Kanye West “Flashing Lights” || Spike Jonze Revenge Drama
Today’s post is a look at the new music video for Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights”. I usually don’t post videos for bigger, mainstream artists but I can’t deny the genius behind this one. Kanye West and co-director Spike Jonze have created a 3 shot drama. This video has created quite a lot of controversy because of it’s content. So you know it’s going to be good.
The video shows a woman (Playboy Playmate Rita G) get out of her car, take off her fur coat and burn it, then open the trunk to reveal a gagged and bound Kanye West. The ending shocks you while opening a slew of unanswered questions.
What makes this video so powerful is these questions that it forces you to ask. Who is this woman? A lover? A fan? A music video ho gone crazy?
Kanye West and Spike Jonze collaboration has created a simple yet unique piece of drama. I enjoyed it, I hope you do to. It sure is refreshing to see rap artists thinking outside the box.
I liked the feel of the video, but it is such a yawn fest. The booty is nice though.
