News: Kanye West
This Isn’t The Cover Of Kanye’s New Album (Anymore)
Tonight Kanye West tweeted that the powers that be have rejected the cover he had put together for his upcoming album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Here it is:
“Banned in the USA!!!” West tweeted. “They don’t want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!” Later, he added the following: “In the 70s album covers had actual nudity… It’s so funny that people forget that… Everything has been so commercialized now… In all honesty… I really don’t be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug! …I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity.”
Of course, Kanye West using the #Kanyeshrug hashtag himself officially retires it.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is set for release on November 22nd, and while West is currently putting the finishing touches on, we just wish it was still called Good Ass Job.
His true creativity…is a 10 year old’s rendering of himself having sex with a pheonix white lady?
will be the album artwork in my itunes.
Nice drawing Kanye… What amazing controversy will your publicist cook up next?
How about possibly suing Every Time I Die:

If this is legit, I want to kick Kanye in the throat.
