Background and composition

[edit]

On July 23, 2024, American influencer Adin Ross shared a snippet of "Promotion", revealing rapper Future's appearance.[1] At a concert in August, Ty Dolla Sign mistakenly said that Vultures 2 topped the US Billboard 200 prior to a performance of the song.[2] "Promotion" includes synthesizer tones and drum machine sounds, with emphasis on reverb and sparse vocal samples.[3] During the songs outro, West references his hit single "Good Life" (2007), rapping "Like we always do at this..."[4][5]

Reception

[edit]

"Promotion" was met with generally negative reviews from music critics. Writing for Slant Magazine, Paul Attard felt that West is not bothered with the song and called it "too-cutesy."[6] Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop was highly critical of the production, seeing the synth tones and drums as among the most generic work of 2024.[3] In a positive review at Billboard, Michael Saponara wrote that the song features West's strongest performance on the album as he utilizes his "Midas touch" and also praised Future's appearance.[5]
