I actually cannot believe I never fucking realised Blame Game was the same song! I always loved this song, but somehow when I heard mdtf was like woaaah, blame game is a really good song, I wonder if yeezy wrote that. So wrong. Kanye's music is brilliant & all culture is a hybrid of influences, but his arrogance and his plagiarism has become too off-putting. It's bordering on derivative and shit because he's such a cunt.
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

So far this is the only song I like by them. I blame Amazon.com because they have this listed under most popular drum and bass albums and this is clearly mostly piano and not DnB. So now that I'm adjusting to the shock and lack of DnB thereof, that was a nice track.
Oh my god why is everyone getting so argumentative over people liking different versions of this song? Seriously get over it some people prefer Kanye's and some people prefer the original. Different people relate to different things and your not stupid just because you prefer a another version. Have you ever heard of respecting other opinions? we all like different music. Imo This is a beautiful piece, and i like them both.
Kanye gave this song context. Ain't nothing wrong with that. The lyrics to Blame Game are downright hard-breaking, and Avril 14th suits them perfectly.
@maxchalmers@Vangiotakis I agree. While I like all types of different music, Lil wayne is a guilty pleasure of mine. I like listening to some of his songs just for the beat and because I like the arrogance of his style, even if his lyrics are shallow and meaningless.
I found this song after I buried the strongest man I ever knew, my grandfather. Every time I hear it, it brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful piece of work.
@queefus so If you are so fucking smart ass as Kanye then please create anything like him and then blame HIM that he is no genius, and please look out for the record label that Kanye is signed to, ok let me make it easier for you its called G.O.O.D Music and it is FORMED and RUN by KANYE WEST. and yeah one more fact you missed is that kanye is not just a rapper rapping some written lyrics he gets, he is a very famous EMCEE, MUSIC PRODUCER and SINGER. now please FUCK OFF and do some research. :)
People just can't believe how kanye dig these songs from somewhere and makes a hit song... and you people should be praising Kanye for reinventing Good music.
@mustafaVEVO fuck you, you know the record label comes up with everything for kanye (lyrics, beats) ..do some research or at least look on the fucking credits on the garbage cds, that you probably don't buy, before you type a naive/ignorant comment. And if you call putting a bassline and having some dude say "lets play the blame game" over and over, I wouldn't call it "reinventing" more like shitting on good music. To end this, i'll "praise" him when hes six feet under.
@queefus ... haha... kanye writes his own lyrics, makes his own beats, finds and chops up his own samples, and hustles like he isn't even signed... I suggest YOU take a look at the credits on the album.
How did the tide of comments shift to Lil Wayne? 1.5 million views and I'm positive that 99% of the viewers don't know Lil Wayne, don't care, or all of the above. File me under 'D' for "don't give a shit."
@JetsetRM There is no such thing as a sense of good music, good music is music that can be appreciated and understood. This is a good song, and Blame Game can very well be understood and appreciated by many people. If you don't like a song then simply don't talk about it, if it sucks then why pay attention to it or even talk about it.
@JetsetRM Nothing is wrong with Kanye West, he is a human being who can make mistakes, he actually had the same feelings you had but towards his ex girlfriend, but he just let it go, so why don't you just let it go.
@JetsetRM I understand we have different viewpoints and I respect that, I just try to get people to understand other people, being misunderstood is probably one of the biggest problems in this world.
@TheClarenceter I'm not supposed to defend Kanye? Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do? Last time I checked, we are all human beings who can make our own choices, whether you like it or not is a different story but that's not my problem.
@JetsetRM It's a very good song. Avril 14th is also a very good song. I bet you're one of those idiots who thinks Richard D. James is some kind of musical god and all other music is inferior?
nothing wrong with being captivated by someone who is a little headfucked. I get to see what his view is, through his work. He's a Head fucking Genius!.
this song is so warm and inviting it reminds me of a Sunday spent indoors due to a blizzard, every aphex song takes me to a diff mind provoking universe its uncanny.
all my favourite songs are ones which can successfully mix different feelings and emotions - songs which can leave the listener on edge, or totally relaxed - with beautiful, but minimal instrumentation and the perfect length. this is definitely one of them ;)
Love Aphex Twin, Came across this vid. I had a feeling of, "where have i've heard this?" Kanye! Omg so this is where he got it from?... this or Marie Antoinette Track...
how can AphexTwin do such different things! :o I mean of course an artist has to be diversified in his art but listen to some other things that he did, .. wow ..
why are you all giving so much of a fuck? Yes Kanye sampled it. He didnt STEAL it, he SAMPLED it. if you dont understand sampling then you dont understand a part of music, because sampling plays a big role in it. Its more like paying homage and creating something new from it than it is stealing. but thats beside the point anyway, all the time you spend arguing in the comments your missing out on the beautiful video and song. I like both Aphex Twin and Kanye. quit criticizing every fuckin thing
I'm sure all artists get inspired by other songs, and they all use their inspiration differently. Kanye and John didn't steal the song, they were inspired and made their own version of it! I think it's ridiculous that someone would call him a pathetic artist for that. Kanye is a great artist and his music is fabulous!
Oh god, go away. I don't care if you fuckheads like Kanye West. I'm more pissed that you idiots come in here and say something along the lines of "OMG BLAME GAME" like fucking sheep. Now all of the comments are "Kanye West this" and "Kanye West that". Jesus, you people suck the fun out of everything.
I don't understand why all the visible comments have nothing to do with the beautiful music in this video. It's a magnificently artistic song. Many people will like it. Some people will remix and do other things with it. I consider that a compliment to the artist. Isn't imitation the highest form of flattery? Can't we all just appreciate the fact that we get to be alive for the brief moment in time when this song existed?
@SpennyPwns hahah art history? 3 years of art!?!/ no way that means you know everything their is to know about art right? shut the fuck up . your dumb
@Vangiotakis I'm not the one saying I know everything man, it's the guy that won't stop responding to me. He complains that I have issues with him disagreeing, yet he keeps talking, like he has something to prove.
@BabySefus But you keep talking. And you obviously think your some hotshot for going to community college, and that's a stupid concept you have. Grow up man. You're obviously the one that keeps coming at me, weren't YOU the one that insulted ME for not liking Kanye? You're a dumbass.
wow lol. the most mainstream-friendly aphex twin song was sampled in two hip hop songs and a film. only if rdj decided to pander to the masses a bit more he could be a billionaire!
I don't even care that Kanye sampled the song, it's just that he did such a shitty job with it. It had such good potential. And he the outcome is shit. It's always shit. Kanye's shit.
Nope. It's nothing new, just sounds like every other shitty hip hop song. It barely even rhymed or had flow. Just like most of Kayne's work. Very overhyped.
@jaysanchez96 So what? Just because I can't throw down a shitty flow and barely rhyme to a beat doesn't mean I can't point out that it's bad. It's like saying, "You don't have the right to say cancer sucks! You've never had cancer!" Idiot. Yeah, I can't do better, that's why I keep my arrogant, whiny, and overhyped mouth shut.
@SpennyPwns hip hop doesn't have to have flow, it's a way of telling a story, open versed poetry. dipshit. Apparently, you aren't smart enough to realize that music can have any feeling, or style, it's emotional expression at it's finest. I personally like the song and if you don't, that's fine, so be it.
@BabySefus If I wanted poetry, I'd read it. I wouldn't listen to it. That's the dumbest point ANYONE's tried to make me about Kanye. And I've heard a lot. Music is about listening. I want something I can feel. I can move to. And unfortunately a guy talking just doesn't cut it. And trust me, I'm sure you like it, considering you have to back him up and make sure his work is known as gold. I'm sure Kanye went on YouTube, and saw my comment and in turn, was very sad. But then he saw yours! Joy!
@SpennyPwns I'm not "backing him up". I'm just stating that it was a good song. You see, the thing is, hip-hop is much deeper than you so realize. If you want something you can move to, go listen to the Top 40 Pop Charts, or Lil' Wayne, real hip hop is about expression of deep emotions and telling life stories. So stop being butthurt and gtfo.
@BabySefus You're the one complaining and you keep responding. Why are you telling me to get the fuck out? Sounds like little elitist prick has an identity crisis. Top 40 pop charts don't sound nice. Simple. And you're so superior to me, because you label talking as art. And isn't Lil' Wayne hip hop? Really, there's some nice literature out there I think you'd get a kick out of, since your a emotional expert. There are these things called "Novels", they were made for the mentally elite, IE: You.
@SpennyPwns I never labeled talking as an art, you're so fucking stupid, he's not talking, he's rapping. Lil' Wayne isn't hip-hop, he's hip-pop, makes his music about smoking weed and degrading women. His lyrics have no point to them, no story to tell. Kanye has a story to tell and it actually does rhyme; if you've even listened to the song thoroughly you would know that. Literature is for people who fail in life, and never become anything but an English teacher's masturbation idol.
@BabySefus And shitty music is for people who live in basements, and never becomes anything but something for a pudgy little shit to defend on the internet. You're saying that because this guy makes 3 minute verses of poetry he's a real artists, but actual poets and writers don't succeed and require LESS art? Bro, you're an idiot. Yeah, unfortunately I can't listen to one of his songs fully, because they're trash. Grow up man, you obviously know nothing about art.
@SpennyPwns I can write a poem in five minutes, but it takes time to connect a story with music and make it sound good. You use the same excuses each retort and it's getting fucking old. I know a LOT more about art than you do, I've taken 3 years of Art, and Art History, so don't try to dumb me down with your stupid bullshit mantra about how I know nothing and I'm stupid. Sounds like you know nothing, you're just a fucking idiot that has an issue with someone disagreeing with you.
@SpennyPwns dude lil wayne? he can go suck a dick his songs arent deep they are fucking dumb go to bed and grow the fuck up and start actually listening to good music
@Vangiotakis What the hell are you talking about? I don't even listen to Li'l Wayne. In fact, I hate almost all hip-hop/rap. There's only a little bit that I like, and he certainly isn't in that bit. And also, why are you so hostile over a misunderstanding? Sounds like you need to grow the fuck up and start actually reading.
@Vangiotakis yea people dont understand that wayne's music as no depth or meaning to it. When you strip it of all the theatrics, punchlines, and fast flow you have nada... music is supposed to be food for the soul.. home cooked food. Wayne is like taking a pill a day thats supposed to have the same nutrients as 3 meals.. hes not organic at all.
@kratokhvilljack you're doing this sort of comparison: "don't listen to Arctic Monkeys, they don't know how to play guitar! you must listen to Satriani". different sounds. this song has atmosphere. Liszt has it too, but in another context with another musical structure much more complex. don't judge people by their musical taste and don't judge music by the techniques that are or are not used in a composition. if you understand music, you know that music is much more than techniques.
take it easy for god sake you people are totally uneducated you think this is some quality music or something this piano is as simple as a justin bieber song...thats why it has that many views,,,if you want to listen to quality piano try to listen to a list etude ...see the fuckn difference
all of you suddenly became music experts or something this is like POP Piano or something like yann tiersen and thats the reason that even a 12year old kid will like as he likes bieber.nothing special
Every time one goes to a song Kanye sample, one finds a bunch of ppl who don't know how sampling works, and a whole bunch of ppl mad that Kanye sampled a song from their favorite artist. Sampling is not just taking another artist song, they have to get the original artist permission first and pay them. Instead of being upset at Kanye sampling the song be upset at the artist for selling the rights to song, they always have the option of saying no and not taking the money.
@jayjayjj718 they dont always need the aritsts permission, I hope youre right and richard gave his permission, and it wasnt his record label who gave it the ok.
If he did, kanye is a lucky guy, Aphex wouldnt do it for the money, but because he liked the song, this is something richard never really does, and he wouldnt collaborate with bigger names than kanye, He usually only collabs with people you never heard of in the hope you expand your tastes, not to make a quick buck on a generic song.
@jayjayjj718 It doesn't both me that Kanye samples other people's work. It bothers me that he consistently does almost nothing to the samples he uses besides pitch/tempo changes and adding a beat.

Love this track. This track is light but still maintains the air of solitude and mourning.
I made a tribute music video for the track using the actual recording. Its the video to the side my mattf1990. Hope you guys like it.
mattf1990 1 month ago 13
why are you all giving so much of a fuck? Yes Kanye sampled it. He didnt STEAL it, he SAMPLED it. if you dont understand sampling then you dont understand a part of music, because sampling plays a big role in it. Its more like paying homage and creating something new from it than it is stealing. but thats beside the point anyway, all the time you spend arguing in the comments your missing out on the beautiful video and song. I like both Aphex Twin and Kanye. quit criticizing every fuckin thing

I'm sure all artists get inspired by other songs, and they all use their inspiration differently. Kanye and John didn't steal the song, they were inspired and made their own version of it! I think it's ridiculous that someone would call him a pathetic artist for that. Kanye is a great artist and his music is fabulous!

Oh god, go away. I don't care if you fuckheads like Kanye West. I'm more pissed that you idiots come in here and say something along the lines of "OMG BLAME GAME" like fucking sheep. Now all of the comments are "Kanye West this" and "Kanye West that". Jesus, you people suck the fun out of everything.

I don't understand why all the visible comments have nothing to do with the beautiful music in this video. It's a magnificently artistic song. Many people will like it. Some people will remix and do other things with it. I consider that a compliment to the artist. Isn't imitation the highest form of flattery? Can't we all just appreciate the fact that we get to be alive for the brief moment in time when this song existed?

Nope. It's nothing new, just sounds like every other shitty hip hop song. It barely even rhymed or had flow. Just like most of Kayne's work. Very overhyped.
@jaysanchez96 So what? Just because I can't throw down a shitty flow and barely rhyme to a beat doesn't mean I can't point out that it's bad. It's like saying, "You don't have the right to say cancer sucks! You've never had cancer!" Idiot. Yeah, I can't do better, that's why I keep my arrogant, whiny, and overhyped mouth shut.

@SpennyPwns hip hop doesn't have to have flow, it's a way of telling a story, open versed poetry. dipshit. Apparently, you aren't smart enough to realize that music can have any feeling, or style, it's emotional expression at it's finest. I personally like the song and if you don't, that's fine, so be it.
BabySefus 2 months ago
@BabySefus If I wanted poetry, I'd read it. I wouldn't listen to it. That's the dumbest point ANYONE's tried to make me about Kanye. And I've heard a lot. Music is about listening. I want something I can feel. I can move to. And unfortunately a guy talking just doesn't cut it. And trust me, I'm sure you like it, considering you have to back him up and make sure his work is known as gold. I'm sure Kanye went on YouTube, and saw my comment and in turn, was very sad. But then he saw yours! Joy!
SpennyPwns 2 months ago
@SpennyPwns I'm not "backing him up". I'm just stating that it was a good song. You see, the thing is, hip-hop is much deeper than you so realize. If you want something you can move to, go listen to the Top 40 Pop Charts, or Lil' Wayne, real hip hop is about expression of deep emotions and telling life stories. So stop being butthurt and gtfo.
BabySefus 2 months ago
@BabySefus You're the one complaining and you keep responding. Why are you telling me to get the fuck out? Sounds like little elitist prick has an identity crisis. Top 40 pop charts don't sound nice. Simple. And you're so superior to me, because you label talking as art. And isn't Lil' Wayne hip hop? Really, there's some nice literature out there I think you'd get a kick out of, since your a emotional expert. There are these things called "Novels", they were made for the mentally elite, IE: You.
SpennyPwns 2 months ago
@SpennyPwns I never labeled talking as an art, you're so fucking stupid, he's not talking, he's rapping. Lil' Wayne isn't hip-hop, he's hip-pop, makes his music about smoking weed and degrading women. His lyrics have no point to them, no story to tell. Kanye has a story to tell and it actually does rhyme; if you've even listened to the song thoroughly you would know that. Literature is for people who fail in life, and never become anything but an English teacher's masturbation idol.
BabySefus 2 months ago
@BabySefus And shitty music is for people who live in basements, and never becomes anything but something for a pudgy little shit to defend on the internet. You're saying that because this guy makes 3 minute verses of poetry he's a real artists, but actual poets and writers don't succeed and require LESS art? Bro, you're an idiot. Yeah, unfortunately I can't listen to one of his songs fully, because they're trash. Grow up man, you obviously know nothing about art.
SpennyPwns 2 months ago
@SpennyPwns I can write a poem in five minutes, but it takes time to connect a story with music and make it sound good. You use the same excuses each retort and it's getting fucking old. I know a LOT more about art than you do, I've taken 3 years of Art, and Art History, so don't try to dumb me down with your stupid bullshit mantra about how I know nothing and I'm stupid. Sounds like you know nothing, you're just a fucking idiot that has an issue with someone disagreeing with you.

@Vangiotakis What the hell are you talking about? I don't even listen to Li'l Wayne. In fact, I hate almost all hip-hop/rap. There's only a little bit that I like, and he certainly isn't in that bit. And also, why are you so hostile over a misunderstanding? Sounds like you need to grow the fuck up and start actually reading.
SpennyPwns 2 months ago
@Vangiotakis yea people dont understand that wayne's music as no depth or meaning to it. When you strip it of all the theatrics, punchlines, and fast flow you have nada... music is supposed to be food for the soul.. home cooked food. Wayne is like taking a pill a day thats supposed to have the same nutrients as 3 meals.. hes not organic at all.

@kratokhvilljack you're doing this sort of comparison: "don't listen to Arctic Monkeys, they don't know how to play guitar! you must listen to Satriani". different sounds. this song has atmosphere. Liszt has it too, but in another context with another musical structure much more complex. don't judge people by their musical taste and don't judge music by the techniques that are or are not used in a composition. if you understand music, you know that music is much more than techniques.

Every time one goes to a song Kanye sample, one finds a bunch of ppl who don't know how sampling works, and a whole bunch of ppl mad that Kanye sampled a song from their favorite artist. Sampling is not just taking another artist song, they have to get the original artist permission first and pay them. Instead of being upset at Kanye sampling the song be upset at the artist for selling the rights to song, they always have the option of saying no and not taking the money.
jayjayjj718 2 months ago 37
@jayjayjj718 they dont always need the aritsts permission, I hope youre right and richard gave his permission, and it wasnt his record label who gave it the ok.
If he did, kanye is a lucky guy, Aphex wouldnt do it for the money, but because he liked the song, this is something richard never really does, and he wouldnt collaborate with bigger names than kanye, He usually only collabs with people you never heard of in the hope you expand your tastes, not to make a quick buck on a generic song.

@jayjayjj718 It doesn't both me that Kanye samples other people's work. It bothers me that he consistently does almost nothing to the samples he uses besides pitch/tempo changes and adding a beat.
