The partnership of Nick Knight and Kanye West is one of the must-see unholy alliances of the moment. Their latest joint venture, the video for “Blkkk Skkkn Head,” off of West’s new album, Yeezus, arrived today on KanyeWest.com. Why the Web site-only upload? Only on Kanye’s site does the video have its full functionality, allowing viewers (on some browsers, at least) to speed up or slow down the track and video, and to capture stills from it to upload to their various social media feeds. (The snapshot button is an Instagram icon.) As in-your-face as that share button may be, it’s one of the few ways you still can get some Kanye of your own. The product of West’s other recent unholy alliance, his capsule collection with A.P.C., has already sold out.
