Wow! this is the greatest thing ever and I havent seen it yet!!!!!!!!!!
thats was str8 fire..kanye was illin with this 1
WEIRD .. SOME GOOD MUSIC IN IT THO
Amazing
Woooowww…yo Kanye did the damn thing with this…Its shit like this that makes him one of the best artists to ever do it..creativity is unmatched…I dig it
Kanye West seems to be obsessed with
demons, fire, devils, sin, hell, and the
color red. It’s not art, its demonic possession.
I was still bored after the first 20 minutes….
*snooze* So he screws the phoenix from outer
space??? no wonder he’s on another planet!
Go get some therapy Kanye!!!!
You’re mind is obviously deranged after
the death of your mother. You’re beyond
weird, you’re sick. May God have mercy
on your soul. What blasphemy!
that was pretty good, basically what i expected itd be. the plot and acting was eh but the music part was good and it was artsy like i thought. deffinately worth checking out, it was entertaining which was the whole point so overall bravo mr. west
WEIRD AS HELL, I DNT GET IT DUDE IS GONE I FELT HIGH WATCHN THIS CRAP!!!
SAY MY NIGGA….THIS WAS SOME GOOFY ASS SHIT, UMMA SPARK UP NEXT TIME I WATCH THIS SHIT. THE PART WERE HE IS DOING THAT DJ MIXING SHIT IS WEIRD AS FUCK…
this was deep.. i got the meaning like our world is really judgmental. music was hot
Honestly it was Amazing. Something that I’ve been waiting to see in hip hop for a very long time. Surely there are ignorant people who don’t get messages from this film and will be negative about it as they always are. But who cares about them right? what do they know about anything besides standing on a corner and holding a 9?
Anyways, this was a great film, Phoenix (the mythological fire bird) is sexy as hell.
Buying the album no doubt about it, even though I already heard the whole album.
wtf? the chick looked good, but i don’t get it.
This is the definition of weird. Kanye Is Crazy This is just a peek into his crazy imagination. I hope he doesn’t ever have kids to corrupt there minds with this sin and craziness. HE NEEDS HELP people stop laughing at this poor lost soul.
hahaha this shit was weird as fuck. Mad props to Kanye tho. Id definitely would need to spark one to this to be able to watch it a second time. Did yall notice the white slaves? ahahaha only this nigga. Fuckin weirdo.
Lyrics:
(Kanye West)
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I fantasized about this back in Chicago
Mercy, mercy me, that Murcielago
That’s me, the first year that I blow
How you say broke in Spanish? Me no hablo
Me drown sorrow in that Diablo
Me found bravery in my bravado
DJs need to listen to the models
You ain’t got no fuckin’ Yeezy in your Serrato? (“You ain’t got no Yeezy, nigga?”)
Stupid, but what the fuck do I know?
I’m just a Chi-town nigga with a Nas flow
And my bitch in that new Phoebe Philo
So much head, I woke up to Sleepy Hollow
Can we get much higher? (Higher, higher, higher?)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Look like a fat booty Celine Dion
Sex is on fire, I’m the King of Leon
And Louis, beyond the truest
Hey, teacher, teacher, tell me how do you respawn the students?
And refresh the page and restart the memory?
Respark the soul and rebuild the energy?
We stopped the ignorance, we killed the enemies
Sorry for the night demons that still visit me
The plan was to drink until the pain over
But what’s worse, the pain or the hangover?
Fresh air, rollin’ down the window
Too many Urkels on your team, that’s why your wins low
Don’t make me pull the toys out, huh
Don’t make me pull the toy-o-oy-oys
And fire up the engines
And then they make no-o-oi-o-oise
Can we get much higher? (Higher, higher, higher?)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
At the mall, there was a seance
Just kids, no parents
Then the sky filled with heron
(I saw the devil) In a Chrysler LeBaron
And the hell, it wouldn’t spare us
(And the fires did declare us)
(But after that, took pills, kissed an heiress)
(And moved her back in Paris)
Can we get much higher? (Higher, higher, higher?)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh
Can we get much higher? (Higher, higher, higher?)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Crazy how yall call this sin and everything else when every other rapper is talking about killing someone, or beating someone for stepping on $90 shoes. Movie was ill. Stop being ignorant and learn what a phoenix actually is, I’m sure ya’ll have seen X-Men 3, was that demonic?
People who don’t understand this film from their point of view shouldn’t just go and start making negative comments about this film. Try to watch it again and try to determine the significance behind each scene and then integrate them and then you’ll get the moral of this film. Showing your ignorance towards this film and kanYe himself just because you don’t comprehend the moral of this film doesn’t make you any better of a person. Well perhaps this film wasn’t meant to be understood by ignorant people, therefore you shouldn’t watch this film if you just going to complain about it and make insolent remarks.
I thought it was cool. Eff all these haters who don’t appreciate creativity or something different. You won a fan back over here Kanye!!! Brilliant!!!!
great music lots of symbolism i love watching the ballerinas on some hood shit never seen before. mad power flex. good art visuals
I also saw the Kanye interview, I respect him as a person, I think he said alot of things that should be percieved from that certain point of view. I also think that alot of people don’t give things an opportunity and quickly judge or turn away because there not used it. In maturing, I’m learning to not be close minded or arrogant towards people or situations that I havent been exposed to. Im Just Sayin’
Wow.. Speechless..
is that Nicki Minaj in the beginning?
Track 1 and 2.. on this movie is FIREEEEEEEEE!!!!
He changed hip hop….again! Funny how he always comes up with something new when hip hop is becoming trashier and trashier.
can somone tell me what the point of this thing was? I don’t really get the point of this. I know it shows that Kanye is artistic, demonice and messed up but nothing new. it just seemed like a fkin long ass video. I’d call it flashing lights part 2. I skipped thorugh most of that. Basically he finds a pheonix, she fucks him, and leaves, and he can’t have her. Man i aint hating, i love kanye’s music, as demonic as it is, i still love it. but i didn’t really Love this or hate it, just found it pointless
FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!
ON SOME TRUE NEXT LEVEL SHIT!!!!!
Amazing…the artform on how this was done is wow!…wow! he’s taking it to a whole’nother level
“…your girl is beautiful, uh thank you, but do you know she’s a bird, uh i never noticed”
I loved it
Everyone watching this film should’ve known by now, that it wasn’t going to be some surface-level stereotypical rap album accompaniment film, you may have to rewatch it once or twice, and really look at what the scenes mean to understand it
Yo…is there another version of “ALL OF THE LIGHTS”??? I only heard the one with Drake and that was fire…but the one in the video was different…
Didn’t watch it, but this nigga Kanye needs to stop wit the theatrical ish and get back to writin rhymes. Uff this ish.
bro the nigga just raised the bar on this one …..now everybody gon wan do 30 min long music videos ….hahahahahahah i luv my nigga …the best to ever do it …Mr. Kanye West
While driving; Kanye encounters the “fallen angel” that he rescues and nurtures throughout the video …Kanye starts making music & sings to her from scene to scene.. Which eventually revives the “fallen angel” or (Phoenix) ….Kanye West then eventually prepares a feast for the “fallen angel” …which represents acceptance in my opinion ….Entering into the last scene.. The “fallen angel” informs Kanye that she will burn and die …,Kanye then has sex with this “fallen angel” or demon..Which to me is symbolic of intertwining there souls be4 she burns ….Allowing her Spirit to live on through Kanye.. Kanyes songs throughout the film referenced demons, Satan and the devil on several occasions ….Kanye has mad it blatantly clear who ultimately influences his music! Look deeper than the “it’s just art” mentality
not only is this easily the worst thing i’ve ever had the misfortune of watching and vomiting too, its also clearly racist.
Thin Line Between Insanity And Being A Genius … This Man Is A Genius
best rapper out hands down this sh*t was dope kanye do what he wants to do and still out sell your favorite rappers
as an artist kanye has surely proved himself…he goes beyond many people expectations and always stays outside the status quo, yes, his choice and art and music is very different from the norm. but that’s what makes him unique, that is what makes him such a hot topic and an icon…so with that said…bravo Mr.West, bravo
Please look beyond face value…I love Kanye’s creativity
it was different but stupid at the same time ————–i guess he wants hip hop 2 be more like lady ga ga video visions -?-ever he would never capture true phemonal like MJ did with THRILLER—-so kanye u fail if u think this is gonna be history making—
SMH at all you people who don’t understand the symbolism integrated in this film, the problem is that it might be a little to deep for the average hip-hop head especially the ones that go t blogs and what not, this peace of film is not Mcdonalds AKA fast food for the mind its something more and deeper. Its basically about us as a people always pre-judging each other as well as a having a cult mentality thats what the symbolism in the Michael Jackson scene was for not just meaning Ku Klux Klan.
Honestly is kind of sad that there are so many hip hop heads who aren’t deep enough or intellectual enough to understand this, means we have a long ways to go especially in our schools. Also for people saying its satanic or the illuminati iscontrolling him relax stop listening to everybody else. Whenever you engage in art or art forms your going to delve into different areas thats what art is about expression, so stop pre-jusging everything that was part of the message of the movie as well.
Peace yall
damn so many dumbed down ignorant waka flocka fans commenting in here wow.
Hey….sorry guy’s about too much Ye posts for ya, perhaps there will be waka flocka post tommorow on RTNY for you :]
the nicki minaj intro is insane comparable to slick rick children story
maybe nobody remembrs loso’s way that was a half hour or so music film
these comments are hilarious
HERES A GOOD ONE ; BY MR . FAKAFF

BWAAAAAHAH LMFAOOO
WOWOWWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW KANYE U ARE THE MAN!!!
GENIUS!!!!! BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!!!!!!!
Aesthetically it was really enjoyable for me. Kanye seems to have a very keen eye when it comes to representing a thought or idea with visuals. The concept (if i understood it correctly) was very retrospective giving us a look into Kanyes world and also reach others on some degree. Not half bad
Everyone is entitled to their opinions; however, this is true art at its finest. Label him what you like but his risks and creativity take your hearing and vision to another level. True art is suppose to make you think and ponder about your beliefs, values, and life moments. From what I saw and see written, this brother is doing his d%# job!!!
wow…kanye is a genius.
Point blank, in order to have Kanye now…you have to have Kayne then…If it wasn’t for the fallout and subsequent realization, we would have “Good azz job” instead of the vision that’s “My Dark Twisted Fantasy”…It’s funny to me b/c my coworkers don’t fuc wit Ye anymore after the Taylor Swift thing…but they never really felt the music anyway…I feel like that whole situation made him stronger and therefore we have “Runaway” which is a song purely out of circumstance, (b/c we all know Kanye was an asshole from the gate, and reinforced it in his verses) but the song is illy…The feel of the album from what I’ve heard from his face book and other appearances, and what he’s unveiled through this feature is oso soulful with a touch a retrospect and a pinch of remorse…Gotta luv that raw emotion if…at the end of the day, you’re a real fan of his music that is…
WEIRDO…LMAO……Kanye West is crazy…LMAO
THAT WAS A CLASSIC MOVIE,KANYE IS A VERY TALENTED PERSON AND HE’S A LIVING LEGEND AND STYLE ICON
That wasn’t even that good.
Simply because I know he meant to have meaning behind every scene and he failed to project it.
IT TAKE A GENIUS TO THINK OF THINGS LIKE THIS,KANYE IS A MODERN DAY MICHAEL JACKSON.ALL GENUIS’S ARE WEIRD(R.KELLY,MICHAEL JACKSON,PRINCE,OPRAH,ETC ETC)WHAT I LOVE ABOUT KANYE IS HE ISN’T AFRAID TO BE WHO HE IS. MUCH LOVE TO THE MSATER CHEF K.WEST KEEP COOKING
Totally agree with Kobe its all symbolic..the fallen angel, communion through dinner and ceremony, then making love to her as acceptance as becoming one and whole with a demon…
i havent seen anything cuz the vid aint available in my country dam utube
i heard it a long time ago and it was absolutely true
they said that when someone is sooo talented in a certain area, they always have major downfalls in other areas
ok nevamind seen it on his blog, after 19 mins my pc gave up for sum reason and since i was bored anyways i decided to skip the rest. just seen blablas comment, now at least i know a bit what its been all bout, dont get me wrong i luv the colors and pictures, thats pretty dope, but i for my part was wondering the whole time what hes trying to say with this and why all this doesnt feels hiphop at all. after seening half of the movie now, i still believe that nigel gave a superfair review, good job
What was the point in this shit…. ya his new music was nice, but wtf was the video for? “To stand apart”? fuck outta here…. this is the stupidest shit ive seen
GENIUS!!! I expected it to be this way but i didnt expect that much of a message, and for the ignorant and unknowing has absolutely nothing to do with satan devil sin or anything of the nature learn some knowledge!
I don’t understand anything that went on in this movie. But I do agree with the comment that Kayne has lost his ever loving mind. When he said that he sold his soul to the devil, he was not lying. 90 dollars shoes has nothing to do with what’s going on in this movie. If you understood this movie, than you are just as crazy as Kayne.
IT DON’T MATTER WHAT ANY BODY SAY THE MUSIC WAS BANGING,IT’S GOTTA BE A NEW M.J. KANYE WEST BOUT TO BIGGER THAN JAY Z AFTER THIS ONE.
Ignorant niggas won’t understand this video so don’t even bother trying to explain anything to them because it’s pointless, just like talking to the wall.
Music was good, everything else was bad..this isnt a movie because movies make sense..this was jus a musical dats suppose to build ur anticpation for his album
RawNess On Fire Fire Fire… Loving It Loving It Loving It.
PEACE…
So many stupid ignorant ass ppl commenting and just hatin on That Nigga Right Now! Roc4Life! Yeezy be ez on these dumbass kids talkin about “weird” u fuckin crazy!? G.O.O.D. MUSIC!
There is open racism in video that’s in plain sight. What I don’t understand is people could make the worst shit in the world and people call it art, or they’ll say othet people won’t understand it. I know it’s the worst shit I’ve ever seen hands down.
GoodNBad said :
“Music was good, everything else was bad..this isnt a movie because movies make sense..this was jus a musical dats suppose to build ur anticpation for his album”
Umm this wasn’t a movie and never was meant to be one, it’s an short film. But I won’t even bother try to explain what this was about because you sound ignorant to me and you can’t even spell properly.
Go back listening to your dumbed down rappers AKA WAKA FLOCKA and Soulja Boy with LIL B
LMAO! THIS NIGGA YEE GOT WHITE PEOPLE SERVING HIS FOOD!!! HAHAHA! PAY ATTENTION. LOL
Yooo breaking news!
Lil wayne got released from jail today. And went straight back in it for possession of gun and smoking a blunt lol
kanye west is a BOZO
alot of you people are stupid as fuck yo!! you dont get it?? whats not to get???? the message is waking the fuck up and stop trying to change people, places or things from what they appear to be and accept them for what they are. alot of you mothafuckas be ready to yell “im real” but if a big bitch who loves u with all her might dont look like beyonce, you aint goin cause she is not what u want but you want something real! this teaches acceptance, teaches morals, to not turn the other cheek cause its not what your use to. then all this demonic shit all you fake ass christians can hang up cause you losers sin every single day you judge this man, drink, smoke weed, tat yo self up, speak Gods name in vein, fuck with out engagement, everything. thats why hip hop and the world is fucked up, ya are simple minded! Good shit Kanye
kanye makes great music but what the hell is wrong with him talking about demos and the devil so much he never says anything about god
@corey
see: jesus walks (the college dropout)
get back to me after u listen to those lyrics
lol i have to admit that maybe i’m just not as bright as some of you on here.Since a lot of ppl are calling this movie great and a work of genius..would you just mind explaining this whole entire tthing to me please..what the fuck happened? what did i just watch? what ws the story line and why was it so great?
Can not believe how many uneducated people we got here. Did you not learn anything in school about deciphering a movie or art ?
@King TUT you are 100% spot on…
Peace.
@King TUT you are 100% right…
Peace.
the beat he made at 6:00 was fire
Selita Ebanks is fukkn hot…I like the way her titties bounce in 6:20. The only way Kanye could have topped this if she was naked….I got the video for the most part…Kanye is a very imaginative dude.
The Phoenix is represented as Satan, he made a short film which was a tale about how Satan is frowned upon and descriminated against… its like one of those tales where we are made to feel sorry for the villian. Some of you are talking about its so artistic but the main point he is trying to tell is over heads. The scene where they are sitting at the table is like the 12 desciple (last supper), noticed how the Phoenix ate the bread before everyone else?
Come on people. This movie was made by the same guy who said he sold his soul to the devil. The same guy who said MJ was bigger than Jesus Christ! Kanye is so quick to talk about how the blogs and new programs are dark and evil…but hes the same way. I mean…its just stupid. Hes trying too hard. Hes trying to hard to be different and artistic and creative. BYou cant be artistic or creative it has to be YOU! This is just silly and demonic. I miss the old Kanye.
wow kanye getting on that pink floyd the wall shit!!cant knock him though but please stop calling him MJ DAMMMMMMM!!
@ Really? It is good you are using your imagination cause that is what art is doing to one, but you got it all wrong !
You are probably inspired by all the crazy stuff you are talking about but this is probably more a comment about Hip Hop that inspired Hype Williams. The Phoenix being Hip Hop, the one you love but has to burn, only to rise from the ashes.
Hip Hop inspires me, not crazy talk.
Peace.
@Ed I dont understand at all what your saying. Something about my imagination…then Hype Williams….? What?
@Ed the truth inspires me. Lol as for you…your fooled. Funk Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop aint what it was….its this crazy Kanye film now. And it sucks. You say your “inspired” by hip-hop, but this aint Hip-hop at all. People so quick to say people are crazy. But Ed the truth hurts, and no one likes pain.
Very good Big Brother, Nice can’t wait 4 part Deuces!!!!!!
Ur Lil Sis Angel!!!!!!!!
Its funnie,people watch a few you tube videos of the illumanati,or what ever the fuck dumb ass conspiracy theory viral film and think they know every thing about demons and symbols.Shut the fuck up with that shit and read a book instead of all these fake ass forms of alternative media and special intrest groups,most of y’all don’t know shit you talking about,let alone a demon or whatever the fuck y’all think is popular at the moment,listen to the music and shut the fuck up.These rappers and in no cult you dumb believe anything ass kids..Shut the fuck up and stay of you tube looking up dumb shit.Learn how to make some money and take care of your self,you dumb muthafuckas,all this demonic talk and illumanti,STFU all u fucks saying that shit..FUCKIN IDIOTS..
This man is a mf Genius
Well every thing that kanye says is evil ok he is showing u guys it plane as day get it together people his shit does not have any meaning he could not explain any thing that happened in that short stupid story yall are talkin like yall kno wat it ment it was bullshit work not art bullshit work no art he just had flames and a lots of dancers and yall say that’s dope yall are some stupid fuck yall need to read and educate yall self man. Work on that then go back and understand wat he is trying to do nothing but poison yall art art art explain to me wat part of that shit was art

BOOOOOORRRINNNNNGGGG!!! This dude is so out of style
I loved it…beautifully done!
lost for words but i will say this is beautiful lol and i understand the meaning…………. @rojeio
how the hell is this demonic? people need to stop being so ignorant. youre doing exactly what kanye is trying to say we need to stop doing in the video. the video is about not changing people and accepting them for who they are, point blank.
the phoneix is not a demon at all, it’s a greek mythological creature. its a bird who lives for 1000 years, then it burns and dies but comes back to life. has nothing to do with demons or angels so stop being so judgemental. no one should be able to judge anyone except God, especially when it comes to religion. if you people would actually do your research, the illuminati started hundreds of years ago in germany, and they were for making people equal and giving people freedom, but the government didnt like that so they told people that they were devil worshippers. it would make sense that kanye is in the illuminati, this whole video is about freedom and equality.
Who will survive in America? I think this quote sums it all up. Every leader and achiever has had a phoenix experience where you must die to your natural self, burn, rise from the ashes(old self) at all cost sacrificing love, materialism, pride, fame.. inorder to evolve into our higher selves. What afterall is self-actualization without some form of death…
In essence, I think the video is genius, artsy and imaginative the vision far exceeds the messager.
That Shit Was Cazy I Loved It Keep It Up Kanye Crazy Album Too Best Rapper Alive Naw Fuck That Best Rapper Ever This Nigga Got 5 Great Albums Ain’t Nobody Fucking With Ye Name One Person See U Can’t Do It U Can’t Compare Ye To Nobody Ya Dig This The Only Rapper I Fuck With Now Fuck The Rest
