Kanye West

Producer: Kanye West

Lyrics from Snippet

[Intro: Lauryn Hill]
Yo, yo, yo
My men and my women
Yeah, yeah, yo
Incoming
My men and my women

[Kanye West]
You need somethin' unexpected, some form of weapon
You ask Him to feel protected, and still feel protected
Just one time for the record, just one time for the record
Don't agree with the message
Don't agree with the methods

[Kanye West]
Don't let them rest till you're layin’ at night, let the-
When the light comes on, when's the last time you let them know?

Lyrics from Snippet #2

[Kanye West]
Some things you don't have to know
So small, you laugh 'em all
Some things you don't have to know

The ubiquitous Kanye West—from his famous quip, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” to “I'ma let you finish,” to marrying Kim Kardashian, to announcing that he’s running for President, and admitting his love for President Trump—you can see that he’s a staple of the tabloids and the entertainment world, industry-wide.

That certainly doesn’t take anything away from his music; as a matter of fact, it only seems to add to his fortuitous career. For instance, his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was universally praised by fans and critics alike; it was recorded during the backlash he received from the Swift interruption and during his break-up with then-girlfriend Amber Rose.

He has scored other well-known hits, as well, from each of his previous studio albums—such as “Stronger,” “Heartless,” and “Gold Digger.” Each of his albums has been massive critical and commercial successes, including his collaboration album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne. As of 2020, West has won an astounding 21 Grammys, tied with JAY-Z as the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.
