Another Flashing Lights Video?
As we all know, Kanye is a fan of making multiple alternate videos to some of his singles (this guy got money to spend). Just Like The "Jesus Walks" trilogy, here spawns the third video for Kanye's latest single "Flashing Lights". The videos seem to be confusing but pleasing Kanye fans at the same time. I didn't cover the second video but its the most literal, sensible one. The first video with Rita G doing a slow motion act in nothing but some lingerie, directed by Spike Jonze, left me asking a million questions.
This third installment is more of a horror flick/mystery film with the classic unusual girl and the who-did-it? death after the lights cut back on. The song is supposed to describe the down side of fame and materialism. Its hard to see that judging by what the videos illustrate.
I might be the only one but everyday I'm becoming less and less a Kanye West fan. I used to follow his work a lot but now I think that the money is getting to his head. If you disagree then compare his old work to what he's putting out now. Before he was more about hood happenings, family, friends, and basically stuff goin on with him that I could relate to. Now-a-days he only cares about clothes, and material things. That Great confidence he used to have has turned into super cockyness......but I'm Just Sayin.

Yea I feel you on the Kanye thing. I feel like he's been changing over the last few years. I'm still giving him a chance though (although he wears turqouis pants which I hate) but I'll rough it out as a Kanye fan until further notice. Btw Cool Blog Dudes!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to agree with uu because I love Kanye. But I dnt feel like he's hungry anymore. When he first came out he had something to prove. Now hes established &nd his want to prove himself is decreasing. It SUCKS . . . I still love him though. hope me meks a change asap ! !
