I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘Ye’s one of the few emcees left that still get $100,000 video budgets. The man just doesn’t know how to make a wack video.

 April 1st, 2008 at 1:56 am The song is here on the radio for months. Reached number 21 or something and is now slippin to 38. Well that’s in Holland…I hope this video will make it rise again. The video is dope, I really like the style! |

ALN Says: April 1st, 2008 at 6:45 pm I’m a fan. I appreciate the time that he puts into his music and videos. To me, this video establishes the fact that he is a good artist, not those awards that he insist on throwing tantrums over. |

Pesach Says: April 2nd, 2008 at 10:50 am the songs obviously a monster but this video isn’t such hot shit. the overlay effect is cool but really this is just a video that could have taken the man an hour to film and put together. I’m not asking for something crazy but this shit is very plain to me. |

KhrissiChris Says: April 8th, 2008 at 5:27 pm I must say “Flashing Lights” was not only his worst video but the worst video of the year maybe of the decade- but the song is still one of his best (all his songs are great) that video I really gotta hear the concept behind it cuz nothin was flashy or show off about it except the first 10 secs..oh and this video is SICK! |
