Another double elimination for you's! Really falling off like flies now.

=26. Kanye West & Jay Z feat. Beyoncé - Lift Off (6 votes, 15.79%)

Seems as though even one of BuzzJack's favs, Queen B, can't even help this one to really lift off in this rate. Yet another track from Kanye's collaboration album with Jay Z 'Watch The Throne' (it really is taking a battering isn't it?) bows out here. The song peaked at #48 on the UK Singles Chart on the week of the album release in August 2010 but never managed to re-peak, despite being made a single at a later stage. The song failed to chart on US Billboard Hot 100. It has never been one of my favourites and have to say I don't really return to it often so I can see why it has gone so early. Still love the outro though.



=26. Kanye West feat. Adam Levine - Heard 'Em Say (6 votes, 15.79%)

Also falling out of the running, with the same numbers of votes as 'Lift Off', is 'Heard 'Em Say', the third single from Kanye's second full length album 'Late Registration'. The song features vocals from another of Buzzjack's favs (*sarcasm*) Adam Levine. The chorus was later re-used by Adam's band Maroon 5 for 'Nothing Lasts Forever' which was featured on their 2007 album 'It Won't Be Soon Before Long'. The song managed to peak at #22 in the UK Singles Chart and #26 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Has always been my least favourite Kanye song ever, has nothing on his creative stuff he comes out with today. It was certainly its time to go.



=26. Heard 'Em Say (6 votes, 15.79%)
=26. Lift Off (6 votes, 15.79%)
27. Why I Love You (5 votes, 14.71%)
28. Slow Jamz (6 votes, 17.65%)
=30. Bound 2 (6 votes, 16.67%)
=30. H•A•M (6 votes, 16.67%)

So, are you happy with these results? What do you want out next? Will 'Only One' manage scrape through another round? Get voting and discussing!

Deadline: Saturday

Hard one for me now my initial pick 'Heard 'Em Say' is finally out. Toss up between 'Good Life', 'Only One' and 'FourFiveSeconds'. Think its got to be the latter though as Kanye's input doesn't really make too much of an impact within the whole song. It is really Rihanna who makes it decent.

Going to get VERY hard for me, as i genuinely really like them all..

'Otis' for me though now~ (poor 'Watch the Throne' but it just isn't a Kanye Klassic).

NIP please, such an awful song

Posted by: Noahspike 24th March 2015, 08:59 PM

That's a good point actually. I love 'FourFiveSeconds' but it's all about Rihanna for me as well so voting for another Kanye single to leave over it seems wrong.

*Votes*

Homecoming. Never warmed to it, Graduation is home to his weakest run of singles for me.

Posted by: Dobbo 24th March 2015, 09:25 PM

All these Watch The Throne tracks biting the dust yet Otis & NIP remain? Mystifying...

Posted by: Apricot 24th March 2015, 09:30 PM

Otis for me

Posted by: Chez Wombat 24th March 2015, 09:38 PM

Yeah, Otis please. Dreadful racket much like H.A.M, I only liked Who's Gonna Stop Me and No Church in the Wild from The Throne era.

Posted by: Davidson 24th March 2015, 09:45 PM

Honestly never realised the Watch The Throne album wasn't really massively liked.

I have always loved it and thought some of it sounded exactly how I wanted a follow up for MBDTF to sound like. I think most of the tracks apart from 'Lift Off', 'New Day' & maybe 'Welcome To The Jungle' are incredibly strong. Shocked to see so much dislike for the singles (especially the incredible NIP).

Posted by: Jonjo 24th March 2015, 09:49 PM

'Homecoming' for me. Really can't stand it/Chris at all!

'Stronger'... I'M COMING FOR YOU NEXT!

Diamonds From Sierra Leone.

I wanna vote FourFiveSeconds soon because while I like it, I would consider it Rihanna.

Posted by: Iz~ 25th March 2015, 12:05 AM

Otis again. Which is a shame because some of his best singles have come from The Throne, but they're only really NIP and No Church, the rest are inessential at best and Otis is perhaps the worst.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 25th March 2015, 02:42 AM

"No Church In The Wild".

going Good Life this time, only one left that never really did much for me.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 25th March 2015, 12:18 PM

Otis is a jam, shouldn't be going out this early!

Posted by: ¡bré! 25th March 2015, 01:15 PM

'Niggas In Paris' is one of his absolute best (possibly my 2nd favourite after 'Runaway'!) I could understand people getting a bit sick of it after hearing it too much (as I think someone mentioned in another one of these threads) but I don't think it'll ever get old for me. 'No Church In The Wild' is excellent as well but the rest of the singles from that album are a bit below his standard so not really surprised to see them dropping like flies.

Posted by: RobinJuanPersie 25th March 2015, 06:27 PM

I love 'Otis'. Shame it's looking like it's going to go so early.

Posted by: Cremey 25th March 2015, 07:41 PM

Impossible :'(

Went for 'Touch the Sky'. 'Otis' can't leave already!

Posted by: HausofKendrick 27th March 2015, 09:37 PM

A tie between FourFiveSeconds and Otis (o )(o )

More votes please!

Posted by: Davidson 28th March 2015, 01:44 PM

Will be closing at some point today. The tie still stands so last minute votes would be appreciated!

Posted by: Rabbit Froot 28th March 2015, 02:01 PM

FFS, even though I love the song, it's not really a Kanye song in the sense that the others are ie Rihanna sings most of it.

Posted by: HausofKendrick 28th March 2015, 06:42 PM

This is now CLOSED.

Another double elimination and the next round coming up shortly~
