@@tomvanoers2387 Like you said it's an amazingly produced song, it's so amazingly produced that he let's almost the whole song be the beat. Which is great but then he also comes in with these amazingly curated and written lyrics that could and probably has changed many lives

Thank you for the saint pablo love. It is in my opinion one of his best sounding and most deep/meaningful songs in his whole discography. Sampha adds a whole other layer of depth and beauty to this song that makes it a musical masterpiece. I appreciate hearing someone else talk about it and give it the love it deserves, because it is one of his most underrated and least talked about songs.
Diamonds from Sierra Leone has to be there, and in quarter/semis. Also, first time commentator, long time watcher, you guys make amazing content man. Even outdoes the melon. You guys know your hiphop, love the takes. Salute
Do you know the story behind this gem of a tune? Check out Dr Randy Short on his influence upon Young Ye who graduated after dropping out when he was registration late. Look it up. You won't be mad at me. GOD BLESS YOU!
I would also pick “I Wonder” over “Come To Life” but the way you guys barely accounted for Come to Life is tough. That song is so beautiful and it deserves its flowers.
Fun Fact: Heartless and flashing lights are currently battling as the first and second most streamed Kanye songs when looking at daily averages. They have been trading that spot for the last couple of months. Edit: So I went and checked and FSMH is also in the mix as most streamed daily. That’s what I get for opening my mouth LOL
Top 10 kanye songs 10) never let me down 9) ghost town 8) Jesus walks 7) we major 6) no more parties in La 5) saint pablo 4) life of the party 3) runaway 2) two words 1) devil in a new dress God knows how life of the party and two words went undrafted, W for diand though
I think Through the Wire is one of raps greatest background stories. For that and the fact the song just embodies so perfectly everything Kanye is ALONG WITH CALLING HIS SUCCESS “I swear this right here is history in the making man” makes it the best song in his discography
@@driptalk3157 Bro, jesus walks has A cool beat an lyrics an Should’ve made it to top 16 at least. But I don’t think you’ve hear no more parties in la, cause the rapping performance from both ye an K dot are crazy. Talk to me when you’re heard Kanye’s music
Kanye has so many incredible songs, but I think my favorite Kanye song of all time is always gonna be “Through the Wire”. It was one of the first songs I heard by him, and to me it’s the quintessential example of who Kanye is as an artist.
When he said all of the lights has better production I laughed my ass off. No disrespect to aotl but hold my liquor is so much more layered and progressive, it’s a transcending song (plus aotl mix is a lil messy) Hold my liquor is honestly top 3 kanye productions.
They did my favorite Ye song of all time dirty on round one 😢 Touch the Sky is the ultimate victory lap. When the instrumental cuts out and he says "I think I died in that accident cause this must be heaven" I get chills! That line + the "it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song" line are like the perfect summary of what made his early career so special. And don't even get me started on the horns and the Lupe verse. Maaaaann

I am never going to understand why Come to Life continuously gets disrespected. There is nothing stopping it from being the best Kanye song period. One of the most beautiful awe inspiring pieces of music I’ve ever heard.
" *DEVIL* in a new dress" Vs. " *JESUS* walks" in a Kanye bracket is ironic, to say the least. 🤔 Also, "Diamonds From Sierra Leonne (Remix)" would've been like semi-finals for me, I love that song so much, even tho I love the message of "New Day", Diamonds is one of the best sample flips I ever hear from Kanye with "Blood on The Leaves" and "Devil In A New Dress."
My prediction before the video: 1. Runaway will win❌ was not expecting that 2. Ghost Town will make a run to the final four, knocking out Diand❌ lol what a horrible prediction 3. No Donda era song will make it out of the 2nd round✅ 4.

Kanye songs that are top tier and were SNUBBED from the list: -Two Words -Gone (top 5 imo) -champion -So Appalled (ppl say this song has a bad mix but I like it more than Monster) -Guilt Trip -I’m in it is so fing crazy -30 Hours -All Mine -Yikes goes super hard too -Fire -Hurricane (this is the only song I love off of Donda bc those who were really anticipating for yahdhi to drop knew this song and that it was gonna be a banger
I’m so happy Every Thing I Am got that far, it never make it that far. It also has the best ending lines of any Ye verse with the “please no more today”
@@ConnorDudley585cus of how much they overhate power, its easily top 10 kanye songs, power is miles clear of spaceship, yet it gets eliminated by it😭🙏
My opinions: DISCLAIMER: I've never heard Mercy or All Day, the two unreleased songs on here, but I've heard every other song. I've listened to every released song on average probably 10 times. However, I haven't listened to Watch the Throne or Donda as much. Round 1 left side: Off The Grid > Monster, Bound 2 > Saint Pablo, Slow Jamz > N***as in Paris, We Major > Spaceship, Violent Crimes > No Mistakes, Ultralight Beam > Good Morning, Hey Mama > Everything I Am, Touch the Sky > No More Parties in LA, Black Skinhead > Otis, Welcome To Heartbreak > Cudi Montage Round 2: Ghost Town > Father Stretch My Hands, Monster > Saint Pablo, New Slaves > Spaceship, NMPILA > Jesus Walks, Hold My Liquor > All Of The Lights, Family Business > 4th Dimension Round 3: I Wonder > Jesus Walks, All of the Lights > Otis, Family Business > All Falls Down, Round 4: All Good Round 5: Runaway > Jesus Walks Finals: Devil In a New Dress > Jesus Walks Final Stats/Words: Out of 63 matchups, I agreed with 43, and disagreed with 20. I think Jesus Walks is overrated. I also think Jesus Walks, given a random bracket, shouldn't make it past the second round. I don't dislike the song, but we're comparing it to all of his other songs here. My top 8-16: Through the Wire, Roses, Devil In a New Dress, Runaway, Hold My Liquor, Ultralight Beam, Freestyle 4, 30 Hours, Ghost Town, Violent Crimes, Life Of The Party, Off The Grid.
My top 10 favorite Kanye songs in no particular order: All Falls Down Believe What I Say Big Brother Stronger Family Business Father Stretch My Hands Pt 1 Gold Digger I Wonder Street Lights Paranoid
Devil in a new dress fs, might be my favorite instrumental of all time, that vocal sample is just different and really makes captures the moment every time I hear it then Mike Dean absolutely shredding later in the track. The verses are also top notch by both artists
They passed TTW over Saint Pablo because of lore but Pablo is literally lore being told to us in the future. Everything he talked about in that song ended up coming true
Love the way you've done the matchups. Your chemistry is infectious. I disagreed with a fair few Rd 1 matchups which is truly a testament to how incredible Kanye's discography is 🔥
I have never seen match-ups this hard in any of the bracket video's. This man's discography is insane! You also should have included White Dress, Never See Me Again and Mama's Boyfriend.
And Life of the Party the production is amazing and the Kanye verse is great, but the André 3K verse is legendary and imo is the best Kanye work since 2018
@@alexdev5750 everyone says it’s the best song on tlop, no one cares to explain why. Honestly I can’t figure out how it’s better than no more parties in la, wolves, ultralight beam, famous, or 30 hours
Me personally I have always loved Everything I Am and thought that song spoke a lot about his career as a whole and lots of people can relate to. That being said I am predicting Runaway being number 1.
As much as I love D.I.A.N.D I personally would've gone with Jesus Walks. Just some of ye's best rapping and its meaning just makes it such an amazing song.
Seeing Heartless, Reborn, Blood on the Leaves, Gorgeous, and Off the Grid all go in the first round absolutely killed me Edit: ok they more than made up for it by putting my favorite Kanye song as the winner
1) Everything I Am 2) So Apalled 3) Bound 2 4) Slow Jamz 5) Power 6) Flashing Lights 7) Never Let U Down 8) Diamonds From Sierra Leone(Remix) 9) Heartless 10) Drive Slow
Always hard with Kanye brackets, cause you really need 128 songs, maybe more. My top 5 Ye songs are: 1. Last Call 2. Gone 3. Two Words 4. Saint Pablo 5. Everything I Am. It's a shame you never see those top 3 on these kinds of brackets.
👏👏👏 This was actually pretty spot on. Great bracket. I only had a few different takes, but they're not strong takes: Rd 1: Blood on the Leaves > FSMH Pt. 1 (Blood on the Leaves is one of my favorite samples from ye, just wish the lyrics were tied more) Gold Digger > Stronger (Though I'm not mad at this - Stronger is an Anthem, but if it's at a party, I'm dancing harder to GD) Hey mama > Everything I Am Come to Life > I Wonder (The fact that I Wonder almost beat Jesus Walks too?? It's a solid 6th Man, but it's not starting) Rd 2: Mercy > I Wonder HM: If it was the original Flashing Lights chorus, I'd take that over Devil in a New Dress Rd 3: Spaceship > Everything I Am (Again with this track. I like it a lot, but just a solid role player) Final Rd: Jesus Walks > DIAND General Bracket I would've picked a few of these over others for the bracket: All Mine; Streetlights; Get Em High; Coldest Winter; Slow Jamz; Drive Slow
Top 10 kanye songs 10) heard em say 9) Dark fantasy 8) All falls down 7) Through the wire 6) Ghost town 5) Violent crimes 4) Yikes 3) flashing lights 2) devil in a new dress 1) we major Honorable mention--Lost in the world, runaway, Freeee, I wonder, black skin head, on sight, FSMH, waves, jail
The production of diamonds is so grandiose. The James bond sample. The message is deep, tackling a humanitarian crisis with conflict mined diamonds. But at the same time the duality of it viewed through a lens of vanity and luxury juxtaposed up in that bish. Not to mention Ye was in his lyrical bag, wordplay, flow, energy. What are we doing?
My top 10 1. Come to life 2. Ghost Town 3. Street lights 4. Family business 5. Saint Pablo 6. Lost in the world(+outro) 7. Through the wire 8. Bring me down 9. Good night 10. New slaves Honorable mentions: Hell of a life, On sight, Live Fast Die Young, Two words, Gone, Jesus Walks
Here’s a crazy question….if you could make two Kanye songs one song 😅 like have them play back to back on the same track - could you pick a favorite?? For me - listening to Lost In The World INTO Who Will Survive In America - basically as one track - that’s kind of always been my favorite Kanye listening experience!! MBDTF is my favorite album - even tho I think graduation is his best by a SMALL margin over college dropout…. End of MBDTF is possibly one of my favorite album finales - end moments - with those two songs I mentioned - maybe ever?? Yeah.

Mercy > All of the Lights
Can’t Tell Me Nothing > Runaway
Final 4:
Stronger > In Paris (BRUTAL matchup)
Mercy > Can’t Tell Me Nothing
Championship:
Stronger > Mercy (BRUTAL matchup)
NOTE: My favorite songs in the bracket are Stronger, Mercy, In Paris, and Flashing Lights.
The end is literally a line in diand:
"We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan"
Violent Crimes being knocked out 1st round is a damn violent crime
I hope you guys make more bracket videos like this.
choosing spaceship over we major is WILD. spaceship is def a damn good song and motivating too but we major is pure beauty
I wish they put “White Dress” on the bracket. Such an underrated song
Kanye songs that are top tier and were SNUBBED from the list:
-Two Words
-Gone (top 5 imo)
-champion
-So Appalled (ppl say this song has a bad mix but I like it more than Monster)
-Guilt Trip
-I’m in it is so fing crazy
-30 Hours
-All Mine
-Yikes goes super hard too
-Fire
-Hurricane (this is the only song I love off of Donda bc those who were really anticipating for yahdhi to drop knew this song and that it was gonna be a banger
W on Gone. Most underrated Kanye song
I would’ve loved to have seen how Guilt Trip did
@@amusingnose6169 Of all time definitely
@@Cheetohandz me too I wonder how a lot of the songs on Yeezus would’ve done
Homecoming where?
New day over Diamonds😭😭😭😭 bro Diamonds Bonus has the most skilled Kanye verses ever. Period. And the Remix... Jay's feature was legendary
Fr Diamonds is my favorite song on this entire bracket
I never forget to like - but appreciate it when NFR is asking for it. A great episode once again!
Much love
why would you appreciate them telling you to like? 😂
@@NFRPodcastNFR PODCAST DİD YOU GUYS LİSTEN TWO WORDS İTS A BANGER İTS ON DROPOUT PLS LİSTEN THAT SONG
Family business and flashing lights are my two fav kanye songs don’t ask me why
Can't Tell Me Nothing was crazyyyyyy when it first came out 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm surprised last call wasn't in the list, i honestly think it's ye's most underrated song and is in my personal top 10.
I’m so happy Every Thing I Am got that far, it never make it that far. It also has the best ending lines of any Ye verse with the “please no more today”
NFR Podcast never fails to disappoint me with their brackets 🔥🔥🔥🔥
why don’t u like the brackets?
@@ConnorDudley585cus of how much they overhate power, its easily top 10 kanye songs, power is miles clear of spaceship, yet it gets eliminated by it😭🙏
@@wetsocks685power is not miles ahead of spaceship tf
imo gone has gotta be the most under appreciated kanye song, the slight changes in the beat throughout are fantastic
Criminal that homecoming wasn’t on the list
we major going out first is crazy
Come to life is the most underrated Kanye song, shit is gorgeous.
My opinions:
DISCLAIMER: I've never heard Mercy or All Day, the two unreleased songs on here, but I've heard every other song. I've listened to every released song on average probably 10 times. However, I haven't listened to Watch the Throne or Donda as much.
Round 1 left side:
Off The Grid > Monster, Bound 2 > Saint Pablo, Slow Jamz > N***as in Paris, We Major > Spaceship, Violent Crimes > No Mistakes, Ultralight Beam > Good Morning, Hey Mama > Everything I Am, Touch the Sky > No More Parties in LA, Black Skinhead > Otis, Welcome To Heartbreak > Cudi Montage
Round 2:
Ghost Town > Father Stretch My Hands, Monster > Saint Pablo, New Slaves > Spaceship, NMPILA > Jesus Walks, Hold My Liquor > All Of The Lights, Family Business > 4th Dimension
Round 3:
I Wonder > Jesus Walks, All of the Lights > Otis, Family Business > All Falls Down,
Round 4:
All Good
Round 5:
Runaway > Jesus Walks
Finals:
Devil In a New Dress > Jesus Walks
Final Stats/Words:
Out of 63 matchups, I agreed with 43, and disagreed with 20. I think Jesus Walks is overrated. I also think Jesus Walks, given a random bracket, shouldn't make it past the second round. I don't dislike the song, but we're comparing it to all of his other songs here.
My top 8-16: Through the Wire, Roses, Devil In a New Dress, Runaway, Hold My Liquor, Ultralight Beam, Freestyle 4, 30 Hours, Ghost Town, Violent Crimes, Life Of The Party, Off The Grid.
Based
You guys are so authentic because you have arguements. Best rap critics in the game 👍
My top 10 favorite Kanye songs in no particular order:
All Falls Down
Believe What I Say
Big Brother
Stronger
Family Business
Father Stretch My Hands Pt 1
Gold Digger
I Wonder
Street Lights
Paranoid
We major and violate crimes getting eliminated in the first round is absolutely diabolical
Devil in a new dress fs, might be my favorite instrumental of all time, that vocal sample is just different and really makes captures the moment every time I hear it then Mike Dean absolutely shredding later in the track. The verses are also top notch by both artists
From the very first head to head it was so hard to choose, what an artist
They passed TTW over Saint Pablo because of lore but Pablo is literally lore being told to us in the future. Everything he talked about in that song ended up coming true
Love the way you've done the matchups. Your chemistry is infectious. I disagreed with a fair few Rd 1 matchups which is truly a testament to how incredible Kanye's discography is 🔥
Update: They picked my top 2 Kanye songs oat for the finale. Elite
Not having no more parties in LA is a crime
I have never seen match-ups this hard in any of the bracket video's. This man's discography is insane! You also should have included White Dress, Never See Me Again and Mama's Boyfriend.
And Life of the Party the production is amazing and the Kanye verse is great, but the André 3K verse is legendary and imo is the best Kanye work since 2018
For me the finale was always gonna be Saint Pablo vs. Runaway. Fricking love those two songs.
His 2 most overrated songs, cool
Saint Pablo is NOT overrated 😭🙏@@Grasstoucher99
@@alexdev5750 everyone says it’s the best song on tlop, no one cares to explain why. Honestly I can’t figure out how it’s better than no more parties in la, wolves, ultralight beam, famous, or 30 hours
Me personally I have always loved Everything I Am and thought that song spoke a lot about his career as a whole and lots of people can relate to. That being said I am predicting Runaway being number 1.
Why is homecoming consistently the most slept on Kanye song
No Life of the Party was kind of wild tbh 😭😭😭 but I LOVE this video. New Day over Diamonds from Sierra fr Jay Z kinda baffled me as well.
We Major is my favorite song from any artist and it just lost to spaceship. Im not crying, YOU are
As much as I love D.I.A.N.D I personally would've gone with Jesus Walks. Just some of ye's best rapping and its meaning just makes it such an amazing song.
Putting Spaceship over Power should be worth no less than 3 life sentences. That's actually crazy
Seeing Heartless, Reborn, Blood on the Leaves, Gorgeous, and Off the Grid all go in the first round absolutely killed me
Edit: ok they more than made up for it by putting my favorite Kanye song as the winner
Hey Mama as well
Diamonds from Sierra Leone
39:46 i like that "I Am Working On Dying" team produced this episode 😂😂😂
We Major getting knocked out first round was so unfortunate. Thought it would go much further.
1) Everything I Am
2) So Apalled
3) Bound 2
4) Slow Jamz
5) Power
6) Flashing Lights
7) Never Let U Down
8) Diamonds From Sierra Leone(Remix)
9) Heartless
10) Drive Slow
how we major doesn’t get through is fucking nuts
I honestly would’ve picked Slow Jams over In Paris
Always hard with Kanye brackets, cause you really need 128 songs, maybe more. My top 5 Ye songs are:
1. Last Call
2. Gone
3. Two Words
4. Saint Pablo
5. Everything I Am.
It's a shame you never see those top 3 on these kinds of brackets.
This is an incredible top 5. Last Call one of the best songs ever fr
Gone is underrated as fuck. I love it
Especially the finale with the beat getting darker
Yeah "Gone" is one of my favorite songs by him
W for Two words
👏👏👏
This was actually pretty spot on. Great bracket. I only had a few different takes, but they're not strong takes:
Rd 1:
Blood on the Leaves > FSMH Pt. 1 (Blood on the Leaves is one of my favorite samples from ye, just wish the lyrics were tied more)
Gold Digger > Stronger (Though I'm not mad at this - Stronger is an Anthem, but if it's at a party, I'm dancing harder to GD)
Hey mama > Everything I Am
Come to Life > I Wonder (The fact that I Wonder almost beat Jesus Walks too?? It's a solid 6th Man, but it's not starting)
Rd 2:
Mercy > I Wonder
HM: If it was the original Flashing Lights chorus, I'd take that over Devil in a New Dress
Rd 3:
Spaceship > Everything I Am (Again with this track. I like it a lot, but just a solid role player)
Final Rd:
Jesus Walks > DIAND
General Bracket
I would've picked a few of these over others for the bracket: All Mine; Streetlights; Get Em High; Coldest Winter; Slow Jamz; Drive Slow
im just sad that Lost in the World wasnt in this bracket. beautiful song, so underrated
Top 10 kanye songs
10) heard em say
9) Dark fantasy
8) All falls down
7) Through the wire
6) Ghost town
5) Violent crimes
4) Yikes
3) flashing lights
2) devil in a new dress

You will not be disappointed

@@NFRPodcastNFR I AM WHERE İS TWO WORDS IM SO ANGRY MAN
I let a lot of things slide. But when you guys kicked out diamonds of Sierra Leone to new day without a second thought, i had to take a break
The production of diamonds is so grandiose. The James bond sample. The message is deep, tackling a humanitarian crisis with conflict mined diamonds. But at the same time the duality of it viewed through a lens of vanity and luxury juxtaposed up in that bish. Not to mention Ye was in his lyrical bag, wordplay, flow, energy. What are we doing?
Who else has so many classic/bangers in their discography? I’ll wait…
The only person I can think of is Eminem but I still think Kanye has way more. Kanye has like 4 hits per album and Eminem misses sometimes
I can't think of anyone probably only the beatles 😂
Rappers? No one. All artists? The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. but Kanye is one of the best to ever do it
The only person that is on the same level as Kanye is Michael Jackson. They are the two greatest artists of all time hands down🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻!!!
Drake ez😊
Bro there were so many legendary tracks knocked out even just in the first round matchups. It really put this discography into perspective
Touch The Sky is underrated in my opinion one of Kanye’s best songs
No way they were so certain that Jesus walks beats parties “any day of the week” that’s insane and also where’s homecoming at
Spaceship getting the love it deserves. Definitely my favourite Kanye song
We Major is superior
Each to their own. It’s definitely in my top 10 kanye but spaceship is elite
@@oisinnoonan3349respect that love pretty much all these songs so can’t go wrong
Crime not to have “we don’t care” in this bracket
What Lupe album were they talking about? Lasers, F&L 2?
i can only imagine they were talking about lasers
Lasers

7. Through the wire
8. Bring me down

Honorable mentions: Hell of a life, On sight, Live Fast Die Young, Two words, Gone, Jesus Walks
Here’s a crazy question….if you could make two Kanye songs one song 😅 like have them play back to back on the same track - could you pick a favorite??
For me - listening to Lost In The World INTO Who Will Survive In America - basically as one track - that’s kind of always been my favorite Kanye listening experience!! MBDTF is my favorite album - even tho I think graduation is his best by a SMALL margin over college dropout….
End of MBDTF is possibly one of my favorite album finales - end moments - with those two songs I mentioned - maybe ever?? Yeah.
One of these should've won the whole bracket:
I Wonder, Hey Mama, Welcome To Heartbreak, Runaway, Saint Pablo.
