ILLI MO BITZ





































Chicago reared rap superstar Kanye West has close to 
10 million Twitter followers — and they got 

an earful from the Yeezus rapper recently. West took to 
the social network to announce that the clip from the music 
video for his song
 “Black Skinhead” — at that time, rapidly spreading 
across the internet 
before getting pulled — was not an authorized release.

West, who is working on the video with fashion 
photographer Nick Knight, despite his earlier 
proclamations that there would  be no singles 
released off Yeezus, tweeted his dismay about the leak, 
“Me and Nick Knight have been working on this video for 
5 months and for creatives it’s heartbreaking when
something like this happens.” The link that was making 
the rounds on Monday took fans to a Universal Music 
Group WordPress development page that has since 
been password protected. It’s unclear whether the leak 
was a deliberate act or merely a technical glitch.

The widely circulated video features the visuals that 
West had unveiled during his performance at the 
Governor’s Ball festival in June, along with the same 
nightmarish imagery of snarling Dobermans and black 
KKK hoods, that have marked the aesthetics of his 
provocative Yeezus album and his performance on SNL
The clip also shows a shadowy, animated version of an
 extra-muscular West (shirtless, wearing a gold chain) 
rapping the angst-filled and fiery track from the new album
 and occasionally turning into various futuristic monsters. 
The computer-generated West dances and jumps — and 
even offers a glimpse of full-frontal nudity, continuing 
the provocative bent of West’s latest work.
The video was quickly yanked offline, though, and West 
took to Twitter to denouce the leaker and assure fans 
that a complete version of the video is on the way. West 
tweeted, “The final version will be ready within the next 
week.” He then asked, “So any website that may have 
the unapproved / unfinished ruff… I ask you to please 
take it down,”continuing “Allow me and Nick to give the 
world what we’ve been losing sleep over.”
As a final tweet, Kanye rightly railed against the person 
who leaked the clip: “And to who ever leaked the video,
 F– YOU!

































CHICAGO (AP) — Pop star Justin Bieber is listed as an 
underage guest on a citation that Chicago police issued to 
nightclub.
Chicago Department of Business Affairs and Consumer 
Protection spokeswoman confirmed Thursday that the 
19-year-old Bieber was listed as an underage guest on the 
citation. 
She says police cited Bodi nightclub early Wednesday for

AT THE BET AWARDS: Why did Chris Brown open the show? And why was his 
performance so BLAH?
Why did Mariah Carey lip synch? And why was Miguel performing far 
away from her? Why was ASAP 
wearing sagged out Capris? Why did it seem like Chris Tucker was 
prepared to host? Why was
El DeBarge mumbling on stage? And Why did Ron Isley look salty when 
Charlie Wilson was performing?

OTHER WHYS Why are people making the Zimmerman and Trayvon trial a 
racial thing and the case is 
about two people of color?
