Sure, "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" comes close enough, but no other song in his catalog can rival the depth and nuances of "Jesus Walks." Despite it never being released as a single, he’s used it to close out shows throughout his career.
Today is Kanye West's 42nd birthday.

Kanye says that thing about a sarcophagus, Rick Ross shows up for 30 seconds and Jay-Z yells “LAAAAHVE,” which served as a prophetic death rattle for his relevance going forward. The single reached number eight in the UK and number eighteen in Germany and was the group's highest charting single on both the R&B and dance charts in the U.S.
A wonderful, self-produced, carefully rapped ode to the legacies of Common, Talib Kweli, Big L, all those culturally correct icons.

An ugly, gristly slab of Trent Reznor-esque Goth-pop, with Kanye standing resolute, unfurling haymaker after haymaker on an unexpecting America.

Somehow he always manages to win the world back and it usually only takes a moment or two. DX7 - Dabeull ft Holybrune We've invited some of America's top Swing deejays to list the hottest songs being played at Swing dance events throughout the country so we can take the "Music Pulse of America".
Love Robbery - Kalin and Myles, FAVORITE OLDIES SWING SONG It’s hard to compare “Touch The Sky” with “New Slaves.” The funny thing is we’re not even halfway through yet — Kanye’s only in his late 30s.
