Kanye West gets assassinated in MF DOOM's latest music video

A new, animated video for MF DOOM and DJ Mugg's track 'Assassination Day' portrays the fictional assassination of Kanye West as he runs for President of the United States in 2020.

The ominous and sluggish track is accompanied by a black-and-white video, directed by Muggs himself, follows an assassin dressed up as a janitor who sets up shop with their sniper rifle near a rally for "president hopeful West." After being gunned down during his campaign speech, the video cuts to an off-putting depiction of Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin laughing at the television screen as the drama unfolds.

Watch the music video below.
