Forever In My Top 10


These are, in my opinion, some of the greatest songs ever. I could've easily posted multiple songs under the same artists, but instead of a post being just about Kanye West, I decided only one from each.

Tearz - Wu Tang Clan

How can you not respect Wu Tang.

Prayer Of The Refugee - Rise Against

The chorus gets me every time, "Don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground!"

Cleaning Out My Closet - Eminem

First time I heard this im pretty sure my jaw went to China and I listened to it over and over.

Dance With The Devil - Immortal Technique

This song has always been intense, one of the most memorable moments in my life was when I saw him perform it live and then breakdown and just talk to the crowd as a person, just a normal human like everyone else.

The Cool - Lupe Fiasco

One of the most poetic songs ever, the images that come out of his words are incomparable.

Simple Man - Shinedown

Nothing to say, how can you. The only thing that can be said is that this is the greatest most powerful song ever.

Swim Good - Frank Ocean

Very new song, but instant classic

When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

Very old song, but still a classic

Wheeles - Foo Fighters

For some reason this song just resonates with me, can't really say why.

Hey Mama - Kanye West

And summing it up with the greatest song ever, by the greatest artist ever. I know people will contest me but Kanye has always been my favorite and will always be my favorite, ask anyone who knows me and they know that I love Kanye.

Anti War Music


Pretty self explanatory, anti-war music, there has been a lot of it especially recently and these are some of my favorites.

Camilo - State Radio

Oh my country won't you call out
Doorbells are ringing with boxes of bones
And from another land's war torn corners
To a prison cell in my own
Punish me for not taking your orders
But don't lock me up for not leavin' my home

Hero Of War - Rise Against

A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust

Bin Laden - Immortal Technique ft Mos Def & Eminem

They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
Cuz if another country invaded the hood tonight
It'd be warfare through Harlem, and Washington Heights
I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the south, my n****
I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my n****
