ITS SUPPOSED TO BE ARTISTIC. Its metaphoric. You know until I saw the video I didn't know what the song was REALLY about. I need to listen to the entire album all over again.
How you miss that? yeah the whole song was a metaphor. I get the whole artistic thing, I'm not mad at that, I'm just mad that i literally couldn't see most of the video.
I'm just glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't see anything most of the video. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Is it just me or do ROC artists all sit in a room together and come up with basic schemes for their videos??
"I know" isn't 100% like "Flashing Lights" but its similar in the way Kanye is only seen for about 7 seconds in flashing lights and I don't think Hov is seen at all in "I know" (correct me if I'm wrong). Flashing lights leaves you hanging at the end even though you can take a pretty good guess as to what happens and "I know" has you wondering wtf is going on the entire time.
Nonetheless, great videos from 2 of hip hop's bestest...
Haha, I turned the brightness up all the way on my monitor and still couldn't see anything. It's not a bad video, it's just very ambitious and possibly a bit too abstract for mainstreamers.
Here's what "I Know"... I know that I had no idea what i was looking at for 80% of that video.
