Kanye West FT. John Legend- Blame Game

All of the good music released this month has been overwhelming! I've been so behind for the last few weeks that I feel obligated to pass on a few of my favorite tracks to those that have been living under that same rock...

Mr. West has been behind our over abundance of great music for the last couple of months. What would music be without that guy? He is a genius and has graciously used his talent to bring some of the best music out this year to our ears. I would have to say that Kanye's new "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is an amazing album which touches on his ever most deep and dark thoughts and twisted fantasies. Its hard to describe in words what only Yeezy so eloquently does through his music. So I suggest if you haven't heard the album you should definitely pick it up on Tuesday and hear it for yourself...(It will be worth the money trust me).

If you are a Kanye fan or even if you aren't he will make you a believer. One of my favorite songs on the album is "Blame Game" featuring John Legend who Kanye often collaborates with. The song starts off with John Legends soulful sound followed by the piano. I can't decide what is better the beat or they Lyrics. I think both complement each other and the song's lyrics are reminiscent of "Flashing Lights" but on a deeper level. I mean who can imagine a better LOVE-HATE song than "Flashing Lights?" Well it appears that Kanye has out done himself this time. If you don't do anything else today, listen to this song but most importantly LISTEN to the lyrics. These lyrics are more familiar to me now and I'm sure at some point and some place you can relate. (Lyrics Below)

"I'd rather argue with you than be with someone else"



Kanye West – Blame Game Lyrics
[John Legend]
Let’s play the blame game, I love you, more
Let’s play the blame game for sure.
Let’s call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let’s call her names, names, for sure.
I’ll call you bitch for sure
As a last resort, and my first resort
You call me motherf-cker for long,
at the end of it you know we both were wrong.

But I love to play the blame game, I love you more.
Let’s play the blame game for sure.
Let’s call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let’s call her names, names, for sure.

[Kanye West]
On a bathroom wall I wrote
“I’d rather argue with you than to be with someone else” (else, else, else)
I took a piss and dismiss it and went and found somebody else
arguing harvesting the feelings, I’d rather be by my f-cking self
till about 2am and I call back and I hang up and start to blame myself
somebody help

[Chorus - John Legend]

[Kanye West]
You weren’t perfect but you made life worth it
stick around, real feelings might surface
been a long time since I spoke to you in a bathroom gripping you up and choking you
what the hell was I supposed to do
I know you aint getting this type of d-ck from that local dude
and if you are I hope you are have a good time
cause I definitely be having mine

and you aint finna see a mogul get emotional
every time I hear bout other n-gga’s stroking you
might say I hit you
he sitting there consoling you
threw the money, threw the mud
who’s provoking you
you should be grateful a n-gga like me even knows you
now you noticeable and cant nobody can control you
1am and can’t nobody get a hold of you
I’m calling your brothers phone like what was I supposed to do
even though I knew, he never told the truth
he was just gon say whatever you gon told him too
at a certain point I had to stop asking questions
chuck dirt on eachother like mud wrestlers
I heard he bought some coke with my money
dat aint right girl
you getting blackmailed for that white girl
lyrics courtesy of www.killerhipohp.com
you always said Yeezy I aint you’re right girl
probably find one of them “I like art” type girls
all of the lights, she was caught in the hype girl
and I was satisfied being in love with the lights
and who to blame, you to blame, me to blame
for the pain and it poured everytime it rained
lets play the blame game…

[John Legend]
Let’s play the blame game, I love you, more
Let’s play the blame game for sure.

[Kanye West]
Things used to be, now they not
anything but us is who we are
disguising ourselves as secret lovers
we’ve become public enemies
we walk away like strangers in the street
gon for eternity
we erased one another
so far from where we came
with so much of everything, how do we leave with nothing
lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
hatred and attitude tear us entirely

Let’s play the blame game, I love you, more
Let’s play the blame game for sure.
Let’s call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let’s call her names, names, for sure.

I can’t love you this much
I can’t love you this much
I can’t love you this much
I can’t love you this much
no, I can’t love you this much
I can’t love you this much

and I know that you are somehwere doing your thing
and when the phone called it just ring and ring
you aint pick up but your phone accidently called me back
and I heard the whole thing.
I heard the whole thing, the whole thing, the whole thing…
