After months of anticipation and a December 2023 rave party, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign dropped ‘Vultures 1’. The drop of 15 songs and a runtime of 50 minutes soon received an update with an additional song and 5 extra minutes appended to it. Thereafter, despite an initial delay in a Spotify release, the songs started to trend on the charts, and in a short span of time, the rapper started trending on global charts, even dethroning Taylor Swift, although briefly.

Yet, a new move associated with it might come as a headache for fans, especially those who had already started listing their favorites.

The overwhelming reception to ‘Vultures 1’ from the Kanye West fandom helped him gain enough recognition to begin charting a comeback. Riding the tide in his favor, the rapper began actively promoting the album. However, a few minutes before, in a disappointing update, one of the more streamed tracks from the list – ‘Good’, appeared to go missing from Spotify. While for some the song appeared grayed out, it completely vanished from the album for many others.

As for West and Ty Dolla $ign, none have explained the same. However, as per fan discussions, the reason appears to be a mixing issue. The song may have received a take-down to re-upload another variant of it, with perhaps a few adjustments. Moreover, the ‘Donda’ singer has followed this pattern for quite some time now, with his last album releases also facing such an abrupt track rescheduling. Yet, as of now, neither has an official update come forth nor has the track gone live again.

A short while after ‘Vultures 1’ landed, fans dissected each track and, arguably, ‘Carnival’ came forth as the most popular Kanye West sample of them all. Regardless of individual tastes, the high-energy beat received the most streams in a day, and hence the rapper likely prioritized filming its music video at the earliest. Confirming earlier rumors of him and Bianca Censori heading to Italy for a video shoot, Ye dropped a snippet of the same.

Featuring the Curva Nord group of fans of the soccer club, Inter Milan, the snippet highlighted the tone and narrative of the upcoming video. With Kanye West at the center, the group began its chant of the opening verses of ‘Carnival’ while dressed in masks and banners, underlining an underground vibe.
