With Thursday being Kanye West's 40th birthday, we're celebrating the big day with some of our favorite songs from his massive catalog.

From College Dropout to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to his Jay Z collaborative album Watch The Throne and most recently Yeezus and The Life of Pablo, there's no shortage of Ye material. And it's hard to pick just 40 tracks.

We originally shared a smaller version of this playlist in 2014 for West's 37th birthday, but especially with word we may be getting new music sometime soon, it seems like a great time to revisit some of his standouts.

Hear the playlist below, via Spotify.
