Spike Jonze and Kanye directed it so yeah Spike Jonze videos are very left field but they somehow make sense when you think about it. Kanye is just teasing everyone with this video it’s 3 parts so hey we’ll just have to see

Looks interesting. I can’t wait to see what led up to the mountain massacre. I know she was angry about him leaving her or whatever, but I’d like to see how he even got in the trunk in the first place. I look forward to the full length version

kanye shoulda jumped out the car fought back or something! I don’t know why you all are making a big deal about the actress in the video being thick. All the girls in hip hop videos look like that!

Love that artistic shit that he does. Always wanted a “deep” hip-hop artist to make it mainstream. The video with the overtone of murder, sex, and scandal is perfect. For the people that want to see another club setting please refer to every video on BET and MTV for your “fix.” If you are worrying about your kids seeing it, then block BET and MTV from your TV, and quickly proceed to let your kids remain in that closet yall’ got them locked in.

OK, Common and Kanye with the “teaser” videos…. YOU DOING TOO MUCH!
Homegirl stacked…. you see her “girls” bopping on the walk back to the car? Damn, she stout!
This may be a lil too graphic for me though…. that shovel scene was a bit much!

No, all the video girls don’t look like that. Half of those girls in the videos have fake breasts and asses or are thin as hell, and it is more then evident that the girl in Kanyes video is all natural. I have to agree that she deserves her props for keeping the thickness where it counts. The girl is bad, you can’t hate on that. And did A.K.A New Yorker really go as far as to find out the girls real hieght because people said she was tall? lmao! Is it that serious? Lets get over it now. Dang, people cant even give people props on this site without other people questioning it, damn shame.

I was feeling the video until he said the “N” word. I thought we were past that.
I guess we can’t be anymore creative than that.
What a loser.

At first I thought it was another ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing”-type video, but when she got out of her coat and started to light it. I felt this is going somewhere, bcuz I watch CSI alot. The shovel part made me cringe a little. What really got me was that we witniss this murder that the lyrics practically told us. If another video/song was to show what lead up to this would be ‘Drunken Hot Girls”, my opinon. I love the video, something new and there be should be more like this.

hey #24 (not gettin smart with you) but just because its a club banger and the song is called flashing lights–doesnt mean ” people dancing at a club or chicks everywhere”…you have to listen to what he is saying. Its obvious that girl was pissed at Ye because he cheated on him–thats where” flashing lights come in”, he even says” then i got snap by the poporazzi(can spell) so u just have to listen and People that is the whole video!! Its already on TV–thats it, Kanye probably come out with the rest but then again he might justhave us hangin like he do now—-Kanye and Spike Jonze did a damn good job on this video–no one has videos like this–this video was something people dont suspect–HOT YE!

This video is H.A.M.!! Artistic?? Where?? You got a fat chick with a shovel, you tied up in the trunk and get jabbed with the shovel. WTF??? I was thinking that maybe this is a result of his mother passing and he is just in a dark place at the moment. He definitely needs to take time off to mourn and stop with this already. Sometimes, when we are in a certain place it’s best to lay low and stop working for a minute.
