If Kanye drops a "Greatest Hits" album, it'd be the GOAT greatest hits album for any rapper

Seriously, who could compete? None of these songs sound dated....

And most, if not all greatest hits album contain a filler song or two that wasn't really a hit or that great of a song. Not the case here.


1. "Through the Wire" - still a great song
2. "All Falls Down" - his first big hit
3. "Jesus Walks" - went Gold
4. "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" - or the remix with Jay, still a great song
5. "Gold Digger" - HUGE hit....no question....
6. "Heard 'Em Say" - just a great song, went Gold
7. "Touch the Sky" - debatable as a "hit", but one my fav Kanye tracks
8. "Can't Tell Me Nothing" - not my fav, but it went platinum
9. "Stronger" - biggest single of his career
10. "Good Life" - another huge hit
11. "Flashing Lights" - didnt chart highly, but everyone knows this song is crack
12. "Love Lockdown" - the beginning of a different Kanye...single went 3x platinum
13. "Heartless" - tied w/ Stronger for his biggest solo hit, 5x platinum
14. "Amazing" - didnt chart well, but used for numerous commercials
15. "Power" - liked the remix w/ Jay, but still went platinum
16. "All of the Lights" - great song
17. "Runaway" - highest charted hit from MBDTF
18. "nikkas in Paris" - way overplayed, but don't front....
19. "Mercy" - 2x platinum


We can stop here, but still "Clique" went platinum, "Otis" went platinum, "No Church..." went Gold....and that's including none of his feature hits.

Eminem, as many solo singles, as he's had can't put together a commercially strong list like that. I'd argue against Jay as well. Lil Wayne or whoever else we look at cannot compete with that.

And I'm no Kanye stan, whatsover....even so I probably left off a few songs his fans would include.

but the majority of those songs weren't all "hits". If you notice I mentioned a qualifier of commercial hits.

If we're just listing songs WE LIKE, then sure there's other artists you could put together a compilation of. Had Pac lived longer, it would've been even easier.

And to answer ur question, damn near every greatest hits album from any decent artist comes with a new song or two that they did solely for that album....and they're usually worthy of making the album.

Biggie
Jay
DMX

:childplease: You guys clearly do't understand the term "Greatest Hits". It means what it says.....not just a bunch of "songs I like"

Again, you can make a case for Jay, but nobody else on that list has 20 songs like I just listed from Kanye

I'd take a Snoop Dogg greatest hits over Kanye greatest hits anytime

You guys dump on Snoops post-Doggystyle discography on here all the time.

You can't put together 12-13 songs from Snoop catalog(especially after '92) that are major hits.

You can't.
