Reacting to USHER's Super Bowl Halftime Show & ‘VULTURES 1’ | Rap Life Review

[@81BOOKS]

Can’t lie. Ye put that work in and made a dope album independently at that 🔥

[@eaedemark]

Shout out ebro for recognizing real music even tho he doesn't like ye

[@zwelisibiya2248]

Hating on Kanye west must be hard job😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@willlabuffalo6679]

1000%

[@max_sch4462]

His music, yes. As a person it's impossible to like him atp. I kniw he went through a lot etc. and he is funny, but he's serious about most things and he says a LOT of very serious and dangerous bs!

[@BryceLetterman]

Kaynes just misunderstood f*ck you if you don’t like him #team Kayne

[@Jay-bf5iu]

Usher is the best singer/dancer of his generation male or female. He has the unique ability to execute intricate dance sequences while simultaneously executing challenging vocal sequences LIVE (No pre-recorded lead tracks, lip sync, auto-tunes, AI etc.) which makes his half-time performance more impressive and one of the greatest of all time due to the degree of difficulty & quality. When you put performance over preference and combine the level of difficulty with quality, Usher's half-time performance surpasses his predecessors including Dr. Dre, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Rihanna's etc. For years, Usher has been the only mainstream singer/dancer that has TRULY committed to singing & dancing LIVE. His performance was physically the most impressive half-time performances I've ever seen. Despite how physical his performance was in nature, his breath-control & vocal stability was extraordinary. Usher is EXTREMELY underappreciated for an artist of his level. Those who dare criticize his performance typically harbor various biases and/or profoundly ignorant.

You bored to write all that about this topic lol

[@deec3158]

Ye’s album is 🔥

[@reisselpud]

So cool to see Ebro liking Ye's album !

[@owennkuna5802]

It's strange because he said he never like Kanye all along

[@kabelomogale3259]

Truth be told, that Ye & 💲ign album is good.

[@Blakataq]

Vultures went #1 in 109 countries!! For you guys that say it was wack.. you on a lonely hill.

[@shynebayarea510]

That's people listening to it , that doesn't say how it sounds. Do you like Adele music cause she goes number 1 every time in all countries?

[@Blakataq]

@shyne1308 your missing the fact this album is independent, your missing the fact that this had zero play on radio!! Your missing the fact that this is the highest charted album by a independent album. Congradulate these black men yo!!👏

[@shynebayarea510]

@Noche559 that's not impressive to me. Kanye was on a major label for 15 years. It's not like he came in the game independent and did that he had that def jam machine for years. It's more impressive if a real independent artist like brent faiyaz went number 1. That's a true independent artist, congrats on the number 1 album but save that independent talk for someone else

[@shynebayarea510]

@@Blakataq master p was independent doing big on a major level. I salute that

[@kaosaelee3322]

Usher brought the super bowl moments confession era 2024. I'm so happy for him. This was moments for r&b lovers ❤ music listener love music like football people love watching football..

[@Mone333Williams]

I'm just so damn proud of usher I could cry for him...I watched him grow up and to see he's greatness makes me happy for him. He earned his crown 👑❤🫂

[@CindyPinard]

Just thinking who else 45yrs or older (heck or younger) gave us this level of performance dance, vocals, skating, and splits in skates in a half time show? I’m gonna to say it! This was the best “Superbowl Halftime Performance” ever!!!!!

[@the_weekndxo]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@ghostghost266]

Numbers don’t lie,Usher is a master performer and vocalist.

[@AngeBiampandou]

This def was NOT the best. The transitions were alk over the place thanks to Lil Jon being the muusic director. He should've ended the Halftime solo on stage with his 2 additionnal mins left. But ended with Yeah at 13 mins when he got 15 mins. He is not touching Beyoncé, Prince or MJ. The views on KZbin are really low too. The replay value is not the same as those aformentionned

[@jcar93music]

I was with you until the last sentence. Have you watched every Super Bowl halftime show in history to be able to say that?

[@mj3846]

There’s these guys name MJ & Prince who are miles ahead of Usher in just a bout everything

[@TedlaEKHAN]

Ye's album is objectively🔥 Low is allowing his heavy bias to make him sound foolish.

What he got personal with Kanye anyway?? I never heard of dude until this clip

[@hendismutandwa1409]

Man Ebro: You know how to dissect bars....but music neeeh that one caught me off guard🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ShadStu804]

I like that Ebro and Low have real debates ain’t fake.

[@TheTickledTutu]

THIS. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gabemontgomery5003]

Everyone keep trying to play with the Ye album like it’s not good. Name another artist that can have their album come out and removed SEVERAL TIMES when “entertainment” is trying to push Usher,the halftime performer’s album” AND still go globally #1

[@gabemontgomery5003]

Tell me why you haven’t see your favorite reaction youtuber reacting to it ?

[@oresanyaoluwtoyin6823]

Low you are bugging saying that Usher's album is better than Kanye's.

[@maxwellbrown737]

Lowkey’s only amo is to tear black artists down. He hates on Nicki; now Ye. Ye’s album may arguably be the best album this year although it’s only Feb and he has two more installments coming over the next two months. The production on vultures solidifies why Ye is supreme; the album touches my soul. The lyrics are punchy, the samples are top-tier, the features make sense, the rnb influence should be studied. He never misses when it comes to his samples. For Lowkey to say the album has no hits confirms he is truly a hater. Sad.

[@yourfavoritecommentary5028]

Ye's album is the greatest album in 2024 so far. Production and bars🔥 Usher has no chance at #1.

[@mj3846]

Might be best album front to back album in the last few years

[@TuanTran-qq6zs]

Crazy how usher had all this marketing and apple supporting n promoting to help him reach number 1. And kanye as a independent artist just swoops him with no effort

[@justathought8423]

Ryan Upchurch , Blue Gene’s 2 is number one in hip hop and all genres and is pure 🔥 & is a 100% indie

Hating on Kanye is must be very difficult lol 😂😂😂

[@KRAZYRODZILLA]

So in 4 days. He sold out 2 arenas (15 mins) we don’t even know even know the numbers for the box office and more importantly the merch sales those 2 days. Broke records (most countries number 1). Made 20 million in 12hrs from Yeezy Pods. Had superbowl commercial etc… all well being INDEPENDENT.

Every thing will be done possible to suppress those positives

[@regioatl79]

I’m Mexican we moved to the Atlanta metro area in 1996 I was 17 back then I’m about to turn 45 now , been following Usher since he’s great next to MJ , this performance was super I can’t stop watching it he paid great tribute to his culture and to Atlanta ! Having The The Sonic Boom of the South it was so cool man who cares what the world thinks this is for Us

[@Iamchrisshorts]

Come on back to me everyone gotta love

[@Iamchrisshorts]

Vultures is MBDTF reprise it’s nice .. yes fumbled some bars but for most part Ty covered the field and when ye was ye he was on fire 🔥. Goo album def not his worst

[@soundwave710]

vultures is nothing like MBDTF. the production on Vultures wasn’t hitting. it’s like MBDTF has a team and producers and a whole avengers team on his back. VULTURES is like Ye doing everything on his own and having a couple samples from MBDTF. it ain’t the same

[@indycarzz]

Kanye never got such exposure as Usher and still got number 1! Respect for that.

[@yxungyj]

Finally someone tells low that he has no taste in music I wish it would’ve been Dj Akademics who told him cause he would’ve told him more crazier

[@rnbloverz3587]

45years old... Greatest of all time

[@Cosmonautchronicles]

Low not having a word to say about Freddie’s verse proves to me that be didn’t listen to the album.

[@gretchenbray2268]

Prince was the best. Singing Purple Rain while it was raining. God ordained. Then Dr. Dre and company.

😎 Usher can turn to ashes now that he had superboawled his career, to rebirth as a phoenix on another music genra. 🤓

[@MatisseOne]

Why is bro in the blue jump suit capping so hard with Kanye’s album. The album is really good and continues to grow with each listen. Bro is just blinded with hate

[@iMoha46]

Low emotional af

[@Ms110209]

Agree💯

[@mj3846]

Objectively this is a top 3 Ye album. I gave it 12-15 listens so far, I can’t find no skips. Production is a 10. The feature placements is a 10. I didn’t think this mash between Ty & Ye would work, but it really did. Kanye’s ability to transition from Carnival to Good don’t die to Problematic explains why he’s the Greatest artist in music. I don’t know another hip hop artist who could pull off Good don’t die. MBDTF is Great but the last song is skip worthy. No saying this is better, but it has NO Skips

[@patrickgarrity5529]

Love the banter between the 2. Ebro don’t f around

[@leon.lonnie.love912]

saying usher album good .. but ye album whack .. gotta stop it 🤣

Low 1 - Ebro 0 Low is absolutely right. Ebro always trying to shit on opinions that differ from his.

[@lovelegacy500]

Michael was Album of the Year Bro....I listened to alot of Music! That Album was Amazing 👏

[@TheSkipAJ]

1:36 guy in the crowd casually with their Apple Vision Pro on lol

[@jerryjames6531]

I support Kanye West, and always will. Just because he has different views from other people, people try to drag him. I don’t honestly think he ever means to to heard anyone. But you have to understand the man ain’t out here physically harming anybody. His album is straight 🔥 . Love that album all the way through. Him and Ty Dolla $ign work very well together. And the song “Do It” is gonna be a certified club banger if the DJs and the media allow it to be. Just watch.

[@thereignofhoe]

Do we base how good films are based on their "Replay Value"? Can you imagine, "12 Years a Slave was aight, but it has no replay value!"

Nah next Super Bowl is Paramore.

YOU CAN TELL BY HIS BODY LANGUAGE AND SHOULDER SHRUGS , HOW SUPER DEFENSE HE IS HE HATING ON THE VULTURES ALBUM , TBH THIS ALBUM IS GREAT , I HAVE YET TO GO BACK TO AN OLD YE ALBUM THATS HOW I KNOW ITS GOOD , THIS ALBUM HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON IT..

[@shayooooo]

Its funny when ppl say the project has no replay value, and yet goes on to become #1 in over 70 countries, in spite of the obstacles set in by streaming companies. This project is either really good for listeners, or completely unlistenable to those who find Ye to be a villainising idea that cannot be seperated from his work.

[@abstudio24]

A 46 year old man 10 years deep still dropping music at this level indepedently can’t be appreciated? So Kanye went independent and he bout to get number one album on billboard and number one single over Beyonce(Parkwood/Columbia/Jayz) and Usher(Gamma) independently while shadow banned on Apple music front page, no label machine, no radio plays, mainstream media coverage and but its F him for not following the crowd.. When was the last time that happened? If low cant elaborate, I get it. This is not hate this is wack.

[@SwiftGuyver.]

Agree with everything you said except I gotta make one correction, Ye is 20+ years deep into his music career not 10.

[@VegasSportsGaming]

That’s why as a 45 old black man I said most of the real black men like my daddy and grandfather passed away. No way would they ever take another group of people side over a black man’s. No matter what

[@AngeBiampandou]

Beyoncé is going number pne with 4 days of tracking baby. She outsold him

[@iampatrice33]

Ye, (Kanye) is an actual ROYAL and comes from Egyptian lineage. He is in my bloodline. Ye has a ton of spiritual power. Royal power. The US Government and FBI acknowledge our bloodline. I speak publicly about this. Stay tuned for EXTREME changes to occur in multiple industries.

Alicia Keys was honestly the best moment of the whole performance for me. Y’all are harping on literally a millisecond. She looked amazing in that sparkling red outfit and she had the musicality to match. The Usher ass kiss on this broadcast was a little cringe..

Saying Alicia Keys did a good job is as revisionist history as how they autotuned the recording of her voice on the playback. She sounded terrible. That entire part could've been cut out and devoted to giving us other music or longer songs in the medley. You Make Me Wanna could've gone there 😒😣😩. #neverforget

[@MsAdri89]

The halftime show was great, the ratings hike I feel are due to the superbowl being shown on Nickelodeon, Paramount, CBS and Univision (biggest latino network) also alot of Justin Beiber fans tuned in because they hope he perform.

[@juniegyllenhaal3937]

I’m truly appalled the Shakira , Jlo show don’t get the love it deserves. Definitely better than the Rihanna or Dre show. Easy

Low is always contrary to the wave n good music. I don’t think he truly can analyze music, stick to bars. Where do I interview for his job?!.!

Omg. Lol it was not cause of usher... it was cause of Taylor. I'm not a fan but that's the truth. Usher wasn't there when they broke a record for views a few weeks ago, Taylor was and her boyfriends team. Stop the usher cap.

Love usher, but I don’t believe he specifically was the reason for the record high viewership. Even if it was someone else, it still would’ve had record viewership, there was something in the air this year. They knew in advance it was gonna break records because of Taylor Swift alone. Add Usher on top of that and this season? Perfect storm. ⛈️
