Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign confuse fans with remake of Vanessa Carlton’s ‘A Thousand Miles’

As a seasoned gamer and music enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of hip-hop over the past two decades, I must say that the remake of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign is quite an unexpected twist. While it initially left me scratching my head in confusion, I soon found myself chuckling at the audacity and creativity of these artists.

In the year 2021, when Spinabenz, Yungeen Ace, FastMoney Goon, and Whoppa Wit Da Choppa remixed Vanessa Carlton’s 2002 hit “A Thousand Miles” for their track “Who I Smoke”, Vanessa Carlton granted her consent.

It’s intriguing to learn more about the upcoming remake of her song by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign, as they unveiled it during their “Vultures Listening Experience” show at Haikou’s Wuyuanhe Stadium on Saturday. The performance was a part of this event.

A video captures one man performing song lyrics reminiscent of “A Thousand Miles” for a packed audience, causing some to voice puzzlement on social media. Interestingly, the track includes quips from comedian Skinbone, who did a humorous take on “A Thousand Miles” in 2018 with his parody.

As a passionate fan, I find myself asking, “Has this turned into the age of vultures instead?” This is truly disheartening, as expressed by another on HipHopDX. Similarly, someone on YouTube simply stated, “This is awful.” Another individual shared their thoughts on Twitter, saying, “Kanye seems to be losing his creative spark in real time, laughing out loud.” Lastly, a fourth fan wrote, “Vultures 3 might just become the ultimate troll.

However, some found the remake charmingly amusing instead of listening to critics. For instance, one person wrote, “I couldn’t care less about what others say; this is both beautiful and hilarious at once.

In another segment of the program, Kanye West criticized Adidas, a company previously associated with his Yeezy line, following their split in 2022 due to his making offensive anti-Semitic comments. The audience could be heard shouting “f**k Adidas”, causing Kanye to make an obscene gesture. He seemed concerned, saying, “I hope that was okay,” possibly wondering if he had broken China’s laws regarding indecency.

People may remember the highly-publicized disagreement between Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and the sports apparel company, which involved Ye criticizing them in several public appearances. Furthermore, he alleged that Adidas had frozen $75 million from his bank accounts.
