It is time for me to give my review of Kanye West and Todd Dalla Sons album, Votter's One. Now, of course, before I get my review, I have to say, or I have to start with the facts, which is sales. Now, Vultures One debuted with 148,000 equivalent album units moved in the first week of release. So, to put that in perspective, Kanye West is a major label artist. before this Votris 1 release and this man was doing half of 230 300 and now he's independent and still keeps basically I will say about 50% of his streams now a lot of other artists have way more fabricated numbers but the core fan base is why people keep coming back because nobody's going to give you in advance they don't think they could recoup on Warner Sony Universal Music Group is not going to give you in advance that they think they couldn't make back years to come or years down the line. So with Kanye was being independent, still putting up major label type numbers, literally having Carnival rise to the number one spot. Actually, it peaked at number three, I believe.

But currently, it is still number three. So basically it's just up there in the top three. doesn't seem like it's coming down anytime soon but they do they did say in streaming it was number one so on global Spotify with 5.883 million streams it was number one the difference between streaming and the chart that I'm looking at which is actual album sales is I remember academics was talking about this not too long ago basically he said that if you're a free member it usually like if 4,000 free members on whatever DSP Spotify Apple Amazon music, whatever. If they, if 4,000 people streamed your track, that would be equivalent to one album sale. But if a subscribed premium member streamed their album 3,000 times, that would count as one album cell. So that means he was kind of gauging it in the middle. Roughly, 3,500 streams take is equivalent to one album cell.

So Kanye West can be the top. top which is statistically a fact carnivore is the top streaming track when it comes to well streams but as far as albums equivalent units moved by this single it's number three and peaked at number three hopefully that makes sense so the tracks above it just had more people go out and purchase the track which is funny because before it no during you can go back to all my coverage of this album i kept repeating by connie west's for whichers one because he's going to change the mix or something's going to get taken off because of uh clearances or whatever he was having sample clearance issues so stuff was getting taken down put back up which i just

think is the major labels mad that an independent artist was putting up high numbers like this because it just reinvigorates the fact that a lot of people believe drake should go independent to really put it to the music industry and show you don't need them but in all actuality as you see with the huge decline in sales even though it's super 1% what conya was having 148 000 sales first week he could have had 300 to 350 first week with a major label so just putting that perspective but getting back into the album right because this is just a review i just had to give you a little bit of uh sales uh news to let you know how well this is performing even though he's independent no help from major distributors so when that

distributors major promoters which is the label so this man has seven tracks currently in the top 100 and this is not the streaming charts this is like the actual units so so Carnival is it peaked at number three and is currently at number three um f something with which which you know pg podcast so you know you fill in the blanks is currently at 23 so i'm giving you his top basically this is his top tracks performing on this album f sum is number two at 23 uh see oh no no i'm tripping burn was number two at yeah burn is number two i cannot read what is this peak All it's showing me is peak position. Okay, I'm tripping. Okay. All right. I'm not floyd maybe with that. I promise.

Anyways, burn is the number two track currently at 53, but it peaked at 33. And then at number three, F something is at 57, but it peaked at 23. So number four, we have Back to Me, which is at 59, and this is the top 100 charts as far as units. and that track peaked at number 26. Number five, we have the track Vultures, which is at 85 currently on the charts, which peaked at 34. Number six, we have Do It, which is personally one of my favorite tracks off the album.

I think that's just such an energetic type of track that really gets you going at the gym. You know, when Kanye was like, whatever, the sample he used was like, I don't know, but it's provocative. It gets the people going. that's how I feel about do it like that track is fired but um so that's the six uh highest performing track off of the album and that's it currently at number four which peaked at number 52

on the charts and then for the last but definitely not least seven uh the seventh best performing track off of the album is talking which is currently 96 but peaked at number 30 on the um on the charts and obviously you can look this up yourself on a billboard so you know I'm not just making this up. So anyways, what else? Yeah, that's basically, I don't want to spend too much time just talking about numbers. So let's get into my personal opinion

and how I feel about the album. Going into my roller decks, my discography of music that has just went in and out of my brain. Pause. Is that pause? I don't even know. But anyways, the music I've been listening to, I would say by, not by far, that's a little, no, I mean, I don't even care.

By far, this is the best album I've heard this year. I mean, obviously, it's three years into the, three months into the year. So it's nothing, it's not too crazy of a statement. But 21 Savage did drop, and I'm sorry, but on no planet, no galaxy, no solar system, is 21 Savage ever making a better project than Kanye was. So, yeah, that's just not it. but um not saying it's bad it's just like as far as comparing it to i was like yeah it's just not comparable like conya west album vultures it's probably my favorite hip-hop album of 2024 so

what else somebody else dropped oh french drop i really really enjoyed french montana's album i think that was called coke boys what was this called oh not coke boys it was a man what i think it was Coke voice what it was called mac and cheese five anyways that was probably one of my favorite albums this year obviously we're only three months in but I'm just giving you my list so and also if you click my link sure in my bio go towards the bottom I have a tab that says like what I'm listening to and you can see this for yourself like I have a whole I have all type of playlist I wonder if I could bring it up I have all type of playlist that um you know just showcase one I'm actually listening to like this is the actual account I use

when it comes to putting out music or not putting out music but putting out what I like Oh yeah here we go right here See Y'all Oh man

Hold on I can't show this because It has my other stuff on the side Which that's for the podcast But um Let me see if I can just screenshot it Hold up in a second All right Yeah okay cool

I think that works Yeah I do have stuff for the pod i can't really show but i mean if you go to the the tab in my link tree then you can see my public playlist if that makes sense anyways uh i screenshot it so here we go right here so as you can see like i see i wasn't joking do it is literally in my top track uh for the month of of february so what else but yeah as you can see i've been listening to french montana like this is actually my my account that i used to listen to music so if you go to my link tree all the way down to like what i listen to i'm gonna have playlist like fresh fire

as you see right here my top 10 tracks of last year top five albums of last year top five albums of 2020 basically a whole just it's literally like a um archive of of music that i've enjoyed for the past years like i actually keep list of music i like which you know it just makes it easier for me to go back and see what I like from whatever or whichever year so anyways so as you can see I've been listening to Kanye West and of course Drake like the only track that Drake is even a part of and it's in my top five I swear that's crazy but anyways um let's get to my personal opinion of the album now of course like always I usually get I usually go track by track but as far as this album I'm not going to lie to you I have three particular tracks that I just think is heads and shoulders

above the rest. And for that, I'm just, I would go track by track, but to compare it to a body of work, how do I put this? It doesn't seem like a concept album. It seems like an album meant for performance. Like, it's not something where the first track,

second track, and third track all flow into each other, like subject-wise. It's more of a, sonically good album meant to be played at a party or or in event if that makes sense it's not one of those where he's trying to lead you on a journey and then at the end you're just going to find the meaning of life you know like the kendrick lamar dam album the way you could play it back you could play it backwards and it still has a message it's not one of them it's just like a sonically great album now will it be my favorite of the year way too

soon to tell because it's only three months in but i would say do it is one of my favorites off of the album so if i had to give a top three i would probably say do it burn and i probably say king i don't know why but king just seems like the ultimate villain anthem like king is a track where if you was the joker he was Lex Luther Green Goblin I think I would just listen to this on repeat Like I'm not going to lie to you Like if you want to just take over the world

And be straight up labeled a super villain This is the anthem Because this man Kanye West said Crazy bipolar Anti-Semite Do you know what anti-Semite means? Hold up Because this man was wilding on this album

So it's not like one of those where you could play around your parents And they won't be like Some would you or a daughter what you're listening to like it's not one of them albums where you can just get away with playing this with your parents it's not one of them type things um this man called himself a racist literally uh anti semi is a person who harbors hostility towards prejudices against or discrimination against jews very you know very serious left term but i would be very uh ignorant not to bring that up as and i wouldn't even feel like i'm doing my job if i didn't bring up the fact that kanya west calls himself anti-semit or it says it's in a quotation mark so i don't know if he's trying to trying to say what other people are trying to say to him okay this is a genius annotation so it's not like because you know genius doesn't always have a hundred percent

correct when it comes to what the words mean but the way he says it is like i am those things but i'm still the king because he literally says still the king So it could be taken two different ways, which one is a little bit more egregious than the other, obviously. He could be calling himself crazy bipolar anti-Semite, which the last one is crazy. That's like, whoa, that's like a white person coming out and saying like, yeah, I'm a racist and I hate the ERs. You know what I'm saying. Like, it's one of them type things. Like, what, what he just, what he just say?

So hopefully it's the first, whereas he's just saying what people are labeling him. but then he's still the king so even though people put these labels on them i'm still the king let's just go with that but still this is still a this is a villain anthem which is why it's just one of my favorites because i love how he's just embracing the hate you know he's embracing the hate he's embodied it and it came into a track which granted it is short but it's one of my favorites just because of the the overall theme and the sonics that he goes into i like when they change the vocal inflection Like he gets into, let's see. So he gets into like, yeah, I'm still the king chorus.

And then he changes up to vocal inflection where he gets into this is what I've been waiting for. And then it basically goes into the change of inflection. And they get into that flow. And my favorite part is when Todd Dollar sign came in and he basically said, yeah, okay. so when it starts with a papar rasi loves me they show up to everything that's when that vocal inflection starts to change and then uh todd dallas sign it's like i can pay you double let me put you on the team which is you know it's crazy talk with they're talking on this album i ain't going to lie to you and sonically it's very pleasing but uh which one oh this this is the one

that caught me off growing and todd dallas son says she just won an expedite of at the bouttega store i don't know why but the delivery on that it's top ten like this There's a reason, not top 10, it's top tier. It's a reason why Tadalasan is being accompanied throughout this entire project. And I just think he's one of the more talented humans when it comes to making music. I mean, some of the greatest tracks from Drake has Tadalda San on it. But, and Party Next Door. So, I don't know, it's a close race between Party Next Door and Tadaldaa sign.

If you really think about it, like all the hits that Party has wrote R&B wise, not rap. let's not get crazy but r mb wise all the hits that party next door has written for drake i think it's uh it's a conversation to who is the better artist but let's just say whenever drake is on a track rmb wise would party next door a t tally d'allelan straight heat kaney west probably noticed that and he was like hey i need all that sauce on my album which is why this collaborative effort is even exist in my opinion so anyways that's enough of king um getting into to burn it's going to be probably my most controversial take but this reminds me of a track straight off of the graduation trilogy and before people killed me sonically and when i say sonically

hold up i don't think people know why i mean by that because you know they can say quality wise or whatever but basically i'm just talking about how it sounds like sonically it's just basically the definition of it is it refers to the way that something refers to something in a way that relates to sound so that's it that's not nothing more intricate you know nothing to advance for you is just sound that's it so when I say sonically if you go to a graduation track and it come back to burn is very very similar in the way that Kanye's rapping I don't know if you found the stems for how he had the settings for how he had the vocal set but it's a very similar sound when it comes to uh this track burn which is why it's

one of my favorites because i was like oh he really is rapping like he's uh back on graduation and and that's probably the greatest trilogy run in hip-hop history i ain't gonna lie to you so anyways um and then my favorite track well i would say favorite but that's too i feel like that's too specific of a title because i really do like this album like there's a lot of other tracks on here that i like i like quavo's verse um i like the way he came on the album obviously everybody's just going crazy for free to you know freddie gills verse which you know technically he was he was rapping rapping but it just didn't do it for me like i'm like okay hamburgers chili mac oh that's no i just play i'll just joke it now freddie gives definitely had the best verse on the

album y'all thought i was trying to hate on that now that was definitely the best uh verse on the out by far so um what else what i saying so yeah burn feels like it was ripped straight from graduation i do it is definitely my favorite track so i would i would just say it's my favorite i just like the way it starts off and i like the vibe and um i just Todd d'alison just so talented vocally it's just like he really carries it to a point where um the inflections that he uses keeps the entire body of work sounding fresh like Kanye west The delivery was very subpar when it comes to his previous music. But as far as the lyrics, what he was saying, I think it was pretty on point.

So next time, I would say his delivery needs a lot of improvement. But as far as the lyrics, the unique, there's not something you heard before. You know, he's not saying something that, oh, everybody's talking about. He's talking about unique things that only Kanye West's life could be attributed to. And I like that. But the delivery is probably the thing that. people has the most problem with because rapping isn't all about just rhyming words is the inflection is the way you deliver it it's the way you want people to feel as you say it like

you could scream something you could whisper something you could change your voice in a silly way like kendrick does sometimes it's just a lot of stuff anyways um yeah Kanye west really stayed in a realm where the inflection really didn't change in the delivery of the words was not it was very very subpart. That's probably the worst part about the album. It's the delivery of some of the lines in this album. That's why my favorites were my favorites because the way he switched up his inflection,

like on Byrne, was it king? No, no, king, yeah. The papar Rossi loved me. They show up to everything. That whole verse, straightfire. If he would have delivered stuff like that more often, I think the album would be by far in a way my favorite. but you know it's way too soon to tell so currently it's definitely one of my favorites but ultimately

i don't know if you'll end up in my top five but hey we'll just have to see how uh 2024 ends up going so with that being said click my link tree in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about my kanya west vultures one album review and also personally what was your favorite track off of the album
