An alternate version of Kanye West’s Yeezus standout “Black Skinhead” surfaced online today containing additional vocals from Miley Cyrus. The track has been rumored since 2013, when The New York Post reported that Cyrus left her own VMA afterparty to head to the studio with Kanye and record the song.
The version that's being passed around also features Travis Scott’s signature autotuned wails and “straight up!” adlibs. Cyrus’ part includes an interpolation of Tears For Fears’ shimmering 1985 smash “Everybody Wants To Rule The World:” Acting on your worst behavior/ Turn your back on all your haters/ Everybody wants to rule the world. The double-time gallop of the original is replaced by a slower but more unpredictable rhythm.
Listen here. The FADER has reached out to reps for Kanye West and Miley Cyrus and awaits comment.
