Daft Punk Write Another Song For Kanye West

Staff Writer

'Black Skinhead' gets the midas DP touch

More Daft Punk Daft Punk

Seems Kanye West has been swept up in Daft Punk fever just like the rest of us. The rapper has enlisted the French duo's magic touch on his new track Black Skinhead.

The song is off his upcoming album Yeezus. The pairing of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have been listed as co-writers, something very alert fans noticed on the credits when West performed the track recently on an episode of Saturday Night Live, NME has reported.

What do you guys think? Can you hear the Daft Punk influence on it? A bit hard to tell with West screaming at us, but we kinda like the intense as fuck attitude he's got going on...

According to the article, the duo and West have recorded two tracks together recently, so there very well could be another DP collab on the record besides Black Skinhead.

This isn't the only time West has used the power of Daft Punk to score himself a monster hit. His 2007 song Stronger featured heavy sampling of the duo's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.
