18. “Breathe In, Breathe Out”
Kanye West
College Dropout
Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam
We’re still getting over the disappointment of Ludacris not having a verse on this song, but Kanye’s efforts being ranked in the top 20 on this list should tell you that our tears have since dried. Mixing the ignorant temptations of being the hottest rap star in the game with the guilty conscience that comes with it, “I gotta apologize to Mos and Kweli/Is it cool, to rap about gold if I told the world I copped it from Ghana and Mali?” and that uncanny Kanye comedy, “Even though I went to college and dropped out of school quick/I always had a Ph.D, a pretty huge d*ck,” we’re pretty sure Kanye left nothing to be desired at this 18 spot. Any objections?
