Kanye West took the stage last night for the season finale of Saturday Night Live last night, premiering two brand new singles from his upcoming sixth studio album. With songs like “Black Skinhead” and “New Slaves,” and an album reportedly entitled Yeezus, Kanye is as Kanye as he’ll ever be. Just like his previous appearance on SNL, Kanye’s performance was both iconic and mesmerizing. Leave it to Yeezy to turn a live act into a full theatrical affair. As I’ve mentioned in the past, Kanye seems to be aiming for a much darker tone with his latest effort (hard to believe considering his last album was called My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy). Check out the evidence below and let us know your thoughts about Yeezy’s recent performance and his upcoming album, set to drop in less than a month from now on June 18th.
