Kanye West Announces “Vultures” Listening Party In Paris

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign will be repping their new collab album Vultures for the rest of the year, it seems. Moreover, the former just announced another listening party -– sorry, “listening experience” -– for the project or its supposed sequels, this time in Paris’ Accor Arena next Sunday (February 25). Earlier this week, the duo announced two other listening events in Italy for Vultures, scheduled for February 22 in Milan and February 24 in Bologna. As such, it looks like they really want to ramp things up ahead of Vultures 2. Whether that even ends up dropping is anyone’s guess, but fans are holding onto hope.

Furthermore, European fans may want to hop onto these parties if they’re big Ye and Ty fans, because they don’t know for sure when they’ll get to listen to Vultures in its intended form. Of course, the release of this album came marred with sample clearance issues, distribution disputes, disappearances from streaming services, and a whole lot of drama. As is typical for a Kanye West rollout, it was the hottest topic for a moment, and then everything just kind of fell back into place. Unfortunately, we can’t really pinpoint what there is to learn from all this.

For folks on the other side of the Atlantic, though, they might have another chance to see Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign perform. Rolling Loud California announced that they will perform at the festival on March 14, which is days after Vultures 2 is supposed to come out. Will this sequel project actually come out, and will the duo actually show up to perform at this rap festival? Again, it’s a tough call to make, and betting on the Chicago artist’s word is mostly a fool’s errand.

Meanwhile, the first installment’s commercial performance has been unsurprisingly impressive, although Billboard doesn’t seem to count it for its charts. Maybe they don’t want to give Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign any more press for the antisemitic bigotry associated with the rollout. Or, some fans think, their distribution model could’ve played a part, but either way, fans are still bumping it. We’ll see how these listening events keep the story going. For more news and the latest updates on Vultures, stick around on HNHH.

Kanye West Compares Himself To R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, Jesus & Diddy On “Vultures”

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign held their album listening party for Vultures last night (February 8) at Chicago’s United Center… and of course, it didn’t end up dropping. Who’s really surprised was our first question, but as they previewed more and more tracks, more pressing matters emerged. Moreover, there was a particular track that caught many listeners’ ears, and its title going around social media right now is “Carnival.” In it, the Chicago rapper makes reference to various “canceled” individuals, particularly entertainers accused of sex crimes, and as usual, drops a comparison to Jesus Christ, for good measure. ‘Cause, you know, it’s Kanye.

“Anybody p***ed off, gotta make them drink the urine/ Now, I’m Ye Kelly, b***h/ Now I’m Bill Cosby, b***h/ Now I’m Puff Daddy rich,” Kanye West raps on the previewed song. “That’s ‘Me Too’ me rich/ First she say she suck my d**k/ Then, she say she ain’t suck my d**k/ She ’gon take it up the a** like a ventriloquist/ I mean, since Taylor Swift, since I had the Rollie on the wrist/ I’m the new Jesus, b***h, I turn water into Cris’.”

Furthermore, this is alluding to Kanye West’s tendency to rope his personal life and circumstances into his music, whether specifically for his antisemitism or the backlash surrounding it, which is why he mentions movements like #MeToo. Whether or not you’re a fan of this, it’s hardly surprising or notable anymore given everything that’s happened up to this point. Even though this song didn’t drop officially, fans still have some new Ye material to chew on, for better or worse. He and Ty Dolla Sign dropped the “Vultures” music video, plus visuals for “Talking / Once Again.”

Meanwhile, with another listening party in New York tonight (February 9), maybe this is when the album will actually drop. Until then, Vultures seems more like a fleeting idea, performance art concept, or just a dream that we’re still living in. With bars like these, we just hope that there’s another side to the story to keep the balance. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, stick around on HNHH.

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign will be dropping off Vultures on Friday. Overall, this is going to be one of the biggest albums of the entire year. However, it is unknown if it will actually come out on time. Furthermore, this is just the first volume. There will be other volumes coming out over the course of the next two months, and fans are excited to hear all of it. Yesterday, Ye dropped the music video for “Talking / Once Again.” The first of these tracks featured none other than North West.

Tonight, Kanye and Ty will be at the United Center in Chicago where they will offer a listening party for the new album. Last night, it was revealed that there would actually be another big release party. This time around, it will take place on Friday night at the UBS Arena in New York. The album will already be out by then, however, this is still a unique experience for fans who want to go. Unfortunately, it is going to be expensive. According to BrooklynVegan, tickets start at $140 USD. Considering how TicketMaster works, those prices could skyrocket based on early demand.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Announce “Vultures, Volume 1” Listening Party In New York

by

Fans are only days away from hearing the first installment of Kanye West’s new album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures. The release will follow plenty of delays and teasing. To celebrate the eagerly-anticipated drop, Ye announced a listening party in Chicago this week, which is scheduled to take place on February 8 at the United Center. Now, he’s announced yet another listening party, this time in New York. The event will take place at the UBS Arena in Belmont Park on February 9, 2024.

“Fans will have the rare opportunity to experience ‘Vultures, Volume 1’ in a high-fidelity audio and visual showcase, crafted by YE and Ty Dolla Sign,” a description on the venue’s website reads. “This event marks a historic moment as attendees will listen to the album together with the artists and album collaborators.”

New York Listening Party Scheduled For February 9

Tickets for the New York listening party go on sale tomorrow. Those eager to secure their spots should get in early, as tickets for the Chicago listening party sold out almost immediately. This is far from the only exciting performance Ye has lined up, however. Recently, he took to social media to share that he was having trouble getting venues to book him, which resulted in countless well-connected friends reaching out. Eventually, he seemed to have gotten enough dates together for a world tour, though the shows are tentative at the time of writing. The tour would include dates in Atlanta, Chicago, Toronto, Tokyo, Dubai, and more.

A screenshot has also been making its rounds online, showing a text message from someone seemingly telling Ye that the Corcovado in Brazil, the Great Wall of China, and the Giza Pyramids would “love to have” him. What do you think of Kanye West announcing a Vultures, Volume 1 listening party in New York? Where do you think he should perform next?

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign To Host “Vultures” Volume 1 Listening Party In Chicago

by

Kanye West’s Vultures is just three days away from dropping. His collaborative tape with Ty Dolla $ign has been mercilessly pushed back, tracklists have changed, and volumes have been added. It would not be a Ye release if things were not somewhat chaotic. Fans can finally expect this thing to finally release on Friday, February 9. The volume point is important because there are three of them. They will be dispersed throughout the next two months.

There are tons of exciting features on Kanye West’s Vultures such as Freddie Gibbs, Quavo, Lil Durk, Future, and more. The fact that we are receiving three separate albums is exciting and also familiar. Ye did this back in 2018 when he went on one of his most memorable trio runs. Kids See Ghosts, ye, and contributions to Pusha T’s DAYTONA presented some of his best work. Hopefully, these Vulture volumes will replicate that excellence to some degree.

A post shared by Ty Dolla $ign (@tydollasign)

We have some more riveting news about the rollout from HipHopDX. According to them, Ty Dolla $ign and Mr. West have announced the listening party details. They did so on their Instagram accounts with two simple posters. One says “Vultures United Center Chicago 02 08 24.” The next slide shows the number “1.” This indicates it will exclusively be for the first entry of the album, so there could be two more for the subsequent volumes. If this goes through on Thursday, this could be one of the biggest music events in the last few years.

What are your thoughts on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign hosting a listening party for Vultures and its first volume in Chicago this Thursday? Will they finally follow through with this, why or why not? Will this first installment be the best out of the three? Will this be as iconic as The Life of Pablo listening party?

Kevin Gates Hosts Listening Party For “The Ceremony”

by

Kevin Gates threw a lavish black-tie gala as a listening party for his upcoming album The Ceremony. Footage released online showed a sweet moment between Gates and his wife Dreka. Gates appeared in high spirits as he prepared for the industry to hear his new album. Gates married Dreka in 2015. Last year, he shared an incredibly NSFW video of her giving birth to his Instagram page.

The Ceremony is Gates’ fourth studio album and first since 2022’s Khaza. That album peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard charts. Both of Gates’ previous albums before Khaza, peaked within the top five. The Ceremony is set to be released on January 26. Are you looking forward to The Ceremony? Let us know.

Kevin Gates And Finnese2tymes Get Real

Elsewhere, comments made by Kevin Gates and Finesse2Tymes during a recent livestream have led to people speculating about the sexuality of the two men. The speculation primarily stems from Gates asking Finessee if he would “put his feet in the air”. Finesse responds by saying that “if I thought something wrong with you, I would put your f-cking feet in the air”. Many people have taken this as reference to a sexual act. However, it’s more likely a threat of violence. Based on common street slang, to “put your feet in the air” is to kill someone. Finesse is more likely saying that he would not struggle to end Gates if the situation demanded it.

“He literally means “kill me” knocked off yo feet. Put my feet in the air. Yall WANT men to be gay and that’s the weirdest shit to me,” one person lamented. “Y’all so strange he basically say If he ever cross him out his feet in the air as in unalive him and hold him accountable for his actions,” added another. “Clearly he said can u send me to god if i break any codes that’s why he said hold me accountable,” agreed a third.

Kanye West Blasts Jay-Z, Drake & More In “Vultures” Party Rant: Watch

by

Well, given the rant that Kanye West went on at his listening party for his Vultures album with Ty Dolla $ign in Vegas last night (Thursday, December 14), maybe the album isn’t coming out after all. Moreover, he blasted a whole cavalcade of people and entities in a lengthy 10-minute rant, which ended with him remarking that everyone in the room with him in that moment was fake. Eventually, the Chicago rapper kicked YesJulz out, who was the one streaming this whole thing, after going off on Jay-Z, Drake, Adidas, and so many more for not supporting him for the past year. It seems like this moment is the culmination of his antisemitic reclusion that began a year ago.

Furthermore, Kanye called out “Jewish n***as” who call his rants “episodes.” “Y’all ain’t stop that Adidas s**t,” he said during one point of his rant. “Y’all n***as let Adidas crash the richest n***a of all time. I put up one tweet. Then, Ari Emanuel put, ‘Oh, we gotta drop this n***a,’ and all n***as just watched. The only n***a that had the Trump hat. The only n***a that went and got them billions, the only n***a that break through all kinds of ideas in fashion. I’ve been called a f***ot so many times for tight jeans. I got n***as from Chicago that I take care of that still try to sell me. Who you think the old man call? When we put Drake on stage, who you think the old man call? You know what I’m saying?

“N***a just cause I had a car, n***a,” Kanye West continued. “F**k everybody, n***a. That’s what I’m trying to say to you n***as right f***ing now, n***a. Drake, this is what you been waiting for. Jay-Z, this is what you been waiting for. Adidas, this is what you been waiting for. Kim, this is what you been waiting for. n***as be hanging around these n***as for the money on some Mike Rubin s**t. I slap the s**t out of Mike Rubin I see that n***a, man. You know what I’m saying? Yo, f**k these n***as bro. I’m on my Farrakhan Don s**t right now bro. Because guess what? These Yeezy’s gonna sell. They sabotaged the show today, they sabotaged the Instagram. They cut off the f**king Adidas contract. Then they wanna go get light-skinned Ye. You get what I’m saying?

Meanwhile, this rant comes amid a new rollout for Yeezy’s next shoe, more excitement and disappointment around his Ty Dolla $ign collab album, and so much more. It seems like the 46-year-old is making his grand return to the mainstream for better or worse. We’ll see how he decides to wrap up 2023.

Kanye West & Kid Cudi Squash Beef & Reunite At “Vultures” Listening Party

by

It seems like all is well between Kanye West and Kid Cudi after the two reunited at last night’s Vultures listening party. As Ye and Ty Dolla $ign gear up to drop their forthcoming album, which has faced its fair share of ups and downs, it appears that they’ve revamped the tracklist after its initial debut in Miami earlier this week. In Vegas, where listening session #2 took place, a video surfaced of Ye and Cudi embracing each other with excitement The two rappers have decided to put their differences aside and linked for a new collaboration.

As Ye and Ty Dolla $ign played a few new records from their forthcoming album, alongside North West, they stunned fans when they debuted a new song together featuring Cudi. The record, titled “GUN TO MY HEAD,” was performed by Ye and Ty Dolla $ign, shocking fans once Cudi’s vocals kicked in. Although a new tracklist for the project hasn’t surfaced, it seems like Ye and Ty Dolla $ign pulled out all the stops for their forthcoming project.

Kid Cudi & Kanye West Beef Ends

If you recall, the two had a huge falling out in 2022 that spilled into the public eye. Ye threw some shots during his infamous Instagram tirade while Cudi vowed that he would never work with the “dinosaur” again.” Ultimately, the two made it clear that they still appreciate each other after Ye debuted a new collaboration with his Kids See Ghosts collaborator during his chaotic Vultures listening party last night.

Hopefully, Vultures will hit streaming services soon. As of last night, Ye was still trying to clear verses including one from Nicki Minaj on “New Body.” Unfortunately, Nicki wasn’t necessarily willing to do so, hopping on Instagram Live to shut down Kanye’s request. Their long-awaited track might not appear on Vultures but regardless, we’re excited to hear it in its entirety. Check out the snippet of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Gun To My Head” ft. Kid Cudi above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments. Do Kanye and Kid Cudi have another hit on their hands?

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “Vultures” Rave, Where To Watch Vegas Stream

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are gearing up for the release of their new joint album, Vultures. As they approach the release, they’ve been previewing the project at some listening events, most recently giving fans a taste of what’s to come in Miami. They’re scheduled to preview the album in Las Vegas next, and it seems as though fans outside of Vegas will be able to stream it.

A flyer featuring some cryptic hints about the event has been making its way around Twitter recently, and fans have made their own inferences about what it could mean. One account shared their own interpretation of the flyer, suggesting that the event would take place yesterday (December 13). That clearly didn’t happen, however, calling some of their other interpretations into question.

Yeezy.com Rumored To Host Vultures Stream

Regardless, fans are now speculating that the event will take place tonight, and be streamed on Yeezy.com. For now, this is unconfirmed, as is mostly everything in the world of Ye. Vultures was expected to drop this Friday (December 15), but that could also be up in the air. A few days ago, a pre-save link for the album appeared on Apple Music, but it has now disappeared, according to NFR Podcast. This latest development has led to rumors that the album will be delayed, which doesn’t appear to be out of the question considering the Chicago-born artist’s history. Regardless, fans are looking forward to seeing what he and Ty have in store for them.

Aside from the potential upcoming release, Ye also recently launched a new website. The site, Yews.News, features various articles pertaining to politics and current affairs. It even highlights a piece about Doritos launching a new Nacho-flavored spirit with Empirical. Are you hoping that Kanye West comes through with a listening event tonight? Are you looking forward to his new joint album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West Poses With Playboi Carti After The Latter Shows Up Late To Listening Party

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are gearing up to drop a brand-new album this Friday, December 15th. Overall, it still remains to be seen whether or not the album will actually drop. Of course, Ye has a history of delaying his projects. Typically, he will debut an unfinished album and then continue working on it for months. He has done this numerous times before, and consequently, fans are very skeptical that he will drop. Having said that, he seems pretty serious this time around.

Last night, Kanye held a listening party event in Miami. There were a ton of stars who showed up for the party. Lil Baby, Kodak Black, Freddie Gibbs, and Offset were all there. We heard tracks with Baby and Gibbs, while even getting a verse from North West. Needless to say, this is a project with a ton of big names. One person who is also on the album is Playboi Carti. Unfortunately, he did not make it to the listening party on top. That said, he did eventually get there, as evidenced by the picture below.

In the photo, you can see that Carti is wearing a unique outfit, at least for him. Furthermore, Ye is wearing his black KKK mask that was a fixture from last night’s performance. Overall, it was a very interesting look for both of these men. It would have been nice for Carti to have been at the party, but alas, Carti has never been one for timeliness. With Carti teasing new music quite a bit as of late, it will be interesting to see how his feature sounds. We could probably expect his new deep vocal register to make an appearance.
