Starting point is 00:00:00 So according to Forbes, Kanye West's and Todd Dollar Signs album, titled Votures, currently has no release date. Now, for all my Kanye fans out there, I just need you to take a moment of silence because you obviously have been through this so many times that it's basically routine at this point. Like, you are okay and have pleased your mind
Starting point is 00:00:28 in the fact that you're going to, get continuously lied to by Kanye West. You know why? Because when Kanye West puts out music, you're going to come right back like he never lied to you 15 million times in the past. So with this whole announcement and rollout of Vultures being the way it is, then postponing it every 24-7, just postponing it 24-7, whenever he can't go on and do some type of showcase at some type of arena, he goes into a hotel room and goes on a rant and lets
Starting point is 00:01:00 everybody record him or he just puts out a new clothing article to even to distract you from the fact that he's been or been supposed to put out an album in the first place. So for all my Kanye fans out there, just know, I don't feel sorry for you because you're a fan of one of the greatest musicians ever, but also you get routinely lots to and whenever he puts out music, you jump right back on the musical creation, of course. So anyways, uh, get. Getting into this particular segment, the reason I'm even covering this album is because we actually heard new music. That's one thing about Kanye was he will let you hear a whole body of work before he even releases
Starting point is 00:01:42 it. He has this unique rollout to where he'll let you listen to something and then by the time of his DSPs, it's about four, five, six, seven versions you had heard of it. But the one that you heard on DSP is one that you did not want in the first place. not in like a bad way. Of course, whatever Kanye West puts out is not everything, but his batting average is like 99.999%. That's almost everything, so I should have probably just said everything.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Kanye is a genius when it comes to making music. I don't think I have to say that for anybody. But if we're sticking with the facts, Votures was originally scheduled to come out December 15th, and now it's been delayed. What are they saying? The NBA? it's been indefinitely delayed.
Starting point is 00:02:31 So people are attributing this to sample clearance issues, particularly the Everybody Track, is that what it's called? I think so, the Everybody Track, and then the track where Nicky Minaj won't clear her own vocals, titled New Body. Now, I love how Kanye West saw Nikki Minaj putting out her best body of work and tried to jump on that marketing campaign and promotion machine by saying, oh,
Starting point is 00:03:01 Nicky Minaj is the reason Newbody wasn't coming out or the reason that Newbody wasn't going to be, was going to hold the album back. Kanye West was making it seem like it was such a big deal. Like he couldn't leave off New Body just like he left off New Body on Donda
Starting point is 00:03:16 when Nicky Minaj wasn't as hot and wasn't as captivating to the masses. Of course, the Barb's always messed with her, but of course the Pink Friday was her best work ever, in my opinion, and I think the marketing trail for that leading up to the album and post-release, I think it's going to go well into 2024.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Pink Friday 2 is going to take over in a way that everybody wants a piece of when it comes to litmus and clout, quote-unquote. So anyways, Kanye West tried that whole PR tactic by saying that New Body was the reason the album wasn't going to come out. But in all, actuality
Starting point is 00:03:55 Kanye West is just trying to put out an album with certain features, oh no, certain samples and disregard the samples, right? The biggest thing, which I kind of touched on the last time I talked about this album, Kanye West talked about the Jewish community. They're not going to let him have
Starting point is 00:04:12 comfortability. Comfortable? I don't know what. I was, hey, I'm not cutting that out. Y'all just got to laugh at me. So, comfortability, I think this is set with uh did i just make up that word i don't know why i'm just stuck on that is that an actual word comfortability i don't think so that wasn't going to let Kanye be comfortable with his rollout why because he disrespected the jewish community and now he's asking certain people who
Starting point is 00:04:41 are head of labels who are jewish to promote fun his marketing campaign and his album release If you don't know, biggest musicians in the world still need a machine. Even though Kanye is one of the biggest geniuses that's ever graced the music or that's ever entered the music industry, you still need a machine to promote your music and your creations to the masses. There's no iconic superstar without the machine. Now, obviously, the reason why they are a superstar because they have the core fan base that's obviously way more supportive than anybody else, which makes them a superstar. But as far as visibility, the core fan base may put them on a six or seven, but the machine will take them to an 8, 9, 10. Hopefully that makes sense. So anyways, Vultures is not coming out anytime soon.
Starting point is 00:05:31 This new track titled Unlock just was previewed on DJ Ferris. DJ Ferris Power 92 Radio. So do what you want with that information. I don't think anybody cares at this point until the hour. actually releases unless Kanye is going to go on another rant to promote this album. Because also note, Kanye goes on a rants. Mysteriously, Kanye always has something to say when it's time to promote something. And people call him crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Anyways, click my link to your bio. Let me know in one of my social medias. What do you think about Kanye West and Todd Dalla Sign's latest preview of the album with the track titled Unlock? And do you think the track is fire or trash?
