Listen To Six Seconds Of Kanye’s Terrifying New Album

Last week, we brought it to your attention that Kanye West had deleted all of his crazy tweets and replaced it with one that said ‘June Eighteen’. General consensus? The drop date for his sixth solo album.

Overnight, a story popped up on Rolling Stone describing the album — through “sources familiar with the project” — as “even darker and more twisted than 2010’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, with one song that drew comparisons to Nine Inch Nails.”

They also rounded up a few names of artists that popped by the studio while Yeezy was recording, including 2 Chainz (who called the music “dope”), John Legend (“His only goal in this whole thing is to make something beautiful – that’s his North Star.”), Skrillex, and members of Odd Future. Oh, and Daft Punk. “It was very raw,” Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter says, of a recent studio session. “He was rapping – kind of screaming primally.”

And just now, a few Vines have emerged of his performance of new material at the punk-themed Met Gala, which wrapped up hours ago in New York. (West was wearing a star-studded ski-mask and a sparkly Givenchy top on-stage, because of course he was.)

This one, courtesy of Complex, was shot by A-Trak, and features a LOT of screaming. It wasn’t the only celebrity Vine taken at the Gala, but it was the most illuminating:

This one was shot by Canadian model Coco Rocha, who explained in the caption that he was serenading a very pregnant Kardashian — who was apparently in the front row:

And this Autotuned goodie comes from Aussie actress Theresa Palmer:

TURN THE SOUND UP ON ALL OF THEM AND JUST BLISS OUT, BROS! (Don’t do that, it’s awful.)
