Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Track Taken Off Spotify After Donna Summer Estate Complaint

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign recently dropped off their new album Vultures 1. In fact, the album came out over the weekend and fans have been eager to give it more listens. Overall, the release was a bit confusing. It was dropped off on Apple Music and Amazon Music, but not Spotify. Eventually, the album came out on Spotify but there was a period where it had been taken off of Apple Music. This is the norm with a lot of Kanye releases, so fans were not all that surprised by the confusion.

Subsequently, the estate of Donna Summer spoke out about how the song “I Feel Love” was interpolated on “Good (Don’t Die).” As the story goes, Kanye wanted to sample it but was denied permission. Consequently, Ye allegedly took matters into his own hands and used AI to get what he wanted. “Kanye West… asked permission to use Donna Summer’s song I Feel Love, he was denied… he changed the words, had someone re sing it or used AI but it’s I Feel Love… copyright infringement!!!” the estate said.

According to Billboard, the song has been taken off of Vultures 1, although just the Spotify version. Every other streaming platform still has the song, which has brought about some confusion. Whatever the case, it is clear that the Donna Summer complaint has made an impact on the album. Only time will tell whether or not Kanye will be able to put the track back on his project.

Homeboy Sandman Is Flowing “Real Good” On New Single: Stream

by

Homeboy Sandman is back, bouncier, and livelier than ever on his newest single, the funky and catchy “Real Good.” Moreover, you might know the Queens lyricist for previous amazing work, such as the recently released Now! tape with Darko The Super and his conceptually released project, 12 Days Of Christmas & Día De Los Reyes. This time around, he trades the boom-bap flows and dense subject matter for some more tools in his arsenal: vibrant delivery, some cheeky lines, and above all, a lot of fun. It opens up with brash brass and a simple but enveloping piano melody, and steady drums and snaps come in to give the cut some more weight and swing.

Furthermore, Homeboy Sandman is able to flow over this peppy production with a lot of personality, adopting a casual but somewhat snarky vocal tone to spit his bars with. “Real Good” is also a superb display of rhyme scheme adherence and creative follow-ups with internal rhymes, all while sticking to his artistically pure and un-compromised lyrical stance. Not only that, but the “Get Yours” MC doesn’t slouch on the hook: “How you doing, Boy Sand? Real good, real good” will likely be one of the catchiest choruses you’ll find this week within hip-hop. But the bars don’t slouch on here, and the verses are still the most exciting part of the song. In this era of rap, such qualities seem harder to find than ever.

Homeboy Sandman’s “Real Good”: Listen

Meanwhile, Aesop Rock’s frequent collaborator is so prolific that we’re sure this isn’t the end of excellent singles from him in 2024. We might even get a couple of projects if we’re lucky, although we wouldn’t want to pressure Homeboy Sandman like that. You can tell that if he didn’t really think about this song, he might’ve acted against it, and we’re glad taking one’s time with art results in these gems. If you haven’t heard “Real Good” yet, you can find it on your preferred streaming service, but you should support it on Bandcamp here. As always, peep some standout bars below and log back into HNHH for more great hip-hop releases around the clock.

Quotable Lyrics
I don’t chase green, I don’t pay to play,
But I eat greens and train like a green beret,
And got a hundred million ways that I raise the stakes,
Only to rise to the occasion and save the day
