Kanye West and Ty Dolla review $ign's Vultures 1: DOA

Kanye West's myth-making project has more than a little fallen apart and he seems to be tired of moving on. in Yeezus “I am a god,” he declared. Eagle 1, his new album with Ty Dolla $ign, doesn't try to surpass or even match that experience. Instead, he faces Mike Tyson He speaks About the song, which is more than ten years old.

“He sounds crazy, and that's the leader's voice,” Iron Mike says, in a rare interlude on an album dominated by West's voice, his fears and his grievances. “There's no doubt about it. He's got some damn mental issues, and most executives have them too. Fake theme: 'I'm a god.'” Tyson's speech may represent how small West's ambitions are, and it echoes one of the most provocative statements in hip-hop history. These days he didn't even bother calling himself Ye anymore.

Eagle 1 Not deeply interested in Western life. What does it mean to lose over a billion dollars to gross anti-Semitism? Are you consciously designing your new wife like your old wife? Was it worth it? are you happy? West prefers to answer these questions with sarcastic sarcasm, as in the line in the title song: “I just fucked a Jewish bitch.”

West sometimes reaches a state of introspection the way a drunk might have a hangover. An honest line here, a stray revelation there; Incidental byproducts of his real project, which is, and perhaps always has been, making itself look cool. Most of the time, West prefers to keep things vague, beyond jokes about D-rated parents. On “BURN,” he gloats about his downfall, inflates his wealth, and sings “pain.”

Who doesn't enjoy my pain?
Who won't cash a check in my name?
When my campaign became Cam-Pain
I burned eight billion to take off my chains

Much of the album is like this, where there is widespread complaining and trolling. On the closing track “KING” he shouts on the hook: “'Bipolar anti-Semitic lunatic' / And I'm still the KING!”, so fans can defend it as an impression of his detractors rather than an outright confession of hatred. towards the Jews.
