Questo è uno di quei casi. Parlo di "All of the lights" (ascolta) ultimo singolo di Kanye West, datato 19 Febbraio 2011 (per quanto riguarda la premiere del video), estratto da "My beautiful twisted dark fantasy", ultimo album dell'artista meno commerciale dal solito in cui da spazio a sperimentazioni e osa sonorità sempre nuove.
Questo singolo lo vedete dal titolo vede la collaborazione di Rihanna (onnipresente ormai) e Kid Cudi. Ma soprattutto c'è una piccola cosa che non si nota dal video semi testuale ma che quando ci da dentro con le immagini sbalordisce e non solo per Rihanna.

Parlando del video, bellissimo l'intro (che probabilmente verrà molto spesso tagliato, ma non per questo merita di passare inosservato. in bianco e nero, davvero ben fatto, degno di un piccolo cortometraggio.
Scommetto che avete notato anche voi il tatuaggio a forma di pistola di Rihanna...
Testo| Lyrics
All of the lights (all of the lights)
(Lights, lights)
All of the lights (all of the lights)
[Rihanna]
Turn up the lights in here baby
Extra bright, I want y'all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need
Want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights
(all of the lights)
Fast cars, shooting stars
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
Until it's Vegas everywhere we are
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
If you want it you can get it for the rest of your life
If you want it you can get it for the rest of your life
[Kanye West]
Something wrong
I hold my head
MJ gone...our n-gga dead!
I slapped my girl, she called the feds
I did that time and spent that bread
I'm heading home, I'm almost there
I'm on my way, heading up the stairs
To my surprise, a n-gga replacing me
I had to take 'em to that ghetto university
[Chorus]
All of the lights
Cop lights, flash lights, spot lights
Strobe lights, street lights
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
Fast life, drug life
Thug life, rock life
Every night
(all of the lights)
[Rihanna]
Turn up the lights in here, baby
Extra bright, I want y'all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need, want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights
[Kanye West]
Restraining order
Can't see my daughter
Her mother, brother, grandmother hate me in that order
Public visitation
We met at Borders
Told her she take me back
I'll be more supportive
I made mistakes
I bump my head
Courts suck me dry
I spent that bread
She need a daddy
Baby please, can't let her grow up in that ghetto university
[Chorus]
All of the lights
Cop lights, flash lights, spot lights
Strobe lights, street lights
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
Fast life, drug life
Thug life, rock life
Every night
(all of the lights)
[Rihanna]
Turn up the lights in here, baby
Extra bright, I want y'all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need, want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights
[Kid Cudi]
Getting mine, baby
Gotta let these n-ggas know, yeah
Get it right, ay
You should go and get your own
Getting mine, baby
Gotta let these n-ggas know, yeah
Get it right, ay
You should go and get your own
[Fergie]
Unemployment line, credit card declined
Did I not mention I was about to lose my mind?
(my mind, my mind, my mind)
And also was about to do that line
Okay, okay, you know we going all the way this time
(this time, this time, this time)
We going all the way this time
(time, time, time, time)
We going all the way this time
We going all the way this time
We going all the way this time
Turn up the lights in here, baby
Extra bright, I want y'all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need, want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights

Un commento, anche uno solo, è il più bel regalo che un blogger possa ricevere. In un blog si parla di tutto e di tutti, si scherza, si ride e ci si diverte. Ma soprattutto mi auguro che anche voi vi divertiate.
La felicità è un piccolo fuocherello, un colpo di vento, una calpestata senza attenzione e tutto finisce in fumo.
Ecco perché prima di commentare vi invito a rileggere quello che avete scritto, un po' come quando entrando a casa di altri ci si pulisce le scarpe sullo zerbino e si chiede permesso.
Per questo non sono accettate volgarità, insulti, commenti troppo pesanti. Io, lettori, vi lascio la porta aperta, non dovete bussare per entrare, ma chiedo solo che siate i più rispettosi possibili, nei confronti di tutti. È facile farsi prendere la mano ed è difficile fermarsi 2 secondi sopra lo zerbino. Ma il tempo che dedicherete all'educazione non sarà mai tempo sprecato.
Qualsiasi commento che non rispetti le regole di una conversazione rilassata, civile e tranquilla, verrà eliminato, non mi piace sgridare la gente e non sono qui per insegnare nulla a nessuno, ma se non trovate più il vostro commento vuol dire che forse aveva oltrepassato un o' il limite.
