Kanye West paints it black in his latest music.
Pitch black.
RELATED LISTEN KANYE WEST DEBUTS NEW SONG AT MET GALA
The two songs West debuted Saturday night as the musical guest of SNL assault the listener with the angriest hardest and most confrontational music of his career. Which is saying something.
Both songs Black Skinhead and Slave roil with dark stabbing synth lines and rock hard electro shock beats. While West has worked with electronic music for years most prominently with stars like Daft Punk and Kid Cudi his latest songs sound more like an existential industrial rock outburst from Nine Inch Nails. In fact Skinhead uses a sample from NIN's prot g Marilyn Manson (from his song The Beautiful People ).

The songs will be featured on West's upcoming CD rumored to come out June 18th under the name Yeesus. Earlier reports had the album appearing under an even more blasphemous title I Am A God.
On Friday night West projected a video for the song Slave onto buildings around the world. In New York the clip appeared in at 14th St. and 10th Ave. in the Meatpacking District. The strikingly minimalist clip presents a close up of Kanye's face shot in high contrast black and white snarling out the lyrics. As a backdrop images of barking dogs and looming shadows surround him.

The lyrics to Skinhead find Kanye rapping about being a black man dating a white woman making obvious reference to his relationship with Kim Kardashian. The words to Slave have already been misinterpreted by many commenters on YouTube While some think West is describing himself as a new kind of slave the lyrics make clear he's talking about the materialism that chains people to objects and acquisitions.
