i’m obsessed w this instrumental . it gives off such red carpet , paparazzi , “flashing lights” vibes . it makes me want to go to sleep and have an amazing dream . lol
Kanye is such a great producer that this beat (from 2007) is better than any trap beat of the last 10 years I’ve never seen nobody mixed pop, electro and hip hop like Kanye did in Flashing Lights

Cube Kanye west added the sample but the beat and the melody was made Eric Hudson. Kanye heard this beat playing from another record room and just had to have it. Google it.
@@ireesedotcom All i got was an XXL interview w Eric saying Kanye layered the drum pattern he made with strings and synths....which pretty much makes the song what it is now... So nah. Kanye produced Flashing Lights as much as Eric Hudson did.
@@emmanuelontiveros8094 very true, and then he came with 808s which is what the industry sounds like now back then...kanye west is an icon and has major influence love him or hate him
@@troythemakyr literally anyone in the industry. All we get is overproduced pop garbage now. “Don’t nothin get straightenin but straightenin” is the chorus to the most popular rap song. Substance is non existent in these new songs and is catered towards white teens.

I remember hearing the actual song (not the instrumental) on the radio as a kid while in California on vacation with my family, and playing Pokémon Platinum on my DS while it was cloudy outside while were headed to a relative's house for a party. The bright gray and white sky, combined with this song while I played Pokémon Platinum was pure and utter perfection. ❤
Its a Friday afternoon, you've finished work,the sun is out and you drive your car listening to this as your soundtrack for the journey. Driving through the countryside with all the windows down,breeze blowing looking forward to watching the sun setting over the seaside with a nice cool drink and a big sigh. Life is 👍 good
It's sounds like extreme highs and sad lows. People are doubting that you can make it but the paparazzi are flashing and people are cheering and you remember you have what it takes
You just became a millionaire, life is good, you have the girl of your dreams, you’re speeding through the streets of Beverly Hills in your new Porsche at night looking at the sky with this song on the radio and you mumble “life is good” while wind goes through your hair and you stare of into the night sky.
This beat is so incredibly pretty, flashy and glitzy but carries a certain bittersweet sadness underneath it. Like a farewell that didn't have to be, but we have to move on with our life, there's not much time. It's superhero-esque. Grand, larger than life. Dramatic and theatrical. This song can only be the product of Kanye's singular genius. Who has ever made rap music that sounded like this? To this day, this song remains timeless but also still clearly of its time. This is a landmark and masterpiece of pop rap. One of my favorite Kanye songs for sure.
This is what it sounds like to be successful and rich.
✨And Classy n' Chic✨
Im gonna play this song the second I become successful and rich
Another instrumental is Amsterdam by Rick Ross with that feeling bro
Lol
Khorne Bezerker That’s funny. That’s the sound of success and riches. I’d hate to know the sounds of poor, broke, and lonely...
This is one of the best beats in history idc 😵
Yeah bro, the beat is so well made!

Ikr true

Kanye didnt make this beat. He bought it and threw a vocals on it “flashing Lights”

makes you feel you on the top huh?
Soap opera shit. like a fairy tale come true
idk maybe youre just destined to be lonely
I understand your comment 😂
At the top issa lonely place
This sounds like Las Vegas and neon lights
This what space sound like
This song and I wonder captures the cover of the album perfectly.
☝️🤓 well actually there is no sound in space so get your facts straight 😐
this is exactly what goes through my mind
Arguably one of the best Kanye beats. Fits a feeling that almost no one has even come close to. Its sounds like a child dreams coming true.
It ain’t no argument to me 😭🐐
@@MeasuredingrahamsDiamonds from Sierra Leone?

Just tested negative for COVID and I went straight to this ✊
One of the best beats ever
3:31 hits so hard man
YES!
When ass stop clapping
this is the only version we can listen to now
They should make more songs like this 👌
whos “they”
@@troythemakyr literally anyone in the industry. All we get is overproduced pop garbage now. “Don’t nothin get straightenin but straightenin” is the chorus to the most popular rap song. Substance is non existent in these new songs and is catered towards white teens.
Fr Kanye is the Michael Jackson of hiphop
listen to Flume - You & Me or Tennis Court
You can listen to l.e.s by childish bambino both have the same tempo and chord progression your sure to like it
The strings are just so beautiful, I know they're probably synthetic but still.
Why should that matter? If it sounds good it sounds good
They're not actually, all the violinists are credited.
It's a live strings section, on the official Flashing Lights video description it lists all the individual orchestra members
actually no he got a whole crew playing the violin you can see him in his channel giving credits to all the producers
That snare / clap combo is so good
Imagine walking in a all gold palace and this start playing.
Or walking above the clouds during a setting sun... a purple & orange sky 🌅
(Like the album cover)

...a gold palace with a pool of liquid gold at that 🤩 because:

one of the best instrumentals of all time really
The greatest beat. Ever.
What a great beat frfr. Kanye was 10x ahead of his generation
This song is such a vibe.
This soundtrack clears up everything it makes you new and full of energy.
One of those instrumentals you better not write to....truly beautiful by itself
0:00 hits me when I listen to this for real bruh😦
I been listening to this since a kid, but Ye is one of the most talented producers of all time we all know it
This beat is so ethereal

I've heard an absolute PLETHORA and I mean plethora of music, and 0:31 is the best piece of music I've ever heard
To name a few of who I've heard theyre entire discographys
Nirvanas
System of a downs
Kanyes
Eminems
Death grips'
Sick beat
THE BEST BEAT EVER FUCKING MADE
This is the soundtrack to decadence and opulence
The feeling of having it all
Fame fortune applause adulation
Knowing you are in the elusive bracket of the rich
The glitz the glamour has jaded you
Surrounded by people who only want to latch on to the fame and stardom
But deep inside your soul there’s an emptiness
A loneliness
Fears thoughts of losing it all
The cameras glare is now too bright
The pressure to remain on top builds
Friends family love all becoming ghosts
All because of the flashing lights
Ye
This is deadass low key better than some of the actual bars in the song, lol
Dang, that’s what the song should’ve been about. 😮
Its crazy we are still talking about this beat in 2022! It's over 10 years old. Love this song. Great to get you motivated in the morning.
2023 now...

On repeat as I love it so much. The strings just soothe me. Kanye you genius🙏
You can be in absolutely dire straits, but listening to Kanye's music, you feel enriched beyond the heights of wealth
This is so suspenseful ❤
I miss this decade
This beat makes me sad
well.. it is in a minor key so…
The intro to this WONDERFUL song reminds me of when you on the ps3 homescreen and you hover over the game and the lil trailer plays (iykyk)
Still one of the best instrumentals of that decade. Definitely my top ten.
Pure magic
This makes me want to become rich and have this sound in my luxurious VIP party
Thank you so much Mr.West
Kanye West is the GOAT
Even without the lyrics I can still sing the entire song
0:18 forever my favorite part
This beat is bananas..one if da smoothest beats of all times! Props to kanye he was on his shit with this production 👍
Those strings get me every time.
When you score the highest in your whole class
I heard this in ads before (without kanyes voice) and I never even knew this song was kanye west until it was on my recommended
Thank you Mr.West
For me this sound gives me the most nostalgic and melancholic vibe.
0:30 please this part is too good for me 😭
The subtle strings at 3.16. No one does track progression and outros like Kanye.
I love this song. This reminds me of my cousin, Oliver. May God be with him.
please post the glory bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
