Transcripts
hi everyone Anthony fantano here the
internet's most corrected music
nerd let's talk about a topic big topic
this week being the final uh release
we've been waiting we've been waiting
for quite a while for the full entire
and complete drop of the second
installment in Kanye and tid dollis
sign's vultures album series vultures 2
which has been pushed back weeks and
weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks it's
taken so long to get here uh so long in
fact it's kind of making me wonder are
are we ever going to see vultures 3 and
if we are is it going to be even
released this year I mean it's a good
question it's a good question
considering the timeline that brought us
to this point however right now whether
or not we get vultures 3 may not even be
something that is on the minds of a
anyone right now even some of Kanye's
most hardcore fans what remains of them
now anyway because the reception online
for vultures 2 so far has been pretty
fraking terrible I mean it has to be
because I've been seeing numerous uh
comments on my YouTube videos especially
my fake play Silly skit vultures 2
review as well as comments and mentions
on social media uh apologizing to me for
attacking me and harass harassing me and
slandering me uh during my
unreviewable commentary on Kanye's first
vulture record and basically the general
commentary I was giving about this uh
you know current ERA of his career cuz I
guess the quality of vultures 2 again is
so poor that it's pretty much proven
nearly everything I've had to say about
Kanye at this point correct the
creativity is not there his mind is not
there the effort is not there the music
most importantly is not there and
vultures 2 is just proving to be the
proof of that staring you blankly in the
face with no filter no nothing
completely raw dogging it just
uninhibited laziness and bad ideas now
before I go any further into this video
I will make it admission I've have not
heard this album and I have no plans on
hearing this album I don't want to
listen to it I don't want to review it I
don't want to assess the music on it or
the quality of the art on it because
again uh given even Kanye's most
hardcore fans are disappointed by it and
believe me many of them swallowed
vultures one happily and that album was
total crap in order for them to actually
be disgusted and disappointed with the
quality of vultures 2 it has to be
unquestionably one of the worst things
to be release this year and how could it
not be given some of the most ridiculous
aspects of the album uh that have been
brought up online since its release for
example the track 530 off of the record
uh has been shown to be just a
lowquality YouTube rip yeah it's just
basically an unfinished demo that got
thrown onto the record but even more
weirdly uh there are bars and flows on
this record that are not actually Kanye
rapping it's um AI Kanye which I guess
is the case for the first verse on the
song Sky City which to me is wild like I
feel like it's one thing to be uh some
kind of you know uh bedroom producer
doing a thing and you're trying to make
some sort of Kanye parody or copy and
then I I don't know you get your hands
on some kind of AI vocal interface and
then you uh rrap a fake Kanye verse I
mean it's not great and I feel like uh
that technology has been kind of abused
in weird ways as of late but again I
feel like that's one thing but it's
another thing to be doing that and and
and in your in your Kanye you can just
use your own voice bro you can just be
the guy that you are aiing because you
are actually in fact that guy and just
leaving verses like this on the record
presenting in the way that you are is
just frakin lazy of course also there
are multiple uncleared samples on the
record which uh is is not too much of a
surprise because he keeps doing this and
every sing single time he just doesn't
really learn his lesson I mean why would
his fans presume he's clearing any
samples at this point anymore and of
course because of this and a bunch of
other things just generally being issues
on the album like a mixing and uh
unfinished vocal performances that are
pretty mumbly yeah once again Kanye is
kind of changing and completing the
album in real time which was kind of
cute and kind of interesting and and did
lead to ultimately a better product when
it came to uh the life of Pablo as the
gradually improved version of that
record was quite a bit better than the
first one that came out on streaming
services but aren't we tired of this
whole routine at this point with Kanye
like it's not funny anymore try
different jokes it's just getting old
it's just getting stale can't we just
hear the album how it should be the
first time out of the gate is that not a
thing that we can do anymore do we have
to peace meal the whole goddamn thing
every fraking album cycle also it seems
like some of the issues and problems on
this record are so goddamn glaring they
shouldn't have to be fixed after the
fact Kanye is putting this thing out
like it's his first rodeo as if he
hasn't sold millions of copies of albums
across his career again with the quality
level that this is at we're no longer
getting like you know a cool behindth
scenes look into like the process of his
creativity and how he brings things from
a rough idea to a complete idea no
what's happening now is clearly that he
doesn't give a [Â __Â ] and he'll pretty
much put out anything even the musical
equivalent of a turd that is so bad it
doesn't really matter how much you
change it or alter it it's still going
to be a turd and not only is it clear at
this point that Kanye doesn't really
care about the presentation and the
quality of the music but he doesn't
really care about his fans either cuz as
I was saying earlier like things have
gotten so bad and so desperate they're
apologizing to me also starting Reddit
threads about me saying yeah fantano if
you want to say this is unreviewable I
won't argue which like for for an artist
of Kanye size and an artist with with
Kanye's sometimes sycophantic fan base
is really goddamn embarrassing like your
fans are literally on your subreddit
telling you that your record is so
goddamn [Â __Â ] that me the most sexy thick
and notable music reviewer of my
generation that I would be well within
my right to pretty much uh like in the
meat Canyon video pull down my pants and
take a dump on your album which I would
happily do if it was actually even worth
doing that in the first place but it's
not because truly and honestly again I
don't want to listen to it because doing
so would be a waste of my time a waste
of your time audience that would
potentially watch that review and I
would probably just the entire time
listening to the record be feeling
secondhand embarrassment for You Kanye
an artist whose Fall From Grace at this
point has uh become so tragic and so sad
and so disappointing that I don't even
get the kind of rise out of it that you
would uh with let's say a dumpster fire
or a train wreck that you can't look
away from cuz it really has gotten that
bad and dragged out I don't want to look
at the train wreck anymore I really
don't want to stare at it anymore the
last thing I want to do is spend one
more goddamn second looking at this
train wreck and if the album is this bad
and is getting this kind of reaction
again like I can only imagine how
terrible vultures 3 is going to be but
yeah Kanye is barely flowing if it's
even his Goddamn voice on the record the
production is ass mixing is ass songs
are ass it's all of his fans that were
totally on board for vultures one uh who
are pretty much confirming this with
only maybe a few stragglers here and
there uh willing to either go completely
balls deep and say yeah it's amazing
it's album of the Year bro it's album of
the year but when you're not seeing that
the most reasonable and complimentary
things I've heard about the record from
his fans uh is just that well you know
like it sucks and it's total crap and
it's unlistenable but but there are some
good ideas there they just need to get
cleaned up they were in in business baby
but the thing is Kanye does not have the
ability or the focus or the capacity to
self-edit that he once did and as a
result of that you're you're never going
to hear these songs you're never going
to hear these songs in a state where
they would actually be presentable in a
way where they would likely resonate
with anybody outside of the Kanye cult
they're forever going to be in the dark
sunken place because at this point Kanye
is completely fraking cooked and we need
to stop kidding ourselves about that
just move on listen and pay attention to
other things there are other interesting
things going on in the world of music
that are not Kanye continuing to ruin
his goddamn career do yourselves and do
him as well a favor if you actually care
about this man's music and his Artistry
uh do everything that you can to
maintain a positive View and outlook on
that by just ignoring the new crap and
just listening to the old stuff that
actually mattered actually had impact
was actually significant because I
guarantee the more you watch this slow
motion ulation that is happening uh the
more difficult it's going to be to look
back on a lot of those older records and
even see Merit in them because this is
goddamn embarrassing and I'm going to
leave it there over here next to my head
