Hii and welcome to a new feature in the Urban Forum hosted by Davidson and I. Over the next few weeks, we'll be relistening to, picking apart and rejecting our least favourite Kanye West singles. It's a near impossible job, but someone has to do it.

A mammoth discography, so to contain it a little, i have only included singles where Kanye West is credited as the lead artist. I have also only used those singles that have had an official release in the UK (and we have a nice round 30 this way). Yes that means the likes of 'Monster' have not been included, but as it wasn't released in the UK it had to be done sad.gif Depending on the voting numbers, we may have to cull a couple in the first few rounds especially if there are ties. *prays i haven't missed anything else that should be here*

So enough chatter, let's get voting and commenting. What is your least favourite Yeezy single?

1st deadline: Sunday 15th~

So i have no idea ALREADY.

Think i'm going for 'Lift Off' to start. Will probably be targeting a few of the 'Watch the Throne' singles initially actually. Nothing against them, but i have such strong connections with practically all of the ones off the solo studio albums so it's only natural.

Good to see this again. I'm not sure if it will be too similar at the top end (though 'All of the Lights' i expect will do very well here too), but i think, and hope, this is a good indication to what is likely to drop out first.

'Heard 'Em Say' is my least favourite single off the solo albums, so if that can go soon i will not be fussed.

I'm no huge Kanye fan and I admit to not hearing about 10 of these but...
LIFT OFF?!? It's glorious!


Also, no Monster sad.gif That really is a fantastic rap track.

Ooh, will be interesting to see how this turns out.

'Slow Jamz' is an easy first pick for me but looking through that singles discography, I can tell it's gonna get tough fast. blink.gif

This is going to get so hard when we really get down to it, dreading it already.

'Heard 'Em Say' for me is my early pick. So uneventful for a Kanye song. Didn't think 'Slow Jamz' would stick about too long but doesn't strike me as being worthy of first to go, even if it is a bit forgotten.

Very unpopular opinion but Niggas In Paris. The amount I had to endure that in clubs became too much to bear...

Going with H.A.M as it's utterly dire in every way, Paris is terrible too, No Church In The Wild was the only one I really liked from the Throne era.

He's very hit and miss in general for me, but he does have some gems.

This won't be too hard to vote in for me because I'll probably be the only person voting for 'Stronger' until at least the top 10, seeing as I seem to be alone in disliking that song! I mean it isn't THAT bad but 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' really just shouldn't be touched, even by Yeezus.

The only other notably weak-ish links here are 'Why I Love You' and 'Lift Off' (both among the weaker tracks on 'Watch The Throne'), I'm not sure I could bring myself to vote for any of the others in the context of 'least favourite' ohmy.gif

It really is so dark and twisted making me choose like this :'(
Was thinking it would be impossible but then I saw Lift Off. Probably my least favourite song in Kanye's entire discography.
Once that goes it'll be impossible though!

Also...votes for H.A.M.?! One of my faaaves.

So much quality ohmy.gif Sort of surprised I know all the songs as I still haven't listened to Late Registration or Graduation; one day!

But vote goes to Why I Love You. Never liked the Cassius song and it was not fun to hear it sampled in that.

I shall be joining you in the vote for 'Stronger' very shortly! But first 'Heard 'Em Say' has to go.

Nooo at people voting for 'Slow Jamz'/anything from his first era though sad.gif (although 'Workout Plan' would have easily got my first vote puke.gif)

Where are "Amazing" and "Paranoid"? Surely they were singles as well?
