Kanye West is gearing up for the release of a joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, and he recently offered fans a sneak peek by teasing a sample from the Backstreet Boys’ hit track “Everybody.” The Chicago rap star shared a clip in which he is seen on a balcony with the iconic snippet playing in the background.
Ty Dolla $ign had previously unveiled the tracklist for the highly anticipated album, featuring 17 songs, including the Backstreet Boys’ sampled track “Everybody.” Adding to the excitement, renowned music producer Timbaland confirmed his involvement in the album, reposting the tracklist on his account and expressing, “One of my best bodies of work.”
However, the album didn’t escape controversy with the release of its first track, “Vultures.” In this song, Kanye West delivered bars that included the line, “How I’m antisemitic, I just —— a Jewish —–.” The lyrics stirred criticism from several Jewish organizations, branding the track as “unforgivable” and “disgusting.”
As fans eagerly await the full release of the collaborative album, Kanye West’s creative choices and the sampled elements from iconic tracks add an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming musical project.
