Kanye West's infamous "Famous" video is now on YouTube

Kanye West's controversial video for "Famous" is now airing in all its glory on YouTube.

Kanye put an end to Aziz Ansari and Eric Wareheim's mischief last weekend with a live premiere event to debut the video for the already-notorious track. It focuses on naked, sleeping depictions/waxworks/actual famous figures (it's still kind of a mystery), and 'features' Kanye, Kim Kardashian, Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, George W. Bush, Anna Wintour, Ray J, Chris Brown, Amber Rose, Rihanna, and Bill Cosby. It's supposedly based on a painting by artist Vincent Desiderio, who described the video as "a feat of magic".

In just the week since it's been out, the video's been dissected, condemned by Lena Dunham, legal action has been pondered, parodied multiple times, and taken over everything in the world that's not Brexit-fallout related. If you've still not managed to catch the 10-minute clip, now's your chance - it's been pried from the exclusive claws of TIDAL at last.

The track appears on Kanye's latest record The Life Of Pablo, which he's gonna be touring later this year.
