Kanye West & Rihanna: "All Of the Lights" Music Video

No werewolves or dead ladies here, folks. Just a lot of lights. And we mean a lot of lights. In fact — all of ‘em. Two months after Rihanna tweeted a glimpse of herself with director Hype Williams on the set of “All Of The Lights,” the actual video has landed! It begins with a stark, solemn black-and-white shot of a young girl making her way through the snow-covered projects, set to the song’s downbeat instrumental opening. But if you think the ambitious Runaway won’t make good on his promise to turn on “All Of The Lights” and then some, you obviously don’t know Kanye West from Jane Austen. Check it out below.

As the video switches from moody B&W to a full-on assault of color typography introducing the artists, it’s clear that the immodest rapper has not turned minimalist on us. Then we get the lyrics in all kinds of crazy fonts and colors, like an acid trip at a karaoke bar. And just when we think ‘Ye might be content to just rip off Cee-Lo’s wordy “F*** You” video in an even flashier fashion, we get actual Kanye. Actual Rihanna. Actual Kid Cudi. And, still, a hell of a lot of lights
