Kanye West has once again failed to release his anticipated album, Vultures 2.
The Chicago rapper was the model of perfectionism in the 2000s, but he’s since become the poster child for failing to meet deadlines.
In recent times, the impression is that West releases a song or an album whenever he feels like it, and if he doesn’t, he doesn’t let the fans know.
He is reported to have originally claimed that Vultures 2 would be released on March 8, but the date came and went with no new music. Radio silence followed, and then he later said it was going to come out on May 3.
As the new release date is now in the past, fans have yet to hear what the sequel to Ye’s last album sounds like.

The hours leading up to the supposed Vultures 2 release were characterized by fans setting themselves up for a letdown.
That being said, the confirmation that Vultures 2 has been delayed is disheartening, as fans flocked to X to make their disappointment known.
“I spend the entire night waiting for Vultures 2 debut only to realize Kanye West was pranking us,” one frustrated user wrote.
Some took the opposite approach and criticized those who thought the rapper would really deliver. “If you believed Kanye West was dropping music tonight,” another tweeted. “Then that’s your fault.”
Kanye West did technically drop new music on the night, but it was on another album. The rapper had the lone feature on the 4batz album U Made Me A St4r.
However, that was not enough to stave off the disappointment of no Vultures 2, but enough to keep fans satiated until he decided to drop. At this rate, we will be lucky to get Vultures 3 by the end of the year.
The disappointment ran deep into the following days as X users resorted to gifs and memes when words failed them.
One of the most popular is an actual clip of West saying “gotcha” during an interview, which about sums up what happened.
