One of the world's best-selling music artists, with over 160 million records sold, West has won 24 Grammy Awards, the joint tenth-most of all time, and the joint-most Grammy awards of any rapper along with Jay-Z.

Holy Name of Mary Choral Family - He'll Give Us What We Really Need - YouTube. Sampled for Kanye West's "On Site", from his new album Yeezus.

As fans demanded he return to music, West grew frustrated. If the fashion industry wouldn't let him be himself, he knew that the music industry would. The resulting album, Yeezus, (a portmanteau of 'Jesus' and Kanye's nickname, 'Ye') is, without a doubt, one of the most tasteless and arrogant albums ever produced.

“Touch the Sky” is a song that is essentially about Kanye's struggle - not having money for things; having to wait outside the club to get in; what he would do to pretend he'd made already made it, and doubts about ever making it.

"Touch the sky with glory" is a phrase that generally means to achieve great success or to attain a high level of achiev.

Kanye West is one of music's biggest stars and his roots as an in-demand beatsmith are well-known: He produced huge hits for Ludacris (“Stand Up”) and Alicia Keys (“You Don't Know My Name”), and played a major role in the sound of Jay-Z's classic The Blueprint.

Since his work on The Blueprint, Kanye has produced over 200 songs for other artists, including eleven Top 10 singles and multiple #1 albums.

Once proud and happy to be on the list of Forbes billionaires, Ye has now lost a staggering $1.6 billion in net worth, bringing his total to a measly $400 million. It's a far cry from his glory days when he was worth a cool $2 billion. So what happened? It all started with his fashion deal with Adidas.
