February 13, 2008 New Video: Kanye West “Flashing Lights”

Kanye West just released a video for “Flashing Lights”. It’s my favorite song from the Graduation album and I’m glad he released it as a single. Thoughts?

  • Kanye is still hot like fire. Even though he continues to make himself look like an idiot at award shows!

  • Whooooooa, well I guess he’s trying to warn everyone about those femme fatales. That was on a whole other level though :/

  • you KNOW this video is strange as $#!t! the song was one of the most crucial off the album…but what the hell does the video mean? why was the lighter fluid blurred out? kanye’s entire body can fit in the back of a dodge mustang? did she need to be strutting around naked?

    but was she not one of the most beautiful creatures you’ve ever seen!? good grief. if you want a less blurry version of the video, i put one up on my site, from onsmash…feel free to snatch it and up it. yzr.

  • NOW THAT’S A WOMAN!!!!!!!!!! OMG THAT MODEL IS HOTTTT!!!!

  • Ummm yeah great concept but where is the rest of this video? The song is longer than three minutes.

  • Oh my damn, that is not what I was expecting.

  • She made me want to go straight! lol

    But this video is waaaaaaayyyyy out there. He could have went so many ways with the story of the jump off but he kept it real. Some women won’t burn your clothes up and throw them in the back of a BMW a la Angela Bassett in ‘Waiting To Exhale.’ They’ll kill you as quick as man would kill a woman over emotions! Let this be a message…don’t lead no one on. Good day!

  • call me sick but i love that video. that should go down as an all time classic. omg and mama was FIERCE as FUCk. when she got out of that skirt and got into her lingerie, flawless. wow what an amazing video. in my opinion this video is up there with thriller. i jus wish it woulda been a longer video.

  • whoo that video was unexpected. Kanye always comes with some next level ish. Oh and that models body is off she friggin CHAIN!. U betta work heffa!

  • LOVE IT!! not the regular video rapping. Video that makes you think and wonder I love those.
    Thank You Kanye.

  • What the… that was hot and sexy and I loved it. I don’t think this will be released to TV though. Nice little story line, hot song, hot model, just got me wondering what the HELL did he do…

  • yeah the first poster said it, kanye and these award shows don’t mix, i mean damn if he doesn’t act like an ass as EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!! but about the video, well the portion we say, i liked, i never listened to the full song so i have no clue what it’s about but i’ll give it a listen since i’m already liking the vid.

  • ooh and that chick in the video IS HOT HOT HOT, OMG SHE’S WAS GORGEOUS!

  • what the fuck was that?
    ok, it’s different, but i LOVED this song and i had high expectations for this video.. i’m not feelin it, maybe it needs to grow on me

  • LSB,

    I would to see you do that PawPaw dance to this song… slow and sexy

  • That video was tight, but is that all of it?

  • I can’t wait to see the entire video. Kanye got me wondering…LOL!

    And yeah, i’m a strait female and I even went bug-eyed when that chick took that fur coat off. LOL!!! That is a bad ass female right there, she better work!

  • This video os retarded. I don’t want to have to think that hard about what a video is trying to convey. It should be right there or make you think a little but this video made zero sense.

  • ^^ Go listen to the lyrics of the song and you will find that the video makes perfect sense. This video is a teaser, its not the full thing.

  • I think it was fantastic.

    I think for him (Kanye) it’s not about the video representing the song so much.

    He want’s you to feel the song and then feel the video, something to make you think about.

    It’s moving art.

    He wasn’t a performer in the video the Woman was Kanye just had a supporting role.

    :3

    But if the truth is the truth and this is just a preview then he’s got more to go with this.

    Kanye=Genius

  • actually i like it. i want to see the whole thing and like 18 said i am straight and went bug eyed too. that skirt was fierce

  • Yes, fellas we ladies have a lil crazy in us.

  • I can’t stop watching this chick walk back to that car… LAWD HAMMERCY ON MY SOUL!!!!!!

  • I AGREE WITH LIL MISS PIGGY.. I THINK ACTUALLY THIS GUY DID A BETTER JOB..

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40G8sbl6o9c

    I SAW THIS SHIT AND WAS LIKE HOLY CRAP.. KANYE’S BETTER BE HOTTER…

    AND SORRY.. SOME BIG BOOTIE BITCH, LIGHTING A COAT AND KILLIN’ HIM IN THE DESERT?? FIERCE? WAIT .. WHO STILL SAYS FIERCE?

    ANYWAY.. I HAD HIGHER EXPECTATIONS..

  • that was original and hot and i think i get the concept of the song now juss listen to the words while ur watching n you’ll probably get it

  • I thought the model was Tyra at first…she’s shaped just like that chick.

  • Wow…ummm ok then…Do you know how many times i’ve wanted to do that lol. The video was hot.

  • I agree at listening to the lyrics and understanding. The female was fabulous but she can work on her walk, then again with her D’s it shouldn’t matter lol, I guess. No where near Tyra, Tyra knows how to work em so it looks sexy without ya tits coming out the bra literally, but she worked it out

  • The Vid Confuses me. The model’s body is UNSTOPPABLE. OH TO BE 5′10″ and have her metabolism…….

  • It’s different which is why I love it.

  • Not what I visioned for the song, looks interesting though.

  • Apparently Mista Kanyeezy, dont know a damn thing, getting lock in the trunk. God bless his soul, Take him Highya Lord.

    That’s still Hot though!!!

  • i didnt understand it

  • If you didn’t understanding it, then that just means you’ve never had a man buy you something and fuck you over. Lol… I’ve thought of doing this a few times!!!

  • what did i just look at? question

  • did anyone else hear about the model in this video selling her used panties on the internet? smh

  • 1st of all, that video that was posted as the flashing lights remix was wack as hell. a dude gettin pushed by other dudes in the street made no sense 2 me. also the only thing that made tha song ok was that it was the flashing lights beat.Kanyes video was far more artistic, and fierce. and yea muthafucka i say fierce.

  • This video is hilarious, because it is so satirical. But even with a warning video like this, just like Ye said on another song. Men will still go for the “drunken hot girl”!

  • Well Damn!!! The song is great but the video is disturbing to say the least.

  • i’m speechless.. guess i have to see the entire video before i comment on it.

  • OMG. LOOOOOVVVVEEE this video. I like how Kanye once again thought outside the box for the concept of this video.The way the lyrics coincide perfectly with the storyline of the video is genius.AND The female in the video is bangin! Not to mention i loved the twist of Kanye in the trunk at the end…LOVES IT!!

  • I LOVED THIS VIDEO! If you sitting with your mouth open…GOOD! It’s hard to shock folks these days. I see alot of people were turned off but LOVED IT!

  • I LURRVVVE this video! Reminds of Quetin Tarantino movies!
