39. “Amazing”
Kanye West
808’s & Heartbreak
G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam
Possibly the most unlikely NBA theme song in recent memory, “Amazing,” in all of its ghoulish glory eventually gives way to digitally altered sing-songy raps from a clearly emotionally disturbed Kanye West. And while we know most people wouldn’t expect any part of that album to make this list, one of ‘Ye’s most overlooked works deserves a spot whether you like it or not. Not that he cares. “I’m the only thing I’m afraid of.”
