Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights” Video: What Happens Next?


As many of our readers noted, the video for Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights,” which debuted yesterday, just sort of… stops, even cutting off before the song it’s promoting comes to a close. Surely its Kanye-gets-beaten-with-a-shovel ending isn’t, well, the ending of the video, right? I mean, it looks gorgeous–even through heavily buffered Flash–but something tells me that this clip has to be some sort of attempt to bring serialization into the world of single music videos. After the jump, we come up with four possible scenarios for part II of the clip; vote on which one is your favorite, or tell us your own plot for the minute and change that follows Kanye being whacked with a shovel for the last time.

    They should have it segue into the video for the next single a la Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day" and "Check Ya Self." Of course, I don't know how he'd survive a shovel-bludgeoning.

    she is not bludgeoning him, but ceremoniously removing the tape around his hands and freeing him by use of the shovel strokes

    serialization of music videos, huh? I seem to remember that the last time someone tried to do that we got this.

    Not that I'm complaining or anything.

    #5 - Foxy-murder-lady finds out, to her dismay, that she too is covered in magic pixelated fire liquid, catches fire, and the video turns into a scantily clad version of Wax

    she looks at the car trunk

    Kanye pulls out his Baretta


    she walks up to the car trunk


    she goes up to the car trunk


    now she's at the car trunk


    damn she's opening the car trunk

  • FionaScrapple

    Where's the bridge?

  • hastings

    Kanye escapes, foils a blood diamond smuggling ring and related plot to nuke the world, and takes a much deserved cruise. A fat 50 Cent doppelganger is the ship's pastry chef, baking a cake that may detonate at any moment. [implied explosion off-screen]

    Two months pass and she's at a VMA with another superstar rapper. They dedicate an award to Kanye, he comes out while, he's walking out her face is in dismay. She tries to walk out while her now current superstar boyfriend chases her. She gets held up by security on the red carpet, camera lights are flashing, Kanye comes out behind and gives a smile and they take her to jail. And during the court proceedings, they are flashing lights for the newspapers of her and the superstar rapper she was dating got her out. She gives a smile to the camera to let everybody know that she's back out on the prowl. Video hoes will never die.
