I mean if Vultures 3 is back to Vultures 1 quality I wouldn’t be mad at it.
I still have the Vultures title track and Paid in rotation. Actually I just realized there is no bad song on the album. Just Carnival got overplayed

Yeezus, as great as it is, was the start of the fall. It was the album where he realized he could last minute record vocals and turn it in last second and the fans would still rock with it. Also where he ramped up his vulgarity a whole nother level, and stayed at that level for his next 2 albums.

Now--I still see Yeezus as the last "prime" Kanye album, but it began the bad habits that weren't there before that album.

Vultures era will get its respect in a few years when he's back on Jesus music

Bro, I can't breath

I mean, people said "808s" was a (fall off) album back in the day.

S*** was recorded in 2 weeks but sounds amazing from a musical standpoint.

"Yeezus" is def his last true prime outing. (imo)

When he really began to dip his toes into other ventures is when his music began to be sloppy.

you might need some of that

I never seen it this way. What was “last second” about Yeezus? This was the last album of his that leaked via CD. Shoutout retrograde

Correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t Kanye been working on albums until the very last minute literally his entire career? I think that’s always been his process

The Teyana Taylor vocals on "Dark Fantasy" were recorded minutes before turning the album into Def Jam.

I remember him bragging about spending "5000 hours" perfecting Power or the infamous story about how much time it took for him to finally be happy with Stronger once Timbo helped him with the drums. A few last minute vocals here and there? Sure. He wrote "Heard Em Say" and "All Falls Down" in 15 minutes, though supposedly spent a long time perfecting both. Entire verses and, as he said--half the entire albums vocals? That started on Yeezus. He himself was surprised at how well it turned out/was received. Said he recorded over half the album in "2 hours"

"Five songs still needed vocals and two or three of them still needed lyrics. He said, ‘Don’t worry, I will score 40 points for you in the fourth quarter.’ In the two hours before had to run out to catch the plane, he did exactly that: finished all lyrics and performed them with gusto."

If you look up "Yeezus recorded last minute" one of the first links is a reddit thread from 12 years ago on HHH talking about how rushed it was and how it's his worst project. Though a few brave souls say its a top 3 Ye album "after sleeping on it" lol

I remember he posted a "I Am A God" video of him in the studio with Rubin laying down the vocals for that track the day before it released lol almost impossible to find these days, though--other than articles. Video itself has disappeared

sad :/ no one’s told him yet

Wow Kanye West!

who tf asked for this s*** man

vultures 2 was a vultures too far already

Yeezus is top 3 lol

give us a snippet pleaseeee

Vultures 2 is better than Vultures 1

Vultures 2 gang we outchea

Ignoring the AI slop, Vultures 2 is missing the finishing touch the songs on Vultures 1 had. If you listen to something like Back to Me, you can hear how much work they put into it. It's missing something like Paperwork or Hoodrat which in my opinion are new type of beats and flows Ye never tried before.

But yeah Slide, TMS, Promotion and River are great songs. The only songs I really dislike are Forever and Sky City. Forever just sounds too empty. Sky City AI is too jarring and song doesn’t fit the album

Maybe if it was finished 💔 V2 wasted potential imo, listening to them b2b V1 just sounds a lot more cohesive and not as jarring.
Full of copium for V3 though with songs like don't kill the party and afterlyfe

Malik Yusef posted being in Japan with the caption #BULLY

Bully soon

Let’s not do this

the last two major shifts in music were Beyoncé's self titled album changing new releases to Fridays, and Ye's TLOP making it acceptable to release unfinished music. their influence

Malik says BULLY has Ye's "best production ever"

He also liked another comment asking for no AI on the album
