¥$ (Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign) - Vultures 1 (Discussion Thread)

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Carnival is an anthem.

This is an independently released album from an artist who has pissed off the one group it’s forbidden to attack.
Either one of those things will result in crickets and both is basically uncharted territory for someone of such fame.
Don’t expect any algorithmic amplification whatsoever.

We used to sacrifice nikkas like you

They buried this album on Apple Music and no one in media is talking about it. They are definitely blackballing him

The goofy nikka changed the cover to make his mask black instead of white. I had it added with the white mask, the shyt wouldn’t work any more, I had to click on him and Ty name, click add the new mask color album, shyt still wouldn’t show up. I had to delete the unplayable white mask version, then search again to add the new version Why would that goofy want folks to go through all that just for a fukking mask color?

 

[FappleMeOff]

yeah Carnival slaps, can’t deny it

Like it a bit more after a few listens

Not sure how many are paying attention to THE story in music right now which is the rights fees battle between the labels and TikTok leading UMG to yank their catalog.
Many hundreds of people have been hired for many millions of dollars to attempt to hack the TikTok algorithm on behalf of the labels.
Considering this chaotic album is tailor made for the platform will be interesting to see if they perhaps put their thumb on the scale to amplify it. Vultures is not from an “independent” label with Sony distribution. It’s basically Kanye uploading it himself.
Would be a huge middle finger to the labels.
Just food for thought.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Surprised how easy of a listen this was.

Enjoyed better than Donda. So is Demon time Perv Kanye official back and defeated TradCon ye? Lol

Billboard are going to be so pissed watching this chart.

All the money he is going to make is going to be his.

What do you mean hack ? Like trying to get labels songs to blow on TikTok ? With bots ?

This is why they’re trying to bury it. The bigger acts are going to cut the labels after their contracts expire.

It’s not that simple. There’s a million different theories about what causes TikTok virality most revolving around what visually appears in the first second a video is on.

 

[FukYaFeelings]
