Kanye West, Grammy Awards: Will the Rapper Storm the Stage?
Kanye West is many things, but gracious is not one of them. In fact, the only things more entertaining than his beguilingly confessional rap songs are the hissy fits he's been known to throw at awards show. Given that he stands to lose -- or ...

I love Kanye!!!
Isn’t he kinda late with this video? I am already tired of hearing this song on the radio.
wow.um odd
kinda weird video…lol
This sh!t looks stupid!?!?!? Is this the whole video???????
My jam is “Champion” can we get a video for that ‘Ye?
well maybe not LOL, but anyway i like the video.
Damn that was weird, I like the song though !!
WTF?!! i don’t quite get this video…i guess i have to watch it again. but damn, she got him with that shovel! it was different and caught my attention but it was also kinda …weird.
WOOOOOOOOOOWWWW is all I can say!!!
But on his blog, he posted a picture of a female running, so I’m guessing that what we’re seeing here is not the entire video???
I had a feeling he was goin to go in a different direction with this video and even after reading the review of it from mtv.com the day after the grammy’s (He premiered it at a Grammy after-party) I am still shocked….in a good way
I love Kanye and his creativity!!
Love the song… Video is weird…
Well i really did not want to see all that rear but i love the song. wonder what the rest of the video is like
#10, yea I don’t think this is the whole thing. I believe its airing on BET (the full length video)
when it does, we will edit this post of course. But I saw the teaser and was like “ummmm WOW” lol.
LOL!!!! Team YE’ ALL DAMN DAY!!! I like the fact that he didn’t have some toothpick framed model….THAT CHICK EATS CARBS!!! Nice Ye’
I know the whole video will be creative and interest….Ye never disappoints
WTF!! I guess he’s trying to be innovative. Not feeling this.
WOW!!! Just what our kids need to see. I can’t believe he did a video without him in it.
yep, this will surely have everyone raising their eyebrows like “WTF JUST HAPPENED???!!!”
The concept of the song is a man who left his lover to pursue his love of “Flahing lights” in other words, fame (I know its been a while sweetheart/ we hardly talk/ I was doing my thing/ I know I was fowl baby/…lately you’ve been all on my brain)
I guess that’s her way of sayin “You should’ve never left ASSHOLE!!” lol
Go Kanye…..if you listen to the song you can kind of get the logistics of the video.
I mad! I wanted to direct this video. He’s so creative! LOVE IT!
how come it ain’t no blood anywhere on the shovel once she stabs him or blood squirting?
i promise i’m not morbid, but i just notice little shit like that.
I THINK I’M GOING TO LIKE THIS…..I’D LIKE TO SEE KANYE W/ TAPE OVER HIS MOUTH MORE OFTEN…..SERIOUSLY, THIS SEEMS LIKE IT’S GOING TO BE CAPTIVATING!!!!
that was just downright scary
is he serious with that video? that has to be a joke…the real one is coming later.
leg, breasts, trunk, shovel, and all
Not sure what kanye was trying to get at with this video. I guess we will have to see once the full length video surfaces. I was kinda expecting something different considering the title of the song. The song is club banger so i was hoping he would have made a video along the lines of that. I mean that seemed like the logical direction to go. Anyway i am fan of kanye so i doesn’t matter what he puts out to tell you the truth but i felt he could have went in different direction to bring more attention to the song. Flashing Light is probably the best song on the Graduation aside from “I Wonder”, “Champion”, ” Good Morning” and “The Glory”. I guess we have to wait d see!!! Keep doing your thing Ye!!!
Thanks for clearing that up TIANNA!
WOW
i can dig it. and the girl is thick so i aint mad at him. Thank you Kanye. I love you.
Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wowwwwwwwwww
idk what to think…at first i thought homegirl was just gon be prancing around like dat,but when she opened the trunk and start clowing im like DAMN its lik dat?????? i wanna see the whole thing now,dont play us like that lol
Well, at least the song is hot. Never was a fan of any of Kanye’s videos.
that was the weirdest shit I have seen all day. i love kanye, but wtf?
WTF?! Lol that was strange (I cringed wen she jabbed him with the shovel) but I cnt wait to see the rest, I guess this was just a tease…I think MTV’s about to premiere the video
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn! She was Jiggling!LMAO! I’mma like this video!
I don’t know what to think…I’m feelin’ uncomfortable after watching the video..
Too violent. And all that flesh!!!!! too much ass, too much breast.This video shouldn’t be on TV before 10pm lol
when she stabbed him i got a little sick.
it’s different, and i know his mom died during the shoot…..
but damn, could you not finsh the video!?
oh and too much skin!
she got too much to be walking in slow motion.
What the Hell!
This video and that Ashanti video are way to morbid!
Yes, that girl is thick! Go head Kanye! LOL at the person that said she eats carbs.
I was mad at the video at first like “WTF is this tramp doing?” but then when I saw she had him hemmed up in the trunk I all of a sudden got interested again!! Can’t wait for the full length!!
thank you lip gloss addict you helped me understand. see thats why you gotta listen to the words of the song sometimes
I don’t think the video is in it’s entirety. I think Kanye’s pulling a teaser on us. Especially considering that he likes to “show off”, I’m quite sure when he drops the vid on Friday, that it will actually be worth it. Go Kanye, Go. I actually like this song and I was waiting for the longest for the video.
I love the song but the video a no go. I would have preferred for the song to get played rather than bring down the song with a video that doesn’t do the song justice.
Hmm..i don’t understand this clip of the video. The model has a nice body, but she has more breasts than ass. And she is super tall in a “manly” way. That girl should be an American Gladiator….lol!!!!! Y’all should check the music video to the Flashing Lights remix, by this artist. .I like the remix better than the original sound, just about!

What’s up with these videos of people almost appearing sadistic!!! I pray that folks don’t start believing that this is the way to love someone!!!! I know that it is a video. But to see Ashanti this morning and then see this one this afternood… this is a bit muuuch!!! Both songs are rocking, but I can not get with the concepts of this video or Ashanti’s. Come again… And baby girl with the fake boobs Naaa>
I love Kanye to death but what was that?? LOL
I thought it was HAWT!
Makes me want to pull out my juicy fox fur, put on some thigh highs, heels, lace panties and bra and step up on somebody’s doorstep, like “what do I knooooooooowwwwww”
What the fuck was that bullshit?
ummmmmmmmmm interesting…………
I love Kanye, God knows I do, but…….WTF???!!!!!!
it looks a bit freaky though..Is Homey West trying to foretell his Death, I wouldnt recommend that..It didnt pan out too well for Tupac
Im mad they used a damn Ford Mustang…WTF
Im mad at the whole video..I know the whole words to the song..and the shit just don’t add up.
What was she doing with the Lighter? I’m all confused
Kanye, Ms. Cleo, Ms. Sylvia SOMEBODY please get ta explaining..
BTW~ I love me some Kanye, I lost my momma to and so feel his pain..=(
Speaking of childs play…how much jail time did “The Game” get?
Can’t view it but LMFAO @ DDS!!!
well well……
(thats all i got)
I LOVE THIS SONG, ITS LIKE MY ANTHEM LOL!
@52 The Game got 2months he will turn himself in any day now.
MAD ABOUT IT!…All this time and Kanye did this?…i really love this song.. .i expected something better than this
@ #40 ur welcome! Good to know that I cleared that up for even one person
People just assume that this song is ONLY a club-bannger with no real message to it, but if they actually payed attention to the lyrics they would see that the video makes perfect sense.
Great song +Great video+ Creativity= Kanye West
Thats its? that was just one long a$$ victoria secret advertisement. shorty was banging for real, but the video was kinda corny. real amateur, son. I mean, kanye lucky that the last chick he saw before he got shoveled to death, but damn, i couldve easily made a better video. mines wouldve been a bunch of naked chicks with flashlights hanging from their nipples, maybe a space ship or two, couple of big mascot teddy bears dressed up as cops pulling people over and beating them with flashlights. ya know. something like that.
IS THAT KELIS’S VOICE???
It’s innovative and a visual good, like all Kanye’s videos… The model has a lot of body, huh? Kanye’s got a thing for thick girls…his girl isn’t though, go figure! I read on a blog once that guys want to have sex with thick girls but never make girlfriends of them…hmmm I guess being a man’s fantasy is flattering enough, who needs to be hooked at his side…
