Kanye West’s Banned Album Cover
October 17, 2010 @ 7:17 PM EDT
News
Mr. West claims the powers-that-be won’t allow this to be the cover image of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Back to the drawing board.
This is an extreme case of Kanye West trying to hard to be Kanye West.
Nobody gives a shit about this album cover.
This dude is the epitome of commercialism in HipHop yet complains about it.
Get yo old Christian Dior Denim flowing ass outta here Kanye. Make some better songs, fuck your album cover.
Hypocritical ass nigga.
Teen Wolf Is Fucking A No Armed Thorax Of Taylor Swift. Talk About Payback.
I Like It!
Homeboi is wildin’ out. I understand the creativity behind it but I don’t think it’s a beautiful cover though.

PRINCE DID THE NUDE COVER IN THE 90’S….LOVESEXY…..KANYE AIN’T DOING NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN 😉
[…] via RR, also kanye twitted that this specific album cover was banned for distribution…what yall […]
Typical Kanye stan remark
“It woulda been genius ”
I’m glad that’s not his cover, its wack. What’s the hidden message here folks?
@RC
shut yo cola remote control car drivin ass up! Beeeeeeeotch!
Lmao she would be white. Shit is ass….
it is the best cover ever fuck off this blog parent this is hip hop not a daycare
DEF JAM….LET KANYE DO WHAT HE WANTS….WHO ELSE GONNA SELL MAJOR CDS ON YOUR ROSTER???
What kinda Kan-yiggity is this?
Stop putting out bullshit, and calling it art.
There ain’t nothing artistic about this shit.
Where’s the music, nigga?
I find it funny, remember hes the dude who admits he loves to watch porn, and loves white bitches. Why not show you what his fantasy is? Sex Tape of him and some white bitches.. I feel ya Ye, pass some my way, and we goodie.
WHITE BITCHES W/ WINGS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WHITE BITCHES
LETS GO!!!!
Everything is so commercialized now, including you.
can’t get enough of that white girl.
I like it ye is pushing the bar with this …. better than half these niggas albums with just a picture of them
The very fact that people are this mad and want to debate the album cover means it worked….
kanye is a genius join the movement
Not my favorite George Condo painting and Kanye is crazy if he ever thought this shit was gonna go on the shelves at Walmart…
l0l wtf son? Kanye? Anyway @RC hws Kanye the epitome of commercialism in hiphop? I hate these underground losers acting like that shit isnt hypocritical itself. Mad coz u hav 0 mainstream appeal.
I really don’t care what the cover looks like. I just wanna hear the music anyway. But why is he doing shit like this? For Shock Value? Where’s the mascot he used to have on the cover?
When I put it on my ipod I’m gunna use that cover.
Stupid. And truth be told… Nobody gives a fuck about album artwork.
Looking for attention like the narcissist he his.
And maybe Kanye doesn’t recognize the racial stereotypes.. Black Man with a monsterish grin as he sleeps with a White Women… He knew this wasn’t going anywhere.
One day his need to be spoken of with silly attempts for attention will outshine music. Not now.. But real soon. This acts getting tired.
Thank G-d the Ohio Players dropped albums when they did.
White girl got ass tho lol
Here come the suits again ruining things for the artist and their fans.. Fuck em…
@ronnie-moe
EXACTLY! what happened to Dropout Bear? Graduation was his best album cover. 808s was ass and so is this. But im sure the album is gonna be far from ass…bet. Imma cop the album even of the cover is ass…I guess.
@word cosign
This looks like it should be the first ever interracial porn cover. Despite that I could give a fuck what the cover looks like I just want the music.
@ Post No Billz
Nobody has problems when they get checks from the suits..
You don’t want to be in a corporate structure.. Cool. Sign to Koch and have faith in your product for back paper and do your promo run on the Eastern Seaboard in 15pass with no navigation.
You don’t get everything you want. And they DONT fuck with ability to him, so he can’t fuck with the ability to, literally, sell this product at retail.
I wish dat were Dropout Bear was on dat cover. This cover’s amusing, but honestly, picture THAT in your CD collection. Nothin wrong with it, just rejected from society. Imo it’s funny and well…original. Who else but Kanye would put THAT as their album cover?
Hope Marshall’s having a knockout Birthday celebration. 😀
CONTROVERSY SELLS, That’s not the real cover and never was, they are keeping Kanye’s name in the public eye and on blogs and media sites so ppl will talk about him. Y’all are so gullable…SMH
Kanye West made claims that Kanye is an “artist” of sorts, yet Kanye West cant come up with a creative album cover/title for Kanye’s new up and coming album. Kanye West should let Kanye’s fans decide what the album cover should be. I’m sure this album will be renamed, yet again.
Do your thing Kanye, but mannnn don’t be stupid about it.
” I’mmmm Ah-head of my time, sometimes years out. So the powers that be won’t let me get my ideas out” (c) Kanye West
COME THE HELL ON YEEZY!!!! BUT THE DROPOUT BEAR ON IT DAMNIT, THAT SHITS JUST FUCKED UP
@shawn.. The artists vision shouldnt be comprimised and those suits im talking about ruined one of the best hip hop labels ever..so fuck the suits..
Kanye knows how to get your attention, expect to see the DropOut Bear (i hope)
Kayne West is half way between genius and retard. Maybe a little on the retard side.
Cosign Truth… No way he thought this was legit cover
Meh. He knew damn well it would be, which is why we’re seeing it now. I love him, I like the GOOD Fridays stuff. I was never checking for a “statement cover” that’s in the same vein as LeBron slinging that model around on that Vogue cover a while back.
Gay…
Co-sign @ Boggz.
Perfect description of Kanye.
What’s up with people having no arms on album covers now? Is that what’s in ‘style’ now?
that cover is dope. RAP RADAR DOESNT CARE THAT EYEDEA PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING?
@truth ur right. It’s really kanye just trying to get a rise outta people for pub….all rappers do it. Just give me dope music though….fuck a cover!
Still Marshall’s Birthday. :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
if the woman was blk, they’d be wrappin’ the cellophane on them sh*ts …
that cover is dope. RAP RADAR DOESNT CARE THAT EYEDEA PASSED AWAY THIS MORNING?
they sure don’t. that’s why this is my secondary site behind 2dbz
@ BARF:
HOW????
Don’t die on your Birthday Marshall!!!!!
This album cover sucks and would get replaced by fan art on my iPod. Art for art’s sake? Who cares. Where’s the music?
lmao looks like some typa shit id scribble on my book back in school dayz
@boggz …Halfway between genius and retard is average
GOAT
cant believe that people actually believe this cover is the work of a genius. fuckin idiots
I LIKE THE COVER!!!! IT’S BOLD AND IT’S KANYE!!!! IT’S A THEME!!!! U DIDN’T SEE THE PORTRAIT WIT THE HEADLESS KING’S HEAD SIDEWAYS ON A TABLE WIT A SWORD GOIN’ THROUGH IT???? KANYE THINKS OUT THE BOX!!!! YA’LL SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW!!!!! STOP FRONTIN’!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
I LOVE KANYE WEST. HE IS HILARIOUS!!
Aye, Belize, GTFOH nigga. Yes it’s Marshall’s birthday. We know that. Now please, get outta here nigga.
All I can say is wow. Maybe it’s a good idea that Def Jam isn’t allowing Kanye to use this particular cover as his album cover. I think if Kanye was able to kept this as his album cover, it will affect his first week sells.
Lyrically, Kanye is in a class all by himself. Pusha T and Cyhi the Prynce went hard too.

“Everything has become so commercialized Now”
LOL, Kanye West is the Epitome of a commercial artist
Whats Next, Limp Bizkit saying “There’s way too much of this damn Rock Rap shit goin on”
Shut the Fuck up kanye, every time you open your mouth you sound like an idiot, him and DMX should be on a Life-time “Dont Speak unless your rapping” timeout

FUck MM
i like kanyes artistic side, and i do like this cover, but I think Kanye still has time to come up with something better. Either way I am definitely still looking forward to this album.
lmaoooooooooo i saw this on his twitter i was like wtf..of course they would banned that shit smh
@ Belize plz stop sucking eminems dick..he’s not celebrating with you
I would rip on anybody else and im a kanye fan but hes putting out music every friday. fuck its not like he needs to shut the fuck up and concentrate on music. hes doing that more than anybody right now. let kanye be kanye haha
Kanye is fucked
his cover will have him depicted as god or the devil.
and that cover above sucks and im a huge kanye stan.
I’m a dan! of Kanye and I gotta say, it’s too fucking simple. Yeah, it stays true to his George Condo- assisted theme, and knowing the snowbunny breezy that he was pimpin’ to the media I would say it stays true to the name of the album as well. It’s still a poor testament to his artistic bend and would thin out his possible market considering there’s not many hardware retailers other than the big Wall. I think he’s just making a statement with it, which is cool but hopefully doesn’t place it to the corners of obscurity like 808s. Funny shit, though.
#deuces
PLEASE kanye your trying to hard your not shocking MADONNA already been through the wheel come again!!!!
I miss first album Kanye. you know, when he was still a hip hop producer and MC??
yo kanye…there is no fucking way that these white execs are gonna have a cover with you fuckin a white angel smiling like the devils imp…come again
think about your younger fans too…dumb ass
*DEAD* @ Kanye making the #Kanyeshrug on twitter LOL
Kanye & Nas R true HIp Hop rebels.

it is the best cover ever fuck off this blog parent this is hip hop not a daycare
^^^^
I started to co-sign on this comment until I saw who wrote it. I was like, oh, hell naw. I gotta go to sleep tonight.
lmao @courtney!
Hell no, tht is not wht it izzz! I never real felt his off the rocker a** anyway! This sh** right there proves me right. GO AHead & hate my opinion!
I’m a big ye fan but I’m not really feeling the cover. Regardless back in 08 when he put out that graduation album somw niggas wasent feeling that cover either think about it no hip hop cover in 08 was looking like that with all those crazy colors so I’m expecting this next cover to be a little to much for premature adults haha who will buy into a couple years later.
just my thoughts nothing more.
that;s a funny and scary cover….lol
this nigga gayfish montality
max sales =130k
Immature little fuck.
Who cares about how dope an album cover is (this one isnt btw) when the musics trash? It reminds me of the saying “you can put makeup on a pig but its still a pig”.
Like a few have said, this is mearly for attention and heat, i mean look at it, shit looks like its been lifted out of your school book.
maybe there isnt any info on it. but the underground cares…RIP Eyedea!!
who care about the cover getting banned, if he really want use it, he just put it on the inside…
Just have a naked white girl on the cover and put parental stickers on her titties and cooch. lol
George Condo is a good artist but this album cover is trash b.
Did this asshat nigga really think that shit was gonna fly? What a fuckin clown. And you niggas cosigning anything this fruitcake does minus production are gay.
DOPE?
Just because this nigga puts out weird shit Kanye stans automatically call it DOPE? or GENIUS?
Bunch of dumb motherfuckers.
i think it got banned because it depicts yeezy havin sex with a WHITE(wink wink) girl. if ye had a cover with 2 big booty black chicks in short shorts and yeezy in the middle in his b boy stance and wide eyed mantan steez… that would be more acceptable… RRIIGGHHTT, SMH. freedom of expression is almost out the door thanx to sheep like yall.
Kanye…!!! I’m feeling that cover. If that was a black woman nobody would give a fuck!

Ummm I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t buy a CD with that cover. The title is already pushing the “overly artsy” ness
Cover is wack. Theres no creativity behind this. I don’t mind the naked part..but at least do it right.WTF. Do something thats never been done before.
I like it….. really dont see the problem.
albums still have cover art??????
Сказложоп какой-то =)
RC SHUT THE FK UP
Fucking ugly cover… not artistic at all
You stupid fucks!!! HOW DO U NOT SEE THE ALBUM COVER RELATING TO ITS NAME!?!? “My Dark Twisted Fantasy”… DO YOU FAGGOTS KNOW WHAT A FANTASY IS??? YOU STUPID BRAINWASHED FAGGOTS MUST BE BLIND OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MINDS NOT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS ALBUM COVER MEANS!!
RETARDED.. I SWEAR!
ITS A DARK TWISTED FANTASY!! THATS THE ALBUM COVER!! A DARK, TWISTED SEXUAL FANTASY INVOLVING MONSTERS!
DO I REALLY HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT??
JESUS CHRIST!
AND ITS PRETTY OBVIOUS KANYE IS JUST GONNA BLOCK OUT THE TITS AND THE ASS, BECAUSE YOU STUPID, SOFT, BRAINWASHED, SHEEP CALLED AMERICANS ARE TOO FUCKING STUPID AND PUSSY TO UNDERSTAND THIS ALBUM COVER AT ALL, AND THE STUPID PEOPLE RUNNING THE SHIT JUST CALL IT “PORNOGRAPHY” AND BAN IT.
SMH!!!!

Kanye is King.
