Kanye Debuts Flashing Lights Video
Kanye screened his Flashing Lights video for the crowd at the Entertainment Weekly Grammy after-party last night. MTV has a brief description.
The video is a hodgepodge of sex appeal, brashness, grace and humorous storytelling. Basically, the short revolves around a lady taking out her frustrations on a bound-and-gagged West in the harshest way. Let’s just say that in the part where Kanye raps about his girl saying, "Where are you, Yeezy?," he apparently didn’t have a good enough answer. "The video is f—ing incredible!" Nas said. "Nobody wants to be different. Everybody wants to be the same, and Kanye always comes with some other sh–. He’s not afraid to be different."
I figure we should have this bad boy by later this afternoon or tomorrow morning the latest…

No disrespect. But 50 cent is the mastermind of Gimmicks. Especially for buzz. What exactly is the issue you have with any other rapper using a gimmick?
February 11th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
it is impossible for me to construct a hypothetical circumstance pursuant to which 2x would call 50 a dumbass
50 would have to literally shit on 2x’s kid (if 2x has one — i think he only mentioned the seed when he was e-mudwrestling boosie, so who knows if the seed exists)
and even then 2x would be like “well let me find out what my kid did, maybe my kid talked shit, i mean - 50’s got a right to defend himself yo…”

you just not thinking logically…. or not tryin to ..
i just said it earlier, if you gonna do something to creat a lil buzz from the public for your album, atleast do it tastefully…..not like that shit Nas fuckin did
if 50 says, “ill retire if Kayne sells more” to create a gimmick or buzz for the album release, then oh well, no big deal…
if Jay-Z creates a gimmick about a album that goes along with a movie that’s coming out, and try to get attention based on that moive,..ok..it;s a gimmick, but still no big deal
what Nas dumbfuck did was despearte, dis-tasteful….
