’10 Best Singles: #6 Kanye West “Power”
Thursday, January 06 2011 2:02 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Album Reviews, Blog
I’ve already gone on the record a coupla times about how much I dug Kanye’s comeback song from the moment the joint accidentally leaked. Oops! Fuck the radio, “Power” was the record Donda’s baby boy had to deliver. A snarling salute to one’s self—it’s swagger on a hundred thousand somethin’ somethin’. Almost serving as its own EP, it set the stage nicely for the G.O.O.D. Friday campaign, which all culminated with the release of MBDTF. Whether one song or with a full body of work, Mr. West ain’t playin’ with you fools. That boy good.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
Joint is crazy! Give me some power!
I dont like the song anymore, I skip over it everytime. It was cool when I first heard it, but its just kinda annoying to me now. Great song to set the tone for the rest of GOOD Friday though. But yeah, 6 is cool though I feel like I can name more than 5 singles better than this though. I woulda put it as 10 or not on the list at all. Thats just my opinion. No controversy on this list yet? Hmm.
BMF will be #1!!!
Man, Kanye West iz wack az fuk! My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was too fake-hop-hop-oriented…

@Word cosign; I think it really went downhill for me when that “Social Network” movie came out and I started hearing it every 10 minutes on the commercials
Overally good track tho, I guess I just got really tired of it.
# 6????????
RAPRADAR YOU FOOLS TRIPPIN.
Power should have been higher.
ahhh i can see where this is going
waka and rick ross shit gonna top the list
btw can anybody explain the “Colin Powell, Austin Powers” line? Cuz at least to me, that one makes so little sense it kinda brings the song down. It seems like he might have thought Colin Powell’s last name was Powers? Or something. #justwondering
I’m guessing , over, bmf, not afraid,love the way, and black and yellow will be the rest… not in that order
When this leaked Memorial Day weekend, this was all that I was listening too.
This shoulda been higher. Not saying that because I’m a biased Kanye fan, but because this shit was really dope and I STILL bump this shit in the whip and the crib like it’s June 2010.
Niggau drive a daewoo
@ Ac@pella!
I heard this song in May before I was going to work.
Fuck SNL and the whole cast/Tell Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass/More specifily they can kiss my asshole i’m a asshole/you niggas got jokes. Best dopest line ever.
It is a dope song.
THis Was Good and i finally could take Kanye seriouly…
Fuck it! Should be #2! (and Em #1)
