Kanye West Makes Tweaks To These “VULTURES 2” Tracks Amid Quality Complaints From Fans

by

“VULTURES 2 AVAILABLE ON ALL DSPS. UPDATED SONGS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN REAL TIME”. That is the message that still reads across Kanye West’s yeezy.com site amid the release of VULTURES 2. He shared that news the night of the album’s release, August 3, after fans were voicing their frustrations all day. Many have been dubbing this his worst project of his career thanks to poor mixing, vapid performances, and etc. This is something that the Georgia multi-hyphenate has done before, à la The Life Of Pablo. While there are quite a bit of people out there who feel these changes will help improve V2, others think there’s no saving it.

Regardless of what side you’re on in this ongoing discussion, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign are living up to their promise. According to Kurrco, he shared the first of five tweaks to the 16-song tracklist. Whether or not we receive adjustments to each cut remains to be seen. For now, though, Ye and Ty have brought updates to “RIVER”, “530”, “SKY CITY,” “FIELD TRIP”, and “FRIED”. Kurrco provides extra insight for the first two, which are arguably the most coveted tracks, and the ones fans were disappointed in the most. For “RIVER”, the “OG drums” are back in the mix, so if you were able to hear the demo of that record, that may be a major tweak.

Kanye Fans, How Are We Feeling About These VULTURES 2 Changes?

Then, for “530”, Ty Dolla $ign, as well as Alvin from the titular chipmunk band, have vocals added. However, at the time of writing, these changes have not yet been deployed onto streaming yet. Whether or not Kanye actually releases each refined version like he said he would in “real time” or all at once when each track is done, remains to be seen. For now, continue to refresh your streaming platforms.

What are your thoughts on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign making these adjustments to VULTURES 2? How much does this improve the overall listening experience? Is Ye officially on a decline after these last two projects, why or why not? What other things does he need to fix on the LP? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Khalid Makes His Grand Return With “Sincere”

by

Pop and R&B star Khalid is back with his third album, Sincere. The album is his first in five years, since his multi-platinum previous release, Free Spirit. During that time, Khalid stayed somewhat busy musically. He released a mixtape and several singles. He also collaborated with artists like Summer Walker, Victoria Monet, and Tate McRae. Sincere is 16 tracks long and sees Khalid operating primarily as a solo artist. However, it does feature one appearance from Arlo Parks, a burgeoning indie pop artist from the United Kingdom. It is some of his most R&B-oriented music to date, a minor departure from the poppier elements of his younger work. The result is an album that fans of Khalid are praising, a welcome change for the El Paso singer after the more indifferent reception to 2021’s Scenic Drive mixtape.

When speaking to Billboard about Sincere, Khalid said that its release has been a long time coming, and it represents the introduction of a more complete artist with more life experience. “This is the one I have been waiting five years to put out, and this is the one full of music that I’ve been harboring over the past half decade for the perfect moment, and no moment is more perfect,” he told the magazine. Khalid recently opened for Ed Sheeran during part of Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour in 2023. The tour spans over 100 shows and doesn’t end until September 2025. With his latest album release, Khalid announcing his own headlining tour is likely imminent. He also appeared on the Barbie soundtrack, which won a Grammy for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. Stream Sincere below.

Khalid – Sincere

Sincere tracklist:

Adore U
Everything We See
Altitude
It’s All Good
Broken
Dose
Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me
Breathe (feat. Arlo Parks)
Ground
Who’s There To Pick Me Up
Tainted
Long Way Home
Heatstroke
Sincere
Owe To You

Navy Blue Releases His First Album Since Def Jam Split With “Memoirs In Armour”

by

Navy Blue being an independent artist has always seemed to fit him better. Being such a talented name in New York’s underground scene did get him a deal with Def Jam Recordings a couple of years ago. However, the relationship was short-lived, as the 27-year-old was dropped from the major label. But as we said, the “Chosen” MC is more of a hidden gem than a blatant superstar. It seems Navy Blue enjoys being the former based on a recent IG post about his new album Memoirs In Armour. This album was initially an 8 track EP, in response to the fact that the album I had worked so hard on for the past 2 years wasn’t able to come out”, he began.

“I’m grateful to have been inspired enough to make this album within the past few months. Due to the shift in circumstances, this project became a refuge to me. I hope you enjoy it. I’m happy to be putting this album out independently —the way I had always intended to be releasing music”. Overall, you certainly tell that Memoirs In Armour is just that as Navy Blue is openly introspective. He talks about his career, his past struggles mentally and physically, in addition to life advice. Also making the album a hit is the equally thought-provoking instrumentals which are airy and dreamy. Blue’s consistently detailed writing mixed with the aforementioned beats are a great combo making this a standout in his catalog and a stellar return after a rough transitional period.

Kanye West Confirms “Vultures 2” Songs Will Be Updated In Real Time

by

Kanye West has confirmed that he will be making updates to Vultures 2 that will be added to streaming platforms in real time. The announcement comes from a statement on the Yeezy website that fans on social media began noticing on Saturday night. “VULTURES 2 AVAILABLE ON ALL DSPS,” the statement reads. “UPDATED SONGS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN REAL TIME.”

The news comes as fans have been complaining about the mixing on Vultures 2 since its release earlier in the day. “So we need to keep listening to know if they are fixed?” one user on X (formerly Twitter) joked. Another remarked: “The only thing I’d like to see is that the vocals to be lifted across most of the tracks. The production sounds muddy.” One more wrote: “They said this for vultures 1 and I didn’t notice any big changes – vultures 2 quite literally has to have entire songs reproduced and remixed there’s no saving that album.”

Ty Dolla Sign announced that he and West will be hosting a listening event in Utah, next Friday, but the comments section was flooded with fans demanding updates to the new album. “Fix the album it’s terrible,” the top response reads. “Revert time moving slow and river to the og and if it’s not too much to ask fix the mixing and this album can go from poor to great. Give it the tlop treatment,” another wrote, referencing West similarly updating his 2016 album, The Life of Pablo.

Kanye West Confirms Updates Are Coming

As it stands, there are plenty of guest appearances across the tracklist for Vultures 2. They include West’s two daughters, North and Chicago, as well as many other high-profile artists. Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, Future, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and many more all make appearances.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s “VULTURES 2”: More Mainstream Names Lead To Left-Field Sounds

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 2 is another big-time event. Just like the first installment, they have pieced together another long list of some of the biggest names in hip-hop. But where these LPs differ is the overall soundscape. It’s a nice change of pace that has a lot of curveballs. In fact, you can make an argument that there is a more diverse collection here compared to VULTURES 1. That is something that definitely highlights the more experimentative side to the production.

For example, “SKY CITY”, featuring 070 Shake, CyHi, and Desiigner sees Ye and Ty take on a more acoustic approach. Production can be attributed to Kanye, Timbaland, and BoogzDaBeast. “RIVER” is another prime sample of more risk-taking and one that draws some inspiration from JESUS IS KING and DONDA. Charlie Wilson, Young Thug, Leon Bridges, and The Inter Milan Ultras make a perfect melting pot of overall performances. Pi’erre Bourne, Ye, and London on da Track, are just a few of the hands that were involved in putting this soulful cut together.

Kanye And Ty Dolla $ign Assembled An Army Of Talent For “VULTURES 2”

However, you also get you share of pure bangers and more rap-centric songs. Features like Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, Future, Lil Wayne, Lil Durk, and Lil Baby all bring out Ye and Ty’s more aggressive side. Trap rap beat makers Wheezy, ATL Jacob, FNZ, and Dez Wright, are just few bring their special sauce to the table in that regard. Whenever we get VULTURES 3, we can only imagine that ¥$ will continue to dump tons of money into bringing on the best of the best.

What are your thoughts on the features and producers that are on Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 2? Comparing the two installments in the series, which one is better based on the talent?

Kanye West Disses Drake By Name & Kim Kardashian Subliminally On “VULTURES 2”

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign are shaking up the hip-hop community this weekend. After months’ worth of delays, the multi-talents have released VULTURES 2, the second of three volumes in this series. Fans online are obviously extremely ecstatic and plenty of discussions are already underway. For example, people are debating which installment they think is stronger. We are sure to have our review out soon, so be sure to check back with us to hear our thoughts. But another topic of discussion is the latest Drake dig on VULTURES 2. To no surprise, it comes from Kanye.

It occurs on “530”, song that was recorded during the sessions for DONDA 2. A lot of fans have been anticipating its eventual release, however, a lot of them are upset with the results. In the Genius annotation, apparently no major changes were made to the recording in 2022, and listeners are taking notice. But back to the Drake diss, Ye is once again talking about his fake fans, and he uses that to create the base for what’s to come. On part two of “530” he continuously repeats this line in some shape or form.

Kanye Takes Shots At Drake On VULTURES 2

“You don’t really love Ye, go listen to Drake, b****”. Additionally, an unreviewed breakdown of this bar also includes his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. They feel this is some sort of shot at her for being fake in their marriage. This could be plausible, considering that Kanye alludes to their marriage in part one. “Pray your soulmate got a soul when you meet her / The crystal ball couldn’t tell me if they’d leave again / Problems too extra large to share it with a medium“. Later, Ye adds, “The past year been a strange time
Visitations on Facetime / And who gon’ break who’s heart first? Always just breaks mine“.

What are your thoughts on Kanye West dissing Drake and Kim Kardashian on “530” off of VULTURES 2? Do you foresee Drizzy responding on any future collaborations or singles? In terms of all of the shots you have heard thrown at The Boy this year, where does it rank? Are the disses getting tiring or are you still intrigued post the Kendrick Lamar battle?

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Take Fans By Surprise With “Vultures 2” Release

by

After plenty of delays, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have finally unleashed their joint album, Vultures 2. The project was originally slated for release earlier this year, pushed back, then put on hold indefinitely. This week, a message on the official YZY website promised it would arrive on August 2, which came and went with no drop in sight. As expected, fans were disappointed, though the duo made it up to them early this morning.

Vultures 2 boasts various high-profile features from the likes of Lil Wayne, Future, Young Thug, and more. Of course, Ye and Ty also enlist the help of Don Toliver, Kodak Black, and Playboi Carti on “FIELD TRIP,” which has quickly become a fan favorite. So far, the release has social media users split.

While most are impressed with Vultures 2, many are disappointed. Some are even arguing that it doesn’t live up to Vultures 1, though this is a pretty controversial take. Others are simply glad to have gotten something, as repeated delays had supporters feeling less hopeful than ever that the project would ever see the light of day.

Vultures 2 follows Ye and Ty Dolla Sign’s first joint album, Vultures 1, which dropped in February of this year. Previously, it was announced that the LP would be followed by a third installment, Vultures 3. At the time of writing, a release date for that has yet to be announced.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign Finally Deliver “VULTURES 2” With Stacked Features To Boot

by

Wow. The wait is now over. Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, or ¥$, have put out VULTURES 2 and it’s available everywhere. Just like the inaugural VULTURES 1, the album is here on a Saturday morning after instead at midnight on a Friday. Even though there was a strong chance the tandem wouldn’t drop it yesterday, fans were still ticked off. However, everyone can now finally take a sigh of relief. Hype was built back up late yesterday after Kanye and Ty surprise-shared “SLIDE” with short feature from James Blake. Although, on the album the English singer is nowhere to be heard.

Thankfully, there are plenty of other guest stars all over the 16-song offering. The list of them starts out with a trio of Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, and Kodak Black on “FIELD TRIP”. Future scores two placements and Lil Wayne reunites with Kanye West for the first time in years on “LIFESTYLE”. Two of the rapper’s children, Chicago and North come to support their dad on “BOMB”. Then, you have other contributions from 070 Shake, CyHi, Young Thug, Charlie Wilson, and even more. Hopefully, what VULTURES 2 and 1 don’t share in common is unexpected takedowns off of streaming.
