We have heard of posse cuts featuring five or six rappers on it but goddamn, the guest list for Kanye West's "All of the Lights" is absurdly long. I mean, come on, look at everyone who contributed vocals here: Rihanna, John Legend, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Alvin Fields, Ken Lewis, and Elton John. But, of course, most of us knew that already.

What we didn't know, though, is how it would be portrayed visually. Would the video include every singer? Or would Kanye pick and choose? As you can see in the above video, he went with the latter option and selected Kid Cudi and Rihanna as his primary guests in "All of the Lights." Hell, Yeezy even dropped the Fergie portion from the track to coincide with director Hype Williams' flashy-as-all-hell visuals. The video, as expected, is extremely entertaining, especially for those of you with crushes on RiRi. Her line, "Want you to see everything," gets taken to another level here.
