Not sure what's so funny about a self identified Nazi meeting a white supremacist but ok I guess.

Kanye West Drops Song With North West and Diddy Against Kim Kardashian's Wishes

Every time I think Kanye can't go lower, he makes a song featuring the vocals of his 11 year old daughter alongside the voice of a pedophilic sex criminal. Utterly vile.

Good grief.

I laughed because of how absurd it is.

Sometimes, laughing is all you can do. Kanye's antics a year or two ago were hard to look away from because they were novel at the time. Now I scroll through my feed (or more accurately, a few weeks ago I did) and learn that Kanye is selling swastika merch. I was so totally unphased and unsurprised by that I just kept scrolling, and I didn't even question it. 

Based on some of his recent tweets though, if he doesn't get some help, or someone that actually cares about him doesn't intervene soon, I don't think there's going to be a happy ending for him unfortunately.

Kanye has gotten way more grace than he deserves.

Fair enough. I understand making fun of people like these, they're pathetic and absurd ofc. I guess I just wasn't seeing the joke JJ was seeing in that 6 second Fuentes clip but I guess I get the idea now. I apologize if I came off as accusatory. I have some personal trauma about overt naziism being so flagrantly displayed and that does affect my perception of things.

He dropped his newest album on Youtube. Anyone listen to it yet?

I really don't like this whole "this album is a work in progress and may be subject to changes in the future" shit. Release the fucking album when it's done and then leave it alone.

Agree.

I heard a little bit a few days ago and thought it was shit.

Sounded like it needed to be more aggressive. I don't want to hear laid back, AI singing shit. Bully (the title) sounds like it should be confrontational and abrasive but the music sounded more like he was a bully victim.

I just listened to it a couple times. I didn't think it was shit, but didn't think it was great either. It seemed a little bit emotionless, even with some nice sample selections. It was definitely better than Vultures or Donda though. By the time he 'finishes' the album (assuming he ever even does), I probably won't be interested any longer.

I would've been down for more aggression, as Yeezus is my favorite Kanye record.

By the time he finishes the album, it will sound different. I also thought it was meh but to put it above Vultures 1 is weird to me. Vultures 1 was so dope. I could see if you said Vultures 2 maybe. I also wish Vultures 3 came out but who knows what he did with that material.

I don't think it'll sound different in the sense that the currently released songs will get major changes, but the flow and general mood of the album might seem different holistically. But the risk you run as an artist when you release a work-in-progress album like this (which is more of an EP currently) is that if I'm not crazy about what you currently have on offer, I might not be interested in 6 months/year/etc. when you finally properly finish it. It's not exactly fair to the artist, but I'd argue it's not entirely fair to the listener either. If you want me to listen to the whole album, then just release it when it's ready and don't let me draw what could be a middling first impression from something that isn't complete.

Admittedly, I only gave Vultures 1 a couple listens when it first came out and it just didn't impress me at the time (I did think it was quite a bit better than Donda though). I haven't listened to it in a long while, so maybe a revisit is due. I remember one of my impressions being that I didn't think there was much chemistry between Ye/Ty Dolla $ign.
