13. Good Life (Graduation)
Best Line: "Have you ever popped champagne on a plane while getting some brain? Whipped it out, she said she never seen snakes on a plane" In God's green Earth there are few things more majestic than the words "Featuring T-Pain." Listen, Good Life represents everything people say they hate about Kanye West: chauvinism, pomposity, glorification of wealth, auto-tuning, but Good Life bowls you over with its catchy hooks, powerful beats, and fun attitude. And if you truly think that Kanye isn't self-aware then listen to the lyrics in this song, which in retrospect sound like Captain Kirk cheating the Kobayashi Maru, a cocky jerk who knows that he beat the system because he's playing a different game than everyone else. Yeah, that's a Star Trek reference that tries to justify Kanye's bad behavior, but "If they hate then let them hate and watch the money pile up."
