Kanye West was said to have been “heartbroken” that an unfinished version of his video for “Black Skinhead” leaked online last week but, as it turns out, it wasn’t that different from the official one, which came out minutes ago.

The only – and very important – difference between them, as far as I can tell, is the fact that the official video is interactive, which means the viewer can choose the speed of the video and the corresponding sound.

Directed by photographer Nick Knight, “Black Skinhead” includes startling imagery, which viewers can share and / or discuss on social media because the video also offers them the possibility of creating screenshots which they can later post online.

The full video is available at Kanye’s official website. *Please note that discretion is recommended because it still contains language and images that might offend.
