{album review #5} - {VULTURES 1} - {VULTURES/KANYE WEST & TY DOLLA SIGN}

the first 4 songs were good (STARS, KEYS TO MY LIFE, PAID, TALKING) BACK TO ME might be the worst song on the album because of kanye's annoying fucking BBTBNWJDFOTSYK verse if you can even call it one, at least freddie gibbs saves it with a great technical verse. HOODRAT is just god awful with the mixing and kanye and ty sound like they are struggling to keep the rhythm. The production on DO IT is just boring until the end of the song with the YG verse which saves the track for me with the old-school sounding bit. PAPERWORK is another highlight for me, a very simple track but probably the most hard hitting one on the album, with the brazilian funk sample in the chorus. BURN is great as well with kanye returning to his roots for once, way too short though. FUK SUMN is extremely unfinished sounding and though hype at first kanye AND TRAVIS somehow underperform on this track as well. carti is the best part of that track for me. VULTURES is probably my favorite track on the album, simply because of ty dolla sign's AMAZING verse at the end of the song, and overall this is where kanye shined the most. and fun fact: charli xcx uses the same sample in the end of the song in her song "Everything Is Romantic". CARNIVAL despite being a hit, is kind of boring to me. kanye's verse is shit, ty dolla sign sounds out of tune with the rest of the song as usual, and carti is okay but not his best, rich the kid does a great job being the introductory verse though. beg forgiveness is great but still sounding unfinished as hell. problematic and king i dont even want to talk about because its so fucking shit that i dont even want to try to listen to those entire songs again.

overall this album is carried by the features and production. there were a few great songs but for me the bad outweighs the good in this case. plus kanye being antisemetic a bit was annoying because he keeps digging himself in a god damn hole. i like the jpegmafia inclusion in the production side though, glad he is getting more mainstream attention!

and one last thing, ty dolla sign sounds like shit on this. he sounds like hes AI generated and his voice barely matches the tracks he is on, especially on carnival he comes in with an out of tuned "DOLLA SIGN!1" which just makes me cringe

anyways, i dont even include this as apart of kanye's discography, it ended at donda for all i know. 

listen to any other of his albums this one sucks 

RANKING: 4/10

Carnival could have been big with a different main lead. Still bumping to it but I agree with your review.
