Once Upon a Time Kanye West was so determined to succeed in rap and took his music so seriously that he wrapped with a wire holding his Jaws together after a near fatal car crash but today that man who clawed himself up from being discredited as not Hood enough to succeed as an MC and the Kanye we see today would probably have nothing but hatred for one another but none of this happened overnight and while Kanye's issues in recent years such as his comments about slavery threats to kill Pete Davidson and anti-semitic remarks are well documented there's a whole lot more going on that have contributed to where we are now with even his diard fans wondering if he still got it or if he's finally lost his mind and talent altogether While others fear that he's now dealing with an addiction that could do permanent damage to his health it's your boy Lua and this is the unfortunate downfall of Kanye West or is it let's take a look ever since yay first received Fame and Fortune he was as outspoken as they come and after the shocking death of his mother left y's mental health in a state of permanent fragility the controversies just kept coming Taylor Swift slavery is a choice death Con 3 you name it but through all of it fans could always permit themselves to deal with it because the music was so consistently revolutionary I'm not talking about rapping of course Kanye Can't Rap like Drake or Jay-Z as an artist the best hip-hop artist of all time Kanye if not one is number two when it comes to changing The Sound of Music dictating exactly where it was going to go his impact outside of Music bringing music to even different places I don't see anyone like jay- is a great rapper he's a great businessman and he's a great hip-hop artist too but if we're talking about the best personal flaws aside that's the thing when we talk about K A lot of times we're talking about him we just having a conversation about some remarks that he make that are anti-semitic we have to remove all of that and just only think about his his his work I see what you're saying albums you name me somebody who possibly has damn near six um um Classic Albums every time he dropped one of them music pivoted or people around in pivoted we don't even get Drake without Caye you get what I mean whatever you think about yay as a person there's no denying that pedigree of great music that stretched back to The College Dropout through graduation 808 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and all the way through to kid see Ghost with kid cuty even the da album had a lot of highlights and with that kind of catalog fans were happy for him to be an anti-establishment figure rebelling against the world of celebrity and fame that he felt was trying to destroy him my mom ain't here my mama was sacrific me you you understand yeah apprciate Michael Jordan what about him his daddy right Bill Cosby his son right Dr Dre his son you know out in Hollywood a lot of people come up missing feels like it might be a lot of that in order to control traumatize what's crazy is is that he had evidence of plots to control him too in 2023 for example yay revealed text messages from his former personal trainer Harley pck which suggested that he would keep the legendary rapper and producer drugged up if he didn't comply with his wishes first you and I sit down and have a loving and open conversation but you don't use cuss wordss and everything that is discussed is based in fact and not some crazy stuff that dumb friend of yours told you or you saw in a tweet Kanye's former trainer told him second option I have you institutionalized again where they medicate the crap out of you and you go back to Zombie Land forever play dates with the kids just won't be the same but even with that kind of clear evidence of outside interference in his life and attempts to make him a well- behaved famous person some felt that Kanye had gone beyond the point of salvaging after comments like there's a lot of things that I love about Hitler or the whole White lives matter thing started doing the round I think that he he put himself in a bit and I believe this to be true I don't think Kanye believes any of that stuff in my heart I think this is all a game for him yeah it was a game I think he went too far and he knows he's too deep and he bet painted himself in a corner and now he goes well if I go fing Bonkers if I lose my mind and do crazy [ __ ] in front of people people talk about it yeah and then it'll also be a way for me to go I told you guys I was sick which he did he said he was you know he hasing issues so it'll be almost on us formerly a billionaire yay lost Partnerships with Adidas and GAP over his comments and his bank account was taken down to an estimated 100 20 million since then accusations and lawsuits about what it was really like inside Yeezy led to claims that he wanted to install a cage for students in his school and that he threatened to punch staff while also giving preferential treatment to White employees but still yay preserved even when just about everyone in the mainstream had abandoned him in order to be a good firefighter you got to be willing to run into that fire and that's what makes me the number one firefighter that's what makes me Michael because I'll run into that fire for the people in The Burning Village because of everything that had happened since he last dropped a project there was really no way of knowing how his album vultures 1 would be received relieved of any industry support as an independent artist y's back was up against the wall when it came time to drop his first collab project with ta doas sign but still even with all the talk of boycotts and falloffs he still debuted at number one across 168 million streams and 18,000 copies sold yay had every right to feel like he was made of titanium and not because of the $850,000 permanent titanium grills that he had controversially fixed into his mouth and in interviews around that time he talked like it discussing things like how he tried to have a threesome with Nicki Minaj and Amber Rose as well as Throwing Shade at Drake and Universal records Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucien and Universal he's like you know like man my daddy got it you know what I'm saying it's like my daddy control the spins my daddy got the DSP when the Kendrick and Drake beef popped off he even dropped a like that remix but it didn't have the same impact that it might have had a few years ago Kanye sit youring ass down somewhere mind youring business this is not about you this is some attention seeking sh that you doing all ready get him out the booth he had too much to drink too hype he got that lunch boox in his mouth looking like a doof we can't even really hear what he's saying can't articulate no more and now it seems like Joe was really on to something because as the brief hype around vultures 1 fizzled out and the cycle for the sequel began it would become clear that not only could the aftermath of y's a titanium pradon prevent him from articulating his words but maybe his musical ideas and thoughts as well vulture 2's release cycle was anything but straightforward in fact before it dropped Kanye seemed like he was about to throw the towel in altogether and turn his back on the art form that made him a star or at least that was the case according to a text exchange with Rich the kid straight away Rich tried to talk him out of it I am retiring from professional music not sure what else to do retire why how the people need you the music you and Tai and we have made was the biggest stamp in the culture to this dat in 2024 drop yay about mine and vultures 2 and we do it all over again the kids need you big bra maybe some time to chill but retiring ain't it although it's unclear how serious he was it speaks a lot to where his head was at during the recording process for once it sounded like self-doubt was starting to seep in then there was The Gauntlet of release dates originally scheduled to drop in March the date as well as several others came and went fans should have known better but still permitted themselves to get excited Believe It or Not vultures 2 did not drop tonight like Kanye West said it would can you guys believe it no vultures 2 heartbroken y'all really thought yay was dropping vultures 2 now the list of Kane albums that have faded into the hard drives and never seen the light of day would Merit its own video but its lack of release date was only the beginning of the problems when it came to this project in the past fans might have been aggravated waiting for yay to drop but when he finally delivered it was usually worth it sometimes that delay even resulted in Earth shattering projects which changed the course of hip-hop as we know it but that's not really the case this time unless that change in course is the movement that fans finally began to abandon ship or wonder if he had lost the magic that had excused all of his other actions without question vultures 2 is the worst received record of his career even shoddier in construction and execution than its predecessor the second helpings of a memorably distasteful meal and for his longtime critics it marked the moment that they were Vindicated for everything they had said about yay right now whether or not we get vultures 3 may not even be something that is on the minds of uh any one right now even some of Kanye's most hardcore fans what remains of them now anyway because the reception online for vultures to so far has been prettying terrible the creativity is not there his mind is not there the effort is not there the music most importantly is not there and vultures 2 is just proving to be the proof of that staring you blankly in the face with no filter no nothing completely raw dogging it just uninhibited laziness and bad ideas given even Kanye's most hardcore fans are disappointed by it and believe me many of them swallowed vultures 1 happily and that album was total crap in order for them to actually be disgusted and disappointed with the quality of vultures 2 it has to be unquestionably one of the worst things to be released this year it wasn't just the bloggers and content creators either some fans also had some really harsh words for the project one even said it was like it had been made without his sent this album feels like listening to a posthumous release it's like that third or fourth posthumous release where there's barely any material left as well as being panned by critics and fans vultur 2 also broke his long-standing streak of number one albums that spanned back to late registration in 2005 but when you look at what's on offer and the lack of care that went into the final product it's easy to see why it was like okay if ult's 2 never comes out I wouldn't be that hurt and I think that they should have probably kept this album in the tuck reason being you can make Arguments for this record having you know strong Cuts like maybe a 530 maybe if you really want to make an argument for a Sky City River was sought after but the problem with this album and this track list is that it's not finished you're not getting a finished product whatsoever and I feel like that's a big Community sentiment at this point people are asking themselves why even release it if half of these records or mostly half like I would say 90% of this album feels like a demo that's what really sucks is that Kanye West is telling us as fans with this album I just don't give a [ __ ] even the stands are at a loss with the unfinished tracks and generally apathetic nature of the final product these are professional artists and they lost fing lost stems it's clear that yay doesn't even care about his songs anymore then there was the rumored existence of an AI verse which felt like the embodiment of all the claims that yay just didn't care about this project that first verse on Sky City is definitely a sihi verse converted to y's voice with AI his flow and Cadence is all over it it's not like it's all bad some tracks on the album have potential but weren't nurtured to the point of greatness because of that even his collaborators are getting roasted with fans baffled as to how people like Denzel Curry and jpeg mafia's presence in the creative process couldn't save things me and jpeg both worked on vultures 2 how did it come out so ass if both of y'all helped with so so many collaborators and so little that seemed polished vultur 2 marks the messiest and most underwhelming project in his entire discography this seems like a major shift in character for a man who once refused to release physical copies of projects like the life of Pablo just so he could continue to tweak it till he was satisfied with it but as people who were formerly in his inner circle have revealed that's because for all intents and purposes this isn't the same man it's an addict who is losing control of his mental faculties his money and even his life remember how I said earlier that his teeth had played a role in where he's at now well that's because ever since he's gotten his titanium grills it's alleged that he has been addicted to nitrous supplies by none other than his dentist Dr Thomas connley describing himself as the father of diamond Dentistry connley is a tatted up likely roed up man of medicine who lives a lavish lifestyle off the backing of his clients paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for his services but apparently his relationship with yay is way more Sinister as a former staff member of y's claims he's using his role as his nitrous plug to systematically enter West's Inner Circle and leave him financially ruined the one who raised the alarm about this was Milo yannopoulos Kanye's former Chief of Staff the man is no saint himself but that's not what we're here to talk about after he ended his business relationship with Kanye over y's sheld plans to make x-rated films Milo opened up about what he felt was going on with y's operation right down to the sorry state of vultures 2 and from the outset he placed all the blame on the gas and the man supplying it there is a reason yay formerly known as Kanye West is no longer capable of successfully releasing music or clothing in fact there are several reasons but the most serious and the most recent is his dentist Thomas connley connley got yay hooked on nitrous which is laughing ass it is my belief that connley sought to diminish y's mental faculties so that connley and his business associates could extract millions of dollars from him reportedly yay is now so hooked that he is paying $50,000 a month for his services with connley continuing to supply the gas long after the emerence of distressing symptoms that led to widespread comment and concern in a sworn affidavit that he signed against connley Milo said that employees at all levels of y's company were worrying about y's dependence on the gas and speaking openly about it yay himself talked about it non-stop in meetings seemingly in and out of the inhaler mask on a near constant basis he then added that a division head with years of experience working closely with yay confided to me that it was like speaking to an entirely different person while another junior staff member at Yeezy reported seeing Conley hauling four large surgical tanks of nitrous oxide into Bianca sensory's apartment straight away Conley's team issued a denial stating that Milo's story was not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading he also shared his own text messages where he told Milo that the tanks are empty and have been empty very little nitrous has been administered to yay but trying to drop receipts might not have been the smartest idea from Conley alongside Milo sharing text to other employees of yay where he revealed that connley had just moved into his apartment block at y's expense so he could better tend to the patient the former Chief of Staff also shared Communications between Conley and yay where he directly asks for tanks to be dropped off to him by his dentist this needs to be a long-term goal get recreational nitrous legalized meanwhile we mastered the delivery system with a 2-year Head Start can I have the nitrous today Tom you said you'd bring them by today checking in are you at the Chateau yes can do as if this wasn't enough evidence there was also photos and videos clearly showing yay hooked up to the tank Ryan Garcia this yay I'm on a nitrous now it's not just Milo who is outraged but fans who are concerned for his health as well the saddest part is that it causes permanent brain damage I fear his best days are behind him and that is so sad I'm not a fan of what yay has been putting out as of lately but it all makes a lot more sense now if these allegations are true although y's team has yet to confirm or deny what's going down it's easy for people to believe when you look at previous situations he had dealt with and how much he's leaned on things to try and Escape what he's facing in life so you don't think when Kanye posted that screenshot of his trainer saying he's going to put him back on those drugs and all those threats and then you look into who that trainer is maybe there's some validity to the people that are around yay and trying to attack Kanye I think Kanye's a lot of [ __ ] things and a lot of [ __ ] crazy and I mean that respectfully but a lot of crazy I don't think he's a [ __ ] liar I really don't judging by what Kanye has told us about his mental health yes I can see addiction being a very easy thing for his brain to adapt to he's been addicted to porn he's been he he has aulive [ __ ] brain so you don't think somebody could easily get him addicted to any type of drug trainer do it we saw like now the dentist is where we draw in the line now after years of high pressure and scrutiny from the public it looks like Yay is trying to escape his reality and it's not the first time if you're under the impression that yay is a newcomer to laughing ass you're mistaken in fact y's love of nitrous began way back in the days of the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions and he detailed it in an interview with Us magazine one time I was at the dentist's office and I was given nitrous gas and I was vibing out west said I guess that's my version of Steve Jobs and his LSD trip when I had this first thought what is the meaning of life and then I thought to give what's the key to happiness happiness what do you want in life when you give someone something should they give you something in return I came out of the gas and had a completely new attitude on everything it's fine to not get credit for everything it's almost better for the amount of things that I really want to do it can only work if I'm credited for about 20% of them because if I'm really credited for the amount of things that I'm going to do and what I want to do it's just too much the reward is in the dead itself the times that I've looked like a crazy person when I was was screaming at an interviewer or Screaming from the stage all I was screaming was help me to help more I've given all I've got I've gone into [ __ ] debt it's all I've got to give but if I had a little bit more opportunity I could give so much more that's what I was screaming for help me to help more clearly yay always felt there was something he could gain from nitrous but it's interesting when you think about the timelines of his use the first time was back when he was despised by the world for upstaging Taylor Swift he even had the president of the United States Barack Obama calling him an [ __ ] at that point in his career it was the most intense public outrage he had ever dealt with and it took him being numbed to feel better about it so now that he's been faced with losing everything from his family to his net worth it's no surprise that an enabler like Conley could easily get their hooks in him after all this is not the first time that he's ended up in a vulnerable state because of drug use what we're seeing now is similar to where he was with opioids just before the mag era and when yay woke up out of that drug induced Haze he got himself back on track cuz I was drugged the out bro I was drugged out I was on opioids 2 days after I got off of opioids and I was addicted to opioids I'm in the hospital right I'm taking two hey everyone listen to this please two days before I was in the hospital I was on opioids I was addicted to opioids I had plastic surgery because I was trying to look good for y'all I got lipos suction because I didn't want y'all to call me fat like y'all call Rob at the wedding and made him fly home before me and Kim got married I didn't want y'all to call me fat so I got lipos suction and they gave me opioids and I started taking two of them and then driving to work on the opioids right then my boy and there was talks amongst my camp like Yay popping yay popping pills right so when he headed to me this to me he said you know this is used to kill genius right so I didn't take it 2 days later I'm in a hospital I was taking two pills a day at that time when I left the hospital how many pills you think I was given seven I went from taking two pills to taking seven so the reason why I denounced why I dropped those tweets and everything cuz I was drugged the out bro the only hope is that it's not too late for yay to get his life back under control kick the nitrous and begin taking charge of his life and career again because as it stands things don't look too good but even if he can achieve that he might still have a mountain to climb to get back to the levels of adoration he got from his fans because at the moment a lot of them are trying to come to terms with his fall off this is how it feels to accept that vultures 2 is a fundamentally Bad album and no amount of mixing fixes will make it good I'm a fan because he used to be a perfectionist who worked with only the best people who also wanted the records to be perfect now he just releases trash and losers out here are acting like it's even passable and beyond that they're also accepting that yay finally releasing subpar music removed the protective barrier that used to always Shield his fans from leaving him behind when he acted out at the moment yay is facing one of the biggest Crossroads of his life and those who refuse to turn their back on him are clearly worried actually even some of his harshest critics are concerned about him unfortunately I do and not just Kanye I do believe that I don't like the source but I believe that at a certain level there's a hand by you or eyes on you and if you start getting crazy listen your your primary physician could be the op your dentist could be the op your mechanic could be the op like I'm psycho enough to believe some of that I'm not saying that exists with him but beneficial if we keep [ __ ] up we got to keep you in line and I certainly got a email from somebody formerly in his Camp yesterday wanting to do like a little tell all but I dubbed it speaking of Kanye that's too messy for whatever you think about some of the things he's had to say anyone who's followed rap music or culture in general knows what a big impact he's made to it so it'd be a damn shame for him to go out like that I really hope con gets the help he needs as a fan he's contributed so much to the hip-hop space and even if his career is at the point where some feel that it's unsalvageable Kane has proven that he can turn tragedy to Triumph time and time again so while things need to change only a fool would truly count him out until his very last breath let's just hope that doesn't come anytime soon my name is l and I want to thank you guys for watching today's video I'll catch you guys on the next one
