Composition[edit]
Just Blaze handled the song's production, making it the only track on the album to not be produced by West.[2] A slowed sample is included of Curtis Mayfield's 1971 song 'Move On Up'.[3] Blaze tried the sample after nothing was really clicking in the studio and it was the beat that West felt passionate about when Blaze played him multiple beats.[4] He had already completed the production before meeting West at Baseline Studios.[5] Essentially, the song looks at struggles that West has experienced.[6]
Music video[edit]
The music video for 'Touch the Sky', released in February 2006, was directed by Chris Milk and filmed as a '70s style short movie about daredevil Evel Kanyevel (played by Kanye West) and his attempt to fly a small rocket across the Grand Canyon. It is done in homage to Evel Knievel's unsuccessful jump across the Snake River Canyon in 1974.[7]

The video features Pamela Anderson, Nia Long, Tracee Ellis Ross, and the Booker T. Washington High School Marching Band of Houston, Texas, which performs with Lupe Fiasco at a pep rally.[8] The production cost for the music video was approximately $1 million, which is the 25th most expensive music video of all time.[9]
It was nominated for multiple awards, but only won Best Hip-Hop Video at the 2007 Music Video Production Awards.
Lawsuit[edit]
In December 2006, Evel Knievel filed a lawsuit against Kanye West for trademark infringement.[7] Specifically, Knievel's lawsuit cites the similarities between West's star-adorned, blue and white costume in the video and the costume in which the stuntman wore when attempting his 1974 Snake River Canyon jump. West's attorneys argued that the music video amounted to satire and therefore was covered under the First Amendment. Just days before his death in November 2007, Knievel amicably settled the suit after being paid a visit from West, saying, 'I thought he was a wonderful guy and quite a gentleman.'[10]
