But now you've got an artist (Kanye) who makes a hot song and before he can even release his video for the song, another artist (Colin Munroe) has made a remixed version of the song and posted it on YouTube. Actually, I had never even heard of Colin Munroe prior to watching this video so I am not sure if he's has any musical work that was released prior to this. What I do know is that this version of Flashing Lights is pretty decent and I like the video. Knowing Kanye Tuda, even though he was shooting a video for the song as recently as two weeks ago, he'll probably get a look at this video and go back and revamp his video for the original version. We all know how Kanye gets about his videos.
Nevertheless, I found it amusing that someone beat Kanye to the punch on the video for this song and it wasn't some shiddy low-budget video somebody shot at home with their camcorder. This video might end up being better than Kanye's version, although I doubt it.
Check it out for yourself.

Yeah I can see Kanye doing something like this... He won't cuz he's real big on that "not copying/being bigger than everything else"-type deal, but yeah I see it.
I liked the song before I heard Colin's turn at it. I must say Colin's take fits right into the alterna-phase I'm in right now. Nice.
Flashing Lights is definitely my favorite song off the album and I think this remix of the song is just as good as Kanye's version.
