Flashing Lights




I hate Kanye West. OK, I don't hate him but his arrogance annoys me... A LOT. But, I cannot deny, Kanye always manages to deliver.

His latest effort, Graduation, is not my favorite album, but "Flashing Lights" (featuring R&B singer, Dwele) is definitely my favorite Kanye song. Kanye's smart rhymes ("like Katrina with no FEMA/ like Martin with no Gina," (anybody who can seamlessly reference current events and early 90s sitcom, Martin, is OK by me)) mixed with Dwele's soulful delivery of the chorus equal another hit for Kanye.

or just listen to it here



I guess I'm not the only fan of this song. Canadian artist, Colin Munroe samples "Flashing Lights" on his song, "I Want Those Flashing Lights."


Colin does it justice. What do you think?

Seriously, I love this song so much. That and Sensual Seduction by Snoop Dogg (the dirty version with Lil Kim). I actually have a song that I recommend for you -- La Linea De Luz by KINKY...they are SOOOO GOOD.
