The names that appear on Kanye West’s “Vultures” album

Kanye West has become a trend through social networks and surprisingly, as one is used to, it was not so much because of a controversy but because of the release of their new studio album “Vultures” that finally saw the light of day.

In the early hours of February 10th (and after Ozzy Osbourne accidentally previewed an earlier listening party), Kanye West released his new album on streaming platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music and Tidal.

Kanye West’s album “Vultures” finally saw the light

No one knows exactly why “Vultures” didn’t make it into Spotify’s catalog or platforms like YouTube, but apparently the memes and reactions to the album focused squarely on West’s decision to release his album on apps . specific.

Back on topic – and as we mentioned – Yes Album also attracted attention because The rapper decided to release one of the previous singles, “Everybody.” after sampling the popular Backstreet Boys song of the same name without permission.

And as is usual with Yes, he has already been embroiled in controversy

The collaborations on “Vultures” were also a topic among fans. And not just his daughter, northwestHe appeared as a musical guest, but we’ve also heard songs where Kanye teamed up with artists like… Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, Freddie Gibbs, the late Nipsey Hussle and Chris Brown.

But as is his wont, Ye wanted to stir up controversy with his songs. Or that’s the only thing we can think of after seeing this Kanye refers to several celebrities such as Taylor Swift, North West, Elon Musk, Bill Cosby and morein the songs of “Vultures”.

These are some of the names that appear on Kanye West’s “Vultures” album

If you’re not a West fan and want to catch up on the gossip without playing any of the songs, or if you’ve simply listened to the songs and missed a reference or two, Here we leave you with some of the names that appear on Kanye West’s new album “Vultures”.:

Elon Musk (“Back to Me” and “Carnival”)

In the fifth track of Vultures, we mention that Kanye mentions the CEO of Tesla and says: ““I just turned into a bitch for my ex like he was Elon.”. Something he repeats again in “Carnival,” where Ye says: “Elon, where is my rocket? It’s time to go home.”

The references to Elon Musk are not surprising, because let’s remember In December 2022, X’s account was blocked for Ye after William Morris Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel posted a photo of Elon Musk getting wet with a hose.

Musk explained this The suspension was actually due to a series of images in favor of National Socialism (actually due to an image of a swastika merged with the Star of David), although ultimately it seems as if both have since severed their friendly relations.

Northwest (“Speeches”)

Kanye’s eldest daughter not only appears as a featured artist on the album’s fourth song, but also Kanye West talks about his role as a father and how afraid he is of becoming a bad example for North West and his sons.

“How much can I prevent my daughter from growing up? I just can’t stand it now… I don’t know how to tell you, but your father is just afraid of your decisions, I know I’ve been through this. I just hope I wasn’t the wrong influence.”, Ye sings in this song.

Janet Jackson (“Fuk Sumn”)

Janet Jackson has previously worked with Kanye West. For example, the rapper wrote the song “I Want You” from the singer’s album “Damita Jo”, and we also hear it in the song “My Baby” from the same album, released in 2004.

Now, In “Fuk Sumn,” Kanye West mentions the late Michael Jackson’s sister, implying that he had sex with her: “I’m trying to fuck something… Janet Jackson, I made her scream by the way. He came into the group chat and said, “That black guy made me fake it.”

Benjamin Franklin (“Paperwork”)

It’s not clear to us why either Kanye West Mentions America’s Founding Father in ‘Paperwork’ but the rapper says that Benjamin Franklin is his neighbor.

Takeoff and Gabriel Casso (“Vultures”)

In this song, Ye also mentions the NBA player, Jimmy Butler, Cardi B and even the Columbine High School massacrewhich took place in 1999. But who is specifically mentioned are two deceased rappers: Takeoff and Gabriel Casso.

“I wish Takeoff hadn’t been there that night in Houston, Texas… I wish I could bring G.Ca$$o back, that was my best friend.” they sing Ty Dolla $ign & Kanye West in the eleventh song, which also gives the album its title.

In November 2022, Takeoff (known for Be part of the trap group Migos) was murdered at a bowling alley in Houstonwhere he played dice with his uncle and his bandmate, Quavowhen a shootout occurred that took his life.

On his part Gabriel Casso was a rapper who died at the hands of New York police in April 2021. who shot him several times when they mistook him for two criminals they were pursuing.

Taylor Swift (“Carnival”)

If you thought you were traumatized by your exes, look at Kanye West and his obsession with Taylor Swift. Although the American singer has already abandoned his plane and tried to avoid it at all costs, Ye remains committed to incorporating Swift into his work.

We’ve already seen him do this by interrupting Taylor’s speech at the 2009 VMAs, then inserting a wax image of the singer into the video for “Famous” and even accusing her of lying about her attendance. Now, In “Vultures,” Kanye repeats the same formula.

“She’ll take it up the ass like a ventriloquist. I’ve made six Taylor Swifts since I’ve had the Rollie on my wrist. I’m the new Jesus, bitch“I turn the water to Christ,” West says in the song “Carnival.” which ended up not containing the sample of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” (which Ozzy Osbourne didn’t give him permission to do).

Once again, Ye boasts that he supposedly made six stars famous. In his opinion, Taylor Swift is the greatest of them…

R. Kelly, Puff Daddy and Bill Cosby (“Carnival”)

Only someone like Kanye West could compare himself to these three great characters and be proud of it. We don’t say it figuratively, but because the rapper himself says that he is currently like her (because he is so canceled).

Let’s remember this If R. Kelly, Puff Daddy and Bill Cosby have anything in common, it’s that they have all been accused of sexual assault and abuse. Reasons (plenty of course) why her career has plummeted in recent years.

The Pope (“Problematic”)

Yes, even the Pope got mushy on Kanye West’s new album. And that’s it In “Problematic,” Ye asserts that he imposes so much trend that even the leader of the Vatican copies everything he does.

“That Pope, as leader of the Vatican, does it again. Anything I do, they do it, I think Yeezy set the trend.”. And we’re in this bitch again, it’s time to get rich again.You can hear them saying.

No, because now Kanye hasn’t limited himself to the number of names and references in his new album “Vultures”. What other name or situation did you identify in Kanye West’s new songs?
