Ye not dropping an album on the introduced launch date is likely one of the surest bets in hip-hop. The system is just about all the time the identical. He declares an album. He promotes the album. He provides followers a launch date. Then, following a lull on updates, the clock strikes midnight on mentioned day and…crickets. Yeezy supporters cry, complain and publish indignant GIFs on X, previously generally known as Twitter. They usually do all of it once more the subsequent time.
Thus was the case but once more on Friday (Might 3), when Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 2 didn’t drop after Ye acknowledged it might. This is not a very good time to be pump-faking, as Drake and Kendrick Lamar at present have the rap world in a tizzy. Now that Vultures 2 has been delayed as soon as once more, Ye and Ty$ would possibly as properly put it on the again burner and let followers deal with the hip-hop battle of the last decade.
Tunnel Imaginative and prescient in Hip-Hop
Rap followers appear to love to deal with one massive second at a time. And proper now, Drake and Kendrick Lamar are the principle occasion. Kendrick Lamar opened a can of worms when he dissed Drake and J. Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That” again in March. J. Cole returned hearth first a pair weeks in a while “7 Minute Drill” however threw within the towel a couple of days later. That left Drake. And apparently, Aubrey has been ready on this second for years. Drake dropped his first response, “Push Ups,” in April. Then, he doubled again with “Taylor Made Freestyle” a number of days later.
It took a couple of weeks, however Okay-Dot lastly clapped again with “Euphoria.” Earlier than followers may break down the multi-layered, Easter egg-filled response, Kendrick circled the block with “6:16 in LA” on Might 3. And identical to that (no pun supposed), hip-hop has a heavyweight battle involving two of hip-hop’s greatest titans. And followers have been laser-focused on each bar, tweet and Instagram Story since then.
Ye Desires the Highlight
Nobody hates Drake greater than Ye. So, it appeared inevitable that he would have one thing to say. He inserted himself into the meat by dissing Drake and shading J. Cole on his “Like That (Remix)” verse in late April.
“Y’all so outta sight, outta thoughts/I am unable to even consider a Drake line/Play J. Cole, get the p***y dry/Play this s**t again a hundred-thirty instances,” Ye raps on the music.
In the identical The Obtain podcast interview the place Ye debuted his “Like That (Remix)” verse, he introduced the highly-anticipated Vultures 2 collab with Ty Dolla $ign could be dropping on Might 3. Nonetheless, Ye’s rudimentary diss lacked the luster of current diss tracks from Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Quavo, J. Cole and others, and did not land like Ye hoped it might. Partially because of the delays, anticipation for the V2 album has additionally waned, because the hip-hop world has turn into immersed within the Drake versus Kendrick squabble.
At this level, it is onerous to consider something that can take all eyes off hip-hop’s Rumble within the Jungle. Ye and Ty would possibly as properly step apart and watch the carnival.
