Kanye West's latest album, 'Vultures 1', faced significant challenges shortly after its release. The album was removed from Apple Music and other digital platforms following allegations of distribution violations and the use of unauthorized samples, including a complaint from the Donna Summer Estate over copyright infringement and an uncleared Black Sabbath song. Despite the hurdles, including a distributor rejecting the release and West's subsequent unauthorized upload, the album's rollout has been tumultuous. Critics have mixed opinions on the work, with some highlighting the production quality and others criticizing West's recent music as lacking cohesion and innovation. Fans and critics alike have noted that 'Vultures is one of Ye's best albums', despite some calling West a 'freaky frog' and questioning the album's alignment with Christian values.

Kanye West’s music has lacked cohesion for over a decade. Most of his work since Yeezus (2013) has been disjointed, unfinished, megalomaniacal drivel with zero newness or “Apple-level” innovation (his words, not mine) . He sells sneakers and puffer jackets and socks. The end. https://t.co/gEIUkgxbI4
