Kanye West continues to tarnish legacy with ‘VULTURES 1’

By Malik Clement, Managing Editor • February 13, 2024
In the past few years, the Chicago rapper Kanye West has descended into madness. The once prolific artist — known for his earlier albums, like “Graduation,” “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” and “The Life of Pablo,'' as well as his intricate production work —  released his album “VULTURES 1” on Feb. 9. Amid controversial social media feuds with his divorced wife Kim Kardashian, the death of his mother Donda West, public outbursts and antisemitic remarks, self-proclaimed “Ye” continues to tarnish his legacy with his most recent album.

By Sarah Mooney, Contributing Writer • September 27, 2023
Doja’s past album “Planet Her” went above and beyond. It is unfair to judge because there is no way anything could surpass that album. This high expectation coupled with Doja’s attempt to escape her popstar reputation left many disappointed. Maybe pop is Doja’s forté and she should stick to music that constantly goes viral on TikTok.
