The 45 Greatest Songs of All Time That Sparked A Cultural Reset
Runaway, Kanye West feat. Pusha T, 2010, Progressive rap
Kanye West is often a subject of controversy and criticism, with his life being open to the public eye most time. Yet, his rift with Taylor Swift during the 2009 VMAs marked a significant downtime for his career, and it was at this time that his most-praised song was born.
He wrote “Runaway” to express his thoughts on his failed relationships and reputation, including his acceptance of the world’s perception of him. It featured Pusha T, whom he also signed under his record label. Its release in 2010 received positive reviews, often praising its sincerity, openness, and technicality. It became West’s best-reviewed single and marked his comeback to mainstream media.
