I hear from various pop culture sources that Kanye West is some kind of megalomaniacal huge douche but this Runaway track linked in the OP is quite exquisite and I generally don't care about the personality of the man who made my dinner so who gives a toss. Don't know if the lyrics ruin it, I have extreme difficulty following English lyrics. If I were unwilling to give money to someone who isn't entirely likable I'd have to find somewhere to live where there ain't no government at all and I don't think I'd much like it. edit: Im in deep central Europe, so what I know about Kanye is based entirely on south park, various other tv shows probably and youtube videos of where he acted like a pissant at that award ceremony. \/ \/ \/ that good poster fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Nov 9, 2010 |

Anyone that has told you that Kanye West isn't mostly likable is lying to you.

I think this interview will change your mind if you think he's mostly unlikable. e: wait, is it  to link a radio rip of an interview? If it is, I'll remove the link.

I don't want to spoil anything, but word going around is that the end of Blame Game has an interesting surprise. I'm not sure how I feel about it so far.

Lyrics to Blame Gamequote:
Listen here: http://youraudiofix.com/2010/11/09/exclusive-kanye-west-feat-john-legend-blame-game/ That must have been one bitter rear end break up. I like John Legend but the ending could have been cut. I wish they stuck with the original album cover, I hope it gets released with it in Europe.

Well I was attempting to avoid the Chris Rock ending spoiler if anyone was saving themselves til the actual album came out. I honestly like the outro after a couple listens. It's like a skit from CD or LR except well executed.

He was on the album's Wiki on the list of collaborators when I checked yesterday. Although I just checked, and that list has been removed  There was somebody else that I remember being surprised to see on there, but I can't remember who and I can't check it now.

For those interested, Pitchfork (and, I assume, nbc.com) have video of the Matt Lauer interview that Kanye was referring to. It's pretty obvious with the Bush clip that they're trying to spike up Kanye's emotions, and he calls them on it. In general, though, nothing really unusual about NBC's tactics, though that may be more of an indictment of modern television news as a whole.

Wow Matt Lauer obviously does not care and went all the way even showing Kanye's tweets. Well that sucks for Kanye, good on him that he called them out on it.

It was pretty hosed up how he kept trying to put words in Kanye's mouth and make him say something else. You could see Kanye was really trying hard to put the right words together so no one could take them out of context or spin them and Matt just kept pressing. Pretty rude to treat a guest that way. I do think Kanye blew up a bit about the video clip thing, it's something they always do and if he really didn't want them to play it he could have probably just had his publicist or manager ask them not to.

This is true, but I think his irritation was a reasonably acceptable result of the prior part of the interview where Lauer was constantly trying to manipulate him into saying something stupid or controversial. It's just like he's had enough, doesn't want to be there, and he snaps.

So near the end of Blame Game, Kanye does a bit of spoken word and says "Chloe Mitchell", which turns out to be a relatively unknown black female poet who wrote the bit. Kanye is always fascinating in who he chooses to work with.

I'm hesitant to say this, because I often jump on people who overreact to albums upon first listen, but this is unbelievable. It's been a few years since I've been this blown away by the sheer musical expertise and maturity of an album like this.

For me, this is the first Kanye West album where I have not skipped a single track. I knew it was going to be good but I had no idea it would be this perfect. Also this is the first time I have heard Nicki Minaj and my god is she a monster. The change of voices mid song are incredible, is this typically her style?

Yeah, she is seriously nuts and I love how varied her delivery is. Some songs she plays it straight, but she'll do voice changes like that in others. This album is amazing and I will buy it the day it comes out.

I love this album and for me it's the best thing he's done since CD and LR, but I have real mixed feelings about Blame Game. I felt like the Chris Rock part is one of those 'funny once, don't wanna sit through it twice' things, y'know. I'm also surprised 'See Me Now' didn't make it to the final tracklist - seemed like it would have been a huge song with a little bit of editing for song length. I also love what he did with 'Devil In A New Dress', I think that went from being an eh Good Friday track to being a highlight of the album Final Fart Buttball fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Nov 12, 2010 |

I don't wanna get spergy about Kanye like I am constantly doing in this thread, but IMO it carries some pretty powerful emotion considering it's supposed to be from the perspective of Kanye listening to the conversation over the phone. I think it's well executed and not grating like the CD/LR skits. Oh and also Blame Game is a metaphor for the music industry.

See Me Now is an iTunes bonus track with an added verse from Big Sean
