Joe Budden's HONEST Album Review for ‘Vultures’ by Kanye & Ty$

[@CHAMPDOGZ]

so Ye over & over topped Usher with a big fanbase himself & with the Superbowl Half Time Mega endorsement behind the album, that actually speaks alot

[@BosleyBeats]

Thank you. Thank you for having a brain!!! Facts with all controversy he’s still the king dominating

[@_blankfacelilniggafromtheg3885]

i guess kinda, but noone been checking for new usher music since he started doing them EDM joints with Swedish House Mafia type shits and his last Platinum was in 2012

[@DumbBaby]

Ye is one of those people. For every seemingly retarded and obnoxious thing hes ever said or done, for his ENTIRE career, hes backed it up to a point thats almost unbelievable. No rapper is close when it comes to consistent critical and commercial success over the last 20 years. Its unheard of for someone to handle mental issues as notable as his and just never really falter. Apart from the Donda and Jesus albums (which still objectively sounded good) every other album hes made is considered vlose to a classic either by popular consensus or simply through their influence. He became what hw said he would be. Ill forever be a fan, mans a legend.

[@steppababynupe]

0:58 😂😂😂😂😂 "you cant be here"

[@juju-vl7oj]

Idk if anyone will read this but I wrote an analysis of the album because I think it’s misunderstood and actually is a concept album.. Keep in mind the first single Ye says “got pregnant in the 3 some so whose baby is it?” And he f’d Scooters bish, Scooter Braun known for screwing artist on their masters etc Track 1 choir sing “ I hope he’s big and bright and strong” Track 4 ..”Once again the clouds are gatherin to release what they held in” Clouds are metaphor for dark thoughts . Rain is a metaphor for the manifestation of those dark thoughts troubles and pain. Track 5- Ty sings- heart was broken , I am frozen. Ye prays for a beautifulbigtittybuttnakedwoman (Bianca) to fall out the sky not rain.. but that is just his sex addiction talking. Kanye is a self admitted sex addict and he has said before sex addiction comes from trying to cover up pain ( all addictions are) Track 6- you look like a piece of Hallelujah. (He manifested the woman to fall out the sky) Tracks 6-8. And 10-12 Are Ye living a cold loveless life of just sex and transactional relationships with women lyrically. He’s in Yeezus mode which is why he includes the Mike Tyson interlude about how Ye has mental issues (I’m a God) ends track 6 Track 12 - (i’m the new Jesus bish) I’m a God famous track from Yeezus an album about Ye being a sex addict similar to tracks 6-12 on Vultures. In the middle of the those tracks is track 9 Burn - her love is dangerous. Ye- who’s not entertained by my pain who ain’t cash a check off my name. I burned 8 billion to take off my chains. Chains in hip hop are called- ICE What happens when the clouds release rain and the environment is cold? It turns to ICE. Track 13 after Carnival is Beg Forgiveness . Ye realizes he’s gone too far with the lifestyle he’s been in track 6-12 in Yeezus mode- What if I wake and i can’t feel my heartbeat..Ye’s verse says “don’t let your moment pass you by” , “100% covered in ICE” - Back to me Ty sings this is more than just a moment.. I am FROZEN Track 14- Good don’t die - Ye sings got my heart on ICE don’t die. Back to how this is set up Track 2. Ye raps - slow down you on your way to an overdose- it’s about his addictions - caused by pain it’s about the divorce with Kim- seeing her with other men. Ever since I lost my mom you were like my foster mom- “You already know I’m impulsive and another baby is my end goal” - . If you’re impulsive and want to make babies that means sex addiction.. uncontrolled sex not for love. Track 3 - Ye sings “Roxanne” in a desperate voice yearning for love.. but for her it’s just a job ain’t that a shame- she’s just here to get paid. And Ye is just shooting Billy blanks and can’t get any one pregnant for his end goal of a baby therefore he’s just making money to provide material things for the woman he’s with and get laid- feed his sex addiction. Also note the silly voice he raps with is the same voice he used in the Alex Jones interview (Net and Yahoo) his last interview before getting “cancelled” Track 4 Talking features North for a reason. There’s 2 songs made about North- Violent Crimes - a song about how Ye imagines her growing up and being surrounded by savages and monsters who use her for sex - the way Ye used to treat women . Also Only One- a song about Ye’s mom singing to him and North- Hello Mari , how ya doin? I think the storm ran out of rain the clouds are movin. Track 5-Yeezy how ya doin huh? Ty sings - Once again the cloud the clouds are gathering to release what they held in - and his verse same theme as Violent Crimes , Ty afraid his daughter grows up living the lifestyle he used to live. Now the bookends The Album Cover Track 1 STARS Track 13 Problematic Track 14 KING On the cover Ye wears a Jason mask representing that he’s playing the villain role on Vultures. Like Jason he’s the guy the industry keeps trying to kill but he keeps coming back. Also it could be that we don’t even view this as the real Kanye West anymore , it could be someone else behind the mask or his entire face and body is all covered up like he was metaphorically burned alive in the media backlash trying to destroy his reputation. Bianca is facing the other direction which recalls the cover of Life of Pablo . A family at a church at a wedding next to a picture of a big booty IG model representing that albums conflict of choosing God and family or a life of fame , sex and ego . This might be a stretch but I also think Bianca is turned around to remind us of Kim because Kim during the video for Wolves on the life of Pablo had the same slicked back black hair . That song is about how Ye and Kim accept each other despite their past relationship history and Ye will do anything to protect Saint and North from the Wolves but in this case the wolves are now Vultures. The album is actually using Ye’s struggles with sex addiction as a metaphor for the being cancelled , the culture , the industry , and comparing himself to problematic figures in the industry ( Stars) cancelled for dehumanizing acts towards women . R Kelly, Bill Cosby, P Diddy, Chris Brown, Columbine shooters were incels who were mad they couldn’t get girls.. Ye’s other addiction or impulse control problem is his inability to bite his tongue. Which is the cause of his cancellation and he has said that and his *orn addiction led to his divorce.. Carnival- they served us the *orn since the day we was born. Ye for a long time has been connecting the dots that the industry uses the black entertainers like how the black entertainers who live a problematic lifestyle use women. It’s a transactional relationship with no love . The industry makes money of the lyrics of rappers who rap about killing each other , doing drugs , drinking and treating women like objects. It leads to fatherless homes, single mothers who can’t provide for their kids and be around them all the time , so then the kids in the hood often are looking for a sense of family and male role models through gangs and then they end up in Jail. Or seeing the rappers who make bad choices as examples because they are perceived as cool because they make money and get all the women. It all revolves around money- women are naturally attracted to men with money because it provides for the children, but the men who have the money use their money for power over women often are not there for the children and are just using them for sex because of their own pain.. The industry above all who capitalize off of the artist usually are generational wealth , they have families , and they are just using the system making money off of black peoples pain because they are greedy. So who are the VULTURES- the men using the women for sex? The women using the rappers for money? The rappers who rap about gang violence and objectifying women because it makes them money? Or is it the system of greed? That’s why Ye ripped up the contracts and burned 8 billion by calling out the system and the fact he’s still King shows he outsmarted the system by using it to be #1 again. Vultures 1 is just step one of 3 . I just F’d the world raw she needs a morning after.PROBLEMATIC But in the end I see that the song King is purposeful contrast to Jesus is King . This Vultures era is showing Kanye in a state where he doesn’t have God - he calls himself the new Jesus and it’s no longer Jesus is King it’s I am the King. So on one level he triumphed over the system and survived to have a number 1 album but the Vultures version of Ye is still lost and Godless at the end which sets up where he will start Vultures 2 at still living in that lifestyle of coping with the pain and perhaps Vultures 3 is when God will be reintroduced to the picture.

I was hoping to open it and it be a joke but nah this nigga wrote an analysis

[@trvrboggs]

All this writing for no reason lmao…

[@juju-vl7oj]

@@trvrboggs lmao 😂 fair enough. Hopefully the 5 people who liked the comment read it.The purpose is hopefully those who like reading will think about the album differently now knowing the concepts and maybe enjoy it even more . But of course you don’t have to read it lol

[@phantomggg]

Good observations. I wanna hear dissect podcast break these themes down

[@juju-vl7oj]

@@phantomggg same there’s always details I miss tbh ..I miss the Watching the Throne podcast as well. Listening to that was when I first understood how Ye constructs narratives in his albums.

[@Mxrclxrk]

He is just doing what he feels. Period!

[@tebonete]

dope album gets better every listen

[@torinchildress5546]

Reports: he spent one million because the add was only in particular markets: LA, Chicago and Miami.

[@enis4861]

Last year Joe said he won't review Kanye projects anymore.

[@FuxwitLim]

I hate Parks soooooo much. 🔥🔥🔥

[@rezsurfer2808]

Parks is Awesome!!! 💥💥💥💥

[@YeMyGoat]

8:24 at least HE knows what you talking about ❤

[@jamerv777smerf]

Kanye is a producer first. His music is always gonna sound good. His rapping tho 😤man's could use some work or better writers to compensate

[@bootlegvibranium9720]

Yo Ice be careful! Fly God ain't doing no lil BS!👍🏾

[@TruStauri]

All I listen to lately is Westside Gunn and Kanye

[@mikesilmon4609]

Joe. Respect for holding friends down. I don’t know ya’ll got all the right voices. Check what Mase and Cam doing by. Don’t gotta bite, but you can diversify

[@VONSOLOx]

I think Kanye’s verses were solid tbh

[@lyricquinn]

I agree with Ish, it doesn’t feel genuine bc if you wanted all this to be affordable, why sign a multimillion dollar contract with Adidas? How long was you gon b working with them for them to get their investment back?!

[@sdot7117]

The $20 sale is just so he can build his email list for future merch marketing. Adidas owns the prior email list.

[@muman1]

Kanye did not lose his core fan base, and whatever fans he lost, he gained their replacements and change since he left Kim Kardashian.
