"Society blames the government for their problems -- poverty, homelessness, gentrification, unemployment, drug abuse -- yet, the government blames society for these same issues." -- DaVinci

Ever since familiarizing myself with DaVinci last year, his voice, lyrics and overall presentation have always tended to symbolize the environment which cultivated him. As a person who has never come close to travelling to California, I can respect that. "Blame Game" -- produced (and directed) by Al Jieh -- features the Aphex Twin's "Avril 14th" which was made popular in the Hip-Hop world by Kanye West's dark and twisted track donning the same name. This is not slated to appear on his upcoming EP Feast Or Famine or second album The MOEna Lisa. Rather, it is a collection of thoughts that did not make The Day The Turf Stood Still and held special importance throughout Black History Month. The feel of the sample is still as eerie as the first time it made its way through speakers, only unlike 'Ye, DaVinci does not rest on the evils of a specific relationship. You read the quote above. There is a much more sinister blame game in play.

@aappiinna The Lonely Island guys sampled it before Kanye did lol. Kanye probably found it from watching Saturday Night Live.

[KevinTheVillian]

@armen1992 I think He's referring to the government stilling from the hood not literally but in a figurative way

[macbisanisjubby]

@azuritereaction Kanye should also get some minor credit, none of these rappers would even know the sample without him. Aphex still deserves the biggest credit.
