Tha Truth
its honestly not that bad. yall are supposed to be some hiphop heads. if you react like this over a humorous little album cover id hate to see how you reacted to eminems kim or n.w.a.’s fuck the police…
10.17.10 at 7:50 pm

this isn’t creative at all…its ignorant, he knows damn well that explicit visuals can’t be on a store shelf.
What happens when some kid walks by the CD aisle and sees this shit ?

I hate when people just think of nasty/random shit and then throw it together and claim its “artistic”.

10.17.10 at 8:08 pm

instead jumping on it lets try to figure out what message yeezy wants to get across.. i personally think that he’s revealing that the black mans inner demons crave white bitches if that makes any sense. let’s face it… most black people wish they could hook up with white bitches but can’t unless they got that regie bush guap. no offense black people i love yall

To me it looks like taylor swift is on Ye dick? lol
IDK i personally like the cover. I’m myself like weird things and creative that some people won’t understand. But i just wish the picture inside the red square would be larger so we could see more details of that painting. The i would definitely digg it. But yeah i think he should choose something better for album cover but if not i don’t have problem with this one
10.17.10 at 8:29 pm

@dapperon you have to be the most dumbest, ignorant and uneducated person ever. Go back to your waka flocka album covers and music you filthy non educated coward.
10.17.10 at 8:32 pm

I like it you niggaz is just dumb Would it be better if it were him in front of a ferrari with a big tittie big azz white bitch

I’m with my man tiptoe up top, we got niggas fucking white bitches with wings and beer, fucking brilliant all he is missing is some chicken. But naw real talk the title says it all, it’s just hollywood. Distorted people, Distorted things, Distorted thoughts.

lol fits the title .

Wow there have been way worse covers in the history of rock and roll. Seriously people banning him probably because he’s black.
10.17.10 at 8:42 pm

when i see this cover………. i cant help but think of kanye fuckin americas sweetheart taylor swift, or kanye fuckin america itself. its like he constantly sayin i’ma make shit u dont wanna like, but u have to fuckin like it cuz i’m fuckin nice at this music shit and i make dollars so if u dont wanna sell this in yo store, your fuckin loss, u can buy it on my website fuck u pay me
10.17.10 at 8:42 pm

>>>> COVER and besides, you see worse on tv everyday
10.17.10 at 9:00 pm
dynamixx
it has nothing to do with how explicit it is, cus there are many album covers before this that portray sexuality in far more graphic ways, its the fact that this cover looks RETARDED, it has no business being on the front of a hip-hop album. I dont believe it should be banned and i dont think it actually is banned from the US more like the label chose not to use it cus it wont sell. People buy image.
10.17.10 at 9:17 pm
SAMFROMTHEBAY
Wonder if it would be received different if it was actually him and a white girl on the picture….
10.17.10 at 9:22 pm
Neighborh00dc
Funny thing is that this is accepted overseas but not here. Weed and other drugs is tolerated in most country. But somehow art like this isn’t tolerated. Sometimes it no wonder why we as a nation has one of the worse education systems. Now it is pushing the bar a lil but art is art everyone doesn’t have to like it but to ban it is crazy. It does have a parental advisory so people need to stop over looking it and overhyping and just let it be. Last I check most people buy bootlegs or download and listen to the music anyway. Most people here talk mad shit about artists then on the low saying the opposite.
10.17.10 at 9:52 pm
Richard
Something Lady Gaga would do lmao!
10.17.10 at 9:52 pm
Well...
well what can you say…it kinda sorta matches the cover. Yeezy just does stuff people wouldnt normally do. in his opinion…thats what his “beautiful dark twisted fantasy” is. its in the name after the word MY. the fantasy of a winged white demon…on top a black figure is sitting on the couch with beer in its hand…we see a messed up picture that shouldnt be on music shelves…he sees words turned into art.

I’m feeling this. I just wish that the picture inside the square was bigger so we could see the details of the painting.
At first i was like wtf is this but after couple of other looks im feeling it. IDK maybe it’s just me that im inot weird stuff that ya wont understand so people like me will feel this cover.
Hey it better than rick ross type cover? fat face on a cover lol.

when do u have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy usually when ur drunk or drug and the fantasy that u see here is obviously a sexual fantasy and It’s seen through the eyes of the man having that fantasy you can tell the man is drunk by observing the bottle and his fantasyis a white bitch it’s a twisted fantasy cuz It’s a demon white bitch like I get it but idk Kanye u my nigga and everything but this album may be a classic but it’s goin to have the worst cover art for a classic
10.17.10 at 11:00 pm

ok the cover does make sense but i just think its too much and i see why its banned

I seen worst in the Guggenheim Museum. If this had Picaso, Di Vinci, or Michelangelo name on it white people would be like its genius, and it would sell for like 100 million. But it’s part of a black man’s work so it is obscene. And to all of you who think this is stupid and have negative comments. Would it be better if it was just a picture of him and a white chick with a fat ass? SMH fucking simpletons!

@dapperon lol u a fool, drugs doesnt make anyone do that, not even shrooms which is not fucked up at all, infact its very healthy.
Its understandable you guys dont get the album title when you are at the level to actually think lil wayne is goat with dipset,brick squad and souljah boy right behind him.
10.18.10 at 6:13 am
Deedee8708
Hmmm, is it just me, but are all the signs there? This is clearly some sort of demonic dream ( nightmare). How is it that you’re an artist that used to have album covers with teddy bears and ‘ish talking about college, now you got some Illuminati vision as a damn album cover?? Hmmm… Kanye clearly needs help. Wake up ppl, this nigga started acting really awkward after “808 and Heartbreaks”. That album was mad depressing. Kanye has started to slowly decline as a respected artist and person for that matter. From him throwing fits from not winning any awards at certain shows to him showing up to award shows WASTED, snatching white girl’s awards out they hand. This nigga is outta control. It’s time for a damn intervention. And by the way, why haven’t Beyonce and Jay-z been at any awards shows lately?
10.18.10 at 7:27 am

its “HIS” beautiful dark twisted fantasy ppl. yall readin way too deep in between the lines. this is hip hop n hip hop has been raw for years now so dont go pussy now. he clearly states its dark n twisted, wat more do u want… a real pic of kanye wit sum white woman on his nuts? lol

what happend to the school theme??? It was a good NORMAL concept…. this would be a good 808 cover… but not a kanye RAP cd…
10.18.10 at 9:44 am
Socks
Its just art everyone. If anything Kanye wanted you to react in this matter. Look at how many responses it has gotten. Thats promotion, it promotes his work, it gets everyone talking. Rap is so stereotypical sometimes, he’s just breaking that. Expanding minds here. A lot of you would probably be happy if it was more “hood inspired”. And its banned not because he’s fucking a white girl. Though I am a fan of the artwork it is obscene.
10.18.10 at 9:44 am

Cmon guys, the album has to live up to the title. what you want, Kanye smiling on the cover? Get over yourselves.
10.18.10 at 10:26 am
2up2down
LMAO..man this album cover is fucked up real talk! i can see y they wouldn’t sale it in stores..i mean the nigga be wearing red suits, the title of his album, and now this shit with the demonic album cover..Kanye is nice as an artist but something evil is behind his music, illuminati or who ever the fuck is doin business with him..wouldn’t buy this shit but it might be worth a download! lol
10.18.10 at 11:31 am

lol @ herron ,come on man u know k.west got lil kids that like him may b u dnt have kids but how bout if u had a daughter or son n they ask u 2 break that shit down 2 em how would u explain it?????

I think He is getting the Response he is Looking For. this is Very Controversial. Kinda Like Nas’s Last album Title. This is gonna make the album Sale. it gives people something to talk about. something out of the Norm. I see what he is doing. Its all Strategy.

mrsfuckincarter
This shit is ill. Aha I just wish the painting didn’t look like a 5 yr old did it. Other than that I like it kanye is smart he does shit that other people are scared to do. Gets people talking , just like lady gaga .. he’s a rebel y’all know, he don’t give two fucks. Even tho his shit is banned He got the power in his hands at the end of the day , look at all the controversy he loves that shit..people like the bad guy , kanye turned himself into the bad guy ,no matter how many people don’t like this there’s always those who fucks wit it , like me.. kanyes too real for alotta people ,too raw he don’t censor shit and people who are scared of the truth don’t like it. Smh..And on top of that he’s just weird as shit. But it makes people hate to love it.

you people seriously need to calm the fuck down. your acting like a bunch of fuckin white extremist christians or something. its just a picture, nothing that should spark such a psycho reaction from so many people. chill the fuck out
10.18.10 at 7:11 pm
FREEWEEZY
yeah hes doin what em does. get it banned . free advertising! people do the opposite of what they are told to do. dont buy this album= 10 million copies sold.
also props to ye for not just doing a cover with some diamonds and bitches.
also FUCK CENSORSHIP
WHY DONT WE LIVE OUT THE FIRST AMMENDMENT?! LOOK AROUND NIGGAZ
I love It, i Like That Kanye West Is Sort Of DIfferent, It Makes People Don’t, It Makes People Hate, And It Makes People Love, If People Don’t Like It, Don’t Comment, Because It Shows That You Care, By Far His Best Album Since Graduation, this Was Actually Supposed To Come Out Before 808, but His Mother Died, And Also I’m Going To Buy it….Also They’re Some Ignorant, dumb ass people that commented on this picture…For Real

He’s having sex with a “Fallen Angel”. The angels that was caste out of heaven with the devil that still exist on this earth.

Damn a lot of hate on here. Kanye is pushing hip hop and music in new directions, this album art is rad too glad to see he is painting.

Ok… so its kanye (looking pretty fucked up–literally and figuratively) and then there’s the pheonix from the runaway “movie” (selita ebanks). ….so….kanye doing a bird. its a dark twisted fanstasy but im not quite sure about the beautiful. its kinda disturbing. i love u kanye but, im glad this cover is banned
10.29.10 at 3:06 pm
TeeTee
i dunno why yaw talking bad about the cover. okay so what it looks like too monsters having sex, GET OFF HIS DICK yaw look dumb , if thats what he wanted then okay. the fuck? if you dont like it dont listen to his music then. point blank
That full length Runaway video is on fire. Haters gonna hate, but Kanye is back on!
11.11.10 at 8:45 am

I felt sorry for Kanye after his Today show interview, so I went on his website, to tell him that conservatives are not racist, we think all men have equal potential, that liberalism is destroying poor people of all races. And teaching our young men bad values based in anger, envy and reverse racism. So even though I think this album cover shows he is an asshole, it kinda proves my point. Young black men need to embrace conservatism, and become all they can be, not descend into nihilistic hedonism.
11.11.10 at 7:22 pm
BeSmart
Most of the people on here seem fairly intelligent. Others need to learn English before attempting to communicate. They could also try learning Spanish, but that ghetto broken english bullshit just doesn’t cut it when writing a comment.
I know some idiots think its cool, but it’s brainwashing. Wake the fuck up!

And teaching our young men bad values based in anger, envy and reverse racism. So even though I think this album cover shows he is an asshole, it kinda proves my point. Young black men need to embrace conservatism, and become all they can be, not descend into nihilistic hedonism. Nobody needs to have tight fists and tight ass you tight wad. You’re going to turn everyone into artless robots.

hahaha dude i just bought this album off itunes and the cover is blurred but i was looking at the blurr and was like OH SHIT! is that kanye on a couch with a beer and a girl on him. im very happy to say yup yup that is.
11.24.10 at 9:20 am
Black
DiVinci and all them could paint something like this and it would sell for millions like homey said earlier. If you don’t like the cover cool it’s understandable… It’s a wierd cover, maybe a little obscene. If my kids were to see this and ask what it meant I would give them my honest opinion… I don’t know! It could be sex with a demon, it could be sex with the phoenix… I mean she doesn’t have arms and she has spots on her tail so I don’t know what it means, I would have to hear Kanye’s thoughts on it. I do think it’s dope that it’s not your everyday Hip Hop album cover…. you know a dude wit mad chicks around blowing weed smoke wit heavy chains and charms, or a face shot with graphics on it, or sitting in/ standing in front of an expensive car. When Kanye says he sold his soul to the devil he could really mean it…. or he could mean he changed who he was for money and fame… Nas said “paper money was the death of Christ” and we all know love of money is the root of evil. When we first heard Kanye on “Through The Wire” and saw the video, he was just a regular innocent dude, like a big kid. As we grow up we lose that innocence… life happens… and no matter how much you want to go back, life makes you want more. Most times life teaches you the only way to get that is by having money. So we fantasize about attaining wealth… that takes us further from that innocence, perception gets “twisted” that line between right and wrong gets thinner. So in short (lmbo) I think it’s all symbolic of something but who know’s what it is lol. Dope album cover imo!

This is a form of art. Everybody is tripping over nothing this is different and kanye west has the balls to do it. He is real talk.
Like he said 70′s actually had naked album art. What about all the snoop dog covers? And rhcp they are actually naked in real life . Now think about your ignorance and let’s be realistic.
11.27.10 at 9:36 pm
moise
People calm this bullshit down, all you paranoid bastards STFU. The album cover is art,even better Kanye’s Music is genius! So chill with this “Conspiracy Illuminati” crap. This breaks away from the typical “Thug, OG, Get Bitches, Fuck Hoes, Got Houses, Got Cars, Sell Drugs” Rap Shit. Give em something different than just ignorant music. Personally I think that’s what Kanye has done. Much Props To Kanye & this New Album. This album cover being banned is bullshit, Its sad but I don’t think us as a race will ever break away from ignorance. Just as stated above if it was a Picasso or something it would be on public display for everyone ranging from the age of 0-Whatever to see. What physically separates this from a famous art piece…Nothing, Just ignorance, I feel sorry for this country.
11.30.10 at 6:52 pm
Kanye East
I love this… he expresses his creativity and doesnt care what anyone thinks so all the people that are hating .. So what he is making millions
12.01.10 at 5:13 pm

Maybe an attempt at creative marketing. Where MJ actually become white, Kanye is doing all he can to cater to a certain audience. His music video was probably the highest budget shitty video ever made, and this album could have been pretty good, but he is trying way too hard.
12.13.10 at 10:03 pm
Bkk
I dont see what you people are all flipping over, what makes this any different from an old painting which had images of naked women. those were more detailed then this, honestly she looks disgusting who’s going to look at that and say “Boobs!” you all need to realize that if you don’t want things one way, like the basic shit to rap about (bitches, hoes, money, cars, jewelry, and all this other bullshit) then this is what your gonna get, either love it, or stop listening to kanye.

You people kill me. Kanye is and has always been who he is. This cover is exactly what’s to be expected from him. Many musicians have crossed the line as far as art goes. This cover matches the album perfectly. The album is BEASTIN! True hip-hop and Kanye fans know exactly where he was going with this. Kanye speaks the truth. If you want to continue to turn a blind eye to the nonsense we’re living under then so be it. I’m thankful for Kanye…everyone else seems to commercial. He’s FAR from it!!!!

What's up
This foo went from Praising Jesus to worshipping the devil
Kanye West be tripping…fuck is his problem..
Im not sure what to think! lol Im speechless!!!
WTF!?
let me guess..this is artistic like picasso right? sometimes thinking outside the box is a horrible idea. This dude needs to start hinking inside the box asap
I WOULDNT SELL THAT CRAP IN MY STORE NEITHER LOL…WTF IS HIS PROBLEM
Not surprised. Kanye crossed the line from creative to crazy a long time ago.
It’s just ugly. It deserves a banning for that. Content be damned.
looks like two demons having sex……come one Kanye enough with the signs…
this nigga tryin to get blackballed
wtf he needs to change it quick
dude’s lost his mind
all i have 2 say for the ppl (including nigel) buggin about the cover, read what the title of the album says over again. it is what it is man.. *shrugs*
its honestly not that bad. yall are supposed to be some hiphop heads. if you react like this over a humorous little album cover id hate to see how you reacted to eminems kim or n.w.a.’s fuck the police…
this isn’t creative at all…its ignorant, he knows damn well that explicit visuals can’t be on a store shelf.
What happens when some kid walks by the CD aisle and sees this shit ?
I hate when people just think of nasty/random shit and then throw it together and claim its “artistic”.
is he on sum fucked up shrooms or sumthing? what the shit is that?
haha evey black mans fantasy a beer and a white girl yall must be fags if yall dont like it
now im a 1000% sure that jiggaboo is coocoo wtf k. he must b doin drugs not weed some heavy shit anybody who would put some shit like that on a album cover must b doin somethin WOW
come on yall dont remember the nirvana cd cover where tha naked baby is drowning in a pool chasin a dollar bill on a fishing line? this aint shit..its just symbolism.. and educated people would understand it..i can actually see a lil humor in it..get smart yall killuminati
IS THIS A FUCKIN JOKE
instead jumping on it lets try to figure out what message yeezy wants to get across.. i personally think that he’s revealing that the black mans inner demons crave white bitches if that makes any sense. let’s face it… most black people wish they could hook up with white bitches but can’t unless they got that regie bush guap. no offense black people i love yall
…..This nigga can’t just make a nice non-controversial socially acceptable comeback can he…? I think this is a joke, I pray it’s a joke, b/c if it’s not a joke…smh
I dunno.. I like it.
Fuckin Ridiculous (in RZA Voice) lol
Kanye need to chill with all the devil worshipping and illuminati signs and shit. Ok Ok i get it, ur using it as a marketing and promoting tool to get people talking but 4 real you need to stop with that shit. U playing with fire and its lame my nigga.
To me it looks like taylor swift is on Ye dick? lol
IDK i personally like the cover. I’m myself like weird things and creative that some people won’t understand. But i just wish the picture inside the red square would be larger so we could see more details of that painting. The i would definitely digg it. But yeah i think he should choose something better for album cover but if not i don’t have problem with this one
@dapperon you have to be the most dumbest, ignorant and uneducated person ever. Go back to your waka flocka album covers and music you filthy non educated coward.
I like it you niggaz is just dumb
Would it be better if it were him in front of a ferrari with a big tittie big azz white bitch
I’m with my man tiptoe up top, we got niggas fucking white bitches with wings and beer, fucking brilliant all he is missing is some chicken. But naw real talk the title says it all, it’s just hollywood. Distorted people, Distorted things, Distorted thoughts.
lol fits the title .
Wow there have been way worse covers in the history of rock and roll. Seriously people banning him probably because he’s black.
when i see this cover……….
i cant help but think of kanye fuckin americas sweetheart taylor swift, or kanye fuckin america itself.
its like he constantly sayin i’ma make shit u dont wanna like, but u have to fuckin like it cuz i’m fuckin nice at this music shit and i make dollars so if u dont wanna sell this in yo store, your fuckin loss, u can buy it on my website fuck u pay me
goes well with the title.. wheres yall sense of humor? shits funny
This aint funny its just WEIRD AS FUCK!
>>>> COVER and besides, you see worse on tv everyday
it has nothing to do with how explicit it is, cus there are many album covers before this that portray sexuality in far more graphic ways, its the fact that this cover looks RETARDED, it has no business being on the front of a hip-hop album. I dont believe it should be banned and i dont think it actually is banned from the US more like the label chose not to use it cus it wont sell. People buy image.
Wonder if it would be received different if it was actually him and a white girl on the picture….
Funny thing is that this is accepted overseas but not here. Weed and other drugs is tolerated in most country. But somehow art like this isn’t tolerated. Sometimes it no wonder why we as a nation has one of the worse education systems. Now it is pushing the bar a lil but art is art everyone doesn’t have to like it but to ban it is crazy. It does have a parental advisory so people need to stop over looking it and overhyping and just let it be. Last I check most people buy bootlegs or download and listen to the music anyway. Most people here talk mad shit about artists then on the low saying the opposite.
Something Lady Gaga would do lmao!
well what can you say…it kinda sorta matches the cover. Yeezy just does stuff people wouldnt normally do. in his opinion…thats what his “beautiful dark twisted fantasy” is. its in the name after the word MY. the fantasy of a winged white demon…on top a black figure is sitting on the couch with beer in its hand…we see a messed up picture that shouldnt be on music shelves…he sees words turned into art.
WTF IS THIS SHIT?
I’m feeling this. I just wish that the picture inside the square was bigger so we could see the details of the painting.
At first i was like wtf is this but after couple of other looks im feeling it. IDK maybe it’s just me that im inot weird stuff that ya wont understand so people like me will feel this cover.
Hey it better than rick ross type cover? fat face on a cover lol.
into*
when do u have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy usually when ur drunk or drug and the fantasy that u see here is obviously a sexual fantasy and It’s seen through the eyes of the man having that fantasy you can tell the man is drunk by observing the bottle and his fantasyis a white bitch it’s a twisted fantasy cuz It’s a demon white bitch like I get it but idk Kanye u my nigga and everything but this album may be a classic but it’s goin to have the worst cover art for a classic
ok the cover does make sense but i just think its too much and i see why its banned
hahahah it fits the title ….but WTF …hahahahah cant wait to see whats going to b the worlds reaction
I seen worst in the Guggenheim Museum. If this had Picaso, Di Vinci, or Michelangelo name on it white people would be like its genius, and it would sell for like 100 million. But it’s part of a black man’s work so it is obscene. And to all of you who think this is stupid and have negative comments. Would it be better if it was just a picture of him and a white chick with a fat ass? SMH fucking simpletons!
Wow this world is so blind. it simbolism. For him and that devil crap.
look at a tribe called quest cover or a de la soul niggas hated on they wierd shit too, kanye is just on another level
and also just the fact that its banned its gonna sell a million more copies, america youth is rebellious if not anything else. when was the last time u heard about a album being banned??? fuck outta here, white people at walmart dont wanna see that black animal fuckin they lil girl
toast to the douchebag
^^^dude is outta his mind^^
@ kevin fuck u jigaboo ass fish stick eatin ass nigga hop off that nigga k.west dick u give that nigga a pass 4 everything ,i cnt stand wackaflocka
@kevin u think u hard nigga y dnt u put ur real address up bitch
y corny ass niggas always trynna go hard online i made a comment bout k.west this nigga kevin came outa no where n start callin me names ,shit u fuckin with tha wrong 1 nigga go change ur pads nigga biatchhhhhhhhhhhh
ummm that is kanye and i think i spot amber rose…hightimes bitches
@dapperon lol u a fool, drugs doesnt make anyone do that, not even shrooms which is not fucked up at all, infact its very healthy.
Its understandable you guys dont get the album title when you are at the level to actually think lil wayne is goat with dipset,brick squad and souljah boy right behind him.
Hmmm, is it just me, but are all the signs there? This is clearly some sort of demonic dream ( nightmare). How is it that you’re an artist that used to have album covers with teddy bears and ‘ish talking about college, now you got some Illuminati vision as a damn album cover?? Hmmm… Kanye clearly needs help. Wake up ppl, this nigga started acting really awkward after “808 and Heartbreaks”. That album was mad depressing. Kanye has started to slowly decline as a respected artist and person for that matter. From him throwing fits from not winning any awards at certain shows to him showing up to award shows WASTED, snatching white girl’s awards out they hand. This nigga is outta control. It’s time for a damn intervention. And by the way, why haven’t Beyonce and Jay-z been at any awards shows lately?
its “HIS” beautiful dark twisted fantasy ppl. yall readin way too deep in between the lines. this is hip hop n hip hop has been raw for years now so dont go pussy now. he clearly states its dark n twisted, wat more do u want… a real pic of kanye wit sum white woman on his nuts? lol
Illuminati
what happend to the school theme??? It was a good NORMAL concept…. this would be a good 808 cover… but not a kanye RAP cd…
Its just art everyone. If anything Kanye wanted you to react in this matter. Look at how many responses it has gotten. Thats promotion, it promotes his work, it gets everyone talking. Rap is so stereotypical sometimes, he’s just breaking that. Expanding minds here. A lot of you would probably be happy if it was more “hood inspired”. And its banned not because he’s fucking a white girl. Though I am a fan of the artwork it is obscene.
Cmon guys, the album has to live up to the title. what you want, Kanye smiling on the cover? Get over yourselves.
LMAO..man this album cover is fucked up real talk! i can see y they wouldn’t sale it in stores..i mean the nigga be wearing red suits, the title of his album, and now this shit with the demonic album cover..Kanye is nice as an artist but something evil is behind his music, illuminati or who ever the fuck is doin business with him..wouldn’t buy this shit but it might be worth a download! lol
lol @ herron ,come on man u know k.west got lil kids that like him may b u dnt have kids but how bout if u had a daughter or son n they ask u 2 break that shit down 2 em how would u explain it?????
wtf is THIS BULLSHXT
ENUFF WIT ALL DA BULLSHXT LETS GET BACK 2 DA MUSIC MAN
GREAT MARKETING BY KANYE THO; GET MORE PUBLICITY N HIS STANS WILL SAY THIS COVERS GENIUS
How is this going to be in the stores. Who the fuck buys music from stores these days.
I think He is getting the Response he is Looking For.
this is Very Controversial. Kinda Like Nas’s Last album Title.
This is gonna make the album Sale. it gives people something to talk about. something out of the Norm. I see what he is doing. Its all Strategy.
Love it.
@Jbreezy & Mike… WORD !
People who see signs and shit in this… they are the one´s that got the monster… paranoid mafooooooooooossssss….
PEACE.
Yal are some fucking haters .. That niqquh can do watever the fuck he want yal opinions don’t matter cause he stil makin money. Them ppl who claim they wouldnt sell that shyt is a fuckin lot cause money change everything and if somebody was gone buy the shyt ai bet you wldn’t have a problem wit so stop being so fucking judgemental .. HATERS GET NO LOVE
#teamKanye
yal talkin this mess about Kanye but have anyone seen Ice T’s Gangsta Rap album cover ?? didnt think so so stfu haters
i don’t understand what the big deal is…it’s just an album cover and that shit’s kinda cool anyways…fuckboy haters eat a dick kanye’s the shit
i get it has 2 go with the title but at the same time ya been on some other shit dont get me wrong the music he been droping is dope beat wise i got all of kanye cd im sure im gonna buy this 2 idk im at lost for words
Wow niggas are so blind, what more do you guys need? this nigga says how he sold his soul in his last couple of freestyles. this nigga wears all this devil clothing. and now this. and pepole still dont believe. kanye is one of the best rappers, but he needs to chill out with this devil crap.
C’mon like there are so many other explicit covers in the music industry. Yall just tripping cuz it’s a black man and a white girl? C’mon on grow up.
This shit is ill. Aha I just wish the painting didn’t look like a 5 yr old did it. Other than that I like it kanye is smart he does shit that other people are scared to do. Gets people talking , just like lady gaga .. he’s a rebel y’all know, he don’t give two fucks. Even tho his shit is banned He got the power in his hands at the end of the day , look at all the controversy he loves that shit..people like the bad guy , kanye turned himself into the bad guy ,no matter how many people don’t like this there’s always those who fucks wit it , like me.. kanyes too real for alotta people ,too raw he don’t censor shit and people who are scared of the truth don’t like it. Smh..And on top of that he’s just weird as shit. But it makes people hate to love it.
man yall need to quit hatin on the dude! son is just expressing himself, yall need to hop of his cock strap!
i appreciate this mans talent!big ups to you man keep beastin them niggas ye!
you people seriously need to calm the fuck down. your acting like a bunch of fuckin white extremist christians or something. its just a picture, nothing that should spark such a psycho reaction from so many people. chill the fuck out
yeah hes doin what em does. get it banned . free advertising! people do the opposite of what they are told to do. dont buy this album= 10 million copies sold.
also props to ye for not just doing a cover with some diamonds and bitches.
also FUCK CENSORSHIP
WHY DONT WE LIVE OUT THE FIRST AMMENDMENT?! LOOK AROUND NIGGAZ
Download full album here : http://lnkgt.com/4LU
I love It, i Like That Kanye West Is Sort Of DIfferent, It Makes People Don’t, It Makes People Hate, And It Makes People Love, If People Don’t Like It, Don’t Comment, Because It Shows That You Care, By Far His Best Album Since Graduation, this Was Actually Supposed To Come Out Before 808, but His Mother Died, And Also I’m Going To Buy it….Also They’re Some Ignorant, dumb ass people that commented on this picture…For Real
He’s having sex with a “Fallen Angel”. The angels that was caste out of heaven with the devil that still exist on this earth.
Damn a lot of hate on here. Kanye is pushing hip hop and music in new directions, this album art is rad too glad to see he is painting.
Ok…
so its kanye (looking pretty fucked up–literally and figuratively) and then there’s the pheonix from the runaway “movie” (selita ebanks).
….so….kanye doing a bird.
its a dark twisted fanstasy but im not quite sure about the beautiful. its kinda disturbing. i love u kanye but, im glad this cover is banned
i dunno why yaw talking bad about the cover.
okay so what it looks like too monsters having sex, GET OFF HIS DICK yaw look dumb , if thats what he wanted then okay. the fuck? if you dont like it dont listen to his music then. point blank
I think he’s fantasy is a white tranny lol
hes crazy but the track list for his new album is on fire http://unbiasedwriter.com/music/kanye-west-my-beautiful-dark-twisted-fantasy-official-track-list-revealed/
That full length Runaway video is on fire. Haters gonna hate, but Kanye is back on!
I felt sorry for Kanye after his Today show interview, so I went on his website, to tell him that conservatives are not racist, we think all men have equal potential, that liberalism is destroying poor people of all races. And teaching our young men bad values based in anger, envy and reverse racism. So even though I think this album cover shows he is an asshole, it kinda proves my point. Young black men need to embrace conservatism, and become all they can be, not descend into nihilistic hedonism.
Most of the people on here seem fairly intelligent. Others need to learn English before attempting to communicate. They could also try learning Spanish, but that ghetto broken english bullshit just doesn’t cut it when writing a comment.
I know some idiots think its cool, but it’s brainwashing. Wake the fuck up!
Outkast stankonia has a naked bitch on the front. Ron says (bullshit) I felt sorry for Kanye after his Today show interview, so I went on his website, to tell him that conservatives are not racist, we think all men have equal potential, that liberalism is destroying poor people of all races. And teaching our young men bad values based in anger, envy and reverse racism. So even though I think this album cover shows he is an asshole, it kinda proves my point. Young black men need to embrace conservatism, and become all they can be, not descend into nihilistic hedonism. Nobody needs to have tight fists and tight ass you tight wad. You’re going to turn everyone into artless robots.
instead jumping on it lets try to figure out what message yeezy wants to get across.. i personally think that he’s revealing that the black mans inner demons crave white bitches if that makes any sense. let’s face it… most black people wish they could hook up with white bitches but can’t unless they got that regie bush guap. no offense black people i love yall WELL @Sad, you are a white coward CUNT and my black dick is inside you!! HAHA!don’t cut people and then try to act like it’s ok cause you put a “no offense” band aid. Hell make mine dark brown to blend with my skin. BITCH.
Tha Truth tells the truth! kudos
I’m black. I’ve done white chicks. I prefer Indian. With a dot or with a feather. I drink red stripe not dirty heinikens.
@dapperdon you know you fuck waka flocka in his flamin faggot ass!
haha i bet he put it out there because nobody understands him and he knows it. a douche but one hell of a musician
hahaha dude i just bought this album off itunes and the cover is blurred but i was looking at the blurr and was like OH SHIT! is that kanye on a couch with a beer and a girl on him. im very happy to say yup yup that is.
DiVinci and all them could paint something like this and it would sell for millions like homey said earlier. If you don’t like the cover cool it’s understandable… It’s a wierd cover, maybe a little obscene. If my kids were to see this and ask what it meant I would give them my honest opinion… I don’t know! It could be sex with a demon, it could be sex with the phoenix… I mean she doesn’t have arms and she has spots on her tail so I don’t know what it means, I would have to hear Kanye’s thoughts on it. I do think it’s dope that it’s not your everyday Hip Hop album cover…. you know a dude wit mad chicks around blowing weed smoke wit heavy chains and charms, or a face shot with graphics on it, or sitting in/ standing in front of an expensive car. When Kanye says he sold his soul to the devil he could really mean it…. or he could mean he changed who he was for money and fame… Nas said “paper money was the death of Christ” and we all know love of money is the root of evil. When we first heard Kanye on “Through The Wire” and saw the video, he was just a regular innocent dude, like a big kid. As we grow up we lose that innocence… life happens… and no matter how much you want to go back, life makes you want more. Most times life teaches you the only way to get that is by having money. So we fantasize about attaining wealth… that takes us further from that innocence, perception gets “twisted” that line between right and wrong gets thinner. So in short (lmbo) I think it’s all symbolic of something but who know’s what it is lol. Dope album cover imo!
I really miss those cute bears on the front of his album covers… *sigh*
This is a form of art.
Everybody is tripping over nothing this is different and kanye west has the balls to do it.
He is real talk.
Like he said 70′s actually had naked album art.
What about all the snoop dog covers? And rhcp they are actually naked in real life . Now think about your ignorance and let’s be realistic.
People calm this bullshit down, all you paranoid bastards STFU. The album cover is art,even better Kanye’s Music is genius! So chill with this “Conspiracy Illuminati” crap. This breaks away from the typical “Thug, OG, Get Bitches, Fuck Hoes, Got Houses, Got Cars, Sell Drugs” Rap Shit. Give em something different than just ignorant music. Personally I think that’s what Kanye has done. Much Props To Kanye & this New Album. This album cover being banned is bullshit, Its sad but I don’t think us as a race will ever break away from ignorance. Just as stated above if it was a Picasso or something it would be on public display for everyone ranging from the age of 0-Whatever to see. What physically separates this from a famous art piece…Nothing, Just ignorance, I feel sorry for this country.
I love this… he expresses his creativity and doesnt care what anyone thinks so all the people that are hating .. So what he is making millions
Maybe an attempt at creative marketing. Where MJ actually become white, Kanye is doing all he can to cater to a certain audience. His music video was probably the highest budget shitty video ever made, and this album could have been pretty good, but he is trying way too hard.
I dont see what you people are all flipping over, what makes this any different from an old painting which had images of naked women. those were more detailed then this, honestly she looks disgusting who’s going to look at that and say “Boobs!” you all need to realize that if you don’t want things one way, like the basic shit to rap about (bitches, hoes, money, cars, jewelry, and all this other bullshit) then this is what your gonna get, either love it, or stop listening to kanye.
You people kill me. Kanye is and has always been who he is. This cover is exactly what’s to be expected from him. Many musicians have crossed the line as far as art goes. This cover matches the album perfectly. The album is BEASTIN! True hip-hop and Kanye fans know exactly where he was going with this. Kanye speaks the truth. If you want to continue to turn a blind eye to the nonsense we’re living under then so be it. I’m thankful for Kanye…everyone else seems to commercial. He’s FAR from it!!!!

Just in case you forgot…the album is called: MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY…What were you prudes expecting a field of daisies???
Wow. Kanye west fucking an angel demon thing. Nice
He clearly says he’s making love to the angel of death. The chick has wings and a demonic face. Wtf do you think the album cover means…
i got one word for this…. illuminati
