last night, kanye west shut down twitter with his performances on SNL, sending fans running on either ends of the “love/hate” spectrum. i’ll go ahead and say this: i’m loving how aggressive these new songs, and i’m glad he’s branching out (as if he never does), but i hope the social commentary isn’t taking over this album. that being said, both of these performances were phenomenal and memorable, just as you’d expect from kanye west in the visual/performance art aspect. up top, “blk skn head,” a track that samples marilyn manson’s “beautiful people,” and below is “new slaves,” the track he premiered globally last night.
oh yeah, the album’s called yeezus and drops in a month on june 18th. YEEZY SEASON IS UPON US AND EVERYONE IS TUNED IN REGARDLESS.
EDIT: the album artwork for ‘Yeezus’ can be seen below the jump.

i know posting a kanye west video 12 hours after it hit the internet is damn near sacrilege, but “BEAR” with me. i’m in chicago, and unfortunately missed the wrigley field premiere because i suck at everything.
anyway, he projected a video of himself rapping a new song, “new slaves” on 66 buildings across the globe in a grand fashion. the video above recants the prada/NYC premiere, where kanye west was spotted watching the crowd watch his premiere, engaging in a masturbation on kanye west is capable of.
for the video of the song by itself, go here.

i’m usually very weary of bands when they get a little pretentious, and this band’s name is no exception. however, upon previewing “beverly wyatt,” i kinda enjoyed myself. sure enough, top shelf records is releasing the band’s new album, whenever, if ever, which is available to stream in its entirety.
the album drops on june 18th. so yeah – a bit of an early stream, huh?
