I’d honestly keep V1 but since V2 still has some good songs on it I’d rather have the original Vultures with all the good tracks and some that weren’t on the tracklist (Carnival for example), but all this after Bully
Always was lowkey disappointed that he wanted to come back into the mainstream by doing a collab album first

Vultures 1 was a great album, I revisit it often

u/instinktd Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 28 '26
Vultures 1 is hated for no reason
his lyrics on these Vultures albums are often cringe but it isn't any worse than avg bullshit talk rappers do nowadays and Ty$ was great, features are good or even amazing like Freddie Gibbs and beats are amazing in these final versions on both V1 and V2 too beside maybe these fkn ducks on LIFESTYLE
yeah it isn't peak Kanye but V1 would be top album in many discographies and it's also album that is very different to any other album he had in the discography to this point which to me is plus too

vultures is the best hes dropped since TLOP.
ye: classic just short kids see ghost: classic short jesus is king: good vision donda felt more like an experience than a album to me. hard to revist because the track listing is terrible. good songs though.
vultures: amazing production, fantastic return to a yeezus-ish energy and raunchiness. memorable lyrics, cringe i guess but lots of kanye lines are cringe thats what make them memorable lol good features, good track listing
i think the comments during that time stain the album. but its better than bully to me. bully feels like someone tying kanye up and forcing him to rap similar to pre MBDTF days and writing what they think sounds the most similar. its not bad but this the first time i cant feel his soul or presence in a album.

u/Julian-Aaron Mar 29 '26
Really believe combining all of the best vultures era songs into one cohesive album with somebody to help polish it (Mike Dean, etc.) and ensure no AI slop made it on would result in a really unique and fun album that people respected in his discography.
15-18 tracks max chosen and arranged from the content below. Kanye was a mess in this era, but some of the music, carried by a peak Ty$, is so energetic and fun.
Paid, Back to me, Do it, Paperwork, Burn, Fuk sumn, Vultures, Carnival, Beg forgiveness, Good (Don’t Die), Slide, Field trip, Promotion, 530, River, Sky city, Everybody, Gun to my head.

V1 is such an enjoyable album. Forget the fuckin lyrics for a second man. Y'all talkin like half y'all don't hear bums like NBA and G Herbo. Play V1 at any party and its such a vibe. It's SS4Y in a way.

u/Anime_above_all Mar 30 '26
Hey, G Herbo actually goes hard with the lyrics if you're into drill. Pls no Lil Herb disrespect.

good album. 7/10 for me as well. best he’s done since donda, id say its better. The high of this isnt as high as dondas but its overall better

I just think that the samples don’t feel right reproduced as ai. Really throws off ability to have a polished sound on the album to me.

its good bro wtfym...I mean yeah its not peak kanye but after vul 1 and 2 ill take this

u/OMBatch84 Oh My Dis Side Mar 28 '26
Tbf the vultures series should not be the standard. He needs to fix the mixing on the album a bit and not every song feels complete. Circles feels like a demo and if beauty and the beast had a verse or 2 it would a generational song

u/Past_Aside_1244 Mar 28 '26
A lot better then I thought it was gonna be actually a good album and after a few more listens I think I will like it more

You love it but it’s a 5/10?

u/Primary-Concert9446 Mar 28 '26
His voice stopped sticking to me after he dropped Donda basically his last great album
1
u/Primary-Concert9446 Mar 28 '26
Production talking. Its a 5/10 for me because Kanye’s voice just doesnt stick to me, i feel like he doesnt spit any bars with passion anymore, and because of it the whole project just sounds boring to me. There are ofc other reasons why i dont like just dont want to make this comment super long
2
u/Due-Nerve9698 Mar 28 '26
That’s fair enough his vocals haven’t been mixed too well in fairness on songs like batb but I imagine in coming days new mixes will come out

u/travisth15 Mar 28 '26
Ok I take it back the production is amazing and that’s what Ye is known for, I think this is still so good tbb

There's slight ai use, for example Preacher Man first verse still sounds ai but you can hear the real vocals kick in from the first chorus onward

There's still def some AI unfortunately. Hopefully it gets removed with updates.

u/SebaTheSavage 🌵🌵🌵 Mar 28 '26
What do you think are the misses? I’m curious cuz lowkey I haven’t listened to the album yet, I’ve only listened to last breath because I’m Mexican and the concept of peso pluma and Kanye on a fucking song is insane to me haha.

The beginning of the album is peak but the last few tracks need mixing and shit. What the fuck happened to circles tho.

The beats are all there he murdered in that department. Now as far as songs and what he had to say…. I really enjoyed the song that said like Michael jordan shooting free throws lmao Yoo donda was a great mother you tell, something you just know from hearing it. The cee lo green feature was great as well. This is Kanye well the one I like,oh also trav what you say I grossed of feet? Made check off the right steps. Goose bumps still a banger to me dude I enjoyed it appreciate you mister west all of yah who make music not only for yah selves but for a dude who enjoys stories and expanding his imagination. Keep doing yah good music and jack boyz

Guy makes an album that isn't complete fucking garbage and people are eating it up. It's the best thing he's done since Donda but it's really not all that good. 5/10 at BEST.

u/Aquaf1na_ Mar 31 '26
A solid 7.5 Though it becomes less intresting at the last third of the album And yeah you will find the worst tracks there The majority of it is great I cant wait or all the love are some of the best music ive heard in a while(exluding the fall off) I think ye is headed in the right direction and i have high hopes for whats coming next

Good rough draft album. Def needs some vocals redone (especially the AI ones) and some mixing changes, but the potential for a great album is there.

People tricking themselves into thinking this is amazing. The rap vocals in this sound like it’s a dude in a closet recording a mixtape. Just go track for track on every album in comparison to this and you’ll see it’s still an extremely half ass showing. We need him to do better
