Kanye West released his latest studio album, Yeezus, on Tuesday and his "brother-in-law" Scott Disick decided to help him promote his latest effort by appearing in a gory video inspired by the 2000 thriller film American Psycho.
West screened the video on the side of a building during an album listening party in Los Angeles on June 15.
In 2-minute the clip, Disick reprises the role of Patrick Bateman, the Wall Street serial killer who was played by Christian Bale in the original Bret Easton-helmed flick. The video stars Kim Kardashian's BFF Jonathan Cheban as Bateman's next murder victim. Cheban reprises the role played by Jared Leto.
Disick is re-enacting the infaous scene when Bateman criticizied Huey Lewis and The News' Hip To Be Square. In the short clip, Disicks says that that West's earlier music was a "little too hip-hop."
"Hey, do you like Kanye West?" Disick asks Cheban in the clip. "The early work was a little too hip-hop for me and my tastes, but when Dark Twisted Fantasy came out in 2010, I think he really came into his own both musically and lyrically."
Disick says that West has been compared to" Jesus, Hitler, Walt Disney and Steve Jobs" as the music for West's New Slaves plays in the background. re.
Disick exits the room and quickly exits the room and swallows pills and alcohol drink before he puts on a clear raincoat which Bateman did in the infamous scene. He returns with an ax and hides it behind Cheban as he turns up the New Slaves music even louder to hide the sounds of the killing that it about to take place.
Disick callls New Slaves an "undisputed masterpiece" and "his greatest work by far."
"And then the title I Am God, the song practically speaks for itself," Disick says in a high-pitched voice. "But of course mainstream doesn't understand the message to the music because it's about me! he yells.
Cheban is looking quizzically as he is listening to the serial killer rambling about West's new album then asks Disick if he's wearing a raincoat. Disick begins to hack at Cheban with the ax and screams, "Try getting the Yeezus album now mother f--ker!"
After he finishes the murder, Disick takes off the raincoat, sits down and lights up a cigar and begins to smoke it while staring at Cheban's dead body. The footage ends with West's album title flashing across the screen.
