Ye Sends out ‘F— You’ Message to Drake, Adidas & More in Celebration of No. 1 Single

kanye walks out of interview

In celebrating his new No. 1 single, Kanye West has a run of “fuck you” for his various enemies. Of those are Drake and Adidas.

In the lengthy Instagram caption, Ye wrote: “Rich Ty Carti and the supporters that stood by us through everything This number #1 is for you. It’s for the people who won’t be manipulated by the system and fuck adidas and everybody who works there or with them. Anyone who goes to school with anyone who’s parents work at adidas.”

Later on, he shot at Drake for bringing Lil Durk on tour: “And it’s fuck Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out.”

You can see the full message below.

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative, stadium-sounding anthem, “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, is the new No. 1 single.

“Carnival” now makes Ye the first rap artist to have a No. 1 in three decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

According to Luminate, “Carnival” secures the 1,165th No. 1 spot in the 65-year history of the Hot 100. It amassed 33.7 million streams (up 4%), garnered 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%), and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) during the tracking week of March 1-7.

With “Carnival,” Ye claims his fifth Hot 100 chart-topper, following hits like Katy Perry’s “E.T.” (featuring Ye), which spent five weeks at No. 1 starting in April 2011, among others. Ty Dolla $ign previously led the Hot 100 for a week in June 2018 as featured on Post Malone’s “Psycho.”

It is the first No. 1 record for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Additionally, “Carnival” maintains its reign for a second week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, utilizing a similar multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” slips to No. 5 after two weeks at the Hot 100’s summit, although it continues its dominance atop the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a fourth consecutive week.

Ye & Ty Dolla $ign “Vultures 2”: What We Learned From The Listening Party

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, also known as ¥$, recently began their first string of Vultures 2 album listening parties in cities such as Phoenix, Arizona, and San Francisco, California. During the listening events, fans discovered a few surprising things about the album-making process, along with what the final product might sound like. Ye had previously announced plans to drop Vultures 2 on March 8, but like many recent Kanye projects, this date came and went without an album on DSPs. Likewise, fans anticipate the upcoming Vultures 3 project to miss the projected release window of April 5, as the album likely hasn’t even begun production yet.

Still, attendees of the March 10 listening party in Phoenix received the first glimpse into the Vultures sequel. With Ye & Ty Dolla $ign’s upcoming Rolling Loud California performance on March 14th, we’re breaking down what we know so far about Vultures 2.

Ye And Ty Dolla $ign Are Still Performing “Vultures 1”

Though many fans assumed the listening experience on March 10 would center around new material, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign spent the majority of the show showcasing the tracklist of the first Vultures album. This included multiple rousing performances of the hit song “Carnival,” with Ye and Ty each leaping into the crowd as the song blasted over the stadium speakers at the Footprint Center. Kanye donned a Jason Vorhees-style hockey mask for a majority of the show, though he did remove the face covering during performances of certain tracks, such as the Vultures 1 closer “King.”

The performance featured songs originally intended for Vultures 1 that hadn’t received clearance for streaming, including “Good (Don’t Die)” and “Everybody,” which heavily relied on an uncleared sample from the Backstreet Boys. If the samples receive clearance for release, the duo could potentially include iterations of these tracks on Vultures 2. Additionally, the duo have continued to perform the original streaming versions of certain tracks like “F*** Sumn,” rather than the new-and-improved editions crafted by JPEGMAFIA, which the latter artist has played at recent solo shows.

Kanye Has Made His Music Career A True Family Affair

Unlike previous listening parties hosted by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign in the past, the March 10 outing featured no famous rapper guests such as Freddie Gibbs, Playboi Carti, or Kodak Black. Instead, Ye and Ty were joined by three of Kanye’s four children, North, Chicago, and Psalm. During the performance of “Talking,” North took center stage to perform her feature, as her younger siblings danced vibrantly close by. Between tracks, North West took to the microphone to announce plans to release an album of her own, titled Elementary School Dropout, a play on her father’s debut album. While very little information is available about North’s upcoming music at this time, the announcement was enough to send fans into a frenzy at the live event.

Vultures 2 Is Still Unfinished

Once the entirety of the Vultures 1 tracklist had been performed, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign each raised two fingers to signify the start of Vultures 2 at the first listening party. They then proceeded to play several never-before-heard songs. While these tracks undoubtedly left a lasting impact on attendees, it quickly became evident that the album is still unfinished, as the duo only unveiled a small handful of songs from the upcoming sequel. Additionally, most of the Vultures 2 songs shared at the show lacked completed Kanye vocals, signaling that the project is still heavily under construction.

Despite the unfinished nature of Vultures 2, there were plenty of elements from the new tracks that had fans glowing with excitement. The songs featured vocal passages from the likes of Future, Playboi Carti, 070 Shake, and Project Pat. Fans have estimated that the previewed Vultures 2 tracks will have titles such as “Poppin’,” “Promotion,” “Field Trip,” and “Slide” based on the songs’ lyrical content.

Vultures 2 May Not Receive A Wide Release

Hours before the March 10 listening experience, Kanye West expressed interest in releasing Vultures 2 as a purchase-only album available for $20 through his website. These comments came in response to James Blake’s recent claim that streaming services exploit artists and devalue the artistic merit of music. The “Father Stretch My Hands” rapper made several social media posts deliberating on how to go about releasing Vultures 2, leaving some fans to fear they may never hear the finished project.

This mirrors Kanye’s previous release of Donda 2, which he never officially completed and uploaded to streamers like Spotify or Apple Music. Instead, drafts of Donda 2 songs were available only to those who purchased the Stem Player. For now, there’s no way of knowing if Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign will stick with this niche release method or not. As the duo continues touring their new tracks around the country, more information will surely be revealed to the public.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign Showcase Violent Imagery In CGI Music Video For “CARNIVAL”

Since VULTURES 1 by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign was beginning to be rolled out, we have received four sets of visuals. The first of which was revealed to us on Instagram for “TALKING” featuring Ye’s oldest child, North West. Following that, two versions of “VULTURES,” “Havoc Version” and “Juice Version,” got unique imagery. Now, after going number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “CARNIVAL” gets the music video treatment.

Of course, this cut features Playboi Carti and Rich The Kid, and they have helped turn this record into a fan favorite. Its wild chanting backup vocalists paired with the EDM/trap beat is certainly a unique mix of textures and sonics. But it has won fans over in a hurry, being out for just over a month now. Additionally, like most things Kanye does, this video is anything but orthodox.

It takes the single cover art and turns it into a scroller-esque set of violent and raging CGI imagery. You will catch a shot of the artwork for “CARNIVAL” near the 20 second mark. Clearly a lot of time and energy was put into this as all of the shots really emulate the vibe of the cut. The song has been an utter success for Kanye, making it his fifth number one track and his first in about 13 years. Additionally, Ty Dolla $ign can say this is number two, while Carti and Rich nabbed their first.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new music video for “CARNIVAL” by Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich The Kid, and Playboi Carti? How do you feel about the song going number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart? Who had the best performance on the track? Is it still in your rotation?

Ye & Ty Dolla $ign Take No. 1 on Billboard with “Carnival”

Fwd Ye Carnival Artwork shawnxgrant gmail com Gmail

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative, stadium-sounding anthem, “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, is the new No. 1 single.

“Carnival” now makes Ye the first rap artist to have a No. 1 in three decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

According to Luminate, “Carnival” secures the 1,165th No. 1 spot in the 65-year history of the Hot 100. It amassed 33.7 million streams (up 4%), garnered 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%), and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) during the tracking week of March 1-7.

With “Carnival,” Ye claims his fifth Hot 100 chart-topper, following hits like Katy Perry’s “E.T.” (featuring Ye), which spent five weeks at No. 1 starting in April 2011, among others. Ty Dolla $ign previously led the Hot 100 for a week in June 2018 as featured on Post Malone’s “Psycho.”

It is the first No. 1 record for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Additionally, “Carnival” maintains its reign for a second week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, utilizing a similar multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” slips to No. 5 after two weeks at the Hot 100’s summit, although it continues its dominance atop the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a fourth consecutive week.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s “CARNIVAL” Slides Into The No. 1 Slot On Billboard Hot 100

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have been pretty nonchalant around the success surrounding VULTURES 1. It went number one on the Billboard Hot 200, albeit for only one week. However, it was still very impressive, especially since one of the pillars of streaming, Apple Music, did not go out of their way to really promote the album. Outside of James Blake’s recent comments, it be another reason why Ye is leaning towards dropping VULTURES 2 on his website for $20. Now, Kanye West and his partner Ty can casually celebrate once more after Billboard announced that “CARNIVAL” will be going number one.

The wild and chaotic rager featuring Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti has been steadily making its way up the charts. In fact, it already hit the top spot on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 after jumping four placements. “CARNIVAL” will officially hold down number one when the list updates tomorrow, March 12. Furthermore, the explosive collaboration will take over Beyonce’s country hit “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” which had its reign for just seven days.

Additionally, this is a big accomplishment for everyone involved, especially Kanye West. This is his first song to reach the mountain top since his contributions to the alien-like Katy Perry track “E.T.” from 2011. Also worth noting is the fact that Ye is now the only rapper in history to have a number one record in three decades (2000s, 2010s, and 2020s). Of course, Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, and Rich The Kid, have plenty to be proud of. For the L.A. artist, this is his second with his first being on Post Malone’s “Psycho.” For the featured guests, this is both their first time being this high on the Hot 100 chart.

What are your thoughts on Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, Rich The Kid, and Playboi Carti going number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “CARNIVAL?” Is this song good enough to reach this spot, why or why not? Who had the best performance on the track? Is it still in your rotation? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Kanye West Still Planning World Tour Despite Live Nation Boycott

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES is turning into a full-on phenomenon. The pair first dropped VULTURES 1 last month after repeated speculation and various previously announced release dates. The entire tracklist of the record hit the Hot 100 in the week following its release and a handful of tracks have stuck around. “CARNIVAL” in particular has already been West’s biggest hit in years and has hovered in the Top 5 for a full month since the album’s release.

The album has been played for fans at various listening parties in both the US and Europe. But West is unsurprisingly interested in taking the record on tour. He’s due to perform later this week at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles and wants to spin VULTURES into a full-on world tour. The only issue is that he will have to do it without one of the biggest names in concert promotion around. Live Nation. The company has reportedly made it clear they don’t want anything to do with West following his repeated antisemitic comments over the past two years. But West is still attempting to perform a story without them. Check out the newest update below.

Kanye West World Tour Update

According to Billboard, West is bringing back an old friend to try and swing a world tour. John Monopoly has been involved in the rapper since early in his career. He served as West’s manager in the 2000s. He’s returning to the role in an effort to book the rapper a world tour.

Over the weekend, West announced VULTURES 2. The project was originally due out earlier this month and though it didn’t drop at the time it appears to still be on the way soon. What do you think of Kanye West trying to plan a world tour without the support of Live Nation? Do you think he’ll be able to book enough shows and sell tickets without their support? Let us know in the comment section below.

Quavo Pleads For Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign To “GIVE Em What They Want” By Dropping His Version Of “FUK SUMN”

VULTURES 1 even with its issues was still a successful release for Kanye West and his partner Ty Dolla $ign. The two frequent collaborators have had the album out for almost a full month. So far, fans are taking a liking to “CARNIVAL” with Playboi Carti and Rich The Kid. However, there was another track that was supposed to be more well-received. That would happen to be “FUK SUMN.” Anyone who has been paying attention to the rollout knows that Quavo and Carti were supposed to be featured on the track. Well, one of those two things were true.

Unfortunately for the ex-Migos star, Ye made some last-minute changes. In this case, he would add his protege Travis Scott into the mix. While there was a positive reception to this latest version, fans were hyped for Quavo to be on it. But, if we have to come to learn anything about Mr. West, it is that he loves to constantly tweak things. Instead, Quavo’s only credit would be on the forgettable “PAPERWORK.”

Did Quavo Make “FUK SUMN” Better?

Quavo feels the same as the fans do, according to HipHopDX. On his Instagram story, the Georgia rapper reposted a video from a JPEGMAFIA concert. During it, the version that was supposed to be released. He captioned the video saying, “GIVE Em What They Want.” The production is also slightly different from its updated version and it sounds pretty good. Hopefully, VULTURES 2 will give it a home.

What are your thoughts on Quavo’s message to Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign to drop his version of “FUK SUMN?” Which rendition of the track do you prefer and why? Is it still in your rotation? Could it land on VULTURES 2? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and Quavo.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “CARNIVAL” Expected To Go No. 1 This Week

The biggest track off of Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 1 is still building up a lot of momentum. Moreover, according to Talk of the Charts, “CARNIVAL,” also featuring Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti, is expected to go No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week a little less than a month after its initial release. While it hasn’t been able to crack that top spot so far, the song still has a lot of social media pushing behind it and has been ranking high on pretty much every applicable commercial metric. These are all just predictions that aren’t coming straight from Billboard, but with that grain of salt in mind, it would be a pretty interesting cinch for the duo.

For example, if “CARNIVAL” goes number one, then Ye would become the first hip-hop artist to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in three separate decades. His last No. 1 was 2011’s “E.T.” with Katy Perry, and “CARNIVAL” would be his fifth chart-topper alongside “Gold Digger,” “Slow Jamz,” and “Stronger.” As for Ty, it would be his second No. 1, and it would be Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti’s first. All this is pretty promising ahead of the prompt release of VULTURES 2 sometime… soon… ish.

“CARNIVAL” Might Go No. 1 Ahead Of VULTURES 2‘s Release

What’s more is that, for folks who liked King Vamp on “CARNIVAL,” it looks like there will be plenty more where that came from. Playboi Carti appears on various tracks that Ye and Ty Dolla Sign featured during their recent VULTURES 2 listening party, so it looks like they’re working with a lot of the same collaborators as the first installment. While this might disappoint some fans, these albums are part of a series. As such, it’s no surprise that they feel connected like this, albeit like retreads. But we can’t say for sure until the rest of them actually drop.

Meanwhile, given that Rich The Kid hopped on a car to sing this song with fans at the Italy listening event, it’s clear that this song really resonated with the artists and with the fans in every sense of the word. Do you think that it will cinch a No. 1? Drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on all things Vultures.

JPEGMAFIA Plays Alternate Version Of Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s “FUK SUMN,” Crowd Goes Ballistic

JPEGMAFIA recently performed at the Pitchfork Music Festival CDMX in México on Wednesday (March 6), and played an alternate version of the VULTURES 1 cut “FUK SUMN” that made fans in the crowd go ballistic. Moreover, it’s one of a few tracks that he helped produce for Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collab album, along with the opener “STARS,” the dramatic and choral-inspired “BEG FORGIVENESS,” and the closer “KING.” This version is a bit darker and features Quavo on it, some ethereal high-pitched synths, and a slightly different structure and percussion mix. It’s a pretty solid and subtle reimagining, especially considering that we can only hear it through a live recording of it.

Furthermore, a lot of fans are wondering whether JPEGMAFIA will also help this duo out for the next installments of Vultures. However, at least at press time on VULTURES 2‘s previously scheduled release date, it doesn’t seem like this will manifest just yet. It’s March 8, and the album still isn’t out, although this is exactly what happened with the first installment of this supposed trilogy. Regardless, with some listening parties on the cards, we can’t imagine that this is an easy end to this tale.

Meanwhile, this is also pretty notable because it’s one of the first instances of Peggy acknowledging VULTURES 1 in a while. Last time, it was because of his smoke-searching with Freddie Gibbs, with whom he has a big problem and wanted to engage in beef with. While the Indiana MC responded to JPEGMAFIA in quite the unbothered and mocking way, this was still a really bizarre and unfortunate feud to witness. Maybe we’re projecting here, but their fanbase crossover is much larger than many other rap opponents out there.

Also, this continues the Baltimore creative’s staunch support of Ye, his idol, despite his far-right and antisemitic behavior. As someone who is very left-leaning in his music and interviews -– and literally made fun of not just Kanye despite his love of him, but also the black metal group whose designs the Chicago artist took inspiration from for this album rollout -– this disappointed a lot of die-hards. We’ll see how that develops over time. For more news and the latest updates on JPEGMAFIA and Vultures, log back into HNHH.

Ty Dolla $ign Reveals “VULTURES” Listening Experience In San Francisco, Leaving Fans Asking About “VULTURES 2”

Just hours after Kanye West announced a listening event for VULTURES 1 in Phoenix on March 10, Ty Dolla $ign has more news for fans. The “sidekick” revealed on his Instagram that one more location has been booked two days before their Rolling Loud performance. VULTURES will now be coming to the Bay Area, aka San Francisco, for a “listening experience” at the Chase Center. Of course, that is the new home of the Golden State Warriors. However, this news has fans biting their nails.

The reason for that is because VULTURES 2 has had little to no news around it. Fans in the comments section of Ty’s post are fearing for the worst, as many die-hard supporters of Ye do. “Can’t Wait For Vultures 2 Next Year 🗣,” one person writes. Another chimes in, “so vol 2 got pushed back, great 🥰

It will certainly be interesting to see how this all plays out in the next 48 hours or so. We have gotten very minimal updates on the progress of the album. French Montana is one of the few who have commented on the record. He provided people with a behind the scenes look video of the two creators working on some of the tracks.

Are you going to attend this show coming up, or going to their Rolling Loud performance? Is the album still in your rotation? Is it the album of the year so far, why or why not?
