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.

I mean you probably might be saying you ain't jockin? either
But man, o girl got a fat old ass

And fuck them other niggas cause you down for her be!tches
Fuck them other niggas cause she down for the stickin?
And fuck them other niggas hope she down for some lickin?

Hold up, born in 88′
How old is that? Old enough
I got seniority with the sorority
So, that explain why I love college
Gettin? brain in the library cause I love knowledge
When you use your Medulla Oblongata
And give me scoliosis until I comatoses
And do it while I sleep yeah a little osmosis
And that?s my commitment you ain?t gotta ask Moses
More champagne more toast?es
More damn planes, more coast?es
And fuck a bus, the Benz is parked like Rosa?

Common
She said she want whatever she like
But she gotta bring your friend
We could have a hell of a night, through the day
She blamed it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
She had her hair did, it was bound to fall
Down, down for a damn, Cudi already said it
A poker face book I already read it
But man, her head was gooder than the music
Electro body known to blow fuses
A stripper from the south lookin for a payday
Said bitch you should do it for the love like Ray Jay
But they say you be on that conscious tip
Get your hair right and get up on this conscious dick
I embody everything from the Gali to the party
Its the way I was raised on the south side safari, so

The song lyrics of Make Her Say have various interpretations. Still, the most common interpretation is about sexual desires and objectification of women. Kanye, Kid Cudi, and Common talk about the different ways they can have sexual interactions with women, particularly through the use of drugs or alcohol. The line "She wanna have whatever she likes/ She can if she bring her friend" implies that the men are willing to fulfill any sexual desires of women as long as they bring their friends along.
Furthermore, the chorus line "P-p-p-poker face/ P-p-poke her face" is a play on the Lady Gaga hit "Poker Face." Instead of referring to the game of poker, it refers to sexual activities. The line "I make her say" emphasizes the sexual dominance the men have over women in the song. Even though the song's lyrics are problematic, the music video shows a group of people playing poker, trying to guess what the women have on their faces, not realizing their faces are covered in playing cards.
Overall, Make Her Say is a song about objectifying women and fulfilling sexual desires. While it is essential to consider the song's sexually explicit content, it is also vital to think about the problematic way women are portrayed in the song.

Probably the most underrated trio of all fucking time. They could've dropped some shit together to affect the industry in a way no one else would even get close to.
@dcruznba785
Yeah, but I'm talking a project by all three. You're right though, Be was a fantastic album and Cudi has good songs with Ye as well, Erase Me, Gorgeous, etc.
