Check out this recently released video of Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights” featuring Dwele. This video is totally different from previous versions, and gives more of a spooky story. Its pretty cool, but I favor the first video better.
“Flashing Lights” is the third single off of Kanye’s album Graduation, which is in stores now.
This i the third one I’ve seen. I appreciate Kanye’s artistic efforts.
FUCKING AWESOME! A FRESH BREATH OF AIR COMPARED TO ALL OF THESE OTHER BULLSHIT ASS VIDEOS SHOWING THE SAME OLD SHIT!
It’s the 4th single. Good Life was the third.
This version is so dope. I love the approach he and hte director took. Its dark and twisted. Its mad creative. And it makes your skin crawl just a little.

He should’ve expanded on the first video. He could’ve shown the story leading up to the trunk scene.
Everytime I see a video version of this song there are parts I like and dont like. For this video I like the fact that he incorporates “flashing lights” into the video. Also, I like the fact that he tells more of a story. However, I feel this is really grusome and would prefer something more lighthearted.
kanye is a genius.

I don’t like videos that show witchcraft or vampires or any of those dark things. Therefore I really hated it. It was well done but the theme was corny. And DAMN Ye, why isn’t Dwele in any of your videos?
He is a true artistic that is passionate about his work, which is why he “spazzes” as people say. He is a rare artist that is not only passionate about his music, but he has a vision for his music & has just as much passion for the visual element to his music.
I wonder how many total video versions there are?
This Video was AMAZING. People may hate on it but very rarely do I ever get captivated enough by a video to watch it in its entirety…
Is their any reason why Kanye ha released 3 different videos 4 1 song on each album? Im a big fan of Kanye but I would have prefered he released a new video 4 a different song
I actually like it. TOP 20 BABY
* WOW!
What is there to say? Kanye definitely has one creative mind, I admire his creativity though. Very different than what you mostly seen in black artists music videos!
Three videos and not one makes much sense (to us, at least). But it’s Kanye, you know, and he can do it and we love him for that. The man’s a creative genius.
I like how he sot three different videos though this one went over my head…I prefer the first one too just because of the eye candy, go figure
shot not sot
wait was the concept for the second video??
this videos bananas!
so effin dope, sort of reminds me of the “Clue” novels and boardgame i would play as a kid. So genius!
liked this version the best! the other ones are still crazy though!
buh i fuckin love this and the third
time to peep the second
This is the third video I’ve seen for this song, and honestly….I like this one the least. Still, I respect Kanye and his ability to remain fresh and original. Other artists should take notes.
ooo wow i luv kanye but i guess im not that smart so im kind of confused the maid chick pushed kanye or ……… he was framed cause the guy said i know he did it and the 2 white guys were killed before he was smh i dont know but see only kanye could intrigue me lol fat joe sure as hell didnt have me askin any questions!!! lmao
how talented he just gives more and more go kanye its your birthday
He is definitely appealing to a more cross over audience.
I like the concept of the video. It’s really different. It did take my attention away from the song. I think he was really trying to go in a different direction with this video. In which I love, but I think I would of liked it better if this was the first video being that this one has nothing to do with the first one. To me it looks like he’s a lil lost in what to do. It kinda left me not knowing to much of what to think lol. it’s kool though.
I love Kanye with all that is in me (that’s my dude!!) but I REALLY…DON’T….GET IT!!
Hotness, cosign with #2.
Bravo Bravo
Love the video it made me sit here and wonder what was next and feel like after I watch a couple more times I see something different every time and get a differrent view point of what it means.
I would love for Kanye to tell us what his inspiration for it is and what it means but I tell myself no I think it would ruin the whole point lol
i LOVED the first video….the second the only thing hot was the flash photography…this wasn’t hot until the end when they turned the camera so that he was falling up and not down…pretty hot
3 versions and no dwele? damn son
I like Kanyes Creativity… This is his 4th right Cuz it was good life homecoming and stronger… I thought this was released alrdy cuz they had remixes 2 it n everythng!
I can always count on Kanye to come up with something different! 2 thumbs up!
Hello concreteloop, can you do reseach and see what’s the deal with Kanye, I think he going through some transition and I not sure i understand the videos and the purpose for the songs. Even though they are all DOPE and by the way the GLOW in the DARK tour is the BEST Rap tour in a long time. This dude performed 1.5hrs non stop with no hype man and a full on concert from beginning to end. DOPE!!! I guess he’s trying to say something but the creativity is make a lot of people lost but at least he does have it!!! I would love for him and Andre 3000 to do something it would be Earth Shattering.
3 versions??? where can I see the the second or third version?
Coolness..
I like this version alot…and it does fit better with the song..lyrically as well as the mood and vibe. Kanye is soo dope..i dnt care wut n e body says..the man is talented.
Great Video!!! where is Dwele?
all black men need to start to think outside the box and kanye is doing it right now not hood mentality all the time.by the way the music is fresh and very creative twist on it.
Oookey? I liked it, I just can’t wait to read wtf all of it was about! had my face lookin lik huh? lol
wow, an actual plot.
big step up from the first one…
very creative video, but i think i’m missing some of the story….still love this man though haha
i kinda like this one the most simply because its like a short film i wish he woulda released this on e it would have been gettin some play on bet but the first one is tha closest to the story in tha song concept
I think this was supposed to be the original video Kanye was gonna put out from late last year before his mom died…at least that’s what the screen cap from that time on his website suggests
Kanye won’t explain the point of these videos. It’s out job as the audience to draw our own conclusions. Come on that is one the very many things I love about art we take to interpret. Love the videos kanye!
THIS IS HIS FOURTH SINGLE STRONGER, CANT TELL ME NOTHING, GOOD LIFE, AND THIS
A little tired of the obsession with death and murder that two of the three videos for this song have. Kills the entire mood of the song!
Personally he’s now killed the experience I had enjoying the actual track! I’ll probably never hear it the same because after three videos he definetly doesn’t want to convey the picture most folks had hoped to see!
He should’ve put out that animated video for “Good Morning” ! At least there was a synergy in concept with the visual and auditory experience!
Ah well. Guess you can’t please everybody!
This was another cool pic from Ye. On his blog in Jan., he mentioned that he went to Denmark to make this video and I think this was the original video for the song. Here’s the blog entry from Ye:
http://www.kanyeuniversec...0&em3161=&em3281=
the video is stupid
Damn Ye, can we get a happy video with less death? I like Kanye but he has lost his mind with these videos.
I agree Angel, the first video was better. With the second video i was completely lost and bored…
Thats ol girl from American Next Top Model Katlyn
Video is sick…..
am i the only one confused? i guess its his song and his vision. artistic license at its best! love kanye!
This is the third version I’ve seen too and I liked the second one I saw the best, the one with the one model looking girl and its a video of her but it’s shown in like stillshots put together.. I really liked the creativity within the simplicity of it.
Dang this was so crazy. I really like this version and the second one. Kanye West always come out with the best videos.
he’s one of the few artists that don’t just “stand in front of a car, throwing money, showing jewelry” and call it a rap video…he really goes beyond.
Love is blind therefore i am blind to anything bad that kanye does,i think anything he puts his hands on is GENIUS AND HAWT!!!! i just love him
i definitley saw the storyline of the song more in the first video then in the secord or this one but i like this one better because its longer…..and it actually pulls some sort of emotion out of you (moreso the creeps lol)
I LOVE YOU KANYE!!
i guess i should say bravo to the director lol i still think all 3 videos where cool it sure got me thinking lol
I really love Kanye and I adore this video. I like how he’s not afraid to try different things, it’s about time we see something different in the music game. At first I was scared as hell, I am NOT a fan of darkness!!
**Does The Stranger come out today?
kanye is a joke…some of his videos are very disturbing…..always showin half naked azz women or women titties and asses….like that video all falls down video, what was the point of watchin stacey dash run around in a dress??????..hes a joke to me. Why do kids and people period, need to watch a video with a woman big azz and breast hanging out and then she attempts to murder him naked? what audience is he addressin his videos to? im sick of these triflen videos bein aired on television….and ppl wonder why young kids are gettin pregnant faster and younger, and why 8 9 and 11yr.old boys are already thinkin about and wantin to have sex…because everywhere they turn in AMERICA its being glorified but the negative consequences stay in the dark. only brought to light when its caught.
nut case……………….
