Coming off his first of the vultures trilogy: “Vultures 1” with Ty Dolla $ign, Kanye West released the lowly anticipated “Vultures 2.” After delaying the release of the album for about five months, it was finally released on all platforms on Aug. 3. As mediocre as an album can get, “Vultures 2” also finds a way to be repetitive and unoriginal.
The most notable seventh track, “Husband,” delivers West’s raw vocals, which features a lot of auto tune. This song also shows how West may not be a great vocalist, but he somewhat saved it with the soft and smooth melody.
The most notable tenth track of the album, “Bomb,” features both of West’s kids: Chicago and North West. This track showed how West and Dolla $ign didn’t spend much time on the filler tracks.
The most notable 12th track, “530,” showed a little more potential in how “Vultures 2” could perform on the billboard. This was easily one of the better songs on the album, showing passion and emotion from both West and Dolla $ign.
The most notable sixth track, “Promotion,” displayed the best beat, melody and flow of West on the entire album. What could have made this track a little better was less extreme lyricism and Dolla $ign not having his own verse.
The notable 15th track, “Sky City,” showed a meaning of having hope when times get hard and showed deep meaning which was one of the only songs on the album that showed that.
Overall, West and Dolla $ign’s “Vultures 2” showed the devastating fate of music coming out this decade. Although having some mediocre moments, this album still showed more flaws and showed the downward spiral West’s music is going down.
Like many people, I feel as if some songs on this album such as “Bomb” and “Husband” were not tracks on this album, the reputation of it could’ve been better. I feel that if this album was never released, West’s own reputation could be saved.
Although not being as great as it could’ve been, I’d say this album was decent and I give it a 5 out of 10.
