Kanye West Stirs Up Controversy With KKK Imagery In New "Black Skinhead" Music Video
Posted on Mon Jul 22nd, 2013 1:55pm PDT By X17 Staff
Did you expect anything less?! The interactive video for Kanye West's single "Black Skinhead" was just released, and the hot tempered rapper made sure to get people talking!
In the clip, the shirtless Yeezus lyricist is a black-and-white CGI version of himself as he lays down the song over the bass-heavy beat. Interspersed with shots of Kim K's beau are images of growling dogs and KKK members in black hoods, adding quite the edge to the already controversial tune!
Earlier this month, a leaked version of the clip hit the Internet, which caused Yeezy to hit the roof!
"The BLKKK SKKKN HD video that leaked yesterday was not the official version. Me and Nick Knight have been working on this video for 5 months and for creatives it's heartbreaking when something like this happens. The final version will be ready within the next week. So any websites that may have the unapproved/unfinished ruff. I ask you to please take it down. Allow me and Nick to give the world what we've been losing sleep over," he tweeted after the accidental debut.
Oh KW, we love you but you're so intense!
