Rich The Kid has responded to Elliott Wilson calling him the “luckiest n***a on the planet.” Taking to Twitter on Monday, he remarked that hating “isn’t cool.” It appears that Wilson was referring to Rich’s appearance on Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s new album, Vultures 1. He contributed to the song, “Carnival,” alongside Playboi Carti.

“How the fuck I’m lucky? N****s made that song from scratch.. hating is not cool bro,” Rich said in response to Wilson. The back and forth warranted mixed responses from fans. “Because you’ve been washed for like 6 years straight and happned to fetaure on a song w 3 generational rappers , have some self awareness bruh,” one user replied. Another defended Rich: “bro rich the kid deadass shaped that track into what it is. that whole choir part wasn’t there till he did his verse. the choir is literally singing the lines rich the kid put down LMAO. he went off.”

The Best Features On Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s “Vultures”

February 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This past weekend, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign unleashed their debut collaborative album, Vultures 1. After a rocky rollout of listening parties and constant changes, including its release date, the album materialized with 16 tracks and a brand-new cover. Officially titled Vultures 1, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s full-length collaboration is reportedly the first of three separate volumes, with Part 2 expected to arrive on March 8 and Part 3 on April 5. These dates are to be considered in the context of Kanye’s notable history of delaying album releases. Vultures 1 may be a collaborative album between Kanye and Ty, but the duo also recruited numerous other guests throughout its tracklist. Today, we are ranking the best features on Vultures 1 from least to greatest.

5. “Talking” – North West

Featured on “Talking” is none other than Kanye West’s 10-year-old daughter, North West. She may be young and her appearance on the album is short, but her contributions are better than many other professional recording artists featured on Vultures 1. Her feature is not to be judged like the other musicians on the album, as she is simply having fun on the song. North’s quick verse is cheerful, catchy, and a wholesome moment between her and her father. She even emulates Kanye with her inflections and melodic rapping. Again, North West’s feature is meant to be a lively moment on a song about fatherhood.

4. “Do It” – YG

“Do It” includes a short posthumous intro from Nipsey Hussle, as well as a guest verse from YG. The Compton native sticks to Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s lyrical themes of sex and money but has a moment to shine on his own. A prominent sample of Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up” gets incorporated into the fast-paced instrumental as YG spits his verse. His West Coast gangsta rap style is perfect for the beat as he skips right across it. The addition of the sample makes his feature more effective, complimenting his flow and lyrics. Also, his and Ty Dolla $ign’s chemistry and deep collaborative history make for a standout moment on Vultures 1.

3. “Paperwork” – Quavo

Quavo has worked with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign on separate occasions. This time, they recruited the Migos member for “Paperwork,” a bizarre blend of hip hop and Brazilian funk. The production is quite abrasive with its distorted bassline, but Quavo’s auto-tuned melodies and ad-libs cut right through the beat. Out of the three, he sounds the most comfortable over the instrumental, floating over it with a catchy melody. Quavo often sounds great over light and airy production, but on “Paperwork,” he sits right on top of the beat as he provides his signature melodic bars.

2. “Beg Forgiveness” – Chris Brown

Chris Brown is one of the standout features on Vultures 1. He and Kanye previously created magic on “Waves,” and he worked with Ty Dolla $ign on tracks like “Only 4 Me.” “Beg Forgiveness” is a six-minute highlight that allows him to occupy the spotlight alongside Ty. His acapella introduction starts the song on a heartfelt note. Futher, “Beg Forgiveness” builds around Chris Brown’s pitched-down vocals, matching the spacious production. Before Ty tests himself vocally towards the end of the song, Brown occupies the almost first three minutes with a rendition of Joe Goddard’s “Gabriel.” It makes for easily the album’s most soulful and musically compelling moment.

1. “Back To Me” – Freddie Gibbs

By a wide margin, Freddie Gibbs has the best verse on Vultures 1. While Kanye spends most of the song talking about how “beautiful, big t*tty, butt-naked women just don’t fall out the sky,” Gibbs completely reimagines this ridiculous refrain. He makes the song his own, smoothly flowing over the hard-hitting drum break. Freddie repurposes Kanye’s lyrics into a skillfully-crafted verse. He not only sounds good but drops some clever punchlines as well. Gibbs raps, “Just turned a bird b*tch to my ex like I was Elon” and “Standin’ at the plate, your ho catchin’ balls like a bat catcher.” He even switches his flows and rhyme schemes, impressing as he transitions between each line. Gibbs completely stole the show with his verse on “Back to Me,” outshining every other feature on Vultures 1.

India Love’s Recording Session For “KEYS TO MY LIFE” Obliterated By Kanye West Fans

February 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It was an emotional weekend for Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign fans. After a hype listening party in Chicago on February 9, their supporters were expecting VULTURES 1 to be on streaming services at midnight. However, it would not drop until Saturday, only to be taken down for a brief moment before reappearing a little later on. On top of that, it took Spotify longer to get it on their platform compared to everyone else. Fans are still digesting the project after all of that and “KEYS TO MY LIFE” has been a recent trending topic.

“KEYS TO MY LIFE” is the second track from the record and is one of the more somber, yet beautiful moments on it. One of the many guests on the project is India Love. She is not making music these days. The last time India put out anything was in 2018. All of her singles were released that year and nothing has come out since then. However, Kanye brought her on to tie things up in the closing moments of “KEYS TO MY LIFE.”

India Love Did Make The Cut Though

Her vocals sound pretty decent on the final product. However, footage of her laying down her portion has been the recipient of a lot of jokes. It does not help that India was recording in a loud room with people talking. But, even when you take that out of the equation, they do not sound great. Fans agree as the Instagram comments go to town on India. One writes, “Shorty tweaking off the drank.” Another adds, “Okay and I need a lock to my ears.” However, at the end of the day, she did make it on the record, so that itself is a huge accomplishment.

What are your thoughts on the fan reactions to India Love’s recording session for “KEYS TO MY LIFE” for VULTURES 1? Is this the best track from the album, why or why not? Who had the strongest performance on it and why? Do you think she should have been left off the final version? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to tell us in the comments below. Additionally, keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, India Love, and VULTURES 1.

Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, & Chris Brown Are Taking No Prisoners On Epic “BEG FORGIVENESS”

February 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After a weekend with Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s collaboration tape VULTURES 1, fans are lukewarm on it. Some say it is an outstanding record, while others do not like how Ye comes across on some of the tracks. One thing that people seem to be collectively agreeing on is the quality of the production. It certainly helps when you have so many creative geniuses coming together like JPEGMAFIA and London On Da Track, for example. They have excellent contributions to “BEG FORGIVENESS.”

It is one of the few serious moments on the LP, and this may be the strongest of that bunch. When Kanye drops introspective and minimal tracks, they almost always seem to hit differently. If you do not believe us, go listen to ones like “FML,” “Say You Will,” or “Come to Life.” Those are just a handful of examples that show him at his best. Ye’s verse on “BEG FORGIVENESS” is quite touching as he hopes that his children will live amazing lives. Additionally, he talks about his own mortality and that he is comfortable with what he accomplised if he were to perish.

Listen To “BEG FORGIVENESS” By Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, & Chris Brown

As for Ty and Breezy, they both dig deep and bring emotional performances. Brown delivers expertly written choruses, refrains, and pre-choruses. Ty finishes things up, belting out raspy and powerful lines like, “Say you wanna make amends before I go / Now you wanna put your heart on the line.” Both R&B talents are feeling resentful and it will send chills down your spine. For ultimate the crescendo, the instrumental feels tribal, epic, and cold in all the right ways. The chants of “beg forgiveness” are haunting but beautiful as well. If you are looking for track to pick from this album, try this one out.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song from Vultures 1, “BEG FORGIVENESS,” by Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and Chris Brown? Is this the best track from the album, why or why not? Who had the strongest performance and why? What is your overall opinion on the album right now and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to tell us in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Don’t let your moment pass you by
Had to go in my whole life
A hundred percent covered in ice
Put down your phone, cut off the lights
Lights, cut off the lights, covered in ice
And if I go tonight, know that I lived a lovely life

Kanye West Prices All “Vultures 1” Merch $20, But There’s A Catch

February 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has shocked fans by pricing all items on his Yeezy store, including his newly-released Yeezy Pods, at $20. It’s a surprise move that took fans by surprise across social media. However, fans noted that there was a catch. “I was bouuta order but when i saw that shipping is 50 dollaz i was like naahhh ,” one fan explained. “I paid $200 for pods and now they $20 is this a fucking joke????” complained another. Meanwhile, other fans theorized that the pricing was to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Kanye’s debut album.

Vultures 1 is stacked with talent, featuring nine features. The first feature of Vultures 1 is India Love on “Keys To My Life”. Two songs later, Kanye is joined by his daughter North West for “Talking/Once Again”. That is followed by an appearance from Freddie Gibbs on “Back To Me”. Tracks 7 and 8 are another pair of back-to-back features, with Nipsey Hussle & YG appearing on “Do It” and Quavo featuring on “Paperwork”. The final four features can be found between tracks 10 and 13. There are two appearances by Playboi Carti – “Fuk Sum” (also featuring Travis Scott) and “Carnival” (also featuring Rich The Kid). Meanwhile, Chris Brown adds his vocals to “Beg Forgiveness”. Finally, there is the album’s namesake, which features Lil Durk & Bump J.

Kanye West Drops New Vultures 1 Cover But Fans Still Have Issues

Meanwhile, late on Saturday night, Kanye West dropped a new version of the cover art for his album, Vultures 1. The Jason Vorhees-esque hockey mask won by a figure on the album cover has been changed from white to black. However, the change was not the one that more modest fans were hoping for. Many fans still had issues with the scantily clad Bianca Censori who also appears on the cover. “How am I supposed to play this in my car and my mom sees this album cover,” one fan asked. “Wasn’t he complaining about his baby momma being too sexual to raise his kids,” noted another. “Salam brother Kanye, can we please get a Halal version of the cover. Thank you,” requested a third.

Last week, Kanye posted an image to his Instagram story of himself and Censori showing off their respective phone backgrounds. West’s was a picture of Censori wearing a leather bikini. Meanwhile, Censori’s was a picture of someone dressed as Jason Vorhees. While Censori appears to be topless on the cover of Vultures 1, it is now relatively evident that the innocuous photo was a backdoor teaser for the cover art.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Hosting “Vultures 1” Event In Las Vegas: Report

February 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Multiple outlets have reported that there will be a “Ye & Friends” event in Las Vegas tonight (February 11). The event comes in the wake of the duo releasing Vultures 1, the first part of their long-awaited collaborative album. Furthermore, it comes a day after the pair performed in Kanye’s hometown of Chicago to celebrate the album’s release. However, a more wild detail is that the impromptu concert will be taking place during Super Bowl LVIII. The city is already filled with fans who are eagerly awaiting the start of the game between Kansas City and San Francisco. The game will also a feature halftime show headlined by Usher.

Kanye West Seemingly Confirms Venice Boat Rumors On “Fuk Sumn”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

Meanwhile, Kanye has seemingly confirmed the rumors that he received oral sex from his wife during a public gondola ride in Venice last year. On “Fuk Sumn” from his new album Vultures 1, Kanye raps “Shawty wanna f-ck on somethin’?/F-ck on me/Suck on me, publicly”. This has widely been taken as a reference, and thus confirmation, of what (or who) was going down during that now-infamous boat outing in Italy.

It was never confirmed what was happening with the partially nude Kanye and crouching Bianca Censori. However, the incident led the gondola company to ban the couple. Additionally, there were calls for them to be expelled from Italy for the act of public indecency. Of course, the boat ride came amidst the couple’s continually controversial Italian vacation. They faced massive public backlash for Censori’s outfits throughout their trip. Meanwhile, Kanye’s face coverings sparked debates as to whether he was violating anti-terror laws.

Iconic Jason Vorhees Actor Co-Signs Kanye Mask Use

A post shared by Ye (@kanyewest)

Meanwhile, the original image of Kanye in the iconic white Jason Vorhees mask has been co-signed by Kane Hodder, who played Vorhees in four of the Friday The 13th films. “I was watching a bunch of the videos and I love it. Kanye, you gotta let me get you a better mask though. That’s kind of a cheesy one. I could get you a nice one and if you would just, during your performance, give the eyes a little bit. That’s what gets people when you’re wearing the mask. Do the big eyes,” Hodder told TMZ. Furthermore, Hodder said he’d be happy to send Kanye a film-worn variant from his own collection.

Hodder is one of the most beloved Jason actors, despite appearing as Jason in some of the franchise’s more infamous entries. He first played Jason in Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood and would reprise the role for the next three entries in the series. This includes the infamous Jason Takes Manhattan as well as Jason X, the one set in space 200 years in the future. Kanye is yet to publicly respond to Hodder’s offer of a new mask.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Team Up With Rich The Kid & Playboi Carti For “Carnival”

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s new album, Vultures 1, is finally here featuring a number of star-studded collaborations across its 16 tracks. One of the early standouts is “Carnival” featuring contributions from Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti. The song is getting plenty of attention for more than just its merits alone, with a headline-grabbing reference to Taylor Swift, a behind-the-scenes feud with Ozzy Osbourne, and more.

As for Swift, Ye raps in the third verse: “I made six Taylor Swift (Ha) since I had the Rollie on the wrist (Ha) / I’m the new Jesus, b*tch (Ha), I turn water to crist (Ha).” It’s not the first time he’s mentioned Swift. He made endless headlines in 2016 with the song, “Famous,” for similarly remarking that he’s the reason for her success.

Kanye West References Taylor Swift On “Carnival”

As for his back-and-forth with Osbourne, the singer was unhappy with West’s performance of “Carnival,” earlier this week, which featured a sample of a live cover of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” that the lead singer performed with his solo band in 1983. Osbourne took to social media to complain that he never gave permission for its usage. “.@KANYEWEST ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘IRON MAN’ FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY,” he wrote. “HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN.”

Ye previously sampled Black Sabbath on his song, “Hell of a Life.” It’s not the only sample clearance drama West has dealt with this week, as the estate of Donna Summer also called him out. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign on HotNewHipHop.

Quotable Lyrics:

Go, go, go, go
Head so good, she a honor roll
She’ll ride the dick like a carnival
I done did the impossible

Kanye West Makes Questionable Reference To The Jewish Community On First Track Of “Vultures 1”

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Discourse seekers only needed to look as far as the first track of Vultures 1 to find some questionable content. On “Stars”, Kanye West makes an eyebrow-raising reference to the Jewish community. “I’ma come through and just black out/ Just black out/ Keep a few Jews on the staff now/ I cash out,” Kanye raps. While not as egregious as a previously heard line about not being anti-Semitic because he had sex with a Jewish woman, the line is likely to incense certain parts of the internet.

Furthermore, it comes less than two months after Kanye apologized to the Jewish community, in Hebrew, for his past antisemitism. “I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding more in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity,” Kanye wrote on social media.

Quavo Was Removed From Kanye West’s “Fuk Sumn” And Fans Aren’t Happy

However, a questionable line about the Jewish community isn’t the only thing about Vultures 1 drawing ire. Reports have emerged indicating that Quavo had a verse removed from “Fuk Sumn” on Vultures 1 and fans are not happy. “Quavo verse >Travis verse aside. Ty has NO aura. The aura coming off of quavo is insane next to weak a– retwist needing a– Ty,” one fan wrote. “I haven’t seen the TL defend quavo like this lol. Seems like Kanye really messed up with removing him on ‘FUCK SUM’,” added another. “Kanye robbed quavo by taking him off fuk sumn. I don’t give a single f-ck about carti, travis or even kanye’s verse on here, quavo was carrying the song bro SHYYYYT,” a third noted.

Quavo still appears on the album, featuring on the track “Paperwork”. However, people really wanted to hear him on “Fuk Sumn”, which instead features Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. How do you feel about “Fuk Sumn”? Let us know in the comments.

Kanye West Put On Blast By Donna Summer’s Estate For Alleged Copyright Infringement

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Following months of teasing, Kanye West has finally dropped his eagerly-anticipated album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures 1. The Vultures project is expected to arrive in three installments, and the other two are scheduled to drop in March and April. While in general, the album has been a success so far, not everybody is feeling it. The latest critics to come forward were from Donna Summer’s estate, and they accuse Ye of using her song without permission.

In a recent Story post from Summer’s official Instagram account, the estate claims that Ye had asked to use the late performer’s song “I Feel Love,” and was denied. They note that he changed up a few things before using it on his album. Regardless, they allege that it’s “copyright infringement.”

Donna Summer’s Estate Claims Ye Asked For Permission, Was Denied

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Ye’s been put on blast for allegedly using another artist’s work without permission. It’s not even the first time this week. Yesterday, Ozzy Osbourne took to Twitter/X to call him out for using a sample of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” when he was explicitly asked not to. The metal icon’s wife even jumped into the debacle to throw a few jabs at the Chicago MC. “@kanyewest ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘WAR PIG’ FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY,” Ozzy wrote. “HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!”

As for Sharon, she called Kanye a “pig,” and claimed that he “represents hate.” What do you think of Donna Summer’s estate calling out Kanye West? What about his new album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures 1? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
