Kanye West draws our attention to racism in his new work Black Skinhead (BLKKK SKKKN HEAD). The track is included into the rapper’s 2013 studio album, Yeezus. It has been positively accepted by music critics being called a “a galloping punk-rap manifesto” and also one of the best songs from the album. The Black Skinhead music video is a rather creepy one – all in black, with flashes of barking dogs and odd figures in hoods. It is also an interactive video, which the viewer can control. If you are interested, refer to the Black Skinhead music video and lyrics below. Do you think it is one of Kanye West’s best works?

Kanye West – Black Skinhead Song Words
For my theme song, my leather black jeans on
My by any means on, pardon I’m getting my scream on
Enter the kingdom but watch who you bring home
They see a black man with a white woman at the top floor they gone come to kill King Kong
Middle America packed in, came to see me in my black skin
Number one question they asking, f-ck every question you asking
If I don’t get ran out by Catholics, here come some conservative Baptists
Claiming I’m overreacting like them black kids in Chiraq b-tch
Four in the morning, and I’m zonin’
They say I’m possessed, it’s an omen
I keep it 300, like the Romans
300 b-tches, where’s the Trojans?
Baby we livin’ in the moment

I’ve been a menace for the longest
But I ain’t finished I’m devoted
And you know it, and you know it
So follow me up cause this sh-t’s about to go down
I’m doin’ 500, I’m outta control now
But there’s nowhere to go, now
And there’s no way to slow down
If I knew what I knew in the past
I would have been blacked out on your ass
Four in the mornin’, and I’m zonin’
They say I’m possessed, it’s an omen
I keep it 300, like the Romans
300 b-tches, where’s the Trojans?
Baby we livin’ in the moment
I’ve been a menace for the longest
But I ain’t finished, I’m devoted
And you know it, and you know it
Stop all that goon sh-t, early morning cartoon sh-t
This is that goon sh-t, f-ck up your whole afternoon sh-t
I’m aware I’m a wolf, soon as the moon hit
I’m aware I’m a king, back out the tomb b-tch
Black out the room b-tch, stop all that coon sh-t
These n-ggas ain’t doin’ sh-t, these n-ggas ain’t doin’ sh-t
Come on, homie, what happened?
You n-ggas ain’t breathing you gasping
These n-ggas ain’t ready for action
(Ready, ready for action)
Four in the mornin’, and I’m zonin’
I think I’m possessed, it’s an omen
I keep it 300, like the Romans
300 b-tches, where’s the Trojans?
Baby we’re livin’ in the moment
I’ve been a menace for the longest
But I ain’t finished, I’m devoted
And you know it, and you know it
So follow me up cause this sh-t’s about to go down
I’m doin’ 500, I’m outta control now
But there’s nowhere to go, now
And there’s no way to slow down
If I knew what I knew in the past
I would’ve been blacked out on your ass
God [11x]
