Not only that, if he actually fleshed out the tracks as well.

Dude I totally agree, it's so awkward next to the rest of the Vultures era songs

Remember when Ye announced that he would add Hurricane to Donda, and the released version had a different instrumental/verse?

People didn't like the change at first, but in retrospect it was a great decision because it fit the vibe of the album.

Now he does the opposite, keeps the song as is, and it sounds like s***. It's almost like Ye is doing exactly what people ask for to prove a point; artist intuition > appeasing the fans

Or he's really gotten that lazy in recent years idk

I just don’t understand why not save it for a solo album? It’s a solo song about his divorce on a collab album and it sticks out like a sore thumb I’ve never seen him try to appease people so hard

The Led Zeppelin sample did a lot of the heavy lifting on that one

Ok. Haven't listened to the new mix yet.
It just always felt very loud to me. Or is it just me?

Like Problematic on V1

I wonder if he'd be so quick to cater to the fans if Carnival never went viral, and V1 flopped

Switch Fried or 530 out for Lifestyle and I agree with this.

Lifestyle over 5:30 is fine by me I fw it but don’t think it fits the album at all

No your right it was loud af you couldn’t hear a word on kodaks verse. But now they’ve just went polo opposite and made the vocals super loud and neutered the beat

the tracks def needed work, but even if he released the above track-list + songs were in the condition they were when they leaked, and we never heard them before, we'd probably be very happy rn

leaks usually add hype, but this time around, the leaks completely killed the Vultures era

Carnival going #1 was honestly a bad thing long term cause he’s just hit chasing I’m still baffled can u be got a release but atleast he did change it to fit the album more

I think it was more so that Time Moving Slow was too quiet.

adding 530, Sky City, Can U Be, and My Soul destroyed any integrity the Vultures series had as an artistic statement. now it just comes off as a washed racist boomer making meme music. very cringe

I feel like he's trying too hard to fit into today's era opposed to just being himself.

If he raps like he did when he was in his prime, this s*** would be classic.

Ty's been carrying & I'm not even a fan of his.

BURN and the BACK TO ME instrumental were the closest things we got to Ye being himself and both were half-assed

Burn is cool but it's fleeting. Ye used to be able to s*** out tracks like that in his sleep and the middle section of BACK TO ME is so schizophrenic it's hard to enjoy without a heavy does of irony

Like bro, he decided to do dumb s*** on a track with Freddie F***ing Gibbs...

You think "Rosewood" or "LR" era Ye would let something like that slide?
