Flashing Lights Video = Done

Kanye posted this image over at his blog. He says the Flashing Lights video is done but he can’t post it until Tuesday because BET is debuting it. I’m guessing that’ll be on Monday, and you know as soon as that happens…you know where it’ll also be…

    Man, people REALLY dont listen / read.

    I never said its sad people think UK artists are wack.
    I never sad its sad people dont like UK artists.

    I said its sad the sole reason to not even listen to someone is because their a foriegner. That IS close-minded (whether you admit it or not) & it makes no sense to me. Everyones talking about Eskay’s comment SMH. I dont care about that. I’m talking about our experiences as an artists. That is all I said.

    I dont want free ride in America. I couldnt care less. I just stated a fact. Simple.

    Reading is very underrated.
    ___________________________________________________________

    People in America dont even give foreign music a chance so what chance does a foreigner really have to make it in America…

    The point is, if you can sing you can sing, no matter what nationality…but when you a foreigner and start rapper….people are going to automatically reject you…thats just the way it is…its competition man.

    Exactly my point. Which is why the first thing I said was “IM NOT SUPRISED”.

    All I’m saying is The US is the only place like that. Other nationalities get accepted in Yard making Reggae all the time, Americans get accepted doing Drum & Bass, etc.

    there’s no way to win when entering a conversation with him. he’ll either tell you you’re a spoiled brat rich kid from the burbs because you don’t make any grammatical errors and don’t have your mind in the gutter, or when you brag about how hood you are, he’ll tell you about his imaginary stock portfolio. he’s a 28 year old kid. smfh @ this bitch and his female tendencies

    I mean BE REAL. Like it or not, at the current time, America is one of the biggest, richest, and most powerful countries in the world… our entertainment game (as well as many other things) is top notch so many people tend to pay attention to the product being marketed here first, before looking outside the US for entertainment.

    THIS IS A BUSINESS MOVE. Media nowadays is flooded with entertainment to keep people entertained… What does American business have to gain my having American dollars going abroad to foreign artists? NOTHING.

    BUSINESS/POWER MOVES. American companies market their artists hard and its tough to break through… simple as that.

    DOG. How old are you? HUMAN BEINGS are creatures of HABIT. It has been said humans are averse to change. Since the beginning of TIME most new ideas and new things were at first critisized. The first astronomers that pointed out how things worked were hung and told to pipe down… Later on people came around…

    You can take a similar approach to music and in your case hiphop in the UK.

    Hip hop is relatively new and in the UK and abroad it is still taking off. the UK hiphop scene began because of the US movement. The more the worldwide scene grows and expands, the more quality artists will come out and the more music will be available… people will see the talent. it takes time…

    in your eyes, yes, they are garbage. whose “garbage” is purely subjective. Unless youre talking about detroit local rap, all other music can be viewed legitimately as good OR bad music.

Americans love Celine Dion and Shania Twain and Nickelback far more than anyone in the current top ten right now. In a climate where people can barely go gold, Nickelback have gone 7 times platinum on their latest album, putting out 7 singles (over half the album).

    Yeah fantasia can have all those too, but that still doesnt make her illiterate….Many literate people have managers, handlers and lawyers as welll, so your point is invalid.

    ^^How does that invalidate my point? Football players wear helmets but it doesn’t mean they’re retarded. Similarly, smart and stupid people have handlers and managers, the difference is someone like Fantasia needs people to chew her food for her.

    Nah, you can do it. People like Roots Manuva sell crazy numbers all over Europe. The majority of people buying dont even know what he’s saying…They just feel his music…

    But maybe thats because we’re English. We probably get more universally accepted than people connected to the continent. Plus ore people can generally understand us…

    But it is definently getting done. Europeans are SUPER fans. They listen to everything & They’ll buy your shit. Matta fact, they’ll buy your shit 5 times if they’re feeling you like that…

    But yeah, If your from a real CONTINENTAL country (France, Germany, Italy etc), its REALLY hard…

    I think you people are mistaking the general rap audiences acceptance for international rappers with the general music listeners in America’s acceptance for British and other European artists.

    Tons of British singers, rock groups, pop acts ect have followings here and are widely accepted by their fans here.

    When it comes to Hip Hop I’ve noticed acceptance for other International Hip Hop is pretty much non existent to a point. Maybe it’s the nature of the culture. Maybe it’s a lot of the ignorant listeners. But I guarantee you a pop r&b or Rock acts will be accepted in their respective genres before rap.

    lol at that bullshit arguement. On what basis are these people idiots. Your trying to say that in Canada these people had mediocre sales because they were idiots, but stateside their sales flourish because the American audience loves idiot singers? Yeah..I’m sure fans have the ability to decipher every artists intelligence individually and make a purchase choice based on that. smh Where would most rap be then.Not that I listen to these people but how exactly is their music idiotic? Lyrics/content maybe?

    What about 50 cent then, isn’t he like the #1 rap artist worldwide. I mean I’m playing devils advocate for the sake of the argument but It wouldn’t be hard to call him an idiot based on his lyrics and content, and people worldwide are eating his idiotic shit up. Not to mention the majority of white folks in Canada are loving that celine dion, and nickleback shit.

    ^^I’ve been subjected to enough media by all the artists I’ve mentioned to know that they’re morons, I’ve heard them speak. Smart people aren’t buying Soulja Boy albums, smart people also aren’t buying Nickelback albums. The Canadian artists all did well in Canada, because we have idiots too, but we also have laws requiring that 35% of all songs played meet strict “Canadian” guidelines. So they have to get played, and like you said, if people hear it enough, they’ll like it. Americans have no such excuse.

    Lyrics/content maybe?

    ^^Yes.

    Definitely didnt realize that though.

    ^^You’re right it’s not that serious, because I was joking. One of my favourite albums of late was the M.I.A. album. Not exactly rap, but definitely not American. That said, rap is an American art form mostly made by black people. The reason people don’t listen to foreign rappers is the same reason that they don’t listen to white rappers. Some can do it (Eminem), but for most it’s like learning to talk by reading a book, it’ll just come out sounding weird.

    Thats so true, people try to make an association with intelligence and music and it just doesnt hold water, State of grace has this whole thing with people being idiots, but fail to realize, that some people might think he is an idiot….meaning its all subjective, and if someone is an idiot, what effect does that have with what type of music they make?

    Its a lot of very smart chicks that listen to the trashiest music in the south, and I know some chicks that only listen to “intelligent” rap that are not the sharpest tool in the shed, or they are mediocre at best….its all subjective…
