Almost three million YouTube hits in just over 48 hours and they've done it again. OK Go , a pretty average American indie band who enjoyed a fair amount of success in the early days of their career are once again the hottest name about the Internet. Back in 2005, when the band released their intricately choreographed video for ' A Million Ways ', things began to change for the Chicago four piece. The viral success of the video led the band to heights of fame they'd never before experienced, and over the past 6 years, their clips have [...]
Photo Credit: Rukes for Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas 2011 I know, I know. We’re all a little bit sick of this one. Some of you will undoubtedly still be loving Cazzette’s Dubby Step Bootleg. But think back to the summer when this track first came out – admit it, you sang along at the top of your lungs. With John Martin of Miike Snow providing vocals, you couldn’t help it. No EDM fan can deny chanting the OHHWO-OOH vocal. You’re lying [...]

10. Kanye West - All of the Lights Even though I love this video, the concept was pretty much taken from Gaspar Noé’s award-winning psycho-thriller , Enter the Void 's opening credits. I guess to Hype Williams, copying is a form of flattery. 9. Lana Del Rey - Born to Die 8. Metronomy - The Bay 7. The Strokes - Taken for a Fool [...]

Some call it the "Oscars for youth," but realistically, the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) feel more like crack for gossipers. Controversy! Chaos! Glam! Anything can happen. It used to be waiting anxiously for Madonna's next "big move," whether it was her flashing some ass or offering some tongue. (Gross? Hardly.) Nowadays, it's more about who's going to screw up, what will be the grand upset, and, admittedly, who's going to be the next "Kanye." Keywords, people: sex and drama. But that's always been the case with the VMAs. Wait, you don't actually think it's a special award? [...]

Tweet Hype puts me right off. If everyone is going on about something I generally give it a miss because I just know it’s going to suck. On occasion I’m forced to experience the thing everyone’s going on about against my will and that rarely ends well. My mind’s already made up: I’m going to hate it. This is exactly what happened on a trip to the movies last year. My friends wanted to see The Social Network . [...]
I know I posted the above video already but it's such an epic song and the video can be described in the same light. Now after watching that, I got a few "All of the Lights" songs for you including one with Lil Wayne, Big Sean and Drake rapping to
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Josh Ostroff for AOL SXSW 's longstanding nickname "Indie Rock Spring Break" certainly wasn't accurate during the final day of the Austin music festival as hip-hop took over the Texas town, culminating in Kanye West 's not-so-secret show in the city's former power plant. After a day marked by stellar sets from Big Boi at the MOG showcase at the Mohawk; Killer Mike [...]

Lil Wayne, Drake and Big Sean didn't get invited to the superstar bash that was 'All Of The Lights' so have thrown an even better after party on the remix. Big Sean shows his boss that he's a worthwhile prodigy as Kanye takes the day off for this one. Download the edit here

Somebody give Kanye West some valium please because the man is in over-over-over-drive. The amazing 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' continues to be a hit machine and his latest video instalment is typically bombastic. 'All Of The Lights' features Elton John for christ sake and even has a, believe it or not, decent Fergie lyric. This is also [...]

Kanye West's video for "All Of The Lights" featuring Rihanna and Kid Cudi made its debut on February 18th, but has since had a warning label placed before it. With all of the flashing lights in the video, it's no wonder that it actually causes seizures! The video had been criticized for not carrying any type of warning for epilepsy sufferers, prompting British charity group, Epilepsy Action to speak out. Now, on the Youtube [...]
Video for the newest Kanye banger "All of the Lights" directed by the great Hype Williams. Who doesn't like Hype Williams videos?!? Seriously... so cool.
When the Hype Williams-directed video for Kanye West's " All of the Lights " appeared last week, most viewers have differing opinions on it. Some saw it as straight-up entertainment while others thought it was boring, gaudy, and a rip-off of 2009 French film Enter the Void . But one thing we could all agree on was the video's flashiness. Like, ridiculous levels of flashiness. We're talking seizure-inducing shit here. And that's no joke, either. It was removed from YouTube briefly because of a complaint from Epilepsy Action, a United Kingdom-based agency, that [...]
