21. Jay-Z f/ Kid Cudi “Already Home” (2009)
Album: The Blueprint III
11 Already Home (feat. Kid Cudi)
Though Kanye certainly went through a soul phase earlier in his career, he shows throughout his more recent phases that he can bring it back whenever he wants, which makes sense for a song in which Jay-Z talks about being able to come back to the game whenever he wants (but also, that he’s half-man half-mammal).
The sample is not actually from a soul song, it’s a reggae track called “Mad Mad Ivy” by Gladstone Anderson, but the sounds he took are certainly reminiscent of what he’s done previously with soul samples. It seems at this point that reggae samples have actually proven to be the most versatile for Kanye tracks, they seem to be able to inspire sounds from other genres.

Even though he sold it, “We Gone Make It” by Jadakiss should’ve been on the list
Alchemist made we gone make it.
pretty sure DJ Toomp made “Cant Tell Me Nothing”… it was originally a Jeezy song, whikch is why the ad-lib is there… thats bad, since you have it as his #1 beat… I could be wrong though
The song was produced by kanye AND dj toomp. plus kanye always has a bunch of people do additional vocals and what have you. that does not mean the song was originally for them. he could have had dj toomp take off the ad-libs if he really didnt want it there.
“Live Fast, Die Young” should have made top 5, and it’s not even on the list.
This list must of been made by a 15 year old hipster
