hello pulsers, following the release of the netflix documentary jeen-yuhs, as well as 2021's Donda being his most successful album in years, i figured now is as good a time as ever to host a Kanye West rankdown. previously we have ranked all of Kanye's singles in this rankdown (although based off the outdated participant list a re-do is probably necessary), so this time around we'll be ranking a selection of 35 of his non-singles/album tracks. as for the songs selected, i've excluded 'Come to Life' as it was in my recent personal rankdown + march madness, no songs from Watch the Throne are included since the highlights from that album were ranked in the original Kanye rd, and no songs from Jesus is King are included because they suck. here are the songs we will be ranking: We Don't Care Spaceship Never Let Me Down Two Words Family Business Roses We Major Hey Mama Gone Good Morning Champion I Wonder Everything I Am Welcome to Heartbreak Street Lights Coldest Winter Dark Fantasy Gorgeous Devil in a New Dress Lost in the World On Sight New Slaves Hold My Liquor Blood on the Leaves Guilt Trip Ultralight Beam Wolves No More Parties in LA Saint deleted Ghost Town Violent Crimes 4th Dimension Cudi Montage Moon No Child Left Behind to participate: - pm me your ranking of this list, with #1 being your favourite song & #35 being your least favourite - send me your list within the deadline, which is currently June 13th

I've been spending time making playlists with a variety of artists as well as participating in rankdowns with 1 song per artist. But a rankdown with nothing but Kanye West and Kanye guests? Count me in.
While I haven't listened to his most recent albums, I did listen to songs several years ago from his earlier albums from The College Dropout to Yeezus.

35. No Child Left Behind (ft. Vory)
score: 331 avg: 27.6 sd: 7.76 from: Donda
rankings
jtd Thee Stallion 12 born 17 filthy 21 singingrulebritannia 25 matteeeb 26 Mayman 27 MoD 30 @nevada 33 aerodynamite 35 BB🌕 35 zippy 35 willapted33 35
this was the only song i had trouble choosing, since many highlights from Donda (Off the Grid, Hurricane, Believe What I Say & Life of the Party) were singles in one way or another, & i felt the album deserved a 2nd song here finished where i expected, & i'm obviously cool with that placement

I'm kind of shocked Violent Crimes is already out. I wasn't expecting top 10 or anything but I thought it was more loved.

I'm not surprised that No Child Left Behind came in last place. The song feels incomplete compared to the other short songs from this selection. Also, Violent Crimes is one of the songs that attracted criticism from music critics, although I didn't take that into account when ranking it.
And I can certainly agree with Guilt Trip being an underrated song. I remember Yeezus for its harsher-sounding production than Ye's previous albums, but Guilt Trip appeals more to my music tastes than other songs from that album.

I like most of these songs but the songs out so far make sense, Moon is the 2nd best song on Donda and it isnt even top 20 here for me looool
