A few things to note:<br /><br />-In spite of any kind of popularity they might have gotten compared to other tracks off the album (Waves in particular, which is one of the most streamed songs), Highlights and Waves are easily two of the worst five songs that Kanye has ever recorded.

I don’t care how much love he shows to his collaborators: The man is way too goddamn overrated and up his own ass (contrary to popular belief, he never needed any help getting there). Sure he’s a talented producer/musician but (in my opinion) dude never spit a rhyme worthy of recognition and I’ve pretty much tried to give all his shit a chance.
