Top Five Things Ingredients in a Kanye Song

In light of the disappointment of Cruel Summer and the possibly upcoming Cruel Winter, I've cobbled together a template for a successful Yeezy joint, in case he actually wants to capitalize on his mogul aspirations:

5. OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED: Chorus via Frank Ocean, Dwele, T-Pain, Mr Hudson, John Legend, Rihanna, etc.  Weirdly, apparently not Beyonce

4. Verse from somebody brasher/rawer i.e. Ross, Jeezy, Cam

3.  Verse from somebody smarter/smoother i.e. Pusha, Jay, TI, Freddie fucking Gibbs already.

2. Militant beat

1. Awesome marching band horn line

MOST IMPORTANT: No Big Sean.  No Cyhi. Cudi only on chorus duty. Fabolous borderline.  Your crew needs serious work.   NO SCRUBS, YE.
