#3: Kanye West feat. Daft Punk - Stronger

Kanye's second single off of Graduation was the song of the summer (IMHO), Stronger. The huge beats carefully lifted from Daft Punk's classic song "Harder Better Faster Stronger" are mixed into Kanye's bombastic lyrics and they form what is a pretty remarkable mix of hip hop and electro. Kanye has shown time and time again that when he's got a big beat behind him, he's nearly unstoppable (see: "Jesus Walks"), and he proves it again here. The song feels like a mission statement - a calling out.

Plus, DP makes an appearance in the video, so that's cool.
