Kanye West’s new song goes back to his anti-Semitic rants

A new Kanye West song has surfaced, in which the troubled rapper recalls his anti-Semitic tirade from the previous year.

On Friday night, radio station WPWX Power 92 Chicago premiered the new song, “Vultures,” featuring West, Lil Durk, Ty Dolla Sign and Bump J. Midway through the song, over haunting production, West raps: “How am I anti-Semitic? “

The song was not on streaming services or online stores as of Saturday afternoon and there was no word on an official release date.

West and Ty Dolla Sign have recently been teasing the arrival of a new joint album, which the two have been shopping for distributors last month, according to Billboard. On October 23, Ty Dolla Sign announced that he and West would host a “multi-stadium listening event” for new music on November 3, although the date came and went without any activity.

“Vultures” marks West’s first musical release in over a year; He recently appeared alongside Durk on Cardi B’s song “Hot S—.”

Towards the end of 2022, West launched an antagonistic media blitz, during which reclaimed saw “good things about Hitler” and also accused George Floyd’s family of being “penny pincher”after Floyd was killed by then-police officer Derek Chauvin in 2020.

West’s business partners, including Adidas, Balenciaga, Gap and Def Jam, cut ties following his anti-Semitic rants. After vowing on Twitter to perform a “death with 3” against the Jewish people and then tweeting a swastika, he was suspended from the platform, now called X, for several months, although Elon Musk reinstated his account in July.

“Kanye is as big an influencer as there is in the culture,” said Omar Wasow, an assistant professor of political science at UC Berkeley who studies race and politics. said The Times last year. “Being now integrated into this corrupt gallery of white supremacists and Christian nationalists and insurrectionists legitimizes these hateful movements.”
