Question: How many videos do we need for one song? The 1st version of Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights” video was interesting to say the least. But the 2nd version was hot garbage.
This 3rd version is along the same lines as the 2nd version - which, as I said, was hot garbage.
What’s up with Kanye? Is he that arrogant and self centered that he thinks the public will sit still for 10 different videos of the same song from him?
Yes, “Flashing Lights” was a hawt song, but it’s played out now. For that matter, Kanye West is played out now. Can we get another single off the album?

I bought the CD and was OVA IT the 3rd time I played it … it got SO much air play .. that if I NEVA hear another song off the CD I’ll be COOL as a FAN !!
……
I still love Flashing Lights when I am in the shower and getting ready to go out. But it doesn’t take three videos for it gosh!!!
I’ve never been a real fan of the song so the three videos are over the top even for Kanye..less is more..geesh
I like all three videos to Flashing Lights and the track is HOT but the best track on his album is “Homecoming”.
Well said. I have to agree, Kanye West is played out. After the concert the CD has been on the BACK BURNER.
I do love me some Kanye music. But, NEXT……….
I actually liked this 3rd video much better. It displayed more meaning to the song or was story-like.
He can make 10 more and I will watch them all! I love me some Kanye!
i thought all three were well done and conceptually vivid.
Did he not get it right the first time? Gosh.
IN THE WORDS OF IN LIVING COLOR……. “HATED IT!!!”
Now I guess Kayne is thinking he can pull a r kelly and do differnt stuff to the same song (ie. Trapped in the closet all 15 chapters) Ummmmmmmmmm NOT KAYNE!!!!!! you may have sold more albums than that gorilla 50 but ummm give it a break
Damn PYT I was thinking the same thing. R. Kelly had 55467846341634563654688563…………carry the 1…..58468546879674674 chapters just to say that somebody was cheatin’.
Hell my first thought was pt.3? Hell I missed pt. 2, last I remember was this broad in a bad ass fur coat and some Vicky Secret Fredericks type sh!t digging a shovel into his nutsack. After that viola’ all I see is pt. 3. What the Yeezy?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well Flashing Lights was my song when i first got the CD, but of course radio played it out. i’m a kanye fan but to be honest, i haven’t even seen the first video for flashing lights, lol.
I guess he enjoy spending money!!!
I love me some Kanye!!
Yeah, people will watch. I watched all 50/11 videos of Trapped in the Closet. If it’s interesting enough, which I think it is, people will want to know what happens next.
I’ve only seen the one where the lady stabs him and thought WTF a 2 minute video. But now that I know he has episodes I wanna see them all
hahhahah yea trapped in the closet is tight I wont lie….. HE GOT THE PACAKGE.. OH NO THE PACKAGE.. WHATS THE PACKAGE?……… hahahhahahaha
I think there are subliminal videos…..Obviously. People are really into those now. Kanye can do what he wants the song is still hot!
Okay I agree that video is straight GARBAGE!!! HATED IT!!!
However, my Kanyeezy is not played out…ya’ll need to leave him alone!!! I love me some ‘Ye.
@Mz… Thank You Baby (Kanye is the ISH)
Don’t care about the video(s) BUT “Flashing Lights” IS the CUT… Outstanding production and Str8 Bumping ;-)
I will admit I still have this as a ringtone(lol) I love the beat, I am just mad the song is only like 30 seconds long!! & am I the only one who didn’t see the second part to this trilogy(lol)!!! Oh & btw I couldn’t really see the video in full cause it kept skipping but from what I saw it seemed better than the chick with the shovel!!
It was very ummm interesting…..still love KAnye though
oh no not another one!!! give it up already! why didn’t he just combined all three to make one , then i could have said it sucked only once!
yeah u know kanye is an artist and he thinks that his music is art and he is trying to display that in his video. but he’s one of that artists that don’t make any sense or u have to dig real deep into to understand…or that’s how he wants you to think of him anyway. he thinks he’s the picaso of rap. the videos all of them were absolutely beautiful, sad and tragic (his point) and very artistic but none of them make sense.
right now i think the boy is just miserably angry and going through some things. i hope he finds himself and lets God mend his emotions.
