Def Jam has apparently put the brakes on a controversial CD cover for Kanye West’s upcoming album My Beauitiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
The Chi-Town MC and super-producer Tweeted on Sunday,
“Yoooo they banned my album cover!!!!! Ima tweet it in a few…,”
“Banned in the USA!!! They don’t want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix! http://twitpic.com/2ykxjk”
“In the 70s album covers had actual nudity… It’s so funny that people forget that… Everything has been so commercialized now.”
“I know that cover just blew yall minds … I wish yall could see how hard I’m smiling right 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.”
Artistic expression people…let it be.
