5/Jamie Foxx feat. T-Pain/Blame It
In theory, the narrative of this song right here ain’t supposed to work when the music is subtracted and it’s applied to real life. Think about it, a guy and a group of his homeboys hit the club for a night out. And the leader of the pack is OUTRAGEOUS, living it up, having a good time, and rolling hard off that Liquid Courage. And this fool can’t be contained, ask his homies, who have let him wander off, and “turn his swag on”, talking to any fly young thing that catches his eye. What can he say? Blame it on the goose, got him feeling loose. Blame it on the ‘tron, got him in the zone. Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-al-co-hol!
So, where were we?…
Ah yes, so Mr. OUTRAGEOUS is feeling good, feeling great, and here he comes to ask how are you with a slight slur (that autotuned singing of Jamie’s is supposed to mimic loose off that drank talk, right?), full of confidence, and that aforementioned Liquid Courage. “I know you saying what you won’t do,” he says, “But you know we probably gone do, what you been feelin’ deep inside”. Next thing you know he’s refilling your drink, feelin’ on ya butt (WHAT?!), you gettin’ tipsy, and he’s showing you what you been missing in your life. This can’t be life, right? That’ll never go down in such a smooth manner up in da club right? Not in this case. Not when the beat is as silky smooth and darkly lit as the club in which this all takes place, and hummable autotuned hooks and lyrics abound. Not to mention King Autotune himself, T-Pain, popping up at the end quoting The Dream and tossing out that “Tallahassee Love”. “Courting” in the club, with this stance, is never supposed to be this easy or commendable, but boy do Jamie Foxx and T-Pain make it seem believable/possible. Blame it on the vodka. Blame it on the Henny. Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-al-co-hol!
