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.
Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2
Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up in the morning, miss you bad
Sorry I ain't called you back
Same problem my father had
All his time, all he had, all he had
In what he dreamed
All his cash, market crashed
Hurt him bad, people get divorced for that
Momma pass in Hollywood
If you ask, lost my soul
Driving fast, lost control
Off the road, jaw was broke
'Member we all was broke
'Member I'm coming back
I'll be taking all the stacks
I got broads in Atlanta
Twisting dope, lean, and the Fanta
Credit cards and the scammers
Hitting off licks in the bando
Black X6, Phantom
White X6 looks like a panda
Going out like I'm Montana
Hundred killers, hundred hammers
Black X6, Phantom
White X6, panda
Pockets swole, Danny
Selling bar, candy
Man I'm the macho like Randy
The choppa go Oscar for Grammy
Bitch nigga, pull up ya panty
Hope you killas understand me
I just want to feel liberated, I, I, I
I just want to feel liberated, I, I, I
Taking all the stacks, oh
I got broads in Atlanta
Twist the dope, lean and shit, sippin' Fanta
Credit cards and the scammers
Wake up Versace, shit life Desiigner
Whole bunch of lavish shit
They be asking round town who be clappin shit
I be pullin up stuff in the Phantom ship
I got plenty of stuff of Bugatti, whip look how I try this shit
Black X6, Phantom
White X6, killing on camera
How can I find you?
Who do you turn to?
How do I bind you?
If I don't turn to you
No other help I know, I stretch my hands
In “Pt. 2” Kanye West reminisces on his relationship with his late mother and father, touching upon the lessons he learned from them, the difficulties they faced, and his own feelings of loss and disorientation. The song begins with the phrase “I told you” repeated three times, indicating regret or unease possibly at a missed opportunity to connect or communicate. Kanye expresses his sadness and apology for not calling back as he misses the person he addressed in these lines. He makes analogies between himself and his father who had devoted his time and dreams to making something of himself but had lost everything in a market crash. His mother’s death also had a significant impact on Kanye. To cope with mental distress and loss, he turned to drugs and material possessions, as described in the second verse mentioning Atlanta, “broad(s)”, “dope”, “lean” and “Fanta”. He creates an image of excess and rebellion through various illegal activities or associations, and is seen as a “maverick” or “outlaw” persona in society.
The chorus “I just want to feel liberated, I, I, I/Taking all the stacks, oh” provides insight into Kanye’s state of mind. He seeks freedom and relief from pain, longing to be released from society’s constraints or his own psychological burdens. The phrase “Taking all the stacks” could be emblematic of his desire to succeed and gain wealth at any cost, both as a source of comfort and a means of escaping painful emotions. The song ends with an expression of desperate search for help, “How can I find you? Who do you turn to?/How do I bind you?/If I don't turn to you, no other help I know, I stretch my hands,” indicating Kanye’s despair and feeling of being lost.

La primera parte del tema es fácilmente el mejor chanteo del hip hop de los últimos 10 años por que combina misiticismo del tema del álbum, con un gran estribillo , agradable al oído, que no deja de ser hip hop pero que a la vez es comercial y con una base criminal.
