Kanye West’s “Stronger” (2007) is a daring fusion of hip-hop and electronic music that helped bring EDM influences into rap. Sampling Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” the track features Kanye delivering confident rhymes about resilience and improvement (“that don’t kill me can only make me stronger”) over a pulsating synth beat. “Stronger” topped the Hot 100 and became an anthem of determination. Its futuristic sound and slick music video not only earned Kanye a Grammy, but also signaled a shift in hip-hop production, as his willingness to experiment created one of the decade’s most defining hits.
