There Really Are A Lot Of Damn Lights In Kanye's New Video For All Of The Lights
In case you missed it, here's stunt queen extraordinaire Kanye West putting every colored light bulb at Spencer Gifts to the test in his video for "All of the Lights" featuring Kid Cudi and RiRi who is wearing one of The Slut Dress' newborn babies as a top. And in case your name is Serene Branson, you should not press "play" on this technicolor "shot in my mother's garage" mess because it will induce another complex migraine and heavy burtations will occur!

OK. And what?
He acts like a douche to everyone else, and it magnifies every flaw he has about him, inside and out.
I usually refrain from commenting on that kind of thing, but if you're an asshole it's open season.

That whole first minute or two was nothing but blinking letters.
Rihaha looks pretty, but I guess that's the point.
Kanye West is a mushmouth. Seriously, every time I see the dude, it looks like he's stuffed his face with mashed potatoes.
Serious question: Is Kanye afraid of the dark?

I just finished a bigassed glass of wine to calm my nerves after a car accident and Kanye's idiotic epileptic pile of dookie fucked up my buzz. You owe me a $9 bottole of Reisling, Gayfish.

It's wierd when Rhianna sings "I want you all to see this" and she turns to the side to show her nubile untanned side boob. Well, I guess if I was in my early 20's I would make use of my perky titties while I still could. And why wasn't Elton John mentioned, he is singing starting from the 4:30 mark. I think Hype Williams is in a tough spot, since he is trying to escape all of the cliches he invented-ultra high glamour, fish-eye lenses, synchronization of the cinemetography (Correct term?) with the beat of the music, scanning large areas of scenery, bright primary color background with pin-up girls... Whatever- love Kanye West's music.
Remember in the 90's when people said "hey, its the 90s right?"
We get it RiRi, you have a hot body, but you are one dumb bitch.

Its sad that I will never see this video. Never seen or heard any of his stuff--can't imagine I ever will.
I think it kind of sucks. And the video sucks. I like the general sound of the song, but it doesn't seem "good enough", like an unfinished product, and Kanye's shitty pseudo-singing is horrible (I'm not talking about the rapping, that wasn't so great either--but I'm no "rap aficionado"). I really don't like it when he tries to make his voice sound rough/gravelly. I guess I would have enjoyed the song more if somebody else was doing it.
Rihanna's video segments are stupid. It's like she's pretty much just standing there so we can see her tits. She looks all, "Uh, am I doing it right?"
The little girl was cute.
Love the song, LOVE RI!!!
Uh, Rihanna's top is uncalled for. And the line Kanye says about "can't see my daughter" is fuckery. He doesn't have kids. Unless you count his collection of fur jackets as children.
This was real? The first 2 minutes had me convinced that it was a fan's youtube version of the video. Somebody loved Electric Company in their youth. Hype Williams is washed up.
Kanye's first 2 albums were amazing. i am going to need him to stop messing around with vocoders and autotune.
I think I had 50 seizures watching that.
Love the song though

Never been a Kanye fan before the MBDTF album, and I hate ALL his videos. However, that album is easily the best rap album I have ever heard, and I've heard some fucking good ones. People just don't give him a chance, which is fine, I guess, but years from now it will be ubiquitous at the top of a lot of "Top 100 Albums" lists to come.

I completely agree. Liked him a lot before this album but I am totally obsessed w/ this one. It's too bad how much he gets in his own way.

Did ya see "SALT"? There's the legend of the Russian heavyweight wrestler marrying the only female chess grandmaster producing the baby that was inducted into the KA12 program. Well, let me tell you, I had a few nice dreams of that Russian wrestler *downs another mimosa and fans self*

On topic... I can't remember the topic. Sowwy!

I think he is once again trying to stir the Peven Everett pot. This video is much like Peven's music ads on youtube stylistically cause they were just made as slide shows .
Kanye is jealous cause Peven has the ultimate love of Chicago which is where they both hail from. Only problem is Peven Everett plays 13 instruments and composes all of his own material alone. No Samples and is an amazing vocalist. It's a shame we are even sitting here talking about such a lacking person as Kanye. He pays for everything and makes virtually nothing out of a fortune. Peven Everett organically makes the best r&b dance neo soul jazz and hip hop from the mind. He has been known to handcraft cd packaging as well. We need to stop paying any attention to this garbage.
I have one thing to say...You Bettah Work.
Rihanna = ugly dude in a series of bad wigs.

About Rihanna and the abuse issue:
I think Rihanna's singing of "turn up the lights, I want you to see everything" is kind of a fuck you to her abuser. She wants him to see her with another man and that she's moved on. Maybe this is an FU to Chris Brown.
Shit, what a seizure.

Thanks. I feel less alone!
I agree with you on Rihanna.
I am sure that Enter the Void is visually arresting, but its worldwide box office is $753,000 on a production budget of $16m. The Industry won't give you another chance to make a movie like that. Which explains Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, and the like: their movies are shit but they earn profits for investors.
GO AWAY GAYFISH! Take your gawd awful "music" with you.
I like this song. That is all.

Other than some paltry "story" about losing his child by smacking the babymama, what does "All of the Lights" actually mean?

I think police car lights from his arrest and the bright light of exposure about what's going on with his family life.

Thanks Callie! I knew it was about something but ended up having a grand mal seizure 'cause I got too close to my screen looking for meaning. Your interpretation is probably 100% correct.
"Seymour!! You said you'd never get married until you bought me an iron lung!"
Where were the lights? I couldn't even get past the little girl walking in the dreary weather with the depressing violin solo.
His vids take too much time to invest in. I have nothing going on today, BUT if I am going to watch something, it will be The Last Samurai for the 500th time over a Kanye West "I am so artsy and controvesial" year long video!
This video made me jump up and dance, well, if you consider sitting on your couch, having the world swirl around you, and nodding your head dancing.

I know I'm going against 93,999999% of what people think of KW on Dlisted, but -and not being a rap aficionado to begin with- I think his latest album is outstanding.
You have to go past his egocentric bullshit and actually listen to the music to appreciate it. He's a unique artist and very good at what he's doing.

I actually like a lot of his music, this song included. The video and topless Rihanna, not so much.
Simply awful and unwatchable.
I jumped forward and it doesn't get any easier to look at.
Who can watch shit like this? <-- serious question
