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.
