Kanye West-Black Skinhead

I run out of superlatives when I talk about this song. Kanye West is back with a new album called Yeezus and Black Skinhead is a prime example of the raw talent and originality coming from the rapper in recent times. He is carrying hip-hop with his new material which very often pushes boundaries, just like Black Skinhead. The new single is daring, starting with some tribal drums and - strange as it seems - the sound of someone hyperventilating as backing instrument. West spits through the hook like the icon that he has become "I keep it 300, like the Romans/300 bitches, where the Trojans?" as he keeps using humourous, but intelligent lyrics. He then screams down the mic "And you know it, and you know it!". Kanye really shows his anger and rage in this song and its message comes through in the song. The rest of Yeezus might not be as perfect as this, but that is because Black Skinhead is up there with West's best ever. LISTEN.

Rating: 10/10
