Highlights from Kanye's Ustream

With over 50 music videos to his name, West chose 2007's "Flashing Lights" off his Graduation album as his favorite.

"My personal favorite music video, I don't know if I've ever said this in an interview, it's 'Flashing Lights,'" Yeezy revealed in his UStream broadcast. "Hands down. Like, by a mile. My personal favorite is 'Flashing Lights.' Actually, I got the same outfit from 'Flashing Lights' on right now. It was like the references, I loved all those simple images with the woman looking so powerufl and even though she's nude, it wasn't submissive in any way and that was one of the things on 'Flashing Lights' that this woman was so powerful when she hopped out of the car and we used a real American, Americana type car instead of trying to be extra sophisticated with some fancy new car. She had the mink coat with the lingerie, and her body was just my taste. And it was way different than what's in the magazines nowadays and what the fashion world says is hot. As you know, my taste is completely different. It's hood, I'm straight Chicago...It's kind of the brand that I want to put out. Even when we did the 'Power' shoot, the girls, some of the girls when they came to the set, they were shocking to some of the makeup artists because they hadn't seen girls with that level of body. Of course if we go to any club in the hood, World Star Hip Hop or something, you see that type of thing but in a world where it's breaking into the art and fashion world, they hadn't seen that."

West also talked about being inspired by some famous celebrities.

And that's what I love. I love bringing my opinion to different places that hadn't seen that before. One of the hardest things and what I think is the most successful art -- is when it just connects across the board which is one of the hardest things to do. I always use the example of people like Will Smith and Marc Jacobs, people that can connect multi-culturally, that the work that they do can connect with the souls of so many...and when I make my music, every song, every line, I want to connect in that way. But be a hundred percent me. A hundred percent what I'm feeling." (UStream)
