Kanye Didn't Intend To Hit Us With Three "Flashing Lights" Videos

thubmnail icon: Kanye Didn't Intend To Hit Us With Three "Flashing Lights" Videos

Over at his blog, under the headline "I DIDN'T RELEASE THE OTHER FLASHING LIGHTS VIDEOS!!! PEOPLE LEAKED THEM," Kanye has a post explaining why he didn't intend for there to be three versions of "Flashings Lights" circulating on the Internet. The "scary" one and the one with the clotheshorse party girl were leaked without permission. We were just supposed to see Spike Jonze's woman-stripping-in-the-desert-and-beating-Kanye-with-a-shovel version. Kanye explains.

Via Kanye West Blog:

I shot 3 vids for flashing lights cuz I ain't like the first 2. I loved the 3rd one that I released with Spike and hit the world with that. I actually had Sam Speigal, Spike's brother and co-orchestrater of THE TOUR MUSIC, do a remix 2 the scary one 2 make the music fit. I planned 2 put it on a DVD later this year. No rant's here just an explanation of why yall getting those other vids rt now that I ain't approve and why I ain't finna post neither on my blog. So I hope whoever leaked them got the shine they was looking 4 cause that's all they'll get now. And I know that's incorrect english but that's how I talk when I want 2. Oh and I've just been 2 busy 2 get at the New York Times for all that his Ego BLAH BLAH BLAH bullshit so stay tuned. For fun, I want yall 2 read this whole post in the Grandma's Boy JP robot voice LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is one maniacal LOL.

What he hell does "finna" mean? This negro needs to go fuck himself. I'll tell you something else too: I was secretly happy when his mother died.

At least Larry Dickman (or anybody else for that matter) didn't give his videos letter grades.

The first one was his official pick? Soooo sloooow. I think the second version (stop-action) was by far the best. ...Also, Kanye's misuse of the the number 2 is excruciating.

@ Larry Dickman: SO pitiful. Looking for attention on the comments section of a blog. Sad thing is Im pretty sure that getting replies to your tasteless message is probably the highlight of your week.

Srsly, can't the editors of this blog cut out idiots?

This is for Larry and any other readers not up on "current" slang: "finna" = fixing to. Of course you could have figured that out from the context of the sentence.

I'm glad someone explained what "finna" means. Even from the context, I was puzzled.
And.. all three videos were fairly disappointing. Kanye's running out of rope.

It means "fen to", short for "fixing to", meaning "about to". And wow, that was evil.
