Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have been teasing their highly anticipated collaboration, “Vultures 1,” for months now. But unfortunately, the rollout has been plagued with setbacks and controversies, leaving fans frustrated and disappointed.
Here’s a breakdown of everything that’s gone wrong for the “Vultures 1” rollout, and a few things that have gone right – kinda.
The Good:
1. The Announcement
The initial announcement of “Vultures 1” sent fans into a frenzy. The two powerhouse artists had previously collaborated on tracks like “Real Friends” and “Fade,” so the news of a joint project was met with excitement and anticipation.
2. The Teasers
In the months leading up to the release, West and Ty Dolla $ign teased fans with snippets of the project on social media. These teasers only added to the hype and built up anticipation for the final product.
3. The Tracklist
In early August, West shared a tracklist for “Vultures 1” on his Instagram, featuring 12 songs and collaborations with artists like Lil Baby, Playboi Carti, and Lil Durk. This further fueled excitement for the project and had fans eagerly awaiting its release.
The Bad:
1. The Delay
Originally set to drop on August 6th, the release date for “Vultures 1” was pushed back multiple times, leaving fans frustrated and confused. West cited “finishing touches” as the reason for the delay, but this only added to the growing disappointment surrounding the project.
2. The Controversy
In the midst of the delays, West and Ty Dolla $ign faced backlash for their collaboration with controversial rapper DaBaby. Many fans called for the removal of DaBaby from the tracklist, citing his recent homophobic comments and behavior.
3. The Leaks
As the release date continued to be pushed back, several tracks from “Vultures 1” were leaked online. This not only spoiled the surprise for fans but also raised concerns about the security of the project and the artists’ ability to keep it under wraps.
The Ugly:
1. The Legal Battle
In late August, West and Ty Dolla $ign were hit with a lawsuit from a photographer who claimed they used his image without permission for the cover art of “Vultures 1.” This added another layer of chaos to the already troubled rollout.
2. The Missing Features
Despite the initial tracklist featuring collaborations with several high-profile artists, the final version of “Vultures 1” was missing many of these features. This left fans disappointed and wondering what happened to the promised collaborations.
3. The Reception
After months of delays, controversies, and leaks, “Vultures 1” finally dropped on September 3rd to mixed reviews. While some fans praised the project for its production and lyricism, others felt let down by the lack of features and the overall chaotic rollout.
In conclusion, the “Vultures 1” rollout has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. While the initial announcement and teasers generated excitement, the delays, controversies, and leaks have left fans feeling let down. Only time will tell if the project will be able to overcome these setbacks and stand on its own as a successful collaboration between two talented artists.
