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
Interesting what do you like about it that much ?? because I think it’s an amazing produced song but that’s about it would like to hear your opinion😁
@@tomvanoers2387scoopity poop
@@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
Greatest troll song 😂
We forgor to put it in in 💀
They could’ve made this 128 songs. The man’s a GENIUS
Easily
@@saqib79655 beats a day for 3 summers* love u
@@NFRPodcastall of the lights not even included was gutting 😂 one of my favourite Ye songs with the interlude included great video nonetheless
@@publishtyme8081what
My bad didn’t get far enough into the video without commenting 😂 Homecoming another of my top Ye songs
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
some of those should have been in instead of some of these songs
30 hours
Robocop?!
And Praise God
FML
Homecoming not on here is a disgrace
meh
Diamonds getting out in the first round is absolutely criminal.
Facts
Agreed
I could let a lot of things slide. But when they did that, I had to take a break from the video
New Day is crazy tho
Diamonds would have made my final 4
Who else wants more brackets?
The finale being Devil vs Jesus is crazyyy
This is symbolic. IMO, Jesus Walks has and will have more cultural impact in our world than we can even imagine. In time we will see why.
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!
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.
Top 5 in my opinion with Real Friends, 24, Flashing lights…
@@ernestosaavedra922 real friends is in your top 5 kanye songs? yikes
saint pablo is top 3 kanye one of his best songs ever
W take
@@vladastilean1573 yes bro for sure real friends is in top five, probably my second favourite
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
Flashing lights best ye song
Where can you view these stats? Thats pretty cool
Flashing lights is kanyes best song.
@real_1354 Cap not even his best song with lights in the name All Of The Lights is better
@@autisticDementia sounds the best to me but I respect ur opinion
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.
best song on donda
@@mr.tripledouble4568i prefer hurricane but yeah
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
100 % agreed.
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
Oh and let's not forget it's also the song where he does THIS legendary move: th-cam.com/video/miUqaDjoM34/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CHuCFjx1s_YYQbM2
I literally commented this 30 seconds ago 😭
💯 agree
Yeah they did it very dirty. I feel like besides "Heard Em Say" and "Roses" every other LR song was eliminated early
Such a celebratory song but sonically isnt as good as the rest of 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.
W take, it used to be my favorite song but I heard it way to much now it got a bit annoying
I swear, this right here, history in the making, man 🔥🔥🔥
Classic
White Dress is the most underrated Ye song, it’s so good
Yes it should have won. So powerful and so heartfelt. It feels like Kanye is spitting his soul on the mic.
Videos like these make you realise how great of an artist Kanye really is, unbelievable
two words definitely deserved a spot there. it's just beautiful
Mos def has a crazy verse. Also W profile pic. Wu is number 1
@@Kalervojankko8433❤❤❤
“Saint Pablo” better make it far. Such an underrated Ye song.
its not underrated at all. in fact its become a bit overrated.
Pretty fairly rated imo
@@yeitsdylit’s perfectly rated. Runaway is hella overrated
@@user-iv9xg5nv1t stay having the same npc opinions as everyone else
every ye fan cooms over that song, how could it possibly be underrated? yall just be calling anything underrated
Hold my liquor is easily the most underrated Kanye song ever. It is legitimately number 1-2 depending on what mood I’m in
W, Top 5 for me, that "bitch i'm back from my coma" hits different
absolutely
That guitar in the end takes me somewhere else
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.
Hold my liquor is so good, I ascend when I hear it bro
Wish streetlights was included in my opinion it would have made a massive run. Top 10 Kanye song
Fax
Damnnnnn crazy that didn’t make it, could’ve been top 8 for sure
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
Two words is insanely good
this is the only correct list but I would swap we major and DIAND
W but i would try to squeeze in violent crimes and hold my liquor, idk where tho
no I Wonder?

3. Can't tell me nothing
4. We Major
5. Never Let Me Down
6. Saint Pablo
7. Runaway
8. All falls down

This list changes everytime but that's mine
the correct list
last call at number 1
last call has always been one of the top for me. great call on that one
God tier list man
Trash list tbh
The good morning ultra beam debate was great lmao. Been a fan the past 5 months and you guys are killing it
In my personal opinion, Devil In A New Dress deserved this win.
The instrumental, beautiful guitar solo, Smokey Robinson sample.
Amazing song.
Heartless might not be his best song, but I think its a perfect song.
Wozo

Heartless ain’t even the best on 808’s
@@cookiedoughbro5252a song don't gotta be the best on the album for it to be perfect
@@aydenx3 ehhhhh….kinda does tho but it is pretty good
Everything I Am IMO is THE most underrated Kanye song, Such a phenomenal beat and some of Ye's most impactful lyrics.
Absolutely
Not top 4
One of Kanye’s best beats. It’s so chill and smooth
@@Kanyewestbiggestfan123
DJ Premier did the production on that song.
@@cremetangerine82 he doesn’t have a production credit he just did the scratches
Unbelievable that Gone isn’t in this bracket! Crazy sample, one Kanye’s best verses, Consequence’s verse is crazy…so so underrated!
So fax bro I was just thinking that
That’s what I’m saying dude, that song is one of my favorite Kanye songs
Ong
Gone is amazing and surprisingly very repayable
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 TH-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
Kanye’s best 2 songs
🙏🙏🙏
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
@@ErnieJackit just sounds good. I agree though. Not even in my top 20 favorite kanye songs
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 💀
WHY WAS FLASHING LIGHTS VS HEARTLESS A FIRST ROUND MATCHUP 😭😭😭😭
This is already a top tier nfr vid just off of the length, thank you guys so much for this one🙏🏽🙏🏽
Appreciate you guys always releasing Quality Videos which are always upto mark.
The most Entertaining Channel on TH-cam rn
Question: does anyone know the album they were referring to about Lupe fiasco
@@natem2461lasers.
@@natem2461probably lasers. Sold a lot but often seen by music fans as lupe’s worst
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

Appreciate the love Spicy🙏
i agree with ya :)@@fedes3127
@@fedes3127lmfaooo
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
Lol
@@vocad808yeah I was probably horribly wrong😢
Bound 2??
@@thenewlbjits not on the bracket (for some reason)
I hate how nothing from Yeezus ever show up in the late round of these types of videos
Flashing lights clears heartless so hard it's not even funny. Thanks for saving the bracket Nick
Incredibly massive L
Kanye West really has a legendary discography.
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 TH-cam… 🙏 The goat channel of hip hop discussion doing this would just be a blessing
I never forget to like - but appreciate it when NFR is asking for it. A great episode once again!
Much love
why would you appreciate them telling you to like? 😂
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
I hope you guys make more bracket videos like this.
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
Come to life is the most underrated Kanye song, shit is gorgeous.
" *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.
💯
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
Family business and flashing lights are my two fav kanye songs don’t ask me why
If Lift Yourself ain't number 1 we riot
You will not be disappointed
😂😂😂
From the very first head to head it was so hard to choose, what an artist
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
No homecoming :(
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.
For me the finale was always gonna be Saint Pablo vs. Runaway. Fricking love those two songs.
His 2 most overrated songs, cool
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
@@cheetohands9 me too I wonder how a lot of the songs on Yeezus would’ve done
Homecoming where?

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
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 🔥
Update: They picked my top 2 Kanye songs oat for the finale. Elite
choosing spaceship over we major is WILD. spaceship is def a damn good song and motivating too but we major is pure beauty
imo gone has gotta be the most under appreciated kanye song, the slight changes in the beat throughout are fantastic
The end is literally a line in diand:
"We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan"
Criminal that homecoming wasn’t on the list
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
15:52 "You can't understand the feeling of power." bro's trynna get deep lmao
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 and violate crimes getting eliminated in the first round is absolutely diabolical
39:46 i like that "I Am Working On Dying" team produced this episode 😂😂😂
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.
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
Can’t tell me nothing is his best song
W
4:20 why are ant’s popoffs so polite and Canadian 😭😭
😂😂😂
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”
Who else has so many classic/bangers in their discography? I’ll wait…
The only person I can think of is Eminem but I still think Kanye has way more. Kanye has like 4 hits per album and Eminem misses sometimes
I can't think of anyone probably only the beatles 😂
Rappers? No one. All artists? The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. but Kanye is one of the best to ever do it
The only person that is on the same level as Kanye is Michael Jackson. They are the two greatest artists of all time hands down🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻!!!
Drake ez😊
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.
Through the wire number 1 for me, what a track
Can't Tell Me Nothing was crazyyyyyy when it first came out 🔥🔥🔥🔥
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😭😭
all of the lights over hold my liquor? wow
You guys are so authentic because you have arguements. Best rap critics in the game 👍
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.
Ghost town is so underrated
Not having no more parties in LA is a crime
My top 10 favorite Kanye songs in no particular order:
All Falls Down
Believe What I Say
Big Brother
Stronger
Family Business
Father Stretch My Hands Pt 1
Gold Digger
I Wonder
Street Lights
Paranoid
Ghost Town is a MASTERPIECE🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻!!!
Kanye is truly a musical god!
Yooo thanks NFR gang for hooking us up with this banger ass video!!!!!!!!
My all time top 5:
1. Runaway
2. Power
3. Diamonds from Sierra Leone (Remix)
4. Stronger
5. Family Business
Go Kanye go kanye Go
Touch The Sky is underrated in my opinion one of Kanye’s best songs
My opinions:
DISCLAIMER: I've never heard Mercy or All Day, the two unreleased songs on here, but I've heard every other song. I've listened to every released song on average probably 10 times. However, I haven't listened to Watch the Throne or Donda as much.
Round 1 left side:
Off The Grid > Monster, Bound 2 > Saint Pablo, Slow Jamz > N***as in Paris, We Major > Spaceship, Violent Crimes > No Mistakes, Ultralight Beam > Good Morning, Hey Mama > Everything I Am, Touch the Sky > No More Parties in LA, Black Skinhead > Otis, Welcome To Heartbreak > Cudi Montage
Round 2:
Ghost Town > Father Stretch My Hands, Monster > Saint Pablo, New Slaves > Spaceship, NMPILA > Jesus Walks, Hold My Liquor > All Of The Lights, Family Business > 4th Dimension
Round 3:
I Wonder > Jesus Walks, All of the Lights > Otis, Family Business > All Falls Down,
Round 4:
All Good
Round 5:
Runaway > Jesus Walks
Finals:
Devil In a New Dress > Jesus Walks
Final Stats/Words:
Out of 63 matchups, I agreed with 43, and disagreed with 20. I think Jesus Walks is overrated. I also think Jesus Walks, given a random bracket, shouldn't make it past the second round. I don't dislike the song, but we're comparing it to all of his other songs here.
My top 8-16: Through the Wire, Roses, Devil In a New Dress, Runaway, Hold My Liquor, Ultralight Beam, Freestyle 4, 30 Hours, Ghost Town, Violent Crimes, Life Of The Party, Off The Grid.
Based
Putting Spaceship over Power should be worth no less than 3 life sentences. That's actually crazy
Spaceship getting the love it deserves. Definitely my favourite Kanye song
We Major is superior
Each to their own. It’s definitely in my top 10 kanye but spaceship is elite
@@oisinnoonan3349respect that love pretty much all these songs so can’t go wrong
This is amazing. We need Em bracket ASAP!!
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
My final four would be Through the Wire, Famous, Touch the Sky, and Roses. Roses takes the cake vs TTW
Jesus Walks>>
The winner was so predictable before even watching lol
We Major getting knocked out first round was so unfortunate. Thought it would go much further.
we major going out first is crazy
Heartless going out the first round 💀
Flashing lights over Heartless was honestly upsetting.
nah its correct
W
Heartless is one of the most overrated Kanye songs. Flashing Lights is overplayed but still definitely a better song
@@mjsburneraccount5591 eh it's close, but I really felt Kanye's emotions on Heartless, he has better vocals on Heartless imo. Flashing lights is more catchy and the sample was great
