Kanye West released the official version of his “Black Skinhead” music video Monday on his website. The Nick Knight-directed video is an interactive experience that allows viewers to take charge of how they watch it by adjusting the speed and sound. It also gives them the ability to capture portions of it through screen grabs.
Now fans can catch the version West intended for them to see, which includes an animated avatar of the rapper.
“Allow me and Nick to give the world what we’ve been losing sleep over,” he wrote.

Knight and West have teamed up for much of Yeezus‘ imagery, including the “guerrilla”outdoor projections of New Slaves.
