Kanye's Vultures album is set to do about 140K SPS in its first week.
Those are good numbers for most but not so good for Ye.
The album is also in jeopardy of being de-platformed after the company distributing the project to DSPs claimed they were tricked into doing so after telling Kanye they wouldn't work with him.
On top of all that, the critics have been harsh.
According to aggregator Metacritic, it's one of the worst-reviewed rap albums in recent memory.
'Vultures' debuts with a score of 47 on Metacritic, making it Kanye's lowest-reviewed album EVER 💿

This also makes it the 2nd LOWEST rated rap album of the entire decade so far. Is this fair? pic.twitter.com/1cMHVCUX6w
And those numbers don't include Fantano, who called the album "unreviewable trash."
