TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- He’s also been teasing a solo album called Bully, which will apparently be fully self-produced.
- I miss when Kanye would bet on his own creativity and vision instead of just outsourcing the work to computers. Seems like that Ye is long gone.
- It’s a bummer to see genuinely creative people tap into lazy and uninspired gimmicks.
- Like a lot of Kanye's visions and dreams, there's a good chance he's already forgotten about this and moved on to the next one.
What’s Yeezy teasing this time? A new post on Kanye’s Instagram account features a trailer for something called Vultures the Movie.
The black-and-white video includes a montage of scenes with words like “Thrilling,” “Chilling,” “Sensoramic” and “Vulgar” with the Blues Brothers theme song playing as a soundtrack. The since-removed footage, which appears to be AI-generated, includes Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign, as well as their Vultures collaborators like Kodak Black, Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, firing guns.
The new video has a strong visual similarity to the recently released clip for "530" off Vultures 2 -- also believed to be the work of generative AI tools.
