lol Certain has a well-thought out list for everything. Simpsons episodes? though Two Words and the Common/Kanye performance are the two that stand out the most to me.

I have strong album biases, but this is my top 20 (I don't include Watch the Throne)

1. all of the lights
2. drive slow
3. all falls down
4. never let me down
5. can't tell me nothin
6. diamonds from sierra leone
7. flashing lights
8. gorgeous
9. homecoming
10. black skinhead
11. good morning
12. through the wire
13. addiction
14. amazing
15. spaceship
16. touch the sky
17. two words
18. roses
19. paranoid
20. blame game

family business and new slaves almost made the list

Sometimes I forget how many dope songs Kanye has actually made because...it's Kanye, and he's annoying as fuck so my instinct is to hate him.

Not many artists that came out within the last 10 years can boast the classics he can, if any.

I don't think anyone, established or otherwise, can match his output over 2000s.

that opening horn sample on all of the lights though >>>

5. "New Slaves"

lmao i'm a huge Jay-Z fan, but his verse on the DFSL remix just completely blanked what Kanye was trying to do with the track

I can't think of a better song than All of the Lights that better encapsulates Kanye's persona. It's a cinematic, over the top, dope as fuck piece of braggadocio talent.

My backbone been solid big guy, come at me.

All of the Lights is so good Fergies verse can't take it down from the top 5

That says a lot

That's one of my big complaints about it. Fergie is not an acceptable M.I.A. replacement.

Witty, why do we agree on so much? It's starting to scare me brah :(

I love Kanye's music but I hate myself for enjoying it because he's such a piece of shit. Motherfucker thinks he can walk on water. Plus he's a racist. Every time he loses an award it's because he's black. Not because award shows pick the wrong winner all the fucking time.

But George Bush doesn't like black people.

@Certain and whoever

I know ur into craft beer. I live right near the Blue Point brewery. It's obviously huge here. Was wondering how popular if at all it is in other areas

Certain · 08-11-2014, 06:10 PM

It's not particularly big. I doubt I could get any here, five hours away. But I've heard of it.

Mike Wrecka · 08-11-2014, 06:16 PM

That's a shame. Their summer ale is boss

Certain · 08-11-2014, 06:20 PM

@El Pancake, this might be my favorite song from this year:

It reminds me of "Hannah Hunt" in how often I've listened to it and how powerful the relatively simplistic lyrics are.

I'll keep an eye out, though I usually don't go for summer ales.

I've never been much of a beer snob, but I'm painfully coming to the realization that I'm becoming a coffee snob. Yesterday I caught myself saying "I don't drink Starbucks - I use a moka pot." Goddamnit.

Certain · 08-11-2014, 06:32 PM

I'm not a beer snob. I had five Yuenglings yesterday while out with friends. I am a beer appreciator.

Mike Wrecka · 08-11-2014, 06:34 PM

I have really just gotten into the craft beers

Enjoying trying new ones. I have had a few Kona blondes from Hawaii. I will admit I thought of oats each time

PancakeBrah · 08-11-2014, 06:57 PM

im not a beer snob

i take bottles of jack to the face until i write something sad
