The Ultimate Kanye West Song Bracket 

So many legendary songs, but none of them even come remotely close to Lift Yourself. That track is a lyrical masterpiece. Might just be the greatest song of all time

They could’ve made this 128 songs. The man’s a GENIUS

They got 66 songs and still had to exclude champion , streetlights , goodlife, two words,late , robocop , homecoming , guilt trip , waves , real friends , hurricane etc......this man is a genius

Diamonds getting out in the first round is absolutely criminal.

Homecoming not on here is a disgrace

The finale being Devil vs Jesus is crazyyy

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.

Who else wants more brackets?

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

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

Hold my liquor is easily the most underrated Kanye song ever. It is legitimately number 1-2 depending on what mood I’m in

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.

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 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

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.

two words definitely deserved a spot there. it's just beautiful

Wish streetlights was included in my opinion it would have made a massive run. Top 10 Kanye song

Videos like these make you realise how great of an artist Kanye really is, unbelievable

My top 10 Kanye songs 1. Last Call 2. Family Business 3. Can't tell me nothing 4. We Major 5. Never Let Me Down 6. Saint Pablo 7. Runaway 8. All falls down 9. Everything i am 10. Two Words This list changes everytime but that's mine

Every new round I'm like "nahhhh no way that track is out Round 1!" but the other one also deserves it, bro has too many hits 💀

In my personal opinion, Devil In A New Dress deserved this win. The instrumental, beautiful guitar solo, Smokey Robinson sample. Amazing song.

This is already a top tier nfr vid just off of the length, thank you guys so much for this one🙏🏽🙏🏽

WHY WAS FLASHING LIGHTS VS HEARTLESS A FIRST ROUND MATCHUP 😭😭😭😭

Everything I Am IMO is THE most underrated Kanye song, Such a phenomenal beat and some of Ye's most impactful lyrics.

Great vid per usual, I haven't been watching as much as I used to but you guys still produce some of the best content on RU-vid. Its so hard to choose a number one, but I would have to go with Devil in a new Dress or We Major, both absolute classics. Keep it up gang

Heartless might not be his best song, but I think its a perfect song.

The good morning ultra beam debate was great lmao. Been a fan the past 5 months and you guys are killing it

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

“Saint Pablo” better make it far. Such an underrated Ye song.

Appreciate you guys always releasing Quality Videos which are always upto mark. The most Entertaining Channel on RU-vid rn

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. Graduation will take up the most spots/have the mostsongs in the sweet 16 and elite 8.❌ what in the world I thought this prediction was a lock😭😭 5. No song after 2013 will make it to the elite 8✅ I’ll follow up after watching to see how I did lol: Update: Man, I cannot believe I doubted Diand in this bracket because its my favorite Kanye song of all time. I had to put my personal bias aside and I genuinely thought you guys were going to knock it out

I hope you guys make more bracket videos like this.

" *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."

bro this crazy, every new video is always a banger, these guys should be in the emmys at this point for how top class these videos are

Unbelievable that Gone isn’t in this bracket! Crazy sample, one Kanye’s best verses, Consequence’s verse is crazy…so so underrated!

Your guys content is great. i love the amount of knowledge you have on this topic, and in general, music. Thanks for these great videos.

It would make my whole week if you guys did this with Denzel Curry songs! He’s so underrated and I have never seen a song bracket for him on RU-vid… 🙏 The goat channel of hip hop discussion doing this would just be a blessing

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 never forget to like - but appreciate it when NFR is asking for it. A great episode once again!

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

Kanye West really has a legendary discography.

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.

👏👏👏 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

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.

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.

The end is literally a line in diand: "We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan"

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.

From the very first head to head it was so hard to choose, what an artist

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 Kanye’s best song and it loses first round Edit: Homecoming not even on the bracket?

LETS GOO NFR I NEEDED THISSSSSS

Been waiting a while for this one. Love it

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.

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.

This is truly an amazing holiday gift amazing work boys

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 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jesus Walks>> The winner was so predictable before even watching lol

You guys are so authentic because you have arguements. Best rap critics in the game 👍

Yooo thanks NFR gang for hooking us up with this banger ass video!!!!!!!!

Family business and flashing lights are my two fav kanye songs don’t ask me why

Saying Jay Z’s verse on Monster is stronger than Ye’s verse off Monster is borderline blasphemy😭😭😭

My top 10 1) I wonder 2) DIAND 3) Diamonds from Sierra Leone remix 4) Saint Pablo 5) POWER 6) Touch the sky 7) Flashing lights 8) No more parties in LA 9) Slow Jamz 10) Can’t tell me nothing

TOP YAPPING DUOS joking outside beautiful video make more of these!

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

If Lift Yourself ain't number 1 we riot

great video guys

This is one of my favourite videos on YT now

Criminal that homecoming wasn’t on the list

No homecoming :(

hell yea the interlude to all of the lights is amazing and a perfect segway... i wish there was a conjoined version for when i have shuffle on.

Love the content

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

Can’t tell me nothing is his best song

This vid help me discover some missing diamonds, nice one guys! A tier list idea sounds great too!!

New day over Diamonds😭😭😭😭 bro Diamonds Bonus has the most skilled Kanye verses ever. Period. And the Remix... Jay's feature was legendary

I wish they put “White Dress” on the bracket. Such an underrated song

do another 1 this was so fun to watch

imo gone has gotta be the most under appreciated kanye song, the slight changes in the beat throughout are fantastic

Off the grid losing in the first round is criminal

No life of the party is crazy

choosing spaceship over we major is WILD. spaceship is def a damn good song and motivating too but we major is pure beauty

Ok….listening again to Runaway…I think it can say that’s my fav Ye song - and it’s not gonna change! It’s everything you need from Kanye 👏👏👏 that outro is absolutely transcendent - without doing too much!! It also featured in the perfect way in The Night Before - certainly my favorite holiday movie 😭 yes!! It’s actually good loool don’t let people convince you otherwise! But I think a song that doesn’t get enough love any more is Stronger!! Stronger really got me into Kanye - and I’d still put it in my top 5 - mainly for nostalgia 😅 but it’s also just a good song.

So happy you guys did this. I’m currently going through his discography in anticipation for Friday’s drop. Love the content! New subscriber here!

What Lupe album were they talking about? Lasers, F&L 2?

39:46 i like that "I Am Working On Dying" team produced this episode 😂😂😂

Great video. Great bracket. The Disrespect to Diamonds though…

We Major getting knocked out first round was so unfortunate. Thought it would go much further.

Touch The Sky is underrated in my opinion one of Kanye’s best songs

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

i wish you guys would upload this bracket somewhere for fans to do it too, great vid tho

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.

Who else has so many classic/bangers in their discography? I’ll wait…

15:52 "You can't understand the feeling of power." bro's trynna get deep lmao

Awesome to see love for Heard Em Say!

Ghost Town is a MASTERPIECE🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻!!!

Kanye is truly a musical god!

10 out of 10 video tho, thank you ant and lou!

Good video love it (a fan since the start of 22 so almost 2 years) But wheres on sight man i love that song the beat is so in your face but bounce at the same time plus the fact that its the intro But maybe thats just me Nothing but love her from Denmark

Yessss. Love to see a Kendrick one. Would be nice to see a 64 song Drake one too
