Since Ye first announced his next project, BULLY, he’s been dropping constant hints about what’s to come. From studio footage to sharing “Beauty and the Beast” at listening parties, it’s clear this could be one of Ye’s biggest eras yet.
He’s also collaborating with other rappers, stepping into his producer bag for Carti’s I AM MUSIC. But that’s not all—he’s reportedly cooking up even more heat, this time with the help of Future and his daughter, North West.
Ye previews remixes of two Future songs
Previous Bully snippets suggest Ye was inspired by his old work, such as The Life of Pablo and maybe even My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. While at 1OAK in Tokyo, though, Ye previewed new music that has him digging into a completely different vibe, pulling straight from Future’s 2024 run.
The first teaser has him rapping over the “Magic Don Juan” beat from Future’s WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Trap isn’t Ye’s usual style, and his flow takes a monotone approach, flipping Future’s hook, “I got thick shit working that magic like I’m Don Juan,” into “Might just pull up to the Met Gala in some Sean John.”
Then, on the next snippet, Ye grabs the “LIL DEMON” instrumental from Future’s MIXTAPE PLUTO. With a similar cadence and flow, he raps more controversial lyrics, “Come fuck my wife with me, they hate to see me shining.” So far, fans aren’t feeling this remix as much.
Other highlights include a song from North West, reportedly titled “Calling On God,” produced by Ye for her Elementary School Dropout album, and a solo song by Ye for Bully. The solo song sounds more aligned with what fans expect the album to be like, and you can practically hear Ye’s fingerprints on the production.
While the snippets have some fans worried Bully might disappoint, others would be happy just to get a new album from Ye.
