“Black Skinhead” was picked as the first track from Kanye West’s Yeezus to get a music video. While Martin Scorsese and Paramount used the track in the great The Wolf of Wall Street trailer, West himself didn’t do such a great job. The video features a poorly animated version of the rapper and was actually pulled from the web.
According to The Wrap, the video was posted on his website Monday night, but disappeared. The black and white video features animated dogs, with an animated West rapping the song’s lyrics. The figure does look like West, but it looks like an old PC game and like it was hastily made.
All that appears on West’s site note is a close up of jeans with the words “A.C.P. Kanye,” confirming that he’s working with the jeans designer.
While it may be gone officially, the video was saved by a blogger, notes Papermag.com. That means that the video can still be the subject of jokes online. Gawker jokes that it looks worse than The Sims 2. The site even suggests that you can see CGI-West’s penis if you dare to look close enough.
