[Intro: Kanye West]
Can you be? Can you be?

[Refrain: Kid Cudi]
I got that gold stuff all on my back

[Verse: Kanye West]
I caught a wave
Caught more air than super Dave
Call Aaliyah, I’m super paid
Sumfuh, sumfuh, doofaday
Just got off the flight from Budapest
Don't need Khaled to say "you the best"
You the type of nigga shop at Uni-qlo
Just found out that my father in law unisex
Running out of money, running into debt
Running from bill collectors, I ain't paid 'em yet
Shit you did with no matter how rich you get
And even more, depending on the bitch you get

[Outro]
I got to be

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.
