Seth Rogen and Kanye West have found themselves connected often in the past six months. In November of last year, Rogen and James Franco created a parody of West's video for "Bound 2." The sketch so impressed West that he asked the pair of actors to perform at his forthcoming wedding to Kim Kardashian. (Rogen turned him down.) But this was not the first time Rogen had encountered West; their relationship goes back to 2005, when Rogen says he met the rap star while making "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." (West apparently worked out with a trainer who lived near Rogen.) Which is all prelude to this: Because Rogen and West are a thing that people on the Internet enjoy, we asked the "Neighbors" star to reveal his top three Kanye West tracks. Put on the spot, these are the songs he came up with.

"Runaway"

"Black Skinhead"

"Through the Wire"
