11. The New Workout Plan (The College Dropout)
Best Line: "Excuse me Miss, I forgot your name, thank you, god bless you, good night, I came" This may be Kanye at his most sexist, which is an admittedly impressive feat, insisting that the only way women can move up in the world is by being fit and attractive gold diggers. Now that disclaimer is out of the way, The New Workout Plan is a great song with a propulsive beat and stupidly funny (and only kind of rhyming) lines like, "ooh girl your breath is harsh, cover your mouth up you got Sars" and, "All those mocha lattes, you gotta do Pilates." It is too knowingly dumb to be mean-spirited, there's no subtlety or depth to this song it's just a fun dance track. While it doesn't have the stylistic vigor that his absolute best songs have, The New Workout Plan is a fun song that shows that Kanye doesn't always take himself too seriously.
