Kanye West - Vultures 2 ALBUM REVIEW

Lyrics

[Intro: Anthony Fantano, Cal Chuchesta] Huh... Wellthony Damntano here, the internet's busiest music nerd, and it's time for a review of Kanye West's brand new LP, Vultures 2. A 2? You give Ye's latest and greatest work a 2? It's just the title of the album. I knew you were biased before, Anthony, but this is... is another level! I just said the title of the album. At least before when you were biased, you prеtended to have a wholе opinion! "Oh, the mix, I don't like the mix!" I was just saying the title. That's... that's all I was doing. But just saying Vultures is a 2 without even a reason is bad! For even you, Anthony, it's bad! I have a whole review for the second Vultures album here. You do? Yeah. Are you gonna let me... speak it? Into the camera? Yeah, sure. I- I would like to hear that. Sorry... for jumping the gun. [Review: Anthony Fantano, Cal Chuchesta, Music playing from Cal's laptop speakers] Okay. Producer, singer, rapper, songwriter, Kanye West, with his second full-length album this year. And if you guys remember- Okay, there he goes again. What? What is wrong now? I don't know how to say this but, nobody's impressed with your "memories." Have you tried simply just not remembering anything? 'Cause I- I think it's getting in the way of just a good, quality Vultures 2 review. No, I- I haven't tried that. No. I mean, you're not even remembering things right anyway. What? Like when Kanye said he's a Nazi and that he sees good things about Hitler? I mean, look at him. How can he see good things about Hitler when his face is covered, he can't see nothing! Oh, come on! It's conceptual! This is cope. You are coping. Okay, they said you're mid on the Apple Music page. *burp* That's kinda hilarious, actually. Okay, look, hot take here, but society isn't nice enough to bad people when they do bad stuff. ...What? Like, can't we just move on? ....From things? ...That are happening in the present? Okay, but you review other bad people. Ugh... like who? Like uh... rappers? All the rappers. So, artists writing songs about their violent upbringings due very much to poverty, lack of opportunity, systematic racism and oppression is as bad, if not worse, than openly endorsing Nazism and fascism, which led to horrors such as the Holocaust? Okay, what about this? Okay, I have not reviewed that total freak in over 10 years. And in my last video talking about him, I said I would stop reviewing his stuff because he's really too weird and racist to have anything to do with. Not to mention there were much bigger music publications than me at the time covering his work. But yeah, I've ignored him since as I have, uh- other underground artists who have fascist leanings too, because I just feel like that's a sensible thing to do. That doesn't matter. You have to have never changed your mind on anything in over a decade in order for me to take you seriously. Okay, be real. What is it exactly you want from me? Anthony, please, just review the music! That's all we want you to do. You're making this about everything other than the music. You're not a bad guy behavior reviewer or a fanbase that's cultish and stupid and ignorant and won't listen to reason and is totally dumb and moronic and not worth a lick of shit 'cause they're a bunch of dumb trolls that are total fucking idiots... behavior... reviewer. You're a music reviewer! Remember why you started this channel, guy: the music! You just loved music so much, you couldn't stop talking about it! It made you happy, gave you feelings... remember when music used to give you a big boner? Don't tell everyone that. I remember, and buddy, you got a missile on ya. But Anthony, at some point, you lost your way. You lost sight of the music. But you can do better. You can go back to the old you and just talk about and just love the music, again! You know what? Maybe you're right. So what do you say we listen to this bad boy together, and you give your opinion on just the music? Yeah, let's listen to the album, together. Let's do it! *chipmunked soul sample playing* See? It's pretty good. Wow! Wow. He's bringing back the old Kanye, chop up the soul, Kanye! My hair is standing up on my arm! Here it comes! *beat drops and fart noises ensue as Anthony's excitement turns into confusion* Oh, yeah. That's the stuff. *Anthony still confused* I'm feeling it too, buddy. I'm feeling it too. This just sounds like farts. Why is it all farts? Why is it such loud farts? This beat is sick! When does Kanye come in!? Okay, just be patient. My guy i- is a- is an autore. He's creating moments, okay? This kinda sucks! Can you just... turn it off? Oh, man, how does he do it? He must have got Rick Rubin back in the studio. *indistinct Playboi Carti mumbling* What is that? This is Playboi Carti's part, let him cook! *Carti mumbling continues* Oh my gosh, it's the verse of the year! It's the verse of the year, buddy! ANTISEMITISM! ANTISEMITISM! (Uh oh... Don't pay attention to this part!) ANTISEMITI- *Cal turns the music off* Ugh, thank God. Alright, well let's just put on the next one over here. No, no, that's uh... that- that's enough. Oh, alri- a- okay. What score would I have to give it for you to not play another song from it ever again? Y'know, probably like, about a... uh- like a 10? Yeah. Could I meet you part way and give it a 2? *sigh* He's biased. Just biased. 2. Forever.
