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.

Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting next to you
Thinking of a fantasy
Wishing it come true
Stratosphere of love
Waiting up above
Take me by the hand
Soaring to the sky
Rolling on the clouds
Dancing in the heavens
Romancing under stars
Two starry eyed lovers
Whispering sweet delights
Sharing souls forever
Touching moonlight
Hold me in your arms
Fill me with your charms
Such an endless flight
All through the night
Soaring to the sky
Rolling on the clouds
Dancing in the heavens
Romancing under stars
Embracing one another
Filling up our hearts
Turning up the passion
Yearning for the sparks
Never let me go
We can last forever
Always by my side
You and me together
Soaring to the sky
Rolling on the clouds
Dancing in the heavens
Romancing under stars
Teasing one another
Stirring up the fire
Building up the heat
Loving with desire
Playing a forty five
Sitting next to you
Thinking of a fantasy
Wishing it come true
Playing a forty five
Sitting next to you
Thinking of a fantasy
Wishing it come true...... (to fade)
The song "I Love It" by Kanye West featuring Lil Pump is a sexually explicit and provocative track that glorifies casual sex and objectifies women. The lyrics consist of crass language and controversial lines about sex and women, using derogatory terms like "ho" and "bitch." The song is essentially a celebration of sexual freedom, as expressed in the line "Hey, I wanna cum, mothafucka," which is a reference to society's past restrictions on speaking openly about sexual desires. The lyrics also reference materialism and luxury lifestyles, with mentions of expensive cars, jewelry, and plastic surgery.
The song provoked controversy upon its release due to its explicit content and negative portrayal of women. Critics argued that the song promotes misogyny and perpetuates negative stereotypes about women. However, some defended the song as a commentary on contemporary culture and its tendencies towards shallow materialism and sexual objectification.
The music video for "I Love It" includes oversized clothing resembling those worn by boxy video game characters and both artists are seen awkwardly dancing around. The visuals add to the satirical nature of the song as both artists display cartoonish movements while wearing unusual attire.

This is what is most painful...When there is still love between two people, is that one of them, decide to reject you "again" and block you in all possible communications...Like in this beautiful masterpiece...
https://youtu.be/OydK91JjFOw
The worst is when the rejection is based on a stupid misunderstanding on the one hand, and a very bad understanding on the other hand, having triggered "The damned Kraken & his cohort of demons", destroying everything...
Anger is always a bad advisor... It makes you make many mistakes, like erasing yourself, refusing him from now on, all access to your conscience, your thoughts, as he did himself, and lock yourself in a cold mutism to heal, move forward and especially protect yourself from all new venomous and painful stings... Instinctively you must protect yourself and take refuge in your citadel...
Even if you have to live with a love lockdown and a cold case love too...
https://youtu.be/eMjEyWaoNKE
To love sincerely and deeply someone and to lose him in such a brutal and violent way...It's hurt like hell...
https://youtu.be/Uil0L-0F4no
https://youtu.be/IPPTTvxojvg
And I'm still wondering how to communicate with a very complex emotional "Rubik's Cube"...
https://youtu.be/MM62wjLrgmA

Don't ask me why...
But I needed to "get it out there." 🧠

@@mamaziha79 mine was after 35 year marriage I was totally unforgivabley betrayed , not cheating but far worse for me but nothing to her ,
I was put in care at 5 , adopted at7 put back in care at 11 left care 16 joined army , met future wife at 19 still virgin, she pursued me relentlessly, I was more than hesitant .
We got together , I told her “ I will never cheat on you , never hit you , if you want me never to lie , don’t ask about my past” I kept my word , she did too.
After 30 years some thing was wrong , the dice was rolling , didn’t know what it was , said nothing , was extra vigilant , my defences were up . Then sept 2017 my wife and 2 daughters announced they had found my family , it took £ 14000 and failed cos of actions I had taken to hide . I had 2 forged id’s then 1 they knew me as,it took dna test to find my family in USA . To them this was really good they were ecstatic , to me it was end of my world which was just them.
I never asked fo it,
After 35 years in total I was out of house in 20 mins .
Left everything but clothes on my back and 1 hold-all ,I know they didn’t understand ,
I lived homeless on spare ground behind garden center , 4 years later was seen by friend of friend , they told my wife , who arrived with 2 daughters and 1st grandchild I had never met. They full of apologies and vowing never to communicate with my family again ,.
It took 4 weeks to convince me to go back with them, it was not the same , seperate bedrooms , never touched my wife , I wouldn’t even go in bathroom when she was in it,
Met my younger daughters friend from unI many time she was studying psychology. One day she was stareing at me for longest time till I said “what” , she replied “ you need some serious professional help, your head is all mashed up”.
They all went on to list odd behaviour ,like asking to use toilet every time , asking if I could make cup of tea , only ever sitting on kitchen chair in kitchen and turning it to face door, disappearing for up to three days , having an object fear of grandchild, terrible nightmares all night every night that I had no memory, many more , too many to mention, all I could say was “ something ain’t right it’s not the same ,the vibe is wrong , I’m not loving you the way I want to “ daughters friend said “ that’s love lockdown by Kanye west”
Never heard of it before so hear I am listening to it , and at last talking ,
This song could be my road back to not been crazy and scaring people
@jancarlostercero3430
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
So ya never know, never never know
Never know enough, til it's over love
Til we lose control, system overload
Screaming no no no, no no
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
See I wanna move, but can't escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else don't have to know
So keep ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Keeping ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Now keep ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Now keep ya love lockdown, you lose
I'm not loving you, way I wanted to
I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got something to lose, so I gotta move
I can't keep myself, and still keep you too
So I keep in mind, when I'm on my own
Somewhere far from home, in the danger zone
How many times did it take til I finally got through
You lose, you lose
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
See I had to go, I had to move
No more wasting time, you can't wait for life
Were just wasting time, wheres the finish line
So keep ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Keeping ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Now keep ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Now keep ya love lockdown, you lose
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
I bet no one knew, I got no one new
No I said I'm through, but got love for you
But I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it going, keep the loving going
Keep it on a roll, only god knows
If I'll be with you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
Way I wanna go, I don't need you
I been down this road, too many times before
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
So keep ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Keeping ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Now keep ya love lockdown, ya love lockdown
Now keep ya love lockdown, you lose
