WANT YOUR OWN AVATAR? GET IT HERE.

i heard that this song and

i heard that this song and video is actually about Kanye getting caught by the Papparazzi in Florida with a stripper. Flashin lights? Papparazzi? I hate these n***s more than the nazis? She in the mirror dancin all sleazy - stripper. His girl calls and he gives her the same old whope dee. Anyway, I suspect her burning the fur is about his girl burning through his money and the the chick dressed like a stripper killing him represents how the tripper destroyed his life.

TO me, and tell me if anyone

TO me, and tell me if anyone agrees with me...when you listen to this song its all about flashing - GOLD DIGGING...Don't ya'll think she is his gold-digging girl that got tired of his sh*t and killed his a$$. That's a LESSON TO MEN! Deal with a gold-digging biotch and she will stuff yo' a$$ in the trunk of the car YOU bought her wearing the lingerie YOU bought her right before she takes a shovel to your head. Might make sense to some, but I like to think of it that way!!

I understand trying to think

I understand trying to think outside of the box. But if he's going to represent an image of being avant-garde in music video's then he needs to raise the bar. We see naked girls in videos everyday, this would be better to me if it were a little classier, and more tasteful. I'll wait until I see the rest of the video before I call it complete garbage.

Her hair is could still be in

Her hair is could still be in the trunk and fingerprints on the lighter fluid or lighter ..the concept of the video makes perfect sense if you listen to the song and the lyrics/

This is a decent vid. Kanye,

This is a decent vid. Kanye, Kanye, Kanye. That's all I can say. But if u listen to the song he said,"I never thought that you would take it this far, what do I know." So there for she killed his 'flashing lights.' Holla

I love this video!!! I

I love this video!!! I didn't expect it to look like this but it does go in line with the song. I took Flashing Lights to mean various things if you listen to the lyrics of the song... Flashing lights can mean the flashy celebrity lifestyle that he and his girl are living...having all of the finer things in life. Flashing Lights can mean the Paparazzi cause that is how his girl found out he was cheating, the paparazzi took a pic and put it in magazines. and before I saw the video, I also took Flashing Lights to possibly mean police lights...cause she would get arrested after she killed him. If you listen to the hook..."As I recall, I know you love to show off, but I never thought that you would take it this far.. What did I know?....flashing lights"....

i whole heartedly agree!

i whole heartedly agree! kanye is not my favorite person in the world, but his music is original and he's always pushing the envelope. you have to respect his gansta on that. i for one love the video, but i do think it needs a part two, maybe summing up what happened before all the naked model walk-shovel stabby to the gut scene.

[quote comment="36710"]Now I

[quote comment="36710"]Now I love me a Kanye West video...i swear I do. He's always out of the box with it, never what you'd expect and you can always bet that it's going to be something different. I'd argue thats he's the modern day MJ when it comes to videos. With that said...and knowing how kanye is. I'd say that I like it, in a weird left field way. It's artsy. I'd like more of a background of why he's in the trunk...but hey! lolz BET, MTV, and VH1 are going to need some kind of an edited version of that...and with all due respect of opinions, I hear continuous complaints [even today with ashanti's video] of videos always being the same. Well here's something new for you...be careful what you ask for.[/quote] ******* i whole heartedly agree! kanye is not my favorite person in the world, but his music is original and he's always pushing the envelope. you have to respect his gansta on that. i for one love the video, but i do think it needs a part two, maybe summing up what happened before all the naked model walk-shovel stabby to the gut scene.

[quote comment="36933"]ummm.

[quote comment="36933"]ummm. now, I love me some Kanye. And I looooooooooove this song. However, don't you typically take the coat off after the murder? I mean, is she going to burn her panties and bra next and take off a la space cadet girl? Perhaps I need to stop watching CSI... and enjoy the simplicity...[/quote] That's what I was thinking. She should have done that shovel sh@% b-4 she took off the mink to burn it, 'cause of the splatter :-)

[quote comment="36948"]I don't get it.....[/quote] Neither do I!!! Kanye is so weird. Is this some type of symbolic message about death and how "Hollywood" and its vices (women, fame, luxury, etc.) are trying to kill him and shut him up??? That's all I'm getting. I'm just sayin....

Holy mother of my hard penis,

Holy mother of my hard penis, is that Rita G, clearly she has put on some pounds because she now has a tummy and chicks with tummys are gross, but DAMMM, chick is still fly, I must watch this video again(3 times in). Ok so now that I have busted a nut to Rita we have to clear some things up.. shouldn't the roles be reversed? What women is going to be able to manhandle any self respecting guy with nuts like that, he's in a trunk and being abused by a woman so clearly it's not a man, it must be another lesbian with a mustache or something.. second, guys do this to women every year, the tie them up and drive to the desert and chuck the body thing so it's fresh to finally see the roles reversed.. ok so back to reality now, I think that my lady is cheating, it's time to fire up the Tahoe as this chick is going for a one way ride to the bottom of a local river, to much Rihanna has her thinking that it's ok for good girls to go bad.. no bitch, bad girls get drowned. It's Rita G mofos, only a true porn king would know that.. Thank U, Thank U.

[quote comment="36844"]As a

[quote comment="36844"]As a female, even though mama was under dressed it was nice to see a REAL BODY, mama had a "pouch" (her belly was NOT super flat), cellulite, and real breasts, she got alllll that.... now in regards to the video, I get it still. It moves kind of slow but I see where Kanye is going with this... it's twisted, just like the song. I'm looking forward to the rest....[/quote] ^^ I don't know if I seen "cellulite", I wouldn't go that far, LOL!! But I agree that the chick was SUPER BAD. She had to be like 6' ft tall with those legs. She better work! And I know folks are going to be calling Kanye's phone off the hook to find out who she is to get her in their video...Kanye ALWAYS got the exclusive sh*t. LOL!

Kanyeezy need to call up

Kanyeezy need to call up Quentin Tarantino, and they need to extend this madness into an actual MOVIE. That was hot. Ol' girl's titties were nice, but the concept in itself was HOT. The flashing lights of the hollywood press ain't fuh errybody! They might straight up drive you to lock a negro in a trunk and bash his ass with the shovel you finta dig a hole with to bury him in. I loved it. Go 'Ye!
