Kanye West’s “Blood on the Leaves” vs. “Touch the Sky” – Vote for the Best Song

When it comes to hip-hop in 2016, Kanye West has been dominating the conversation. Whether it's a new album, a surprise studio collaboration, teaming up with a major brand or using Twitter as a sounding board, he continuously makes headlines for every move he makes.

Last month, Yeezy dropped his seventh solo LP, The Life of Pablo, after four title changes, edited tracklists and a seemingly endless amount of collaborators. While his road to debuting the project was quite the journey of triumphs and tribulations, the music is what matters most. To get to this point, the Chi-town MC has blessed fans with solid, standout material ranging from mixtape cuts, album singles and Grammy-winning efforts over the years.

With so many songs in this rap powerhouse's catalog, XXL is highlighting some of the best and pitting them against each other to find out which one reigns supreme according to you, the fans. Thirty-two tracks have been selected from each of his seven albums to compete.

"Touch the Sky" is another one of those Kanye classics that will never grow old. The star studded video for the Lupe Fiasco featured cut stars Nia Long, Pamela Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross. Following the visual, Evel Knievel filed a lawsuit against Kanye West for trademark infringement. The two settled just days before Evel's death after Ye' paid him a visit. "I thought he was a wonderful guy and quite a gentleman," the famed stunt man gushed. "Blood on Leaves" is one of the more popular cuts off of Yeezus. The 2013 cut unleashes a new sound from Ye. It samples Nina Simone's 1965 rendition of the hit "Strange Fruit."
