Kanye West - "Black Skinhead" [Official Video]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Kanye West is back to shock the world with the official video for "Black Skinhead" - the pounding lead single from his latest LP Yeezus. The video arrives after the brief reign of an unofficial clip that was floated around the internet much to Kanye's chagrin. The official footage directed by Nick Knight features Kanye West in stylized black & white digital animation that lands somewhere in close proximity to the Tupac hologram, but plays with a dark ferocity that definitely keeps it "300 like the Romans". The interactive video allows users to play with the speed and size of the images. The video's official debut follows a recent tussle with paparazzi at LAX late last week during which Kanye West reportedly attempted to take a photographer's camera. The incident prompted the photographer involved in the exchange with West to call paramedics and later file charges against him. There has been no word from Kanye West regarding his ongoing beef with the legion of prying photographers. Check the clip below to view the official video for Kanye West's "Black Skinhead." Stay tuned for more from Yeezus.
