"Christmas in Harlem," Kanye West, Cyhi Da Prynce, Teyana Taylor (Roc-A-Fella)

A gang-rap for the 2010 holiday led by the King Of All Media, Mr. Ima-Let-You-Finish himself, in which the holiday plays out in that Manhattan neighborhood still considered by many flyover-country folk to be a hotbed of poverty. In reality, it's been gentrifying for a long time now, which is why this song doesn't touch on anything to do with deprivation -- it's just home to these folks. If this were Conor Oberst and his friends, it would be "Christmas in Omaha," but it's Kanye and his posse, so it's set in a majority-minority neighborhood. Not bad at all.
