All Your Fault (feat. Kanye West)

Big Sean's 'All Your Fault,' featuring Kanye West, is a dynamic exploration of ambition, success, and the complexities that come with fame. The song opens with a confident declaration of their status and achievements, setting the tone for a narrative that oscillates between braggadocio and introspection. The repeated phrase 'lit for your love' suggests a duality in their motivations—both the pursuit of success and the desire for validation and love.

Kanye West's verse is a whirlwind of cultural references and metaphors, comparing himself to iconic figures like Michael Jackson and Tom Cruise. This not only highlights his self-perceived greatness but also underscores the surreal nature of his life. The line 'If you leave Mickey, you gon' end up with a goofy' cleverly uses Disney characters to comment on relationships and loyalty, while also touching on societal issues like police brutality and media portrayal with 'cops chokin' niggas out in the media.' This juxtaposition of personal success and social commentary adds depth to the song, making it more than just a boastful anthem.

Big Sean's verses continue this theme of ambition and the relentless pursuit of greatness. He reflects on his journey from humble beginnings to his current status, emphasizing the sacrifices and hard work required to reach the top. The line 'I ain't satisfied until I'm on that all-time list' encapsulates his drive for lasting legacy and recognition. The song also touches on the superficial aspects of fame, such as material wealth and relationships, but ultimately circles back to the idea that true success is about more than just external validation. The closing lines, 'if you want the crown, bitch you gotta take it,' serve as a powerful reminder of the relentless determination needed to achieve one's dreams.
