West's second and third studio albums, Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007), both debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, with the latter becoming his most commercially successful to date. Three of his subsequent albums—808s & Heartbreak (2008), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), and The Life of Pablo (2016)—were certified triple platinum, while Yeezus (2013) was certified double platinum. Although not as well-received critically as his previous works, Ye (2018), Jesus Is King (2019), and Donda (2021) continued West's streak of consecutive number-one debuts on the Billboard 200. West has also released collaborative albums including Watch the Throne (2011) with Jay-Z, Kids See Ghosts (2018) with Kid Cudi, and Vultures 1 and Vultures 2 (2024) with Ty Dolla Sign. In fashion design, he has collaborated with Nike, Inc., Louis Vuitton, and Gap Inc. on clothing and footwear, and led the Yeezy collaboration with Adidas.
One of the world's best-selling music artists with 160 million records sold, West has won 24 Grammy Awards, the joint 11th-most of all time and the most awarded for any hip hop artist along with Jay-Z. His other accolades include a Billboard Artist Achievement Award, a joint-record three Brit Awards for Best International Male Solo Artist, and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. West holds the joint record with Bob Dylan for most albums (four) topping the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll. Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2005 and 2015. West's first six solo albums were included on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list in 2020, with the same publication naming him one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.
West's outspoken views have received significant media coverage. He has been a frequent source of controversy due to his conduct on social media, at award shows, and in public settings, as well as his comments on the music and fashion industries, U.S. politics, race, and slavery. His Christian faith, high-profile marriage to Kim Kardashian, and mental health have also been topics of media attention. In 2020, West launched an unsuccessful independent presidential campaign that advocated for a consistent life ethic. In October 2022, he was widely condemned and lost many sponsors and partnerships, including his collaborations with Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga, after making a series of antisemitic statements, including denying the Holocaust.

Turned to a monster, won't let it go to a-
Phantom of the opera, it goes where it goes
My nightmares still haunt me (Dream)
When I sleep, they haunt me
When I sleep, they haunt me (O oh)
And my nightmares, they haunt me (Ooh ooh)
But I won't let 'em get the best of me (yeah)
Alien, magical, flyin', and all
Being, I got her signed on
Beam me up, I'm 'bout to sign off
Dumber now, need to take time off
Dumber now, I don't believe the time
Should have gone, man, I believe they lyin'
(Get a mic, huh)
Sign, do you believe in science?
Bigger sign, bet they gon' bleed now
Aliens, double to sign off
Better time, 'bout to take time off
I don't believe in time
I just believe in science
Order a bleeding nine, tell her
"Don't leave tonight"
Alien, being 'bout to fly out took her out
Order her something with eyes out
They was done, we the one, we just on
Louis thong, Lebanon, we become
What they done?
Duh na na, duh, feel it, feel it, feel it
This ain't our planet, that's why I kill it
Kill it, animals, kill it, ozone, kill it
Blood, spill it, somethin' you deal with
Alien, took the time off
I just took time off
Fly up, a pyramid, dunked on, Vesuvius
No bro, serious, I'm dead serious
I'm dead serious, I'm dead serious
Alien, period, she on her period
She gonna come here yet, something
Then we get
Closer, better yet, na na, duh na na
Alien, takeoff, I took time off
I don't believe in time
I just believe in science
I've just been feeling nine
We gon' just leave at nine
Christian calendar, some-some calendar
Airplane, challenge us
Happen to challenge her
Said, "It blow up, " Michael Moore said
"Know what? Ain't nobody die!"
Alex Jones said the same shit and fried
Oh shit! Alien, pyramid, fly off, take off
Break off, Kit Kat, take off, wake up
Make off, they go, say go, get makeov'
You let go in Waco, Texas
Pull up, err-err, 'Lexus
Flex this, bless this, genesis, precious
Message, message, bless it
Don't stress it, don't stress shit
Don't test it, don't test this
Don't touch this, man they Hammer time
On the dotted line, on the camera time
When it's out of line and they meant it right
Done it down to nine, on the dotted line
Want a better line and I'm feeling right
Kill the feeling, right
Oh and I made it rhyme
'Cause I met a time and you're out of time
And you wear the line and he out of line
But he set it off, on the Adderall
When they got it all, set it off y'all
Alien, takeoff, monster
The lyrics of "Alien / SpaceX" by Kanye West, Ant Clemons, and Kid Cudi delve into the theme of feeling disconnected from the world and struggling with internal demons. Kanye begins by asserting his determination to stay calm and not let his inner monster take control. He compares himself to the Phantom of the Opera, emphasizing that his struggles and nightmares continue to haunt him even in his sleep. However, he refuses to let them overpower him.
The chorus of the song introduces the concept of feeling like an alien or outsider. Kanye describes himself as magical, flying, and different from the norm. He mentions signing off and taking time off, possibly suggesting a need for introspection and escape from the pressures of life. He questions the concept of time and expresses a belief in science rather than relying on conventional notions. The lyrics also touch on the idea of bleeding and the destructive nature of humanity, referring to killing animals, damaging the ozone, and spilling blood.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of defiance and rebellion against societal norms. Kanye expresses a desire to challenge and question established beliefs, mentioning individuals like Michael Moore and Alex Jones who have made controversial statements but remain unscathed. He references the Waco incident and asserts his own freedom of expression and creativity, declaring that he will not be constrained or silenced.
Overall, "Alien / SpaceX" speaks to Kanye West's struggle with his inner demons, his desire to break free from societal expectations, and his unapologetic pursuit of artistic expression and individuality.

On the dotted line, on the camera time
Formally agreeing, it's time for the camera to roll
When it's out of line and they meant it right
When it deviates from the norm, yet they intended it to be that way
Done it down to nine, on the dotted line
Reduced it to nine, on the formal agreement
Want a better line and I'm feeling right
Desiring a superior verse and I'm feeling confident
Kill the feeling, right
Suppress the emotion, right
Oh and I made it rhyme
Oh, and I made it rhyme
'Cause I met a time and you're out of time
Because I encountered a moment and you are running out of time
And you wear the line and he out of line
And you embrace the verse and he is deviating from the norm
But he set it off, on the Adderall
But he ignited it, on the Adderall
When they got it all, set it off y'all
When they have everything, let it commence, everyone
Alien, takeoff, monster
Extraterrestrial, departure, monstrous
