Akon’s Fake Apology Song “Sorry, Blame It On Me”

Posted in Hip Hop, Music, Rap by The Gossip Monger on June 16th, 2007.

We’re not satisfied with Akon’s song Sorry, Blame It On Me, which you can listen to online in mp3. First, the drum beats and backing are so cheesy we know he hacked this up in a day for publicities sake, not because he actually is sorry. Second, check out what the lyrics are:

As life goes on I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility
I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out and apologize for things I have done
And things that have not occurred yet
And the things they don’t want to take responsibility for

Tranlsation: I’m Akon, and because I’m not sorry, I’m absolving myself for the stuff that hasn’t even happened yet. That’s right, the scandals I cause in the future are ok–I’m apologizing now! But, it gets better:

I’m sorry I’m not always there for my son
I’m sorry for the fact that I am not aware
That you can’t sleep at night when I am not there
Because I am in the streets like everyday

I’m sorry I’m a deadbeat dad and lousy husband, but I’m keeping it real! I’m real in the streets! I don’t need no family!

I understand that there are some problems
I’ll be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me

A good translation of this line from Akonglish to English would realize that it’s a not-so-subtle way of proclaiming “This is how it is; you better learn to live with it, because it’s how I am.” Well, Akon may be able to say “Blame me” and not give a shit, but we know better. This song isn’t a real apology, it’s a sham.

thats what you do isnt it ? someone is being apologetic and saying sorry so you just blast him for it. cuz he's being too easy for you. well how about all those other celebrities that mess up and then dont even apologize and then you just forget about the whole thing a few months later ? well how about what Justin Timberlake did for example ? so if Akon has the guts to say sorry in public - that too through a song - you might as well respect him for it. and get some self-respect for YOURSELF !!

calling you an idiota will be an understatement. you need to get you mentallity straighten dude.... that was really twisted. ...if you choose to write an article about an artist concerning a certain incident make sure you are not biased in anyway or whatever you'll say will just be crap. sorry. :P

Whoever wrote this is a tool. Wouldn't you be pissed off if someone threw a bottle at you? Everyone reacts in a different way. That kid got it lucky. And why is there even an arguement about that little girl? Yeah, your right maybe Akon should have ID'd her before she came onstage!?!? Thats the responsibilty of the club and the bouncers. Its his life anyways. You have no right to judge him. Who put you on a pedestal?? Get back down before someone smacks you down.
