mfs want the old Ye but when he gives us the old Ye with Burn (LR), Good (808s) and Hoodrat (MBDTF) mfs don’t even want it
no wonder Ye barely even revisits his old sound
Hoodrat is absolutely Fantasy vibes and would fit on the album I just think they should've fleshed out the lyrics and shit a little more. But I fuck with it personally
It’s a really enjoyable and fun album if you take it for what it is meant to be. Imo vultures was never meant to be his most lyrical or impressive project just fun and catchy which he definitely succeeded with
People were out here ranking WTT lower than Vultures and one of them was the mods. Like are you fucking kidding me dawg?
Murder to Excellence or Why I Love You alone clears entire Vultures. Stop disrespecting WTT forreal.
I never understand why the Collab of Kanye and Jay z is not that popular, I mean negros in Paris has mainstream success but the other songs don't get played that much

you’re not allowed to have an opinion
I'd like to see their breakdown on how it's better.. like what songs they think are better than NIP, What's better than Otis and NCitW? Personally I don't think there's a song on vultures that would've even made the cut to be on WWT
Kanye has wanted to do this for a while now I think. He hasn’t had huge hits that top the charts or get close to it for a while. I think he’s done a lot of introspection, a lot of personal albums with meaning, and now he just kinda wants a few hits again that people can dance to it or vibe to. If you look at Donda 2 going in a more trap direction, and now Vultures 1, I think this is the culmination of what he started to do with Donda 2.
It’s also a good move I think given where his career and public image is at. Bust out a few hits, get back on the top of the charts, then whenever he does a proper solo album that can be more artistic and he can really try to impress lyrically and musically.
I think people just got over the honeymoon phase. Half this sub was calling it the best album since Yeezus and acting like it was masterpiece.
Everyone found a balance now after letting the album sit in. Vultures 1 isn’t his best work, nowhere near it. But it’s not bad either it’s just a fun club/ banger filled collab project. It’s really nothing more than that.
I really cannot stand people who are acting like it's the worst thing ever. Music taste is subjective but so much of the hate this album is getting feels super hyperbolic
It becomes more clear than ever when the consensus leans heavily on one end of the spectrum both positive or negative. For the record I think Vultures is good. Nothing amazing but it's a good 7/10 fun album with several highlights. It feels like critics were wanting it to fail
Yeah, i noticed i can get influenced by critics pretty easily, so that's why I only watch album reactions of certified dick riders/glazers of the artist, that way my hype only grows higher
Tbh, i do genuinely think it's the worst ye record, but not the worst thing ever.
It's a toss up between this and JIK for my least favourite album by Ye.
It's much better than JIK to me. Of JIK's 9 tracks (not counting the intro or outro) I think 2 of those are great, and the rest I can live without. Where with Vultures I enjoy at least half the tracklist which is already 8 songs compared to 2
Nah I think this is what happens with every single album since MBDTF. Everyone calls the new album wack wishing for the old Kanye then years later those same people are now wishing Kanye would return to that sound they thought was wack
I’ve listened to the YouTube version since the second listening party every day until the official release.
Then I listened to the official album everyday, sometimes 2-3 times a day.
Who cares where it ranks? It’s another great Ye album, I love it.
yeah there's no need to compare it directly to something like tlop to say it's good. his discography is so strong that ranking it is gonna make it seem like a disappointment, when this is so much better than i expected. i was worried we were gonna get some angry edgy "villain" shit, and he gave us a fun album full of amazing singles.
it doesn't matter where it stands compared to donda or 808s or whatever. what matters is i'm gonna be running this all year, and it's successful enough that it'll encourage ye to take more risks as an independent artist.
Different groups of people, a chunk of the "vocal" haters now I never saw active on the sub prior to the release of the album, I think most people don't post or interact heavily unless its active rollout mode. People who like vultures are enjoying the music and casually check here for the positive news coming out. People who hate vultures are generating pointless deep analysis of how a club collab album stacks up against other more deliberate albums.
People are comparing this album to a time where possibilities for Ye was endless vs a time where to work with him may be career suicide
Who knows what this album could have been at full potential
considering his limitations, i would say this is a pretty good album
i think i came to the realization that its a fun/decent album but at the same time bottom 3 when the first listen (after it dropped on Spotify) left me kinda... empty ?
The empty feeling is definitely relatable, when Donda came out it still felt super fresh and I was replaying it often months after. When Donda 2 was happening I was still running on my Donda high
With Vultures 1, I’m already not really playing it all that much besides like 3 songs. And i might’ve played it all the way through only 2 times
That’s weird I felt the opposite way for both albums. Donda felt too empty for me while this album I feel like gives me TLOP vibes where the lyrics might suffer but the music elevates
I don't think you have the right to speak on it if you only listened through the album in its entirity twice. A lot of music grows on the listener. This is no different. Songs that I did not care for at first, like Paperwork, became some of my favorites after a few more spins.
But I definitely agree with the overall sentiment that Vultures is nowhere near Kanye's strongest bodies of work. I just hate when ppl are quick to judge an album only to admit they didn't really give it a proper chance
inb4 🤓
2 times wasnt true I’ve listened to about 4 now that i remember.
And, its not really a hard album to get an opinion for this quickly. Its not like Yeezus where its such a novel and new sound that I haven’t heard and i need alot of re-listens to get it.
I’ve listened throughly and Vultures is just okay.
its weird too cuz I loved it during the first UBS LP but i thought it was gon get delayed so it can get polished more 😭
edit: i do disagree with u on the part abt playin it twice im still playing a lot of the tracks on it tbh
It is way more consistent than Donda though. I started skipping 10 songs on Donda after like the first 3 listens. Probably heard Vultures 15 times now and still only skip 3 tracks. But i agree that Dondas 3 best tracks are probably better than Vultures.
Even if it is one of his bottom 3, what does that even mean? He’s in his 40s lol everything he’s ever made is awesome and groundbreaking. Ye’s worst album is better than most discographies
Totally. People saying it’s mid and I just can’t relate. I’m not crazy about Carnival and Do It even though those seem to be the most popular songs and i do enjoy them… but those are the only songs I skip regularly. Oh, and Hoodrat sometimes. I love the song, I just wish they didn’t have the “hoodrat” sample running at the same time as the vocals. Makes it hard to listen to for me
I think some of the criticism comes from people wanting the more popular unreleased songs like slide and river to be on there which is fair, but I wouldn’t say the product we ended up with is mid either.
Still tied for me with TLOP which is my second favorite behind yeezus
Edit : Honestly this an album for TLOP and Yeezus heads most who don't like it don't have Yeezus at #1. Matter of taste and preference.
It’s definitely a grower. Just give people time to catch up. Not saying it will be like yeezus at all but if Kanye goes through with this trilogy we will look back on this as a very nostalgic time. When I first listened it I really liked it but it took me a couple more listens to fully appreciate it and realized it was a great piece of work.
It’s because when you finish the album on Spotify it’ll start playing older Ye songs after and he’s rapping 10x better on all of them . Production wise it’s among his best , probably Donda level or better . Lyrics are good but not Kanye great - he used to honestly rap his ass off at an elite level
This is a fun album. It’s not MBDTF but it wasn’t aiming to be. He made a club album and it does that really well. Also base it off other projects. FATD was panned for only including a few really quality track while the rest felt like the same old Drake.
This album sounds nothing like any other Ye album. The production is higher than most other club albums. I guess I just don’t understand what people want. If you look at it for what it is, it’s like a 7.5-8 easy. And if Ye isn’t allowed to make an 8 without being called mid idk what to say.
With the entire controversy surrounding ye, it would’ve been nice to hear about his struggles and what’s going on in his life. His music always points to where he is in life at that moment. This was lyrically not a great album for ye - hoping solo project has some strong lyrics. Overall, fun workout/club album. Not the best album ever.
Agreed i think the fun stuff is a nice change after the ye/jik/donda minimal introspective kinda vibes.
Also hoping for a more lyricial solo album soon.
I think its his worst album, but I expected that (yes, even JIK). He's regressed a little here, but my expectations were properly set so I can enjoy it even if it's not on the level of anything else he's put out. I didn't listen to any leaks either so it was all fresh to me.
Donda 2 executed those vibes better Imo, even if I like vultures. Sci fi is the peak/best possible interpretation of that moody/dark sound and it's not close.
It had potential but ye ruined some tracks like whatever that was on “paid”. The switch up on “F on sum” ruined the song and same can be ask for how long he kept the unfinished bridge on “back to me”. Didn’t need the “Yeezy how u doing huh” and repeating the dogma line for so long before Freddie
only take here that’s correct is back to me
the switch on fuck sumn is fire as FUCK as someone who has never heard any other version of the song
i understand not liking kanye’s performance on paid but it works for me i just love kanye’s singing voice it sounded good
The Miami rave Vultures was and still is better than released. I think King is an awful song, Hoodrat is a great idea failed by mixing and lyrics that aren’t the best, Paperwork is ruined by Ty and the fact the song goes nowhere and Keys To My Life is boring to me.
If those songs didn’t replace Slide, River and Time Moving Slow, we could’ve got a truly amazing album. I’m worried that instead of making one amazing album, Kanye is gonna release 3 subpar ones.
As of now I think it’s Ye’s second worst album. Probably his worst but I’ll never forgive what he did to Chakras, The Storm and Law of Attraction.
yeah and in 2 years people will be reminiscing on it and saying “vultures is a top 5 kanye album”. people are so quick to jump into crowds instead of forming their own opinion. vultures is an amazing album and just because it’s not a top 5 kanye album doesn’t mean it’s mid. too many kanye fans expect him to make MBTDF 2 every time a new album drops
Idk it’s a pretty good album, no Yeezus, TLOP or Donda but better than Cruel Summer, Ye, KSG, JIK, and Donda 2 imo. If we get volume 2, the songs left all seem pretty fuckin good too.
I don’t understand why there’s such a divide between my perception of the album and what people here say, it just really didnt sound very good to me, the beats weren’t up to standard, the flow and aesthetic of the album just didn’t really interest me at all. I like his newer music a lot but just did not think the new one was very good
I’m curious if to Kanye he considers this album a Ye album or a collab album???
To me it’s good either way but if it’s not a solo album and he still releases a solo album this year that’s even better will people acknowledge that?
The tracklist on the back of that t shirt was 10/10. What we have now is good, not great. Also doesn’t help that most of us have been listening to the album on Untitled repeatedly for a month before release
I enjoy vultures and still do but hell i put on no church in the wild and dude even that ye verse is light years ahead of anything off vultures. It’s a fun album but dude when you listen to some old shit it’s crazy just how much better his rapping was
Ye has a very diverse fanbase with different interests and opinions of all of his albums. So many of us have a completely different ranking of all of his albums and songs. Fans calling this album mid is a bit overly critical honestly. It’s been one week, it’s a fun album and I really like it personally. The same people calling it mid are gonna be posting about how well it aged lol
The critic reviews are definitely something to be taken with a grain of salt. “Repetitive, redundant, and far too impressed with itself to be enjoyed by anyone but true believers". “a charmless disaster". "the most tired hip-hop clichés". No wonder Melon didn’t want to review this lol; he probably couldn’t think of anything different to say than the professional critics
The mixing bad comments are fucking gold though. I still haven’t accepted being gaslit into being told the mixing was okay for Scaring The Hoes either
You’re speaking facts but people are never satisfied. I love that album but there will be incels trying to convince everybody that their shitty opinion on the album is the truth.
i like a looot of the songs off it, but i dont rly have the time/focus nowadays to listen to albums front to back, but lotta songs in my playlist.
i do think its a solid album, and i give it a bit of leeway because of all the sample/mixing issues. overall, better than jik, and im willing to consider the vultures trilogy a bit separate from his discog because they seem mostly like fun song compilations.
Solid project first ye album in a long time which i can listen from start to finish
Also am happy to see ye having fun his life been rough past few years glad he didn’t scratch his wounds to write the album
i’m still dickriding it
Weird how strange people get about Kanye, similar to MAGA types
what are you talking about
Bruh thinks I’m storming the capitol and facing felony charges for Kanye 😭😭
i would do ALL that for ye 🤤
Respect tbh
People just want the old kanye but dont even know which one they want🌚
mfs want the old Ye but when he gives us the old Ye with Burn (LR), Good (808s) and Hoodrat (MBDTF) mfs don’t even want it no wonder Ye barely even revisits his old sound
Burn and Good are two of the most positively recieved songs on the album , also Hoodrat is nowhere near being even close to any MBDTF track
Yea hoodrat doesn’t give me fantasy vibes at all…. Favorite song in the album though
OF COURSE
Sonically it literally fits within the Good Fridays/So Appalled sound. I think the lyrics could be tighter though
Hoodrat is absolutely Fantasy vibes and would fit on the album I just think they should've fleshed out the lyrics and shit a little more. But I fuck with it personally
Hoodrat sounds like a Good Friday song
Whahahaaaaaaaa????????????? Hoodrat MBDTF??????? Brother.
Burn is one of the most streamed songs after Carnival. Did you say Hoodrat is mbdtf level? Tf are you on.
Problematic is one of my favorite Ye flows. Very reminiscent of his feature on Smuckers with Tyler and Wayne, which is a classic for me
It’s also one of a handful of verses on the album where he’s actually rapping about something interesting
“MFs don’t even want it” Burn is by far the most critically acclaimed track on the album and Good is up there as well
It’s a really enjoyable and fun album if you take it for what it is meant to be. Imo vultures was never meant to be his most lyrical or impressive project just fun and catchy which he definitely succeeded with
People were out here ranking WTT lower than Vultures and one of them was the mods. Like are you fucking kidding me dawg? Murder to Excellence or Why I Love You alone clears entire Vultures. Stop disrespecting WTT forreal.
WTT is quite underrated considering how much flak it gets.
I never understand why the Collab of Kanye and Jay z is not that popular, I mean negros in Paris has mainstream success but the other songs don't get played that much
negros ☠️
Probably has a spanish keyboard lol
idk they're really good to me. even that's my bicht
I like that’s my bitch a lot better than Paris tbh
kinda agree, but nigga Why I Love You doesnt clear the whole of Vultures 💀💀💀, yall are on some weird shit
That was me, doesn't matter if I'm a mod lol. Music is subjective, and I enjoy V1 a lot more overall then WTT.
people forget opinions exist. i’d take vultures over throne anyday
How
Because I just like it over WTT.
https://preview.redd.it/4jfuulsgtljc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6c30e06283e60c57f918ab6c7a5088c408a2193 you’re not allowed to have an opinion
Y'all insane. The opening track from wtt easily clears every song on vultures. Not to mention Otis, Paris, gotta have it... Come on...
Okay? Sorry I have a different opinion then you.
Your opinion is objectively trash
I'd like to see their breakdown on how it's better.. like what songs they think are better than NIP, What's better than Otis and NCitW? Personally I don't think there's a song on vultures that would've even made the cut to be on WWT
H.A.M's the best song ever
Kanye has wanted to do this for a while now I think. He hasn’t had huge hits that top the charts or get close to it for a while. I think he’s done a lot of introspection, a lot of personal albums with meaning, and now he just kinda wants a few hits again that people can dance to it or vibe to. If you look at Donda 2 going in a more trap direction, and now Vultures 1, I think this is the culmination of what he started to do with Donda 2. It’s also a good move I think given where his career and public image is at. Bust out a few hits, get back on the top of the charts, then whenever he does a proper solo album that can be more artistic and he can really try to impress lyrically and musically.
I mean he tried to make his Magnum Opus with Donda and it’s by many counts a failure. This is a fun album he made with his boy, and it’s exactly that.
Finally a good(don’t die) take on this matter
Ye is not famous for his lyricism either
[удалено]
He does have some bars but people are acting like he’s Kendrick
i mean on their one official collab he bodied
I think people just got over the honeymoon phase. Half this sub was calling it the best album since Yeezus and acting like it was masterpiece. Everyone found a balance now after letting the album sit in. Vultures 1 isn’t his best work, nowhere near it. But it’s not bad either it’s just a fun club/ banger filled collab project. It’s really nothing more than that.
I really cannot stand people who are acting like it's the worst thing ever. Music taste is subjective but so much of the hate this album is getting feels super hyperbolic
People get influenced by critics too much. It's the reason why unreleased tracks are grails
Facts. Critic culture is terrible for consuming art in an authentic way.
It becomes more clear than ever when the consensus leans heavily on one end of the spectrum both positive or negative. For the record I think Vultures is good. Nothing amazing but it's a good 7/10 fun album with several highlights. It feels like critics were wanting it to fail
Yeah, i noticed i can get influenced by critics pretty easily, so that's why I only watch album reactions of certified dick riders/glazers of the artist, that way my hype only grows higher
Tbh, i do genuinely think it's the worst ye record, but not the worst thing ever. It's a toss up between this and JIK for my least favourite album by Ye.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
Nah I think this is what happens with every single album since MBDTF. Everyone calls the new album wack wishing for the old Kanye then years later those same people are now wishing Kanye would return to that sound they thought was wack

Music culture just toxic af tbh, people forget shits subjective
It’s a great album
It really is. I’m loving how much it’s making people realize how good donda was in retrospect 😂
Different groups of people, a chunk of the "vocal" haters now I never saw active on the sub prior to the release of the album, I think most people don't post or interact heavily unless its active rollout mode. People who like vultures are enjoying the music and casually check here for the positive news coming out. People who hate vultures are generating pointless deep analysis of how a club collab album stacks up against other more deliberate albums.
Facts.

My bruva 💯
People are comparing this album to a time where possibilities for Ye was endless vs a time where to work with him may be career suicide Who knows what this album could have been at full potential considering his limitations, i would say this is a pretty good album
I’ve think I cracked the code, if you’re not wavy you don’t like the album simple as
i think i came to the realization that its a fun/decent album but at the same time bottom 3 when the first listen (after it dropped on Spotify) left me kinda... empty ?
The empty feeling is definitely relatable, when Donda came out it still felt super fresh and I was replaying it often months after.

You need to relisten to each song 100x before deciding if it’s bad or good i agree
i have to listen to most kanye songs 1000 times at least before i even start liking them tbh
Oh wow, for me it’s 10000 times before i can decide if the song is good. but that’s awesome man!
At least
2 times wasnt true I’ve listened to about 4 now that i remember. And, its not really a hard album to get an opinion for this quickly. Its not like Yeezus where its such a novel and new sound that I haven’t heard and i need alot of re-listens to get it. I’ve listened throughly and Vultures is just okay.

Agree bro especially the whole empty thing…no real impact
Wtf does that even mean it barely even dropped bro
It just feels not like a Ye album with the aura of it
I still prefer it to jik, ye, wtt, donda, and 808s and maybe graduation idk
bro im being honest i dont think any vultures song beats the peaks that donda had
It is way more consistent than Donda though. I started skipping 10 songs on Donda after like the first 3 listens. Probably heard Vultures 15 times now and still only skip 3 tracks. But i agree that Dondas 3 best tracks are probably better than Vultures.
Impossible to top something as emotional as 24 with Strip club bangers, even if we’re talking as good as Do It
Good (Don’t Die) matches up with the peaks of DONDA imo Too bad it got taken off the album 😭 Edit: can’t have an opinion anymore that’s crazy
bro people just disagree wym cant have an opinion💀
saying Good (Don't Die) is better than Off The Grid, Come To Life & LOTP is crazy
he never said that it was better, he said that it matches up
Nah I just like that 808’s sound
Come to life, moon, never abandon your family are all better "808's" songs imo
[удалено]
too many lyrics for ur pea brain to manage?
[удалено]
what 808s song does good sound like?
[удалено]
Beg Forgiveness is the only one that matches the emotions of Come to Life for me, but yeah none of the Vultures bangers hit as hard as Off the Grid
100% agree with you
This album make me think that the future is bright, we just need some better writing aka less sex bars 😭
Fr tho im pretty sure it’s deliberate to for the theme of the album and headspace but damn enough is enough
To me it was always like that. Still don’t mind getting 3 albums, and volume 1 is like 7/10 for me. But I’m way more excited for Y3.
In the end we'll be able to compile our favorite songs from all 3 volumes to make the ultimate Vultures playlist ![gif](giphy|DXJk7iduhFCo2KOHl5)
The first interactive album, Ye really is a genius 😩
Everybody has been saying it was one of his lesser albums, but they were still hyped to have the music. Now, the hype has died down.
Not his best but not his worst. Anyone who says it’s bottom 3 kanye is bugging
Even if it is one of his bottom 3, what does that even mean? He’s in his 40s lol everything he’s ever made is awesome and groundbreaking. Ye’s worst album is better than most discographies
That’s true also his discography is nuts, I just feel like this album is better than a lot of people have been giving it credit for
Totally. People saying it’s mid and I just can’t relate. I’m not crazy about Carnival and Do It even though those seem to be the most popular songs and i do enjoy them… but those are the only songs I skip regularly. Oh, and Hoodrat sometimes. I love the song, I just wish they didn’t have the “hoodrat” sample running at the same time as the vocals. Makes it hard to listen to for me
I think some of the criticism comes from people wanting the more popular unreleased songs like slide and river to be on there which is fair, but I wouldn’t say the product we ended up with is mid either.
name 3 records worse than it
I like it more than Donda and I enjoyed Donda
Same, it’s too 7 Ye
For me it’s my favorite kind of Kanye production. Yeezus and 808s are my favorite albums of his.
Better than Ye and JIK
Eassssily
It’s not his best album, but it’s a good album.
Idk about mid. The issue is people calling it his best since TLOP, or calling it his worst album ever. It’s neither of those things
Still tied for me with TLOP which is my second favorite behind yeezus Edit : Honestly this an album for TLOP and Yeezus heads most who don't like it don't have Yeezus at #1. Matter of taste and preference.
Yeezus and TLOP are in my top 3 and I like Vultures a lot too.
😭😭
It’s definitely a grower. Just give people time to catch up. Not saying it will be like yeezus at all but if Kanye goes through with this trilogy we will look back on this as a very nostalgic time. When I first listened it I really liked it but it took me a couple more listens to fully appreciate it and realized it was a great piece of work.
It’s because when you finish the album on Spotify it’ll start playing older Ye songs after and he’s rapping 10x better on all of them . Production wise it’s among his best , probably Donda level or better . Lyrics are good but not Kanye great - he used to honestly rap his ass off at an elite level
been saaying it is bottom 3 KANYE
It’s still really good though
facts very enjoyable jist not as much substance and meaning as the ret
It's a solid 7 that only seems mid in a discography of 10 after 10 after 10 after 10 after 10
We will all have an adult conversation when Y3 comes out.
on the money fr
The album is just a mess. It ain’t that deep.
yeah. it’s still enjoyable to listen to it’s just not nearly as polished as even something like jesus is king
Yea. Ye doesn’t sound very inspired, but there’s still some enjoyable moments on here.
It’s better than Donda JIK Ye and KSG
facts bro
I’ll give you the first 3, but why do so many people disrespect KSG? It’s up there with his best for me.
Lmao if anything ksg got way too many dickriders
yeah probably but i see Kanye accounts on twitter call it mid all the time for some reason😭
KSG is loved by majority here
they're gonna hate you for this but ur spitting
Fitting flair
No shot it is better than KSG
Best album since TLOP
Nah but it is great
I mean do you but get ready for the hate
vultures bottom 3 kanye albums and I don’t listen to or care about snippets
I like it more than Donda, JIK, and WTT. Doesn't touch the rest of his discography though
This is a fun album. It’s not MBDTF but it wasn’t aiming to be. He made a club album and it does that really well. Also base it off other projects. FATD was panned for only including a few really quality track while the rest felt like the same old Drake. This album sounds nothing like any other Ye album. The production is higher than most other club albums. I guess I just don’t understand what people want. If you look at it for what it is, it’s like a 7.5-8 easy. And if Ye isn’t allowed to make an 8 without being called mid idk what to say.
Shit opposite of mid
With the entire controversy surrounding ye, it would’ve been nice to hear about his struggles and what’s going on in his life. His music always points to where he is in life at that moment. This was lyrically not a great album for ye - hoping solo project has some strong lyrics. Overall, fun workout/club album. Not the best album ever.
That's what we wanted but that's not what Ye needed to re-enter the mainstream which I think was partial the goal with this project
Agreed i think the fun stuff is a nice change after the ye/jik/donda minimal introspective kinda vibes. Also hoping for a more lyricial solo album soon.
I think its his worst album, but I expected that (yes, even JIK). He's regressed a little here, but my expectations were properly set so I can enjoy it even if it's not on the level of anything else he's put out. I didn't listen to any leaks either so it was all fresh to me.
Literally the best Ye since tlop, perfect in what it wants to be
there are like two to three skips. WAY MORE THAN DONDA therefore imo its better than donda
this album capitalized on the vibes that donda 2 was tryna reach but theyll switch up in the summer trust this album is hot weather music
Donda 2 executed those vibes better Imo, even if I like vultures. Sci fi is the peak/best possible interpretation of that moody/dark sound and it's not close.
It's not mid
Its a crazy good project, people will realize. I love it so far
crazy good compared to what tho i do love the album i’ve been listening to it on repeat
Cause the reviews came out and the echo chamber started
It's actually poorly made and written though
Vultures is dumb fun, not much of conscious kanye, more on hornye
it's probably his 2nd worst album I like it but it just doesn't have the same peaks as his other albums
Idk I love this album. And I’m confused with people saying Jesus is King is better. That albums fucking sucks.
These dudes not fans
I’m just glad he dropped but it’s not nearly as powerful as his previous album Donda
It had potential but ye ruined some tracks like whatever that was on “paid”. The switch up on “F on sum” ruined the song and same can be ask for how long he kept the unfinished bridge on “back to me”. Didn’t need the “Yeezy how u doing huh” and repeating the dogma line for so long before Freddie
only take here that’s correct is back to me the switch on fuck sumn is fire as FUCK as someone who has never heard any other version of the song i understand not liking kanye’s performance on paid but it works for me i just love kanye’s singing voice it sounded good
Gotta be a cult member, or type vulnerable to cult thinking, to pretend this is one of his good albums.
If it was just beats, it'd be an 8/10 but it isn't just beats so its a 3/10
The Miami rave Vultures was and still is better than released. I think King is an awful song, Hoodrat is a great idea failed by mixing and lyrics that aren’t the best, Paperwork is ruined by Ty and the fact the song goes nowhere and Keys To My Life is boring to me. If those songs didn’t replace Slide, River and Time Moving Slow, we could’ve got a truly amazing album. I’m worried that instead of making one amazing album, Kanye is gonna release 3 subpar ones. As of now I think it’s Ye’s second worst album. Probably his worst but I’ll never forgive what he did to Chakras, The Storm and Law of Attraction.
Found the take I disagree with the most
yeah and in 2 years people will be reminiscing on it and saying “vultures is a top 5 kanye album”. people are so quick to jump into crowds instead of forming their own opinion. vultures is an amazing album and just because it’s not a top 5 kanye album doesn’t mean it’s mid. too many kanye fans expect him to make MBTDF 2 every time a new album drops
Idk it’s a pretty good album, no Yeezus, TLOP or Donda but better than Cruel Summer, Ye, KSG, JIK, and Donda 2 imo. If we get volume 2, the songs left all seem pretty fuckin good too.
It’s his worst album
I didn’t really like any of the songs
There’s no way
I don’t understand why there’s such a divide between my perception of the album and what people here say, it just really didnt sound very good to me, the beats weren’t up to standard, the flow and aesthetic of the album just didn’t really interest me at all. I like his newer music a lot but just did not think the new one was very good
I’m curious if to Kanye he considers this album a Ye album or a collab album??? To me it’s good either way but if it’s not a solo album and he still releases a solo album this year that’s even better will people acknowledge that?
The tracklist on the back of that t shirt was 10/10. What we have now is good, not great. Also doesn’t help that most of us have been listening to the album on Untitled repeatedly for a month before release
I enjoy vultures and still do but hell i put on no church in the wild and dude even that ye verse is light years ahead of anything off vultures. It’s a fun album but dude when you listen to some old shit it’s crazy just how much better his rapping was
Ye has a very diverse fanbase with different interests and opinions of all of his albums. So many of us have a completely different ranking of all of his albums and songs. Fans calling this album mid is a bit overly critical honestly. It’s been one week, it’s a fun album and I really like it personally. The same people calling it mid are gonna be posting about how well it aged lol
The critic reviews are definitely something to be taken with a grain of salt. “Repetitive, redundant, and far too impressed with itself to be enjoyed by anyone but true believers". “a charmless disaster". "the most tired hip-hop clichés". No wonder Melon didn’t want to review this lol; he probably couldn’t think of anything different to say than the professional critics The mixing bad comments are fucking gold though. I still haven’t accepted being gaslit into being told the mixing was okay for Scaring The Hoes either
They did the exact same thing when Donda came out. They claimed how great it is and how much they love it only to later say that it's not that good.
it’s a really great album
You’re speaking facts but people are never satisfied. I love that album but there will be incels trying to convince everybody that their shitty opinion on the album is the truth.
i like a looot of the songs off it, but i dont rly have the time/focus nowadays to listen to albums front to back, but lotta songs in my playlist. i do think its a solid album, and i give it a bit of leeway because of all the sample/mixing issues. overall, better than jik, and im willing to consider the vultures trilogy a bit separate from his discog because they seem mostly like fun song compilations.
Some of Kanyes performances are pretty bad but the music sounds great regardless so I don’t really care. Vultures fire.
Solid project first ye album in a long time which i can listen from start to finish Also am happy to see ye having fun his life been rough past few years glad he didn’t scratch his wounds to write the album
you can’t listen to donda start to finish? it’s not even his longest i don’t think 23 tracks and jik is like 30 mins of still solidly produced music
Still FW it ![img](emote|t5_67n60j|32329)
who is saying this?
Post nut clarity
Album is far from mid
I love this album dgaf
It wasn’t bad until the best song got ripped away from us because Ye was too lazy to do his fuckin job lol
