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
@@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
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 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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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 UA-cam. 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
I respect it but I really think DiaND is overrated, not trying to bait or anything I just don't get the hype, I find the flow repetitive even though I appreciate Rick Ross' verse and the production but I wouldn't place it even in a top 20 Kanye

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

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.

I had to put my personal bias aside and I genuinely thought you guys were going to knock it out
" *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."
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.
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 UA-cam… 🙏 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 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

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
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”
👏👏👏 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
@@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😭🙏
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
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
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
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.
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.
@@taismith4313 Just saw your message. I’m currently on Yeezus. Gotta say my all-time favorite Ye album has to be between College Dropout and MBDTF. College Dropout because it’s a classic, but MBDTF was my first time listening to Ye. I had just moved to a new state, started a new high school, and didn’t know anyone. Then, this kid had me come over and chill and he smoked me up and put on MBDTF and being high while listening to that album - I was on another level.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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

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

Runaway?
@ it’s good but a tad overrated imo. Probably in my top 15
imo gone has gotta be the most under appreciated kanye song, the slight changes in the beat throughout are fantastic
how we major doesn’t get through is fucking nuts
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”
Family business and flashing lights are my two fav kanye songs don’t ask me why
👏👏👏
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
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.
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
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
We Major is my favorite song from any artist and it just lost to spaceship. Im not crying, YOU are
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
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?
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.
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.
Bro there were so many legendary tracks knocked out even just in the first round matchups. It really put this discography into perspective
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.
Crime not to have “we don’t care” in this bracket
We Major Kanye’s best song and it loses first round
Edit: Homecoming not even on the bracket?
4:20 why are ant’s popoffs so polite and Canadian 😭😭
😂😂😂
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!
he. not dropping
What album are you on and what’s your current favorite ?
Welcome to the NFR Family 🙏
@@taismith4313 Just saw your message. I’m currently on Yeezus. Gotta say my all-time favorite Ye album has to be between College Dropout and MBDTF. College Dropout because it’s a classic, but MBDTF was my first time listening to Ye. I had just moved to a new state, started a new high school, and didn’t know anyone. Then, this kid had me come over and chill and he smoked me up and put on MBDTF and being high while listening to that album - I was on another level.
the albums never gonna drop😭😭
Putting Spaceship over Power should be worth no less than 3 life sentences. That's actually crazy
If Lift Yourself ain't number 1 we riot
You will not be disappointed
😂😂😂
@@NFRPodcastNFR I AM WHERE İS TWO WORDS IM SO ANGRY MAN
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
We Major getting knocked out first round was so unfortunate. Thought it would go much further.
I honestly would’ve picked Slow Jams over In Paris
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.
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?
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

Honorable mention--Lost in the world, runaway, Freeee, I wonder, black skin head, on sight, FSMH, waves, jail
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
Last Call gets so overlooked....criminal not making the bracket
Saying Jay Z’s verse on Monster is stronger than Ye’s verse off Monster is borderline blasphemy😭😭😭
Flashing lights over Heartless is absolutely gibberish
No life of the party is crazy
andre verse is so fucking good
15:52 "You can't understand the feeling of power." bro's trynna get deep lmao
