1. Cant Tell Me Nothing
That song basically replaces Prozac. Such a confidence builder, always makes me feel right so it really means a lot to me.

2. Blame Game
3. Paranoid
4. Flashing Lights
5. Drive Slow

So many good ones that I feel awful about leaving out. Hey Mama, Homecoming, Power, All of the Lights.

Paranoid was okay, but not my type of Kanye

Ghost Town. Fantastic song, and currently Kanyes own personal favorite song of his. He said it himself at his KSG Flog Gnaw performance last month (I was there :D )

Devil In A New Dress

But Rick Rosses verse on the end is great. Ill have to think of 4 more.

Damn you got MBDTF that low? I thought it would be 2nd at the very lowest. And I am listening to some Ye shit now and i am not a fan. I dont like how short a lot of the songs are. Kanye is best when it sounds like he has a whole orchestra going. Not this short unprocessed stuff.

It is so good. There are no bad songs on the album, some better than others tho obviously. Monster is another awesome track. It is the Only song where I was genuinely impressed with Nicki Minaj's rapping abilities.

Well heres what Ill say about MBDTF: I think its objectively Kanyes best album. As in, Ill acknowledge that its his best album, its just not my personal favorite one. Its his most impressive piece of work, with its deep lyricism and themes as well as the maximalist, beautiful production behind it. But, I dont really like So Appalled so it takes some loss there.

I rank Graduation and Late Registration above MBDTF because they are loaded front to bottom with my favorite Kanye songs, theyre both very closely ranked together, I only slightly like Graduation more and it was hard for me to choose it over LR in the end.

The Life of Pablo is in my opinion Kanyes most underrated album, people hate on it just because its new Kanye but I think its an absolute masterpiece, loaded with bangers top to bottom as well. Such an under appreciated album.

In the end its really hard to rank all of his albums because i love all of them, even the bottom ones like Yeezus/808s/Ye are all fantastic. I honestly dont think he has a single bad album, I think theyre all amazing.

Damn this is a tough one

Hell of a life
Diamonds from Sierra Leone
Touch the sky
Gold digger

Dark Twisted Fantasy is my favorite rap album ever. Could probably rap that entire album front to back.

As for songs:

Blood On The Leaves
Gorgeous
Hell of A Life
Lost In The World
No More Parties In LA

Honestly I'd post everything from MBDTF if I could but that would be biased lol
