Wake Up Mr. West opened Kanye West's second album Late Registration, released in 2005, as a short skit setting up the school theme carried over from The College Dropout. Mr. West is West himself, cast as the tardy student being called to attention. The line later circulated far beyond the album on soundboards, alarm videos and short form edits, where its short length and recognisable call made it a ready made wake up cue. It remains used because the reference is instant for hip hop fans.

Wake Up Mr. West is the spoken intro from Kanye West's Late Registration, used as a wake up alarm, morning edit cue and meme sound effect online.
The clip captures the opening call of Wake Up Mr. West, with a firm teacher-like voice repeating the name to rouse a sleeping student. The delivery is stern but comic, building from a normal call to an insistent shout that cuts through silence. There is no long musical build, just the vocal hook that instantly signals morning, lateness and getting caught dozing off. Listeners recognise it immediately from Kanye West's album intro, and that familiarity makes the short burst land as both a joke and a genuine wake up prompt in edits.
