On the final, there are a few little lyrical changes in the verses, but most notably there’s a difference in vocal effects. This track feels hesitant and unfinished, which works to the advantage of the song, but it still thrives in its whole form. On the song, Kanye West croons over the chorus himself, prior to drafting John Legend and his gentle vocals to take over hook duty. The original version of “Blame Game” enacts a much heavier feeling of distress upon listening. John Legend and Chris Rock Are Recruited for "Blame Game" Kanye West Featuring John Legend On the song, the phrase “Can we get much higher?,” sung by Teyana Taylor, not only set the tone for the rest of the track, but for the entire project by declaring an imaginative ascension into the depths of Yeezy's musical mind. Eventually, it served as an angelic prelude to the “bring the ruckus”-type beat drop, brought to you by the legend RZA. Additionally, in the old reference, it sounds as if there's a double layer of Nicki's voice, and the chorus of the song isn’t heard until after ’Ye’s first verse.

'All of the lights' features an eclectic selection of Kanye's favourite artists at the moment including Rihanna, KiD CuDi, Elton John, who plays the piano line, Alicia Keys, Fergie and Charlie Wilson. The album covers an array of themes such as escapism, sex, wealth and self-acceptance. The album takes us on a personal journey with Kanye West in which he shares his moments of self-doubt in 'Lost in the world' which samples Bon Iver's 'Woods', moments of a contrasting self-belief and great sense of achievement in 'Power' as he states that he "do it better than anybody you ever seen do it". The album begins with a narrative opening of 'Dark Fantasy' with Nicki Minaj adapting an English accent mirroring that of Roald Dahl's poetic rework of 'Cinderella'.

This is his fifth album which includes US Billboard hits 'Power', 'Monster' and 'Runaway', was anticipated for weeks, shortly after the release of his 'Runaway' 30 minute music video/short film. He reportedly spent hours on end in the studio co-producing this album followed by short naps and more hours dedicated to this masterpiece.
