I like this video!! It makes perfect sense w/the lyrics. That model is baaaaaad!!! It was refreshing to see a chick in a video whose body looks like mine. Whether her boobs are real or fake, it was nice seeing something familiar. Everyone can’t be a Big Booty Judy!! LOL! Hate to say it, but I was dying laughing when she got him w/that shovel!!

…Why is it that no matter what the topic people who visit this blog act like their allergic to reading. I’m pretty sure it says “this is a clip”

It won’t kill you all to read past the headlines if a videos involved with the post. It won’t kill any of you and It saves you the trouble of looking stupid in the coment section, damn.

With that said, I love the video, It seems like it’s going to have some kind of woman scorned theme to it, Which I know that ashanti stole for her video becuase its too big of a coincidence, and doesn’t pull it off as well.

I think alot people say its weird because u everybody get something different from this song. I know I didn’t vision a video like this. I gotta see the whole thing to make a finally ya or na on it. That Rita G chick is right good looking out on the super slow-mo

U CAN HATE ME NOW!

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

I think the video corresoponds with the concept of the song I think another poster explained that the women resented kanye’s lust of the “Flashing Lights” over her, so I dont know how hard that is to figure out..anyway this is supposed to be a teaser or a clip or something of the full length video , heard that shes gonna have him all tied up and torturing him and all…LUV IT , and besides Spike Jones co-directed this so of course it is gonna be a little bit different that your usual club-car-and booty videos, I luv his work

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

I love the song but seriously what was that???? i dont understand that video one bit

#1 why was she burning her coat??
#2 why did she kill kanye???

IDK im hella confused!!!! i was expecting something somewhat similar to the Good Life video somethin with strobe lights, special effects and FLASHING LIGHTS but ah well never mind he might do another version like he did with Jesus Walks.

95.

Noelle Alexandrea Teague

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

SO I WENT TO ROCAFELLA.COM LOOKING FOR JAY-Z TICKETS FOR THE UPCOMING TOUR and saw flashing lights… is the concept like that?? is he being killed?? is he tired of all the nonsense he put out or does he just wanna end it?? does he want his ex-girl back?? he all in the back wrapped up… why is she naked?? who is she..is that how alexis treats him, if so thats really really sad…

96.

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

Well its about time Kanye! I know he would have rathered to put this single out with the video, instead of waiting months later. I would have been even more crazy!

But im lovin the video concept, i cant remember the last time a video caught me off guard like that.

consign with #19, where is the blood on the shovel???? lol

*scratches head*….interesting. I have to say that I can’t wait to see this video now. Hate him or love him, Kanye puts a lot of passion into his work for his fans, I love that.

And I don’t care what nobody says….game recognizes game….and thats a bad @ss chick right there in that video. And i’m a strait female saying this. LOL! That chick was like 6′ ft tall with the measurements that are OFFICIAL. I’m not mad at her at all….let me go get my damn gym bag. LMAO!!

Concreteloop, why did you guys post a [basically] porno site (site for Rita G). Children come on this site, as well as those who just don’t want to see that stuff (I’M ON A PUBLIC COMPUTER!!!).
Next time a warning would be nice.

Interesting. I always expect something out of the norm for Kanye, and he didn’t disappoint here. Probably not for afterschool viewing, but it does have artistic merit. He was great at the Grammys.

yeah, most are thick (though Vida isn’t) but this girl has some sort of vintage 80s thing going on with her…She’s really really hot…much hotter than Ford, Vida, and even Angel Lola Luv. Plus, her proportions are more attractive…not just a fat butt or big butt and thighs stuck to a small frame like trina. She’s like an exagerrated model…like the Barbi Twins, remember them? Just gorgeous.

114.

Not feeling it and he should have gotten a better model … That one was walkin like that shovel was stuck up her bum.

I’m sorry, but if you don’t understand the *teaser* for this video then you just might be functionally retarded. No offense.

How does anyone who has listened to the song not understand the concept for the video?

Kanye cheated on her and then she took it too far i.e. she kidnapped him and then killed him.

Pay attention people! I’m shocked that damn near 75% of you don’t get it.

Like, I got a headache reading the replies. I pray to God that most of you are teenagers. If you are then at least you have kinda sorta have an excuse.

119.

LMAO @ THIS POST

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

Yeah…I have to co-sign @ #114. Vida (who’s face isn’t that great at all, LOL), Ford and whoever else are cool for what they are I guess, but those chicks are BIRDS compared to that female in that video. Like I said, that woman looked like 6 ft. tall. She was very exagerrated in a good way. Where do they find these GLAMAZON woman at? She looked like she was from another planet. LOL!! Some of those other video woman are cute/decent girls playing dress up…not on this chicks level. I’m sorry, i’m just keeping it real.

what the?! I know Kayne’s unique and all but damn, that was just crazy. Should have been a disclaimer on that video. I can’t stand watching death/violence/sad endings (I have a weak stomach).

this song is ok, but the video is a piece of shit period, no matter what any kanye west dickrider says, the video is shitty, this is the whole video, for yall people thinking its more to it, thats it, nor is it creative

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

DONT LIKE IT AND I CANT BELIEVE, YOU PEOPLE ARE LYING TO YOURSELF, BY SAYING YOU DO, IM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS A KANYE FAN, THIS VIDEO IS NOT CREATIVE AT ALL, IF YOU CALL HAVING SOMEONE WALKING AROUND THROUGH MOST OF THE VIDEO, CREATIVE, THAN YALL MUST HAVE A DULL LIFE

FLASHING LIGHTS WAS ONE OF MY TOP 3 SONGS FROM THAT ALBUM, BUT THIS IS THE WORST KANYE VIDEO EVER

126.

ct readers are dumbasses

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

@ big ez, concreteloop don’t know what this is, its the real thing obviously, cuz they disappointed in the video their own damn self, just like me and alot of people

and i c/s ms. mizzy, alot of these people are lying to themselves, its the real video, and its not creative, i love the song to, but that don’t make the video any better, its a dumb video

127.

Ummm

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

what kind of DUMB ass shit was this? Can I get the 3 seconds of my life back? this vid was a piece of dog shit.

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

THIS VIDEO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONCEPT OF THE SONG!! IM THINKING IMA SEE SOME RETRO/FUTURISTIC TYPE STUFF..WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!? THE SONG IS HOT…BUT THE SONG IS GETTIN QUITE OLD..BUT ILL STILL ROCK TO IT…

130.

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

Disturbing as hell!!! Thank goodness that this clip was taken out of context of the full video, because this is some homicidal shiznit. Don’t get me wrong, I dig the whole Basic Instinct theme with the femme fatale showing the boys whatz really good (i.e. Ashanti’s new video, which is hawt), but this clip was as crazy as a three-legged dog, particularly the shovel scene…but Kanye is always abstract yet on-point with his videos, so I can’t wait for the full video!!!

131.

I like this music video. I think West has a voice like honey and a breathtakingly broad musical palette. It reminds me of his album “Graduation” — the Best Rap Album in The Grammy. I think Graduation sums up the qualities that made West a star — smart sampling, funny pitched-up vocals, a new found maturity, sagacious rapping and a finely attuned ear for infectious beats and rhythms: dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=83376&ru=279 , There are also a couple of new ingredients: steely, electro synths from Daft Punk on “Stronger” and Caribbean lilts on “Good Life”. LoL! Indeed a genius!

@113. i get the whole amazon thing. i understand now i guess but i saw her photos and her face was not great imo. melyssa ford beats her face-wise. and she’s actually not that tall, she’s 5′7″. i have friends at that height and they’re taller than me but they’re not fashion model tall

the female vocalist name is: CONNIE MITCHELL {some one asked who sings on the track} and they thought it was Kelis. The CD liner notes list;( the addtional vocals)Connie Mitchell,hope that helps! But she does sounds like KELIS!

Okay did ol’ girl need to be assed out the whole video???Nice ass but not for T.V. and it’s kinda whack I was expecting flashing lights like in the “Stronger” video I really do feel jipped and I didn’t watch long enough to see if Dwele was in the video…Is he??

141.

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

It is just the teaser.. the picture that he showed on his site has nothing to do with this scene.. there are 3 parts doubt if you can.. but ye’ aint stupid he no wat he doin.. its creative.. im happy it aint a club scene.. its creative

142.

Thursday, February 14, 2008 /

The ASS alone makes dis video an instant classic. Hip hop niccas need to take note, make a statement other than ignorance when u making ur videos. The videos from Common and Ye, even if u don’t like em, u got to admit are saying something and that is why they are artists and other rap folk are jus niccas dat rhyme good.

I actually think the teaser so far is kinda brilliant. It’s a little too risque in the beginning, but I’m sure some of it will be edited. I also commend him for trying to be creative and actually follow the lyrics to this song. Not too many artists do that these days. They do the same old thing. I like to see artists step outside the box and do something fresh. So big ups to Kanye on this teaser clip. Hopefully the full vid will be dope.

Ok obviosly it’s not the final product and just a preview because the song doesn’t even finish, I like it we are so use to girls, cars and bling in videos that we seem to not like different stuff. It’s creative, I can’t wait for him to come to OKC on tour
