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'm just sayin' I was talkin' to the girls, you know
And we don't put enough emphasis on the ladies sometime
You know, I was talkin' to this girl
She was talkin' about the music all fast in the club, you know
She gotta drink water 'cause she thirsty
She done danced like 92 hundred songs back to back
With ain't nobody really, you know really try to find out what she feelin'
(Are you gonna be?) Check it out, this is what she said
(Say that you're gonna be) Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross
A little Anita will definitely set this party off right
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be
Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, well, well, well, well)
She said she want some Ready for the World, some New Edition
Some Minnie Ripperton will definitely set this party off right
Yes it will, it definitely will
You know what I told her?
I told her to drive over in yo' new whip
Bring some friends you cool with
I'ma bring the cool whip, then I want you to strip
See you is my new chick, so we get our grind on
She be grabbin', calling me Biggie like Shyne home
Man I swear she fine homes (back in the day)
Why she always lying though?
Tellin' me them diamonds (back in the day)
When she know they rhinestones
She's got a light-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
Got a dark-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
I played Ready for the World, she was ready for some action
My dog said you ain't no freak
So you 'bout to prove my man wrong
I'ma play this Vandross, you gon' take yo pants off
I'ma play this Gladys Knight, me and you gon' get right
She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross
A little Anita will definitely set this party off right

Now, now Kanye, I know I told you to slow it down, baby
And it's good, it's all good, it's beautiful, it's beautiful
But now, I need you to do it faster, baby
Can you please? Do it faster baby, do it faster
Damn, baby, I can't do it that fast
But I know somebody who can, Twista
Got you looking at the glist on my hands and wrist
While I'm laying back smoking on my cannabis
When it come to rocking the rhythm like Marvin and Luther
I can tell you ain't no messin' with Kan man and Twist
In the Chi and I be sipping Hennessy, play some R&B
While I smoke a b, you can preferably find that I'm a G
And all this (well, well, well, well)
Come with me and sip on some Evelyn Champagne
You ain't know Twista could work it like The Whispers?
Hit the stop light, move it to some Isleys
Rims still moving so I bump a lil' Spinners
While I'm smoking on a b dipping through the streets
Bumpin' R&B and I got the heat on the 23's
And I do it (well, well, well, well)
With my Earth in the Wind smoking Fire
Let me get ya sheets wet listenin' to Keith Sweat
Put you in a daze wit Maze
Fulfilling our every temptation, slow jammin' havin' deep sex
You ready for the world, girl, come on go wit me
I touch you all over your body, baby, don't say no to me
And every moment controlling me
I'm lovin' the way you be holdin' me when I be listening to Jodeci
And when I come over and bend ya ass
You be bumping Teddy Pendergrass
I done hit it from the back to the melody and rode it slow
Now I got to go up in it fast, but I'ma finish last
No matter how much of a thug you see
I still spit it like it's R&B, come to the club with me
And when some Luther come on I hope you feelin' me
And still will be in love wit me, Chi ride
She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross
A little Anita will definitely set this party off right
(Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be
Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, well, well, well, well)
She said she want some Ready for the World, some New Edition
Some Minnie Ripperton will definitely set this party off right
Yes it will
Oh, yes it will
Sly and the Family Stone (Sly and the Family Stone)
Let's get the party on (Let's get the party on)
Sly and the Family Stone (Sly and the Family Stone)
Let's get our party on (Let's get our party on)

Let's really set, let's really set this party off
She said she want some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross

FlameTorch87
This is top ten sample beats ever made.
2000-2003 was the last three year gap that EVERY genre of music was on fire! From gospel, hip hop, rap, rnb, country, light and hard rock, latin, kids( disney, nick, ect music ), jazz, uk... All of em.
Spice girls, Brittney Sprears, Backstreet Boys, Nsync, Janet Jackson, Micheal Jackson, Whiney Houston, Mary J Blige, Mob Deep, 50 cent, IMX, Twista, Lil Jon, TI, Eminem, Luda... Ect.
Slow Jams put Jamie Foxx on the map. Even though Foxx was known as a singer in the 90s... Slow Jams is what blew him up.
R. Kelly had allegations with underaged girls. The Chocolate Factory/Ignition was so good, it made us forget the allegations. Ignition was so fire, that at one time, it legitimately had petions going around the world to make that song the new national anthem!
As far as hiphop/rnb and rap:
80s was the beginning
90s was the golden age
Early 2000s was the peak!
87 born... Glad my teens was early 2000s. Great times... Excellent Music.
Tupac said it best:
" I'd love to go back to when we played as kids, but things changes... That's the way it is. "
