"Flashing Lights" is only 2nd to "Party Life" Best Song of 2007

[theo6kid]

Superstar, Roc Boys, My world is, The Die, bittersweet*,No Hook, Fallin, Paris to tokyo- All of these songs are superior to Flashing lights imo, personallyafter listening to "Below the Heavens" I'm starting to think that Exile is a better producer than 'Ye...only time will tell though.

 

[rapper slash exec]

When are dudes going to get it through their thick$+!% heads that 'Ye is not a nice rapper?

"Only believe in Shoes and Cars
Well more of the prior, the latter is tired
Get it, i am more vicious than Mike
Vick is to fido, you cant bite him."

 

[toast1985]

What exactly does this song mean?

 

[frsh2dth14]

I hate these N___ more than the Nazi's...
This was one of the corniest punch lines I ever heard. Kanye even thinks so, that's why he turns the beat up at the end of the verse to coverit

.

The synths save the song from any criticisms people have mentioned in this post.

Love the synths.


"Flashing Lights" + Babyface "There She Goes" = Excellence.

 

[jr paperstacks]

No. There's at the very least 20 songs off the top of my head that were better...

 

[mace40]

I also do not agree.

Well, every song from Amercian Gangster except Hello Brooklyn, Roc Boys and Blue Magic...that's 11.

We'll grab in the dark and take 4 songs from MM3...that's 15.

Then I Wonder, Good Morning, Hip Hop Saved My Life, The Art of Story Telling 4 and Fighters...

This man speaks the truth.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Can somebody please explain to me in great detail and in any other way bar for bar or message for message why this song is so praised? I dont get it. Iunderstand the song n all but Im not feelin this that much this song usually gets a skip for me. I feel Everything I Am and I wonder are waaaaaaay better thanthis along with handful of other Kanye songs that are better let alone the songs from other artists.

The horns annoy me on this, n the underlying message just reminds me of what he was spittin on All Falls Down n that Throw Some Ds version he got if you catchthe lines.

I dont kno how Ns can ignore I Wonder and call this song of the year. I just dont see it, I dont hate it n Im not sayin its whack but its not special to me.
