“Who Will Survive in America” is one of my favorite outros ever, stunned me the first time I heard it, still gives me the chills. Now that I’m thinking about it, it reminds me of “Blood on the Leaves” in the sense of Kanye taking something about bigger social issues and putting it in the middle of a piece that’s about his personal life. I’ve definitely seen the argument that the “Blood on the Leaves” sample is in poor taste given the subject matter and lyrics of the overall song, and I could see a similar argument for “Who Will Survive” in the bigger context of the album. I always forget that “Blame Game” exists, my mind just automatically merges it with “Runaway” and decides they’re the same song □. To me “Blame Game” is musically pretty boring and kind of a chore to listen to, and the most memorable part by FAR is the Chris Rock skit, which is still funny but I have mixed feelings about. If i had to pick a song from this album to highlight that wasn’t one of the huge well-known hits, it would be “Devil in a New Dress”, that song is really something. The production is beautiful, Kanye is hilariously petty on there in a way that doesn’t get too dark, Rick Ross’ lines still randomly pop into my head to this day. That said, everyone on this thread is already talking about how amazing that song is LMAO.
