♫ Kanye West feat. Dwele – Flashing Lights

Kanye West is releasing “Flashing Lights” as the 4th single from the highly successful and acclaimed album, Graduation. In our exclusive interview with Kanye West (check that out, if you haven’t), he reveals to us that “Flashing Lights” is one of his favorites from the album. He actually says it’s the “coolest song” on the album, which I don’t think many can deny. It’s something about it that gets everyone moving when it comes on, because I think people just love the way it feels when you heard those progressing chords at the beginning.

The party goes wild when the beat drops.

Make sure you go show Kanye some love on his MySpace, and if you haven’t already, snag yourself a copy of Graduation, in stores now!

  13. Non Bias Commentator

    Kanye West is indeed a lyrical and musical genius and in spite of his public outbursts he has the talent to back it up. That he knows which is why it amazes me how easily he was able to come back on top, again. Not that he EVER fell off In the first place, but he really gives you a reason to continue to be an advocate of rap music, let alone modern music all together. I can definitely appreciate an artist; not many people can call them selves artist. And for all of you who a like you don’t know, stop shit spewing and pick up a dictionary. As for this song the beat is a multiple of orgasmic beats, I got chills and goose bumps that how hard he spits. It’s coordinated, it makes sense, and there is substance even though the topic is universally talked about. What an intelligible guy! He is one of the few “rappers” (for popular saying sake) that can articulate rap music, and make it appealing to all. Love you Kanye, I bought the album!

  14. Damn this song is in TEXAS already hell I need to move from austin to houston cuz it aint here yet!

    Kanye you have fans in TEXAS!!!!!!!

  15. Lady T

    YES omg i was hopin this would be the next single…good look kanye!

  16. G-Roc

    This is def a banger. One of my fav’s of the album.

    The Clipse killed this beat too. Instant classic “Flashing Lights”

  17. THE RHYTHM OF ANGER

    i think kanye and his camp are picking the right singles to drop off his album. argubly graduation is his best album, and has a string of singles to support it.
    kanyes the shit.

  18. PoloRL

    This is my favorite track of the YEAR!!! Excellent job Yeezy!!!

  19. This is the best song from the Cd!!!

    I was soooo happy when I heard it on the radio this afternoon!

  20. Why is everyone saying “Ye” instead of “him”? Am i missin something? Anywayz, i don’t usually like Kanye, but i must admit, i’m impressed.

  21. YES!!! Can’t wait for the video!!! I was hoping that it would be between this song and “Champion” because those are my favorites!!!

  22. Sugar

    I DO love this song!!! It was my fav. from the jump. Dwele is sounding great as always on the hook (yall need 2 check him out if u didnt already know)
    Something about this reminds me of the street scene from The WIZ. Its great!

  23. weezy.jr

    After reading every comment, i realized about 80% requested different songs on the album to be potential singles. This album is a classic but because Kayne’s style is not very parallel with “gangsta” rap we are all embarrassed to play and support. He is one of the Greatest HipHop artist ever. He can rap his ass of too. Listen to the Glory when he went off.

    Thanks Mr West. Thanks for saving Hiphop. Carter III bringing the other side of Rap.

    Kanye and Wayne are undeniably the future of hiphop.

    God Bless hiphop.

  24. Hell, the whole album could be released. Say what you want bout Kanye, he makes good music!

  25. You can’t tell Ye nothing!!!!

    The album is HOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I wish “I wonder” was a single, that song is real talk. It’s all good though.

    I’m glad to see no negative comments. Kanye is a true artist!!!!!

  26. P.S

    omg, awesome song. love the cover too. murakami is so talented

  27. Oh Yeah Houston has mad respect for ya(Kanye)!!!!

  28. Nikki Deevah

    I am soooooooooooooooo Happy… this is my favorite track from the album I didnt think he was going to do it…

  29. TorontoGirl

    I definately this this was a good marketing move. Although Kanye pretty much powerhoused already, he will definately keep the sales rolling in with this one. I’m almost 100% sure he has crossed over into almost every market. Thoughts on the track??? Been MY banger since September 11th! But I really love I Wonder. I wish he would do one of those dual video things and put I wonder at the end or the beginning of the Flashing Lights Video. Dwele – SO AMAZING, wow I’m still on that dude too.

  30. JerseyBred

    That’s my joint!

  31. krc3x

    I’m so happy! I LOVE this song so much, I feel like no matter what’s going on, when this song comes on, everybody just comes together and gets in the BEST mood.

  36. darealwifey

    I love this song. I’m glad he’s releasing this one.

  37. SweetThang729

    Yes I was hoping he would

  38. Miss M.

    It’s okay, but definitely nothing to get all excited about! It seems like this site caters to people they like rather than actual good music! Not hating on Kanye, but this song isn’t very good! Kind of good, but I’ve heard better and I’ve heard a lot of other artists with the same exact vibe, especially in R & B! Definitely catering to Kanye over here, but you’re entitled to your opinions!

  39. TBYRDSWIFEY

    This is my favorite song off of Graduation.

  40. katie

    this song is dope! gets my blood flowing, and makes me feel so good.

  41. Kenny

  42. Devonna

    Yeah, I love Kanye but….DWELE is dope! I love him more!

  43. Devonna

    Yeah, I love Kanye but….DWELE is dope! I love him more!

  44. Bruce

    This song is my favorite song next to ” My Way “, ” The Good, the Bad, the Ugly ” and the rest of the top Kanye West songs that I have heard.

    I love this song so much, that I put it on repeat on my MP3 when I go to sleep every night.

  45. BCBrowni
