And Time for Top Songs and Music Videos
1.JESUS WALKS
Jesus Walks is a well-known Kanye West song that is a religious, anguished, profanity-laced rant on racial injustice, sin, and the entertainment industry set to an army march. Middle America assumed Kanye was a religious rapper for a few months, at least until “Gold Digger” was released. During the “College Dropout” cycle, “Jesus Walks” was his third Top 20 hit in a row.
2.STRONGER
Daft Punk’s breakup has made everyone in America aware of their existence, but most casual music fans were unaware of their existence in 2007. For his smash hit “Stronger,” Kanye sampled their 2001 song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” The song quickly rose to the top of the charts, and Daft Punk even made a surprise appearance on TV to perform it with him at the 2008 Grammy Awards. It was the beginning of the band’s rise to international fame.
3.RUNAWAY
The song is centered on a single eerie piano note. At the end, his voice is mangled beyond comprehension. It’s Kanye’s way of implying that no one understands or even hears what he’s saying.
