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.

Shorty gettin' it in with me, yeah
She said I brought some friends for me but I don't know why
Because they ain't gettin' in with me, uh-uh
Shorty gettin' it in with me, uh huh
Shorty gettin' it in with me, yeah
She said I brought some friends for me but I don't know why
Yo, you know me I'm with the ghetto diva, stiletto fever
Jello shots, yellow reefer
Same rules apply, I'm back on top,
You can't drink or smoke if you not gon' pop
See me in the popcorn drop, not gon' stop
Takin' shots of Patron, gettin' top on yachts
The medallions are mountin' rock on rock
The whole world want to know when this lock gon' drop
Without a doubt she acknowledge the wealth
Since she ain't get brains I told her, let me get knowledge yourself
I told be proud of yourself and dig deep,
And try and see what you can get out of yourself
After all that, I told her to fall back
The Ferrari truck parked in the back is all black
Next time, bring some friends and more 'gnac
It depends how I feel in the morn if I call back, what
Shorty gettin' it in with me, uh huh
Shorty gettin' it in with me, yeah
She said I brought some friends for me but I don't know why
Because they ain't gettin' in with me, uh-uh
Shorty gettin' it in with me, uh huh

She said I brought some friends for me but I don't know why
Because they ain't gettin' in with me, uh-uh
I'm with this bad Ethiopian chick drinkin' straight up liqueur
I told her I'm Nigerian that's straight up nigga
Now is it just me or do them Uggs have girls feet lookin' like sheepskin rugs
Some rhyme with a name, some rhyme nameless
Don't try an treat me like I ain't famous
My apologies are you into astrology 'cause, um, I'm trying to make it to Uranus
See that's a little Don Juan game,
All across your chest like Sean Jean name
Niggas tryin' to figure out, since kan' came
Who's the rookie of the year, me or Lebron James
They say whoa, don't get caught up in the hype
Ain't no tellin' they gon' love you after tonight
Well if tonight's the night, pop bottles fuck models
Spend money til your broke, my nigga live your life
Shorty gettin' it in with me, uh huh

Shorty getting it in with me, 600 Benz with me
She want to spend with me
She see me roll up the bud, then thug out the club
'Cause I got my men's with me
She said she leaving her friends for me, they ain't gettin' in with her
'Cause she goin' bend for me
Her tongue spin like a rim for me, do what she can for me
Look like a 10 for me
Now shorty is out with me using her mouth for me
She looking out for me,
She said 'kiss where you live, I said you see the bridge
When you step on the balcony
