(Assuming You Care) A Non-Explanation of the 'Flashing Lights' Video


killing-kanye.jpgLooks like MTV put a mic or a telephone in front of Rita G., the buxom star of Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" video. She basically says (without saying much of anything) that Kanye is so deep and genius that you have to be an all-supreme being in order to understand the video:

"This video will go over a lot of people's heads--and it's supposed to. I think it's great that it does. Because Kanye is just on another level; he's ahead of his time, in a sense. So all the third-graders who come home from school and want to watch videos and snap their fingers and all that, they're probably gonna think, 'That video is wack, but that chick got a fat a--.' And that's fine. But people in higher positions, they're gonna see something different. They're gonna get it, people who are thinkers."

But what about the people that don't want to "get it"? What about those of us that watched the video one time, tilted our heads to the side and said "Hmm, no Dwele" and kept it moving? We're sure there's a linear storyline and some social commentary buried in there somewhere, but why Kanye is being bludgeoned to death with a shovel on camera is the least of our concerns. There's an election going on! (Unless, of course, this video is about the election?)
