Kanye West - Flashing Lights (Music Video #3) !!NEW!!

[JohnH387]

I'm getting a GTA vibe from this Sound

[TrickyEmu]

You know, people start interpreting bullshit into this. Just because the uploader wrote Music Video #3 doesn't mean it's the third video. This is the first video. The Model version was 2nd and the final video was the 3rd. And Kanye said they have nothing to do with each other. They are 3 totally different ideas.

[mariamjan21]

I dont get all 3 versions of this song, but all three are masterpieses and all Kanye's vids are great, I just dont get all of them, but Im sure there is always a meaning to these kind of vids of Kanye. Love you Kanye

[LiliMarkos]

can somebody explain me what these 3 videos mean??? how should a person understand them? i beleive there's something deep and ful of meaning and sence...but i can't figure it out

[reggiebrownvideos]

I WOULD LOVE TO WATCH A WHOLE FEATURE FILM WRITTEN BY KANYE!! 'YE, WHAT'S UP?

[EverLast04x]

@reggiebrownvideos He made one. It's called 'Runaway'

[reggiebrownvideos]

@EverLast04x Runaway is considered a short film. a feature is at least an hour and 15 minutes. but runaway is a GREAT short

[malikismyname]

Thumbs up to the visual director Martin De Thurah... This video puts the two other videos to the test!

[ball3r90]

beautiful artwork.

[imasugarush]

Kanye Looks cute here

[MrJfam1]

type in "syllables response" the kid is killing it

[Ms09052009]

What i like the most about Kanye West is that his songs are unique...different story every time.....he's not predictable! looove his style! i agree! He actually IS a genious! :D

[skateman96]

@Ms09052009 Not to mention he loves fishsticks

[yay2809]

me gusta pila esa cancion

[NightmareTeeVee]

Kanye can make GOOD ASS MUSIC and has a mind ive never seen from a rapper.....just as a person hes a dick thats why people dont really like him. no question he can make music. He could shit a song and still make it enjoyable. Hes like the Lebron of music. Everybody hates him but everyone admits he can play ball.

[AgentzZzer0]

@NightmareTeeVee nice analogy, but I like Kanye ^^

[AgentzZzer0]

@NightmareTeeVee nice analogy, but i still like kanye xD

[3363gio]

is a cool song

[TrickyEmu]

It's not part 3. In an interview, Kanye said he made 3 videos. THe other 2 videos were leaked and not supposed to be around. It's not some sort of storytelling. It's three completely different videos from a genius.

[dadoggjr]

my favorite out of the three

[cornelius600]

i first heard the song playing gta4 lol

[TheRhythmxNation]

Oh wait, how the hell come I never seen this before? Lol!

[dabigdikdangler]

@TheRhythmxNation Prolly cause like me you like the bad ass chick in the desert one.

[greenman789]

this is the best on of all 3

[josepippo]

Kayne is a master man... what a musician., and im not ino this kind of music... but this man is nothing but talented

[DigitalREBELation]

i can't help but LOL at the people who think kanye is actually genius enough to create this video, or any of his other videos that are watchable. You should be praising the true brilliance of the directors, not some egotistical, pop-music-for-the-masses, producer like kanye.

[Vitacius]

@DigitalREBELation agreed

[greenman789]

@DigitalREBELation i think you should be praising the brilliance of his music, and no director can produce what kanye has, but yes the video along with music is beautiful as well

[UltraKid808]

@DigitalREBELation,

Um...Kanye actually has a very big part in his own music videos...he actually picks out the directors and collaberates with them...the industry doesn't pick the directors out for him....also Kanye is a music video director himself...he's directed Go & The Corner for Common and he's co-directed the first Flashing Lights video with Spike Jonze...

[shawnwayne23]

@DigitalREBELation Um sorry to inform you but Kanye happens to be a producer as well. And most of his songs are produced by himself too. so yes Kanye IS a genius. suck his 9 beyotch!! =)

[crushxcrushxbaby]

@shawnwayne23 very true. kanye produced for jay-z, alicia keys, the game, common, john legend, etc. he really is a genius because he dares to step outside of the regular mindset about rap music and lyrics.

[shawnwayne23]

@crushxcrushxbaby :) truth

[MrPoetTN]

@DigitalREBELation lol your an idiot. Kanye did produce this. He created the concept behind the whole thing. Just like his entrance back into hip hop after the taylor swift incident is genius. He is playing this part perfectly. Fuckin dicktard.

[circe1204]

KANYE WEST IS A GENIUS.

[GigglyCute]

i liked it becuz it was different from all of his other videos its kool beuz ur not supposed to get it at first he wants u to think and watch it over and over again so that the video will get more views.... get it now?

[vmarsfiles]

Can someone please explain what's going on in this video? I didn't get it at all. It looked as if Kanye was playing a live action version of Clue. Lol.

[BlackLocke23]

@vmarsfiles The video to me is an interpretation of the afterlife. I think this happens after she shovels his ass to death in the first video.

[vmarsfiles]

@BlackLocke23

Ah ok. That makes sense! Thank you!

[Jeeriosthedrummer]

this is the only good rap

[medalloboy19]

hahaha wow

[KingLC90]

my favorite song of kanye for sure

[futhermucker5]

3rd-1st

2nd-2nd

1st-3rd

Merry Christmas.

[Crazy4Wesker1220]

Knye west is so fine!!!! hes a genious

[apopbox]

What's going on. I dont get any of this.

[whagit234]

@apopbox watch the other 2 videos and pay attention

[apopbox]

@whagit234 I did.... still don't get it. They see like random videos. The lyrics don't even make sense. Is there an interview with Kanye explaining what they mean and if they're connected? I see what some people think it is, but what is it really?  I like the music but I don't know what the song (or most modern day songs) is about. Just curious. No hate.

[Crazy4Wesker1220]

kanye west is so amazing!!!!!

[noobsdumb]

LOL! i just searched for the vid and i found the one where she kills him and im like,'whaaaahhh???????'

[BigKingz10]

in this video is my best friend the brown boy his name is Marvin Caetano

[phskeithatkinson]

How many videos for one song does an artist need to know that his intent is lower than futile? What is this, Clue?

[eddyw16]

this should had been the first video release :D

[righteousrat]

I don't like this kind of music and I don't even like Kanye West, but this is a really good song.

[soadcore]

it's just a good song

[rissiepooh95]

hey can anyone fully breakdown all three videos of flashing lights to me? i get some of the concepts but the rest is like uuugghh to me ;)

[danny2896]

flashing lights, coldest winter and diamonds are forever are great

[Khyngpyro21]

IMO... This is the dumbest video I've ever seen. It didn't in any way explain anything, didin't mean anything & wasn't about anything.

[DigitalREBELation]

@Khyngpyro21 and this is why you listen to kanye west

[TheDarkangle91]

@DigitalREBELation same here

[joshyxpoo]

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SHIT!!!

[Fatiski]

Damn I wish he had made this his official video, instead of the other one. Only reason people liked the other one was cus of Rita G's assets lol.

[chipcityls]

lol what happened to her???

[kanyeevl]

this is my best flashing lights video, it explains a fucking lot

[e0syd0mover]

does anyone know how they do that weird shakey camera effect on kanye at 1:23...pls someone help!!! i wanna know badly!

[freshnjays23]

so basically play the 3 part videos in reverse... this is his guilty conscience of him cheating... 2nd video is girl finding out and being frusterated... 3rd video is girl gets crazy and kills him. wow... kanye is a genius.

[rbk408]

Yup, never thought it that way.

And yup kanye is a fucking genius xD

[jimmyblade92]

I agree. This may sound crazy but I think he's better than Jay-z

[rbk408]

That depends...Beat wise he beats Jay's ass any day.

Lyrics...is a hard one...But yeah 'Ye all the way! XD

[nam1dsd]

he is...jay z is just a better business man and a smarter, less arrogant person. if kanye used his head he would b runnin the game

[gemini4lyfe3001]

nah man....da 2nd Official video iz da start of da drama that shows him interacting with da female he was messing around with while his girl was stressing about what 2 wear 2 a party that she was suppose 2 me him at.....he never shows but finds out he was fucking around...in comes da OFFICIAL vid where he gets killed in da trunk of da Mustang...and da 3rd vid iz him goin through a haunted-like house following a a familiar face dat resembles da female was initially messing around with....but when

[gemini4lyfe3001]

hes led through da window's balcony...hes floating indicating that hes dead and so iz da female he was chasing.....crossed over...dats my take on it but remember da characters dont have 2 be played by da same actors 2 show relevance....most of da shit u just have 2 imply but beautiful art none da less by a Gemini as usual.......

[lburna72]

@freshnjays23 Or the first video is when he gets caught cheating and gets killed, the second video the girl has a guilty consience for killing him and the third video is him after he's dead.

[UniSkibum]

@lburna72 What 3 videos?

[ajanderz]

@freshnjays23 True,!

[kendallgirl23]

@freshnjays23 sound very intresting i was like wondering why three videos

[turchetta26]

This video is by far the best... for me anyway

[Mstevens811]

This third vid is crazy!!! Kanye's thought process and his concepts are far too ahead of this time. The storytelling in this is excellent

[ladycornish]

@Mstevens811 um, ever heard of a director? he's just a puppet. really.

[sheiaboo]

the girl that he chasing...thats my friend sessilee!!! U GET IT GRL!!!

[chizuka5014]

why 2 guys killing each other?

is thier paparazzi?

[DanthemanCTU24]

why does the volume keep going up then going down :s

[ajbirchdesigns]

the first vid the girl kills him because kanye really got caught cheating in the second video the girl is fine untill at the end she starts to get frustrated and this video he is at a haunted house, so the cheating thing haunts him and he gets caught witch leads to the second video when the girl finds out at the end and then the girl kills kanye

[LOLJP1793]

i dont really get the song or the video but it was still cool

[Andrewsaxamophone]

The song talks about the paperazi, and how it sucks to be constantly bothered by them. Unfortunately, none of the videos reflect upon that...

[HOWTOUSEIT]

I agree this should of been the premiere video, instead of Rita G'S version, she did own that video though.

[Lembo111]

best vid of all 3;)

[getcrunkjunky]

i bought his shiiiiirt :]

[Pelitas79]

volume not good up-down sometimes

[wpscz]

very artistic and some parts creepy but cool

[JoePlaya87]

bet vid of all 3....should have chosen this one...

[justlovely08]

i love this video, people have to actually listen to the words and look at all three videos and see the common theme in each. its really deep if you just pay attention

i loved the song 500 times more when I actually listened to what he was talking about. wasnt this for alexis too? they are back together now =/

[252representa9999999]

Can u please tell me wat the hell this video means

[lilkdub503]

He was caught at some place with some other woman, and he blames the paparazzi for breaking up him and his fiance

[252representa9999999]

oh ok good lookin

[qwertXqwert]

this is the best vid out of all 3

[D0H3RTY42]

"i know he did it"

I know he made the best music in da world

.:'-Kanye.:'-For.:'-Life.:'-

[SonnyTBNYC]

all the videos were great.

[beehen12345]

all 3 are about karma. all that needs to be said

[yourtiy]

the first one sucked, the sencond 1 wasnt even a vid, so thats y he did this one shitheads, plus he IS telling a story

[junez08]

poetic

[carmelocj15]

i guess the song has more than one story in it. or maybe you can look at the song in many different ways. but kanye must have a lot of $ to be makin' 3 videos for 1 song

[RadVal]

I'm not much for Rap or R&B but Kanye West doesn't do to bad, good beats/music, and this video is pretty damn good.

[2west0side6]

he made liek a story to this song.

fer all the retards who liek to hate

[miyoshi9211]

GOTTA LOVE IT

[adminoperator]

ok kanye, enough with the videos. ur lack of providing actuall connection from the song to the video is really annoying. why dont u spend some time creating videos that actually makes sence?

[juelz91716]

u gotta listen to the words... "as i recall i know u love 2 show off but i nver thought that u would take it this far but what do i know" every video for the song is about someone taking it too far..u gotta THINK!!! except for the second video thats just the simple flashing lights of the camera that everyone thinks about when they hear the song.

[avery465]

no the girl in the 2 one got rapped, atleast thats what it looks like

[insomniac93]

god how many vids are there flashin lights

[sezrez]

sweeny tod?

[deucestg]

its the game clue. kanye is a detective. everytime the thunder strikes (flashing light) sumbody dies.

[MissNickinha]

Kanye West is the best! \0/

[nguyenersaur]

he must really likes this song alot huh?

i love all three video

goodjob kanye!

[GlossyGold]

This is my favorite out of the three "Flashing Lights" videos. I love the Haunted Mansion vibe.

[DekaDude]

I agree! This is the best of the three videos. While it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, visually it's the most quality version out of all three. I really like the "Haunted Mansion, Clue" vibe to it as well. This is an awesome track.

[irassehcordnas]

this track is uncridebel and nothing else!!!!!!! i put on!!!!!!!

[civicsRus]

it kinda has that CLUE the game feeling to it tho

[civicsRus]

great video i understood it. pl u listen to the lrics to hard and try to put a video with it. its creative. ppl think that just by the lyrics the song is suppose to go with it. no. he's getting creative and making you guys think OUT SIDE THE BOX. keep it up Yeezy. Maybe i just understand it cuz im from chcago to and most videos i see dont always have to match the lyrics.

[TheFreshestNigga]

So y don't u explain the videos for those of us who can't think outside the box.

[MrlynMac]

The first video is fine, just a little too short. There needed to be more detail. The second video is crap. This video is confusing but okay.

[rapazinho89]

i think he made 3 videos cause he thinks that this song is great but it didnt had the impact he wanted... so he was trying to make the video that matches the quality of the song

[Pill989]

Well i'm not sure of what is exactly going on, but my guess is the girl seen wondering through the video is an old lover of his that he killed. He then host's a party and during the party the guest figure out he killed her. The maid then kills his guest. Meanwhile he is chasing the ghost of the girl who eventually causes him to commit suicide.

[rockleex13]

Wow, I can't believe you were able to make sense out of this video. The first video was easy, you just had to analyze the lyrics.

But this one depended more on analyzing the video... in which the video is pretty confusing.

Anyways, this video reminds me of Sweeney Todd for some reason.

[BigTimeActor1987]

wHAT THE HelL? Kanye West is a genius but im really confused.

[KingAlazae]

this remindds me of that place in runescape

(shulda kept that 2 myself...)

[ywaileykid]

i love this song :)

but no idea what it actually means ?

:(

[junera8]

GENIOOOOOOOOOO

[Michaelr239]

this is the best video, but it makes the least amount of sense

[aznBebe86]

so true... the video looks real cool and all, but I'm so confused and everything is just so random XD

[Chrysdapher]

i love this version. well done Kanye

[djrerun01]

This is more trippy than most Techno music videos.

[jcorm970]

best 1

[amitmo1992]

from all 3 videoclips i like this 'cause this clip amazing. good work ! i luv it and song awesome :)

[DawgVideos]

is this the Godfather or something

[lisabc2]

How many videos are out there for one short song?

[Lukorz]

Kanye always has the best videos.

[mattdude40]

is this a mafia meeting or something?

[lollipopsiclelol]

he shud hav pikd dis 1

[cjayx3]

Kanye West is the only artist who can pull off making more than one video for a song.

definitionXbattle described the genius of the videos best.

Kanye is a true artist, and he's not afraid to try something new.

He did an edgy video, a mainstream video, and a somewhat random video for the song, and all go along with the song [in terms of flow, of course].

This song is about Kanye getting caught cheating on his girl.

And he won't hide in shame; he'll tell people about it instead.

Viva Kanye<3!

[GertrudeBob]

That is a stupid assumption to make. Kanye West isn't a fucking god, he's a wanker who has deep race-hate issues. "An edgy video, a mainstream video, and a somewhat random video." - Shit, maybe you should write for Rolling Stone.

[Padrinoforreal]

so when's da 4th version commin out????? i dont get any of da past versions but my fav. is da 2nd version...dat girl dat got raped is fuckin hot as hell!!!

[lilkdub503]

How many versions of the same song are going to come out? Knowing Kanye, he will probably come out with 50 variations of the same exact song.

[htownlean]

They only made 3 and kanye only picked one.

[9YoungDeezy9]

omfg!! this dont make sense!! part 1 was the best. if someone who explained version 1 is reading this please get at me and explain 2 and 3 to me!!! thnx

[superjeff5000]

hahaha, man, none of these videos make sense

[1Chance2Choices]

This Video is Cool as Fuq...

Kanye is my dude

[Jasrey32390]

How many videos of this song is he gonna make?

[lilbunnyjr6207]

he said he wasn't happy with the first two on an interview...I think maybe cause the first one couldn't make it on BET due to the woman in her thongs the whole vid...and then the second one didn't really have him in it......but I think it's like two more versions of this vid too...

[Jasrey32390]

BET...made over thongs? Fucking hypocrites. They should take a second look at the rap videos they play. Hell, I remember when Sisqo made a whole damn song and video about thongs and they were more than happy to play it.

[lilbunnyjr6207]

you can still watch it on here though...I thought the girl was disgusting, all flabby and shit...she even had a lil gut...make me glad I don't have one...ill.....but if you're a guy, like some of the others, you might like it

[AnnaEva86]

You're horrible ...

[onepersontwoperson]

not my favorite version. still like the song.

[Noemiedu66]

KANYES BEST. I love him sooo much.

best song ever

[blacksturmgeist]

all of the day I have been listen this great song

[periwinklewishes]

v i cant see the "racism" part in this movie. how come?

[RimzMeow]

i think this video is about racism....i said 'think' so dont screw me over...imo, d black gurl who happens to be the ghost is seeking revenge on those who killed her and perhaps she's possessed d bodies of the maid and the young boy!! who knows perhaps :P

[psychedelicacid]

its wierd how all 3 videos have nothing to do with the song..the songs about the paparazzi taking a picture of him cheating on his girlfriend..and none of the videos shows that..its so confusing!

[milly504]

ITS TOO COMPLEXED 4 U KID

[psychedelicacid]

IM OLDER THAN YOU KID

[milly504]

GOOD 4 U!!!: )

[psychedelicacid]

thanks

[definitionXbattle]

maybe its the other way to, the girl cheating on the guy

"i know you love to show off, but i never thought that you would take it this far"

like she wanted to be seen.she took it far enough to be seen for the cameras

and then he switches it

"as YOU recall, you know I love to show off"

either way, i think the genious of all 3 videos is keeping the true meaning hidden, and just gives the fan a pure peice of art.all 3 vids are very beautiful,& kanye always reaches for the best&new ideas

[Zelltre]

in a way they all link to different parts of the song.

"Who would've thought that I would take it this far?"

Who would've thought the ghost lady would've put Ye through all that? Taking it that far to suicide?

[yoBsup]

how many fucking video's wow...hey, its something good to watch though:) love kanye, love this song.

[RimzMeow]

i like kanye...he's d most edgy of any hip hop stars out there...but he's really arrogant tho...well i appreciate his work regardless!!

[hitthao]

i love the second one the most

[ravyade12]

this is my favorite!

[jayjno19]

v.confusin..

[M19A91S]

i think the 2nd one makes more sense, because the scenario doesn't fit with the song, but the 2nd one made sence to the song and so did the first one overall 2nd=best

[abelisking]

this video makes more sense the first flashing lights i didnt undertstand at all

[lovesick101]

model's name around 2:20 is Sessilee Lopez...she's on one of the covers for the July 2008 issue of Italian Vogue

[tradskin91]

my guess is that this is kanye's take on guess who? you know the game?

[sweetbliss80]

i liked the other two videos better

[turnstoGOLD]

CLUE!!!

.kandrea..

[KKarlyNNicole]

i love this

i wish it hadnt taken so long to come out thouigh...now that that song is kind of over...on tv...u know its not really played anymore.

[nique2sexy]

I'm sensing another R. Kelly (102 chapters of the same song) haha

Is it just me or is this music vid baded on clue? It better than the other two videos. Artistically anyway. The first music vid was a morality tale. The s
