It's my favorite song off Graduation, one of the most insane beats I've heard in recent memory, and a song in itself that is visual that the video should be an epic masterpiece.

Instead...Kanye made this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEccxPPwXmI)

It wasn't too bad. It would have been better as a scene in a movie but as a music video it's kind of meh.

I've actually heard of The Flashing Lights because my brother was a fan, so I suppose that'll suffice.
