Flashing Lights

[Feb13]

Graduation, Videos

Update: No this isn't a "trailer" or "preview"!

  1. XXXIII [Feb13] :

    Wow Not Wut I Expected

  2. YayJay [Feb13] :

    Kanye is the best there is, he just got 3 Grammy's and you think that after all this time he'll give us something like this.. It's just a pre-thingy, not the whole thing... You know the thing that Jay-z did with Blue Magic, the trailer for the videoclip, this is ye's trailer...

  3. Airjuhst [Feb13] :

    I don't care Kanye is the best so I still respect this video even though its a trailer

  4. dizzy [Feb13] :

    he just got 3 Grammy’s and you think that after all this time he'll give us something like this..

    He won 4 my G.

  5. bernabebruin5 [Feb13] :

    yea this can't be the full thing cuz on the review of the video after the Grammys the report said that it was a short...meaning short movie. but if this is the real thing i think its hot. minimal with lots of meaning.

  6. Jon_J [Feb13] :

    wow umm so this is just a trailer or yall guessing????

  7. Kanye West- Flashing Lights « Cosign [Feb13] :

    [...] from http://www.kanyelive.com [...]

  8. YayJay [Feb13] :

    Yeah, whoops:P sorry, knew that you could track my IP, but I don't want ya'll to think this is it... I don't wanna think it is, but I left a note in the Flashing Lights tread
    It ain't got the original picture in it, the picture when he anounced the producer.. On his blog... And damn, if this is it Kanye must have really had a huge shock and blow to his head when his mother died, no dissrespect, but I just don't think Kanye is gonna do us this shit... He's the one who made the Stronger video, he directed John Legends Ordinary People... Think people, we dealing with a creative mastermind

  9. Justin [Feb13] :

    This is the real video...

  10. YayJay [Feb13] :

    And bout the grammy's.. I know, I just didn't see the grammys and I confused myself with the ones he got for LR, and the 4th grammy, it was really commons, be realistic...
    We wouldn't give Dwele a award if Kanye had a grammy for flashing lights : in a matter of speaking

  11. throwdown [Feb13] :

    I hope this is a trailer but why do you guys think that? I don't see how it is, consider he said he was done shooting the "video" when he posted the screen shot on his blog, and the video includes the entire song minus the last chorus...how much further can it go? The weird thing is I thought BET wasn't premiering it until later tonight on 106 & Park so how is it already here? Kanye leaves us guessing again haha you gotta love it. 'Ye keep doin your thang, this video was hot regardless

  12. Alex Leal [Feb13] :

    is that official? only this? i dont think soo.. i hope

  13. YayJay [Feb13] :

    Kanye leaves us guessing again haha you gotta love it. ‘Ye keep doin your thang, this video was hot regardless

    And that's what I love and adore and maybe makes me a little bit to crazy about Kanye... He's got that thing, that arogance, that giving you a finger but not imidiatly the whole hand...Just wanna say that I will accept it when Kanye puts this on his blog and says that it is the video, and when it premiers on BET, and it's like this, ya'll gotta tell me...

  14. YayJay [Feb13] :

    Cause I'm not from America and I ain't got no BET... PLEASE, MY DAY HAS BEEN SO BAD AT SCHOOL, PLEASE KANYE DON"T DO ME THIS :( I swear, don't tell me hiphop is dead, and that your creativity has gone with it...

  15. YayJay [Feb13] :

    And I like her... even though these boobs must be fake. :P Come on guys, Nas said it would be great... have hope... please

  16. throwdown [Feb13] :

    Just wanna say that I will accept it when Kanye puts this on his blog and says that it is the video, and when it premiers on BET, and it’s like this, ya’ll gotta tell me… Nas said it was great...have hope...please

    Exactly what I thought. Kanye has yet to post any video to his blog, including this one...I'm not ready to believe this is it. Plus, why would Nas say this was great? Granted I thought it was good and creative but I would think that a comment from Nas would mean the video is at least longer and more complex. We'll wait to see what shows up on BET and 'Ye's blog

  17. mr. dg [Feb13] :

    Thank god!! it can't be the whole vid i just searced kanye's blog and fond a picture that was diferent and he sas that it was de in the vid.

  18. alex [Feb13] :

    this is not the final video, remember this screenshot of the video ye posted in his blog, it showed a scene which is not in this video, so there must be another version!

  19. b14z3 [Feb13] :

    whyd u take out the ???. we still dont know if its the real video.

  20. g0ddard [Feb13] :

    Dam I thought better....

  21. Rafael [Feb13] :

    the name of the bitch in the video is...

    Kanye's EGO

  22. DAnnnny [Feb13] :

    PLEEEEEASE
    say this is not it
    its really not very good!
    i hope its a trailer so much!

  23. Matt [Feb13] :

    since this most likely isn't the full or official video and its not confirmed, you should take it down until you get the official one after 6pm|est| tonight. this video can be misleading to a lot of people.

    at least tag it with "unofficial"

    unless you can confirm the source? idk.

  24. James [Feb13] :

    Rafael (13:43:48) :

    "

    I agree. Good observation, ;D.

  25. sideshowRaheem [Feb13] :

    Rocafella.com says it's the official video so it's not a teaser. And it's brilliant! For those who don't like listen to the words and see how they match the imagery in the video. It's perfect I wouldn't change a thing.

  26. major [Feb13] :

    thanks for the post. Rita G is f*in dope..

  27. MHuber019 [Feb13] :

    The video is 2:40, while song on the CD is 3:57? This definitely ain't it.

  28. dj.napps [Feb13] :

    wtf?????????

  29. WOLSELY [Feb13] :

    LMAAOO
    I'm sorry but, wow that made me laugh styll.
    WTF??

  30. TRVS [Feb13] :

    i watched bet tonite and didnt see it? anyone know if it already played and i missed it, cause i dont think this is the official.

  31. dumbitdown0521 [Feb13] :

    dis shiit is dope....its simple but kanyes got a bigger picture and i cant wait to see it

  32. trifelife [Feb13] :

    i hear its a 3 part short film, calm down everyone.

  33. mecca femme [Feb13] :

    what .....the .....fuck....was that!!!!!!!!!!

    it better be a short film with more parts coming ..
    cuhs that was ridiculously below par

  34. yo [Feb13] :

    THe concept is crazy, you must listen to the song, in the first verse he's been treating her wrong but trying to buy stuff for her instead, thats why she burned all the clothes he bought her, then in the second verse he was trying to to apoligize to her, but she ain't buying it. That's why kanye says"i never knew she would take it THIS FAR!!!". I still would have wanted something else, but thats what the video means for anyone that cares.

  35. mew2king [Feb13] :

    this is hot. trust me, you guys dont understand it yet but you will

  36. Danny [Feb13] :

    Ummm If You Guys Recall Kanye Posted A Picture In His Blog From Flashing Lights And Its A Girl Running Down A Street So Yea Cant Wait For The Real One =]

  37. BIZZIBEE [Feb14] :

    hey i like kanye songs is dope but i was expecting more from this video but i still like it anyways. check out my songs guys http://www.myspace.com/bizzibee17

  38. BIZZIBEE [Feb14] :

    kanye is the best there is .... check out my songs guys http://www.myspace.com/bizzibee17

  39. TeeZy [Feb14] :

    im a huge Ye fan, but this is retarded

  40. Jackson [Feb14] :

    has any one else but me noticed that all of the other videos he's done for the Graduation ablum is in the video section on KanYe Universecity and yet the Flashing Ligths vid isnt up there...I mean even the Throw Some D's Freestyle Vid is up there but still no Flashign Lights, shouldnt this be telling us something????Check for your self KanYe Universecity Video Catalouge

  41. Joel [Feb14] :

    this is part one of 3 so dont be getn upset, still i reckon its sick this, cant wait for the rest

  42. Yung Yae [Feb14] :

    On top of it not being posted in the video catalouge this Flashing lights video is a bit to raunchy for it to play during the day time or even on 106 & park on BET so theres gotta be some sort of catch to it...sure the video is in his element, espically being todays controversial rapper and the vid leaves everyone guessin whether or not its the whole vid...but theres gotta be a missing link...the FCC wouldnt allow a vid of a model (Rita G) to jus strip to her clothes like that and its posted on Daytime television, during those hours BET is a family ch and so is 106 & Park...Jus wanna noe wat the catch is...

  43. april [Feb14] :

    i like the video but it is a bit too much for daytime television like they should it on TRL yesterday and TRL comes on at 3...that is a bit much but it ok

  44. JrRoc23 [Feb14] :

    This video is everything i expected

    Flashing LIghts

  45. jamidd [Feb14] :

    For real, Kanye had done multiple videos for at least one song on every album.

    Jesus walks = 3 Vids
    Heard em say = 2 vids
    Flashing Lights = ?

  46. lacnyl [Feb14] :

    What the fuck did kanye do in this video I hate the video

  47. whaa? [Feb14] :

    uhhh...whaaa? Ok i'm down with artistic expression hell I love a lot of avantguard stuff but this...uh ???? Hopefully there are follow up parts

  48. Mike [Feb14] :

    this video symbolizes the death of the old, cocky, (whatever adjective you want) kanye west while part two will show the new side of kanye west...

  49. ashman [Feb14] :

    i didnt see the flashing lights video on BET this wendsday...i saw the one that was posted on kanyeuniversity...i think that the video is good.. it is different then what everyone expected but in the same breath its expected of kanye to do something that is totally aginst the grain. the video has a deeper meaning then what it is putting off. i think i may have figured it out.. but its like ye said in Spin mag..if u say something it better be the most powerful thing(parapharased)

  50. HipHopHistorian [Feb14] :

    Woah....This is fuckin' serious...If this isn't a trailer, is there a prelude to all of this...I love the video don't get me wrong. I just wanna know what did 'Ye do to piss off this broad. I know she was more into "shoe and cars" instead of "shooting stars". But 'Ye what did you do to do to her?!!!

    "As I recall I know you love to show off, but I never thought you would take it this far, What do I know...What do I know?"-Dwele (Flashing Lights)

  51. Fly [Feb15] :

    For tha people who are saying there's a part 2 and 3, how can there be when he just got shoveled to death? lol

  52. Sex Apple (Sgott) [Feb15] :

    For tha people who are saying there’s a part 2 and 3, how can there be when he just got shoveled to death? lol

    A prequel?

    The video Looks good, altho it's NOT what I expected.

  53. Go! [Feb15] :

    I underdtand now... She was the girl in the song... It was meant to be about what KanYe saw before he died im guessin... the flashing lights on the car... She was his girl... he cheated on her... told the story in the begining and started pleading with her in the end... the second verse is him tellin her anything she wants to hear... "Like Martin wit no Gena... You know you cant Rome without Ceasar..." And its just not gonna work... He got caught by the paparazi... she saw him in photos with a girl... "Damn! these niggas got me... I hate these niggas more than the Nazi's..." Flashing Lights is dope... a scary story... a shocking video... i mean... wow... a shovel?

  54. HipHopHistorian [Feb15] :

    So the song about jealously and cheating...but it could be a metaphor for Kanye's ego it being killed by a metaphorically bitch name "fame".

    Kanye, if you're reading this, I wanna see more!
