Kanye West has once again pushed back &#039;Vultures&#039; yet amid this delay here is a look at his upcoming collaboration&#039;s comparisons with &#039;Donda&#039;

Amid ‘Vultures’ Delay, Here Are 2 Differences and 2 Similarities It Draws to Kanye West’s ‘Donda’ Era

Kanye West [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kanye-west] became a name and a
sensation following his debut into the world of rap after freestyling in the
early 2000s. Success came calling for him after his first debut album ‘Kon The
Louis Vuitton Don’ in 2004 and his first Grammy in 2005. Ever since the rapper
went on to release a bevy of albums, with his last coming as an exclusive
release of ‘Donda 2’. However, in the actual scenario, 2021’s ‘Donda’ served as
his last major worldwide release on all streaming platforms, with ‘Vultures’ now
on the line to take flight as the eleventh.

Yet, a major case of delays and no-shows have added to fans’ frustration as the
collaboration has kept shooting past rumored dates. Amid such a case, here come
two similarities and two differences, respectively, in Ye’s 10th and 11th studio
albums.


DONDA’S SPECTACLE STEALS THE SHOW FROM VULTURES RAVES

Months of anticipation, rumors, and fan pleads later, Kanye West finally
previewed his Ty Dolla $ign collaboration on 12th December at a Miami rave
party. However, the rapper’s re-branding of his listening parties
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-amid-vultures-release-cancellation-why-is-kanye-west-rebranding-his-listening-parties-as-raves/]
has come at loggerheads with the massive spectacle ‘Donda’ had brought about. On
July 22, 2021, the first-ever listening party for the latter took place amid
much fanfare. Taking Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium by storm, Ye managed to
fill its 20,000-odd seats with an announcement that came hardly moments before
the event’s start.



Acoustic sound designs, changing costumes, dancers, and light shows highlighted
the event. A total of three such public listening parties took place, with two
in Atlanta and one in Chicago. A set piece featuring his childhood home in
Chicago, his ex-wife Kim Kardashian
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/kim-kardashian/] walking down in a wedding
gown, and Ye himself wearing puffer jackets outside of his trademark monochrome
palette highlighted the events. In sharp contrast, the only ‘Vultures’ rave
remained marred by glitches, the firing of a DJ on-site, and no-shows.

DONDA HAD KANYE WEST AS ITS THEME

Named after the rapper’s late mother, ‘Donda’ as well as its stem
player-exclusive ‘Donda 2’, paid tribute to Kanye West’s late mother, Donda.
However, at their core, the albums stood incredibly centered on the ‘Flashing
Lights’ singer. The themes covered Ye’s journey of getting over the grief of his
mother’s demise back in 2007. Additionally, it also explored the unfortunate
event’s impact on his mental health, self-reflection, and vulnerability. Tracks
such as ‘Believe What I Say’ and ‘Junya Pt. 2’ highlighted a remarkable
self-awareness from West.



Finally, samples from ‘Hurricane’ and ‘Off the Grid’ narrated his familial
hardships, including the aftermath of his failed marriage with Kardashian.
Regardless, ‘No Child Left Behind’ came as ample evidence of his hope and faith
in eventual redemption. Meanwhile, ‘Vultures’ appears to be a take on the
alleged predatory nature of the music industry and would majorly focus on
factors outside the rapper’s personal life except maybe references to him losing
a ton of his earnings and starting from the ground up.

In terms of similarities, here are two poignant ways in which ‘Donda’ and
‘Vultures’ share their bonds.


KANYE WEST STICKS TO HIS RITUAL OF DELAYS

‘Vultures’ rave kicked in adrenaline hype among fans as soon after a possible
release date appeared online
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-kanye-west-to-drop-vultures-finally-on-this-date-after-miami-rave/].
Furthermore, Apple Music listings had the collaboration album available for
pre-save only for it to disappear completely off its shelves. Ye’s team pushed
the release from 15th December 2023 to undefined infinity. Moreover, the
possibility of a Christmas, New Year’s Eve, as well as a 1st January drop also
shot by. Finally, the latest rounds of rumors have put the album’s availability
to the public for February 9, 2024.



Interestingly, in terms of release, ‘Donda’ followed a similar suit. Announced
in July 2020 along with track lists, the album went into radio silence for one
whole year. After previewing ‘No Child Left Behind’ during the NBA Finals, Ye
confirmed the album for a July 23 drop. After listening parties, the release
shifted to August 15. At this point, and with over a year of release, fans
pleaded for a release, and soon after, Kanye West finally released ‘Donda’ on 29
August 2021.


A GRAND SHOW OF COLLABORATION

Kanye West debuted the ‘Donda’ deluxe edition containing 32 songs and
collaborated with a host of artists from across the hip-hop realm. The biggest
headline came with Ye working alongside Jay-Z for verses on ‘Jail’. Thereafter,
The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, and Kid Cudi came across as
notable mentions. However, the list did not stop as more stars got studded soon.
Lil Yachty, Don Toliver, Roddy Rich, Young Thug, Baby Keem, and the late Pop
Smoke lent their voices.



In many ways, ‘Donda’ surpassed collaboration expectations of even The Sunday
Chorus choir giving an ephemeral vibe. Likewise, ‘Vultures’, a prime product of
the ‘Y$’ collaboration, also carries a ton of tie-ins. Lil Durk, Bump J, and of
course, Ty Dolla $ign have already made their contributions public at the Miami
rave. However, surprises came ringing in with Kanye West’s daughter, North West
also making her way into the album and a possible list of even more additions
coming soon.

As of now, Ye remains likely firm to roll out ‘Vultures’ on February 9, 2024.
Yet, there always lies a possibility of a delay. Regardless, what are your
thoughts on this comparison and the likening of Kanye West’s ‘Donda’ with
‘Vultures’? Let us know in the comments below.
