Kanye "Little Mac" West has finally unveiled the official "Black Skinhead" on his website. Aside from a few added transitions of CGI dobermans snarling and some removed CG-eyes that peered out of the periphery, it is the exact same video that leaked earlier this month. That leak prompted a string of tweets from the now-Twitter terse West, who moaned, "Me and Nick Knight have been working on this video for 5 months and for creatives it's heartbreaking when something like this happens."

Once prolific tweeter Kanye West has again taken to Twitter to vaguely explain yesterday's "Black Skinhead" video debacle. The video, which appeared not on his own official site as we initially reported but a site run by his label group Universal Music, he says was unfinished and prematurely leaked. To whomever is responsible, West tweeted "FUK YOU!" That person doesn't even deserve a full "FUCK," that's how low he or she is.

Kanye West Shows His Giant Sims Dick in Pulled “Black Skinhead” Video

Earlier today, Kanye West posted the official video for the Yeezus single "Black Skinhead" on his official site. [Update: MTV News points out that the site on which the video was posted is actually a Universal Music Group "development" page.] It features a CGI Kanye dancing to song's Gary Glitter-esque shuffle. It's bad. Really bad. It looks kind of like The Sims or maybe an interstitial from Tekken 2. It's definitely not polished enough for Just Dance. "This is that goon shit / Fuck up your whole afternoon shit," snarls Kanye, but this video wouldn't even fuck up your brunch.
