Kanye west has placed his single, “Vultures,” on all the streaming channels — and they approve of it, apparently.
The main offending couplet in “Vultures” reads: “How’m I antisemitic? I Just fucked a Jewish bitch/I just fucked Scooter’s bitch and we ran her like the Olympics”
Scooter is Scooter Braun, who briefly managed West, and is Jewish.
This is hateful and disgusting, but the streaming services are showing no editorial judgement — or integrity. You can download the single on iTunes, and play it everywhere else.
On YouTube there have already been more than 3 million views. On Spotify, “Vultures” has 35 million streams.
This means all those people are singing along to those lyrics. Imagine if the song referenced any other ethnic group, it would have been banned already. But these companies don’t care about bigotry or hate. They just care that Kanye has a hit.
West dropped another single, also. It’s called “Carnival” and the lyrics are too disgusting to reprint here.
All the lyrics can be found on Genius.com, which reprints all this garbage without question. It’s owned by a guy named Tom Lehman, from Brooklyn.
The most offending rap starts at the 2 minute mark.
