Justin Laboy is delivering additional details on North Westβs album.
TMZ caught up with Laboy at LAX and asked about Elementary School Dropout. His response was that Kanye West is leading the way in production, and it will be kid-friendly.
βShe already got a hit,β Laboy said. βI know she going to be on βVultures 2β² againβ and that album will be a classic.β
He added, βEverybody is excited, all chips in on her: production, the best engineers. I think she got it and she naturally loves it.β
Laboy added that North West does ten songs a day and has her friends on singles. You can hear more from Laboy below.
PARTYNEXTDOOR delighted fans at Rolling Loud California with an electrifying performance fresh from announcing his upcoming album, P4. The crowd erupted in excitement as the singer-songwriter graced the stage and delivered a set filled with his chart-topping hits.
From soulful renditions of classics like βCome and See Meβ and βPersian Rugsβ to the upbeat vibes of βBreak From Toronto,β PARTYNEXTDOOR had the audience captivated from start to finish. However, the nightβs highlight surprised many when he treated fans to an exceptional performance of βWork,β the smash hit he co-wrote for Rihanna.
As R&B enthusiasts in the crowd swooned to his smooth vocals and infectious beats, PARTYNEXTDOOR solidified his status as one of the genreβs leading talents. With P4 on the horizon, anticipation for his new album has reached a fever pitch, leaving fans eager for more from the Toronto nativeβs musical prowess.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were a power couple for many years. However, their marriage eventually fizzled out all the way back in 2021. At the time, Kanye was saying some damning things in the media, and it became too much for Kim. Overall, fans thought they would be together forever. That said, it was just not meant to be. These days, Ye is married to Bianca Censori, while Kim is currently dating Odell Beckham Jr. They both seem to be quite happy, albeit supportive of one another.
For instance, Kim was recently at a Vultures listening party. During this appearance, Kim was standing right next to Censori. No one could get a read on how they feel about one another, however, they stuck around each other nonetheless. A few days later, Kim and Bianca found themselves in the same vicinity, this time at Rolling Loud California. Although there is no footage of the two together, there is a chance they crossed paths. Either way, Kim seemed to be enjoying her time amongst the crowd.
Unfortunately for Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign, the reviews of their latest show have not been positive. Instead of actually performing, they just vibed to their own music on stage. Overall, fans expect a better product and the reactions on social media dictate as such. Regardless, Ye and Ty are massive artists, so this wonβt hurt them that much. Although it may force them to adjust how they go about their performances, moving forward. Hopefully, this isnβt going to become the norm not just for them, but other artists as well.
Let us know what you thought of the performance, in the comments section down below. Do you think it was as bad as people said it was?

Kanye West is an artist whoβs always been able to see the value of a great performance. His career is full of legendary on-stage moments from his rendition of βHey Mamaβ honoring his late mother at the 50th Grammys, to him and Jay-Z unpacking a Watch The Throne classic 12 times in a row in Paris, to his brief rekindling with Drake for a special Larry Hoover Benefit show. In the past 10 years of his career, however, heβs become a fan of the listening party.
But despite assumptions the iconic moments havenβt slowed down a bit since. The unveiling of his Yeezy Season 3 collection alongside the debuting of material from The Life Of Pablo is one of the most recognizable moments of his career. A few years later he captivated fans all over again with a trio of DONDA listening experiences preceding the albumβs release. Fans watched early material transform over time and shared in the surprise as artists like DaBaby and Marilyn Manson appeared. All of that is to say that a special VULTURES listening party at Rolling Loud Los Angeles was rife with potential to be his next legendary moment. Despite all of that potential, West delivered a night that wonβt exactly enter the textbooks of rap history.
Kanye Westβs Underwhelming Evening

To start, many of the fans in attendance were fully expecting a performance instead of just a listening party. Rolling Loud itself didnβt exactly build up expectations for a live performance, but they were also careful about their wording. βVultures headlining,β and βVultures liveβ were used to describe the set. For fans paying attention to Westβs recent run of shows it was easy to connect the dots, but itβs clear that many others came in expecting a more conventional concert.
Those disappointed fans got the chance to express themselves in the comments of a Rolling Loud post about the show. Underneath pictures of the duo on-stage attendees shared their thoughts. βIβm grateful to see Kanye Live but this was probably his worst performance everβ one of the top comments on the post reads. βThis shouldβve just been a Fortnite concertβ another agrees.
The bulk of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ignβs βVULTURESβ show was similar to many of the other recent listening parties. It got underway around 40 minutes after the scheduled start time, which felt early by Westβs standards. The pair made the long walk onto a stage in the center of the crowd sporting ski masks and black jackets. The stage itself sat underneath a dome-like pair of crisscrossing beams. They served as overhead lighting throughout the performance while massive smoke machines covered all the artists on stage in a thick mist.
As youβd expect, the listening party was a star-studded affair. Among the least surprising guests was North West, who brought a group of friends along sporting matching Vultures shirts to dance to her now beloved guest verse on βTALKING.β Despite being an expected addition the adorable moment was undeniably one of the highlights of the night. YG was also there which was unsurprising as heβs performing at the festival alongside Tyga at the festival on Friday.
A High-Profile Guest List

Throughout the night numerous guests joined. Freddie Gibbs marked the first surprise appearance of the night and fans erupted when he came on stage to mime his standout verse on βBACK TO ME.β Additionally Quavo, Rich The Kid, and Bump J were all in attendance for their appearances on various VULTURES cuts. Though the crowd was excited as guests emerged on stage, the allure of seeing a surprise collaborative performance didnβt quite transition into a listening party.
As the set went on, more and more attendees appeared to realize that they werenβt there for a performance. Compared to viral videos showing seas of hyped crowds at Rolling Loud the demeanor of the audience felt stuck in a permanent state of anticipation. Throughout the night the DJ pulled a classic live performance move and cut out memorable refrains from various songs to let the audienceβs singing take over. But it was impossible not to notice throughout the night that the enthusiasm was fading.
A Series Of Unfortunate Teases

West and Ty left the stage after around 40 minutes with their performance failing to reach the 9:30 time promised despite getting off to a late start. Around 30 minutes into their set, in full view of the crowd, the pair both dramatically removed their masks and headgear on stage. It would have been the absolute perfect time for them to pick up a microphone and surprise the crowd with an actual performance. But it never came to be and the pair departed the stage after playing shortened versions of every song from VULTURES 1 and the previously debuted Backstreet Boys-sampling βEVERYBODY.β
What followed was unfortunately the crystalizing moment of the entire evening. Following a 5 minute interlude where fans waited in bulk for some kind of encore, the crowd erupted in cheers as βFather Stretch My Hands Pt. 1β came on over the speakers. The expectation of the audience was clear, West would come back out and finish his set with a few classics, but that never happened. As one hit after another came on over the speakers, βFlashing Lights,β βRunaway,β βFade,β and more, fans slowly realized that the show was over.
One of the most fascinating features of Rolling Loudβs main stage is that planes fly shockingly low overhead as they land at LAX. It happened throughout the night and fans repeatedly pointed their cameras at the passing aircraft in bulk as they soared by. Around 10 songs deep into the DJs set following Westβs exit the Watch The Throne classic βOtisβ came on the speakers. Just as the song shifted into the intense final verse yet another plane passed overhead, shortly followed by Westβs lyric βCanβt you see the private jets flying over you.β Had he been performing the track live, the moment could have been yet another instantly timeless entry into Kanye Westβs career. Instead fans were left with the perfect lasting image of the VULTURES Rolling Loud set. Watching an accidentally brilliant moment fall short of its potential as more and more of the fans in attendance began shuffling away from the empty stage towards the exit.
I know I said we at Uproxx do not engage in schadenfruede when I wrote about another Kanye West fail earlier this week, but the man is truly testing the limits of that policy this week.
Now, youβd think anyone who has followed the mercurial producerβs moves for the past, like, decade would understand the inherent risk involved in unskeptically engaging with anything he announces, but Roling Loud attendees were given the βEmperorβs New Clothesβ treatment firsthand at his βspecial performanceβ last night in Inglewood, California.
Billed to perform a βheadliningβ performance ahead of the festival proper, Kanye instead pulled a Frank Ocean at Coachella, instead just sort of standing around onstage while a DJ played his last album, Vultures 1. Fans wereβ¦ letβs just say βdispleased.β
βIβm not gonna say the show sucked but I just thought going to a Kanye show would be different,β wrote one disgruntled fan on Twitter.
And look β I said Uproxx wouldnβt engage in any schadenfruede, but fans on Twitter certainly did. βNo way Kanye just dipped after playing vultures at rolling loud,β one joked. βAt this rate he gonna stop showing up at all and tell his fans to imagine him performing, theyβll be like βI see him.’β Againβ¦ The Emperorβs New Clothes. (Theyβre already doing it, btw).
Rolling Loud just scammed Everyone into thinking Kanye would do a Performance tonight! pic.twitter.com/bAx9csGbYq
The disdain for Kanyeβs latest anti-performance was palpable, but something tells me folks will keep coming back for more β sunk costs and all. It definitely sucks to see a first ballot hip-hop hall-of-famer turn into β¦. this, but the good news is, there are plenty of other artists out there to enjoy who havenβt become Nazi apologists. Check out some more reactions below.
No way Kanye just dipped after playing vultures at rolling loud.

Rolling Loud day 1 takeaways: β’ No pat downs only metal detectors. β’ People starting mosh pits to soft songs. β’ Kanye stopped performing and they just played his old songs to kill time, and everyone thought he was still performing. β’ Every white person smelled.
I love Kanye, he is No.1 on my rappers, producers, creatives, entrepreneurs & GOATs lists, but his Rolling Loud performance should’ve been a lot more than just the usual listening parties. The last time we got a solid performance from him was at Circus Maximus in Italy. https://t.co/sHMCFHHQOC
Kanye really charged people hundreds of dollars to listen to his 4/10 album with him(he didnβt perform) and his fans are mad at rolling loud for false advertising. What a fall from grace
Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are still in the midst of their Vultures rollout. Overall, they have seen quite a bit of success with Vultures 1. Now, however, fans are waiting on them to come through with Vultures 2. The album is not out yet, and fans are starting to get antsy. However, the pair has come through with some listening parties, which have effectively given fans something to be hopeful for. On Thursday, however, they had a huge opportunity at their fingertips as they performed at Rolling Loud.
This Rolling Loud performance was a special one as they were the only set of the day. If you had bought a three-day pass to the festival, you were granted access to this special set. Unfortunately, it seems as though some festivalgoers wish they had just stayed home entirely. In footage posted to Twitter, Kanye and Ty could be seen walking around the stage, barely engaging with the music. In fact, some reported that their mics werenβt even on, which made this more of a listening party.
In the tweets below, you ca see just disappointed people were with the entire ordeal. Overall, it just wasnβt the best look for Ye and Ty. Especially when you consider how Vultures2 is a week past due at this point. Fans want the album, and they were hoping that tonight could serve as some sort of launch point. Instead, it was a disappointing performance that showcases just how out of touch Ye is these days.

Kanye West is scheduled to perform on Thursday, March 14 (today) at 8:00 pm with Ty Dolla Sign.
