Background[edit]

West and Kid Cudi had collaborated on several tracks before 'Pt. 1'; their first collaboration was West's 2008 'Welcome to Heartbreak'.[1]Desiigner met West in front of Los Angeles International Airport after West called him to arrange a meeting, and West played 'Pt. 2' for Desiigner in his car.[2] In an interview with The Fader, Desiigner said about his single 'Panda' being sampled by West in the track: 'He just took my song and was like, 'I love it.''[2]Caroline Shaw was approached backstage by West, who asked for her phone number, at a 2014 Roomful of Teeth performance of Partita for 8 Voices.[3] Originally uninterested in a collaboration, Shaw changed her mind two weeks later after listening to West's 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak and released a remix of the album's song 'Say You Will' in October 2015.[3] In addition to 'Pt. 2', Shaw recorded vocals for The Life of Pablo's 'Wolves'.[3]

A one-hour remix of 'Father Stretch My Hands' was shared by West at the June 26, 2016 premiere of the music video for his single, 'Famous'.[4] West tweeted a picture of the song's lyrics shortly before the album was released, and said that he cried when he wrote it.[5] Two days after the album's release, West tweeted thanks to musician Drake for helping him write 'Pt. 1' and the album track '30 Hours' and promised more music with Drake and rapper Future.[6]

Composition and recording[edit]

'Pt. 1' and 'Pt. 2' contain vocals by Kid Cudi (left, in 2010) and Desiigner (right, in 2018), respectively.

On The Life of Pablo, 'Father Stretch My Hands' is split into two parts: 'Pt. 1' with vocals by Kid Cudi and Kelly Price, and 'Pt. 2' with vocals by Desiigner and Caroline Shaw.[7] It is a hip hop song; 'Pt. 1' has elements of gospel music, and 'Pt. 2' contains elements of trap music.[8] 'Pt. 1' heavily samples 'Father Stretch My Hands' by T. L. Barrett, and its lyrics are centered around models.[9][8] 'Pt. 1' segues into 'Pt. 2', a soul-baring confessional dance track which begins with a sampled sound clip of the announcer of the 1991 video game Street Fighter II yelling 'Perfect!'.[8][10] 'Pt. 2' has a verse by West before it transitions to two verses sampled from Desiigner's song, 'Panda', which is about drug-dealing and cars. After resolving into a meditative piece spoken on a vocoder by Shaw, the song ends with a snippet of T. L. Barrett's track.[8][11]

West raps in 'Pt. 1', 'Now, if I fuck this model/ And she just bleached her asshole/ And I get bleach on my T-shirt/ I'ma feel like an asshole'; although co-writer Chance the Rapper denied responsibility for the lyrics, he expressed respect for them and viewed West as a comedian in the studio.[12][13] On an episode of BET's video series Rate The Bars, hip hop artist Rhymefest remembered leaving the studio after hearing West come up with the bleached-asshole lyrics.[12] Rapper Kendrick Lamar was originally slated to appear on 'Pt. 1', although his vocals were removed from the final version and a demo of the song surfaced on SoundCloud in March 2018 that included him rapping.[14] At the time, West sent out a tweet instating 'Me and Kendrick got 40 songs, and me and Young Thug got 40 songs.'[14]

After the release of The Life of Pablo, West announced plans to change the album during 2016 with new mixes, tweaks, and additions; Def Jam, his label, called it 'a living, evolving art project.'[15] Some songs experienced greater changes than others, and both parts of 'Father Stretch My Hands' received minor updates. They included new background vocals near the end of West's verse in 'Pt. 1'; the production (and West's vocals) on 'Pt. 2' were smoothed out and emphasized more.[15][16]

Release and reception[edit]

'Father Stretch My Hands' was released on February 14, 2016, as the second and third track on West's seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo, as 'Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1' and 'Pt. 2' respectively.[7][17] On June 7 of that year, West released both parts of the song as the second single from the album.[18]

Critical reception[edit]

'Father Stretch My Hands' received general acclaim from music critics, with the T. L. Barrett sample in 'Pt. 1' and West's verse on 'Pt. 2' praised. Jordan Hoffman of Vanity Fair wrote about the T. L. Barrett sample, 'It's the sort of perfect sample that makes dealing with West's enormous ego worth it: a unique, distant, strangely familiar sound re-contextualized in a modern groove.'[19]

Father Stretch My Hands

Sheldon Pearce of Spin wrote about the sample, 'Kanye West tweeted that The Life of Pablo was a gospel album during one of his longer stream-of-consciousness fits and that certainly can be taken literally - the samples of the Pastor T. L. Barrett's 'Father I Stretch My Hands', sermons from Kirk Franklin.' Kyle McGovern of the online magazine praised West's verse on 'Pt. 2' as one of the album's 'flashes of vintage 'Ye' because of its 'references to his childhood and life-changing car wreck.'[20] Alicia Adejobi of the International Business Times also praised West's rapping in the verse as 'unapologetic about mistakes he may have made and the most notable moments in his personal life', noting the track's 'incredible production from Metro Boomin.'[21] Jake Valentine of The Daily Illini cited West and Kid Cudi on 'Pt. 1' as his favorite collaboration on the album, describing Kid Cudi's appearance as 'smooth and echoey vocals paired with one of the best beats on the album.'[22] A RESPECT. staff member wrote that Kid Cudi's hook 'is one of the most amazing things I've heard in a while', and called West 'the most reckless rapper alive' for the bleached-asshole lyric.[23] The lyric was included in a January 2017 Complex list of the worst sex lyrics in rap history.[24]

Accolades[edit]

Complex listed 'Pt. 1' and 'Pt. 2' as the third and 13th best songs of 2016 in their list of the year's 50 best songs.[25] In August 2017, the website listed 'Pt. 1' as the third-best collaboration between West and Kid Cudi.[26] 'Pt. 1' appeared on the 'Award-Winning R&B/Hip-Hop Songs' and 'Award-Winning Rap Songs' lists at the 2017 ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards,[27] and was one of the 35 Most Performed R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at the 2017 BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards.[28]

Rumored music video[edit]

When West was on set to shoot the music video for Desiigner's single, 'Panda' in May 2016, a May 11 vine posted by Luka Sabbat indicated that West was also filming a video for 'Pt. 2';[29] a month earlier, he had shot one for The Life of Pablo track 'Waves'.[29] The vine contained West, on a monitor, rapping portions of 'Pt. 2' over the caption '2 times'.[30] The video had nearly 33,000 plays in 11 hours, and was deleted within 24 hours of its upload.[30][31] No music video had been released or spoken of by February 2018, leading to the belief that it was a rumor.[32]

Live performances[edit]

West first performed 'Pt. 2' live at the Paradise International Music Festival in 2016.[33] He sang a medley which included Kid Cudi's vocals from 'Pt. 1' (a tribute to Kid Cudi, who was in rehab) over the instrumental of 'Waves' on October 25, 2016, in Inglewood, California during the Saint Pablo Tour; HipHopDX shared a recording of the performance on Instagram.[34] Chance the Rapper covered 'Pt. 1' at the 2017 Governors Ball Music Festival, where he also covered the album tracks 'Waves' and 'Ultralight Beam'.[35] West and Kid Cudi unexpectedly performed 'Pt. 1' in Los Angeles on August 17, 2018, in addition to 'Ghost Town' from West's album Ye (2018).[36] When West and Kid Cudi performed live at the 2018 Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival as Kids See Ghosts, they opened their set with 'Pt. 1'.[37]

Commercial performance[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

'Pt. 1' charted in six countries. When The Life of Pablo was released, it charted at number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart before it was released as a single.[38] 'Pt. 1' debuted during the same week at number 54 on the UK Singles Chart before its release as part of the single.[39] It did the same on the Canadian Hot 100, charting at number 51 and spending four weeks on the chart.[40] On the Irish Singles Chart, the track reached number 74 the week the album was released.[41] It entered the Swedish national record chart (Sverigetopplistan) at number 79 when The Life of Pablo was released,[42] and debuted that week at number 97 on the Dutch Top 40.[43] 'Pt. 1' was West's eighth number-one on the US BillboardR&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, on October 20, 2016.[44] The song was certified silver in the UK on October 20, 2017 (over one year after the two-part single's release) for sales of 200,000 copies,[45] and was certified double platinum in the US on March 7, 2018.[46]

Pt. 2[edit]

'Pt. 2' performed similarly to 'Pt. 1', also charting in six countries. It entered the US Billboard Hot 100 and the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with The Life of Pablo's release, debuting at numbers 54 and 18 respectively.[38] The song reached number 70 on the UK Singles Chart that week.[47] The track debuted at number 60 on the Canadian Hot 100 when the album was released, spending three weeks on the chart.[48] During the same week, it reached number 87 on the Irish Singles Chart.[41] The track debuted at number 95 on the Sverigetopplistan chart when The Life of Pablo was released, and charted at number 100 on the Dutch Top 40 that week.[49][50] 'Pt. 2' was certified platinum in the US on February 1, 2018, nearly two years after the single's release.[32]

Legacy[edit]

'Pt. 1' spawned a number of Internet memes, including Future's tagline for producer Metro Boomin's entrance on the song: 'If young Metro don't trust you I'm gon' shoot you'.[51][52] 'Pt. 2' was listed by West's wife, Kim Kardashian, in August 2016 as one of her 28 favorite songs by him.[53] When Drake rapped 'Duppy Freestyle' in May 2018, he referred to The Life of Pablo tracks 'Pt. 1' and '30 Hours' and his Kanye West and Jay-Z-featured single 'Pop Style' in a poke at West.[54]
