Kanye West - Vultures Vol. 1 Album Release Thread

You can feel the unchecked bipolar mania.

Every idea he had he thought was genius and he no longer has anyone that can tell him no.

Donda was a low point but even i liked that album. But the biggest problem is songs don’t “hit” for lack of a better word. Theres almost no structure. You know how in a song it builds and the beat drops? All of Kanyes songs now are like edging where you’re waiting for it to get good, or raise in energy, and it never does.

You’re exactly correct. For a while I thought he was experimenting with song structure, trying to do something freeform. Now I think it’s just laziness and bipolar mania.

Will it actually be good or another half assed Kanye album?

I honestly never thought I'd live to see the day that one of the most famous "rappers" wears a Burzum shirt and designs his album with the same font up in the corner which is a clear shout out to Burzum.

Is it Varg approved? "LET'S FIND OUT!"
Yes, actually it is Varg approved.

So does that link posted earlier actually work? There’s some links on YouTube but I assume 30k views in 8* days means it’s bogus.
Edit:

 

[Antwan2]

The production throughout the whole album is crazy but only a few songs are good. Do it, back to me, vultures, and king are the only good songs imo

 

[TheGhostOfBernellTrammell]

i havent had a chance to listen, is it a full skip album or worth the listen at least once? kanye still manages to put out at least one solid song an album most times it feels like so I'm inclined to listen when i can

 

[TheGhostOfBernellTrammell]

Black Sabbath should be grateful that Ye decided to sample them and Ozzy should be paying Ye for the privilege.

and a live sample too. muh antisemitism. but its still something that kanye should have tried more extensively to deal with before releasing the album unless getting jewed by ozzys lawyers over it is part of his public penance moment for apologizing and being let back into the hollywood fold more fully.

Ozzy should be paying Ye, period. No one gives a fuck about Black Sabbath anymore. Last time I saw him he was held up by a metal rod at half time of the Rams/Bills game two years ago. They let him sing for 20 seconds and cut the feed then plugged his album. Sharon should be ashamed of herself.

Dear anyone who doesn’t think this is fire as fuck:

I’m sorry you’re so fucking stupid.

It’s never not Yeezy season. Anyone who doesn’t think so well, I’m so appalled:

Yeezus was one of those albums that grew on me over time. First listen I was really mixed on it, but overtime came to love it. I really wish the album version of Black Skinhead sounded more like the live version he did on SNL. That shit was awesome.

I felt like every song on Yeezus had great bass and I had subs in my car at the time

Album sucks, just listened to it. He loves doing this gay abrupt, obnoxious sample that cuts off suddenly shit. It’s not cute it’s not funny.

The song concepts suck dick and the production is weak.

That could be any of his albums. Does he still have a guest on every track, or can he make music on his own now?

 

[Africa.com]

I am a God was probably the best

 

[TorqueWheeler]

You didn't like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Beyond that I get it, but that album is great.

There are a couple of legit great songs on The Life of Pablo but yeah. I will say I think this is a lot better than I expected.

Agreed. I don't love the album though, although I love the weird sample interludes that Harry hates on something like On Sight. Frank Ocean on a Kanye album is always great, Blood on the Leaves is really good and Bound 2 has always been the highlight for me.

“Hurry up with my damn ménage.”

 

[Africa.com]

“Hurry up with my damn ménage.”

The bass was so good and continuous I've never actually heard the song

 

[TorqueWheeler]

“Hurry up with my damn ménage.”

My wife and I still say "hurry up with my damn croissants!" to each other fairly regularly.
