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 :-D

I love Kanye and his creativity!!

#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.

13.

WOW!!! Just what our kids need to see. I can’t believe he did a video without him in it.

16.

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

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.

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!!!

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.

42.

One_And_Only

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

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.

43.

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

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!

Video for the Flashing Lights Remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40G8sbl6o9c

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>

@ #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

59.

MIC SORC

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

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.

60.

Elle (and HATING it!)

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

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…

61.

MR MR

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

are any of these people commenting listening to the song? Check the lyrics and then this teaser makes sense…

Ok people this isn’t the whole video! We’re going to get more! Kanye is not leaving us hanging like this!

I applaud Kanye for always bringing something new to Hip Hop videos.

Yea this video plus Ashanti’s video - kinda crazy but, at least we’re getting some storylines out of videos again.

First let me say it’s my birthday and yes I’m older than most on this site. But still It’s my Birthday,It’s my birthday!

Now on with it….

I”m not mad at the “teaser” at all! Yeah it’s not something you can readily wrap your brain around,why do we all just want things to be so,so plain and simple ALL THE TIME-WOW!

This is one of my favorite songs on the CD-BTW

Now the model-Now she is what I would (or maybe what some men would refer to as a stallion) I’m not hating,because if I were a few inches taller and had some much bigger breasts ,then she would be my body double! LOL!

But will this be a 106 and Park premiere video or just a BET network premiere? I don’t want to miss this one.

Happy birthday to me!

65.

southern_queen

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

On this day,and yes my birthday again-Tupac released is classic double CD “All Eyez On Me”!

I like to think that CD was gift NOT just for me,but for everybody- I miss Pac.

The video seems interesting and I’m understanding the concept. I bet they’ll cut most of her body out when the video airs because its a lil risque but fabulous.

71.

Im the only polar bear up in this bitch

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

It was kinda weird to be watchin her flesh jiggle in slow motion, i mean i kno she’s thick, but damn! do they gotta slow it down like dat & do we have to watch that 4 about 5 minutes?

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

I agree with Tianna. At least we have some kinda story line instead of a screen full of booty and party scenes….lol

I guess I’ll have to force myself to watch 106th & Park to see the whole thing, because now I want to see the rest.

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.

80.

Dyvine

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 /

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

81.

UM...I GUESS

84.

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

85.

Nothing But Love

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.

conasto

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
