The hitmaker hired performance artist Vanessa Beecroft to take over a party space in a Los Angeles loft - and she turned up with 40 live nudes.
The models posed like statues against a wall of light, as West unveiled his new album to stunned guests.
The rap star then blasted critics who might give his new album a negative review, hissing, "These are pieces of real life that I'm putting out for people to judge. It's from my heart.
"I don't give a f**k if someone rates it 'hot' or 'not.' I'm here to bring positivity that cannot be judged. It's like judging a grandmother's love."
He then calmed down and revealed he's planning to release another album next summer (08).
He also told the 700 critics, fans and music executives in attendance that his new Cold As Winter song was a tribute to his mother, who died following complications from cosmetic surgery late last year (07).
