am 808s & Heartbreak - Say You Will (but if I can choose the alternative arrangement of "Coldest Winter", I'll choose that) My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Runaway Yeezus - Black Skinhead The Life of Pablo - Saint Pablo Ye - Ghost Town Jesus is King - God Is Donda - Come to Life
TCD: We Don’t Care Late Registration: Roses Graduation: I Wonder 808s & Heartbreak: Bad News MBDTF: Lost In the World Yeezus: Guilt Trip The Life of Pablo: Waves ye: No Mistakes JIK: On God Donda: Believe What I Say
The Collage Dropout- Never Let me down Late Registration- Roses Graduation- Flashing lights 808’s- Say you will MBDTF- Lost in the world (It's impossible to choose) Watch the Throne - New Day Yeezus- Hold My Liquor (my favorite of all the albums) TLOP- Freestyle 4 (I swear I don't want to show up, I really like this song so much) Ye- Violent Crimes Kid See Ghosts - Feel The Love JIK- Close on Sunday Donda- Heaven and hell Donda 2- True Love VULTURES 1 - Fuk Sumn
808's and Heartbreaks I would say my favorite is amazing tbh. The college dropout is all falls down. My favorite from donda is come to life as well (glad that had the same effect on you as me). My favorite from Graduation is good life cause the vibes are immaculate. Best on MBDTF is definetly runaway and that is my least debatable one tbh. Late registration is Gold digger for me because it literally never gets old. Follow god is an easy choice for Jesus is King(reverse what I said earlier about least debatable one). Famous for Life of Pablo because I WILL NEVER get tired of that production. Ye is probably an unpopular opinion but I love I thought about killing you. Haven't heard donda 2 a bunch but I love security tbh. And yeezus is pretty easy for me: Bound 2 no question. My greatest Kanye song ever is runaway.

I think the reason Kanye is so hard to rank is because he has so many songs off each album that hit different depending on your mood.
yea they're all so different. not able to be compared
The work put into this video is so sick, all respect to everyone that made it so entertaining. Jon’s commentary and humor, the editing, and that intro made a simple concept seem more interesting.
^ this was so entertaining, you should do this style of video for other artists too. Love the blend of reactions and commentary you’re creating Jon!
@@dionb7584 wait who?
@@dionb7584 who asked?
30 hrs is such an underrated track from tlop
My second favourite behind Saint Pablo
I really don’t like it for whatever reason
the life of pierre had a song called 30 hrs???
saint pablo is
And I’m okay with that.
Diamonds from Sierra Leone is easily one of his best and most underated song. Beautiful lyrics
I love the original verses
The original is better than the remix
@@nathane9406 “i’m not a businessman, i’m a BUSINESS MAAAN”
@@nathane9406 Bro I swear you’re the only one that agrees with me about that. The Jay Z is really good on the remix but Kanye’s verse on the original is insane.
It’s the original for me
Runaway is Kayne’s Stairway to Heaven. Not the song you’ll play all the time, but so unique that it’s hard not to pick for this kind of conversation.
“Runaway” is an 8-bar melody repeated for almost ten minutes. I don’t think it makes much sense to compare it to a more progressively-structured song like that.
runaway is who’s stairway to heaven????
To me personally I think choosing a single song doesn't do him justice, so many songs at different moments and time in life touches u that it makes it impossible to choose just one.
Your list was a lot closer to mine than I expected lol, for me it would be:
808’s- Street Lights
CD- All Falls Down
Donda- Come To Life
Graduation- I Wonder
MBDTF- Runaway
LR- Roses
JIK- God Is
TLOP- Saint Pablo
Ye- Ghost Town
D2- Too Easy
Yeezus- Black Skinhead
Great list! Mine swaps Runaway for DIAND, Saint Pablo for Waves, and Black Skinhead for my favorite Ye song ever, Blood on the Leaves
Solid ass list, as good as black skinhead is I feel like new slaves, hold my liquor or blood on the leaves are all top 10 Ye songs and gotta be above it
Too Easy??? Ew.
@@sammcmeekin8897 Honestly I agree lol, but going off personal bias Black Skinhead has been my hype song for so many moments in my life, too many memories associated with it so it’s one of my fav Ye songs
@@spiderjeff5845 yea man that song is just too hype Yeezus has too many 10’s that’s why I never pick my fav Ye songs it’s just too damn hard for me
Fav song on every Ye album:
🐻: All Falls Down
📚: Roses
🎓: I Wonder
💔: Heartless
👑: Devil in a New Dress
💿: Hold my Liquor
🍑: Ultralight Beam
⛰: ITAKY
🔵: Use This Gospel
◼: Come to Life
Good emoji choices.
Kanye is my favorite artist of all time and no discography comes even close to his so to pick a fav is nearly impossible but I think I will go with I Wonder and Come to Life
TCD: All Falls Down
LR: Touch The Sky
Grad: I Wonder
808s: Street Lights
MBDTF: Gorgeous
Yeezus: Blood On the Leaves
TLOP: Saint Pablo
Ye: Ghost Town
Jik: God is
Donda: Come to Life
@Yo Mama thank u bro!
barely any disagreements with this, could see fair arguments being made for all of these choices
@@fembzen thank u bro
Valid, would go use this gospel over god is but nearly agree on everything else
@@KaosOwners fair man
If you go through these comments you’ll see lists and everyone has something different. Proof that Kanye is the GOAT
I really appreciate what Jon is doing here. It's not about choosing the best song but doing that makes us realise how great the discography of kanye is and we are honouring his art by revisiting these albums in a different way again and again.
CD - Through the Wire
LR - Gold Digger
Grad - I Wonder
808s - Heartless
MBDTF - Runaway
Yeezus - Bound 2
TLOP - Saint Pablo
Ye - Ghost Town

"Power" is so underrated, I think is the best on mbdtf
I just went through his whole discography, I dont know what his best track is but some of my favourites are Jesus Walks, Love Lockdown and All Mine and Touch The Sky also Heartless is a classic.
Runaway is not only his best song but also the best song of all times in my opinion
No way you went through everything and picked those as his BEST, your opinion ig🤷♂️
@@perplexed1783 i know its ur opinion and that is fine but ur so wrong. Goat song? Wtf
@@CelliumsBurner wdym? runaway is THE song from mbdtf which is widely known as kanye west's magnus opus

- New Day

If you ask me tomorrow my picks will probably be totally different but whatever

-Flashing Lights
-Heartless
-Runaway
-New Slaves
-Saint Pablo
-Ghost Town i think
-Use This Gospel
-probably Lord I Need You
-from what we have from Donda 2 so far it has to be Lift Me Up. I know it doesn't even have Kanye vocals, it's a sort of an interlude but it's just too good
Thank god someone else thinks use this gospel is the best song off JIK, not even close for me
Honestly not mad at Runaway, I think Stonger should of been on there that song is aging like a fine wine and it was a massive hit. Also Bound 2, Coldest Winter, Street lights, Slow Jamz so many Classics lol
Stronger is a diamond song and he didn’t choose at 😂😂😂😂

Runaway is my favourite song of all time. I don’t ever… and I mean EVER cry, but it’s the only song I have ever teared up to. The part that gets me most is near the end of the song after Kanye says “runaway as fast as you can” and the instrumental plays. Great video, and I’m not just saying that because runaway is my favourite song 😂😅
808’s - streetlights
College dropout - family business
Donda - life of the party

love how Kanye is one of the artists who people can have such different takes on his discography.
my favourite track from each of his albums (excluding KSG, WTT, and Donda 2) ranked:
1. Blood On The Leaves
2. No More Parties in LA
3. Spaceship
4. Addiction
5. Monster
6. Coldest Winter
7. Come to Life
8. Flashing Lights
9. Violent Crimes
10. Use This Gospel
the production value is insane
CD - All Falls Down
LR - We Major
Graduation - Flashing Lights

MBDTF - Devil in a New Dress
Yeezus - Bound 2
TLOP - No More Parties in LA
Ye - Ghost Town
JIK - Follow God
Donda - Come to Life
It is very hard to pick just one song from of each album. It all comes down to feelings connected to the song. I think one song that many forget on TLOP is Waves. Waves hits so different on a summer day. For me the song is just great great vibes. Chris Brown singing makes me feel like I’m levitating.
hey jon i've known you since rock reacts and i've been watching your videos regularly ever since
i gotta tell you that i always thought we share the same taste in music, that's what probably makes me enjoying watching your videos
i have a pretty similar list to yours, for me it goes this way: love lockdown, spaceship, come to life, i wonder, runaway, diamonds from sierra leone, closed on sunday, saint pablo, ghost town, true love and guilt trip (and runaway is also the winner for me, with my college dropout pick being a close second)
remember the abel song tier list you did two years ago? i think that's pretty outdated, i'd love to see a video like this one for the weeknds' discography
keep up the great work!
Slow Jamz deserves a mention. It may not be his best song, but it's by far my favourite. That Luther Vandross 'A House Is Not a Home' sample and Jamie Foxx on the hook was monumental.
Seeing as how it's March, would love to see you fill out and and go over your picks on the 'Kanye Madness' bracket that went viral a few years back!

Graduation : Flashing Lights
808’s : Heartless

It was between Come to Life, LITW, or this. I think Ghost Town is as close to musical perfection as you can get imo.

808s - Say You Will
MBDTW - All of the Lights
Yeezus - Bound 2
TLOP - FML

Done my own list and it was tough! Ended with the following:
College Dropout - Jesus Walks
Late Registration - Drive Slow
Graduation - Can’t Tell Me Nothing
808’s & Heartbreaks - Love Lockdown
MBDTF - Runaway
Yeezus - Hold My Liquor
TLOP - 30 Hours
Ye - Ghost Town
Jesus is King - Use This Gospel
Donda - I couldn’t even finish the album so no selection
Donda 2 - never listened so no selection
Bonus entry:
Kids See Ghosts - 4th Dimension
My winner boiled down to 2 songs - Jesus Walks and Runaway. Both iconic tracks and you only need to hear the first note from each to know what song you’re listening to. In the end I went for Jesus Walks based on the energy and intensity of the song - it never fails to get me hyped!
Incredible artist with an incredible back catalogue and if I was stranded on a desert island with only one artists’ back catalogue to listen to, it’d be Kanye. Volume, variety and quality throughout!
Bro I'm so happy your fav is Say You Will. It leaves me speechless that one, check out the Caroline Shaw version, even crazier.
Production on this vid looks great Jon very cool to see how far the channel has grown
the transitions and graphics for your selection looks insane!!!
Ranking from his first to his last album (only solo albums)
1. Last Call
2. Diamonds from Sierra Leone
3. Flashing Lights
4. Welcome to Heartbreak
5. Lost in the World
6. Blood on the Leaves
7. Saint Pablo
8. Violent Crimes
9. Use This Gospel
10. Heaven and Hell
Last Call for alcohol
Very difficult, but here's mine:
TCD: Family Business
LR: Addiction
Graduation: Flashing Lights
808s: RoboCop
MBDTF: POWER
WTT: The Joy
Yeezus: Guilt Trip
TLOP: Real Friends
Ye: Ghost Town
KSG: Cudi Montage
JIK: Follow God
Donda: Believe What I Say
I'm going to go along with you:
808s- Say You Will (BASED JON)
TCD- Jesus Walks (how did you not even mention this)
Donda- Come To Life
Grad- Can't Tell Me Nothing
MBDTF- Runaway
LR- Hey Mama (I'm not even a huge fan of the song and it makes me sad, but it's gotta be his most universal song)
JIK- Uhhh the complete LA Monster leak haha
TLOP- No More Parties in LA (I had it as Saint Pablo but I feel no more parties in la does a better job at sticking to the theme of a wild LA cityscape than saint pablo does to being a legitimately deep and thoughtful)
Ye- Ghost Town
Donda 2- Too Easy
Yeezus- Hold My Liqour
BEST- HOld My fuccccin Liquor baby (the progression is just unmatched in any other kanye song other than maybe gone or I'm in it off the top of my head)
Here is my List:
College Dropout: Jesus Walks
Late Registration: Diamonds From Sierra Leona
Graduation: Flashing Lights
808s: Street Lights
MBDTF: Runaway
Yeezus: Hold my Liquor
TLOP: Father Stretch my Hands
Ye: Ghost Town
Jesus is King: Follow God
Donda: Come to Life
Runaway the best song of Kanye
TCD: All Falls Down
LR: Diamond from sierra Leon
Grad: I wonder
808’s: Paranoid
MBDTF: Power
Yeezus: Hold my liquor
TLOP: No More Parties in LA
Ye: Ghost Town
JIK: On God
Donda: Believe what I Say
My list
College dropout: All falls down
Late registration : Drive slow
Graduation : I wonder
808s: Heartless
MBDTF: Power
Yeezus: Hold my liquor or Bound 2
TLOP: Saint Pablo
Ye: Ghost town
Jesus is king : follow god or On god
Donda: Come to life
I also agree it's safe to end with Runaway, but I think you glossed over Power off MBDTF. That's the track that was rumored to have about 5,000 man hours total spent on it, so it's more or less the music equivalent of a sculptor making a masterpiece, except in this case, it's multiple producers and engineers honing in on one song. Everything from the choirs that everyone immediately is able to sing along to, to the hard drums, to the hard rocking distorted guitars, to the synthesizer solo, etc. It's definitely up there for me as one of the best produced songs of all time.
TCD: All Falls Down
LR: Touch The Sky
Graduation: Stronger
808’s: See You In My Nightmares
MBDTF: Devil In A New Dress
WTT: Otis
Yeezus: Black Skinhead
TLOP: No More Parties In LA
ye: Violent Crimes
KSG: Reborn
JIK: Selah
Donda: Jesus Lord
Single: I Love It
Favorite: Violent Crimes
This is nigh-on impossible... Ye's discog is so deep and he has so many amazing songs on every album (except JiK). If I were to pick, I would go
College Dropout: Jesus Walks (Honorable mentions: the whole album)
Late Registration: DSL remix (Touch the Sky is close)
Graduation: Homecoming (would be Stronger if it wasnt massively overplayed and thus somewhat ruined for me. I wonder is amazing but I dont love Ye's flow and delivery on that song anywhere near as much as I love the instrumental and sample)
808's: Welcome to Heartbreak (Heartless is damn close)
MBDTF: Runaway (goat album but nothing off of it beats Runaway or comes close)
WTT: No Church in the Wild (doing his collab albums, and that Paris song is decent too)
Yeezus: Bound 2 (Black Skinhead is top 10 Kanye beat easily)
Pablo: No More Parties in LA (hard pick, this is a top 3 Ye album imo)
Ye: Ghostown (Yikes is fire tho)
KSG: Reborn (10/10 album)
JiK: Follow God (a song on a gospel album shouldnt go this hard)
Donda: Come to Life (no competition imo, but Donda is still packed with bangers, it has 6 or 7 top tier Kanye songs)
Best Kanye Song Ever: This is so tough, but for me personally its No More Parties in LA. My fav rapper and my fav artist collabing... and its hard af. Ye really did outrap Kendrick tho. Runaway is top 2 and if it wasnt everyone elses #1, it probably wpuld be my #1 too, but I picked No More Parties to be different
Based list
- All Falls Down
- Diamonds from Sierra Leone
- Flashing Lights
- Heartless
- Runaway
- New Slaves
- No More Parties In LA
- Ghost Town
- Follow God
- Remote Control

I honestly agree with the outcome. Runaway is timeless. I don't listen to it often but it will always hold a special place in my heart. I mean that first key? literally gives me goosebumps.
I did the same a month ago. Although I think I will pick some songs different now, here is my list I picked at that moment:

Late Registration - Diamonds
Graduation - Can't Tell Me Nothing
808 - Say You Will
MBTDF - Devil In A New Dress

7:50 i had a moment like that when Soft Room by Lorn plays in Sleeping Dogs II, best moments when music and the video game connect - or the end of RDR2 for example
For me, Runaway is the most self aware, brilliant, lushly beautiful, heartbreaking, relatable, sardonic and the most BRUTALLY, honestly, self reflective song of Ye’s career thus far. And MBDTF his best album to date. A true artistic masterpiece, in every sense of the word. If only he was still this self aware today. But it’s highly unlikely that we’ll ever see or hear that Kanye West again. 😢

forgot about through the wire and say you will: also honorable mentions
Man this video and the comments is proof Heard'em say is entirely slept on. As for Runaway winning I can't disagree with it winning, even if personally homecoming is probably my favourite song Runaway exhibits this weird feeling of peace when you hear those first few keys

Not listeners to DONDA 2 yet. Funny thing is those choices could change on every listen
I Wonder. Kanye’s 2nd best song ever from a top 5 rap album.
Bad News from 808s is criminally underrated imo
my personal favorite is All of the Lights simply because of all the little cameo features he's able to fit and make work so well. Also, it's on the soundtrack to my favorite video game ever, NBA2k14, so it holds a special place in my heart. Ever since Yeezus has started to grown on me, however, I think Bound 2, for both the creativity it takes to make a song like that and for it's conceptual importance on the album itself, is his greatest song ever.
It's important to note the difference between a personal favorite and the objectively greatest IMO

808's and Heartbreaks I would say my favorite is amazing tbh. The college dropout is all falls down. My favorite from donda is come to life as well (glad that had the same effect on you as me). My favorite from Graduation is good life cause the vibes are immaculate. Best on MBDTF is definetly runaway and that is my least debatable one tbh. Late registration is Gold digger for me because it literally never gets old. Follow god is an easy choice for Jesus is King(reverse what I said earlier about least debatable one). Famous for Life of Pablo because I WILL NEVER get tired of that production. Ye is probably an unpopular opinion but I love I thought about killing you. Haven't heard donda 2 a bunch but I love security tbh. And yeezus is pretty easy for me: Bound 2 no question. My greatest Kanye song ever is runaway.
You're right about almost everything, but Bound 2 is awful, Yeezus is an exciting record though!
@@lalainamimi dude you could’ve spit anything on that sample and made it hard af tbh ngl
