Kanye's much awaited video for All of The Lights, track off My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, featuring Kid Cudi and Rhianna (with long red hair, which I'm still not sure about) but a good video. After the full length Runaway video which if you don't know was a basically a short which he co-wrote and directed and featured all the tracks off the album, and the cinematic black and white opening sequence I was expecting another (slightly pretentious) "visual representation" of the song - a lot of black and white long shots, pauses for dialogue, symbolism (a black-only banquet, served by caucasian servants, role reversal style, far from subtle) etc, so I was quite suprised when it drops and out comes Post-Graduation, 808's and Heartbreaks style neon. Whatever else you may hate about Kanye West you can't argue he constantly suprises.
