A tail of two covers, The lesser of two evils, however you wanna call it is what
this post is about. The other day Kanye West revealed the cover for his forthcoming
album “_My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy_.” Mr West is no stranger to controversy
and that’s exactly what this cover has stirred up. Prompting an immediate response
from Walmart which stated that they wont carry the cd with that cover

The artwork was illustrated by artist George Condo (who also did the “Power”
artwork) and depicts a Werewolf looking Kanye holding a green bottle being straddled
by what he says is a phoenix.

when asked what he thought about Walmart not carrying the album with the cover as
is, The Roc’s Prodigal Son replied:

“_In the 70s album covers had actual nudity…It’s so funny that people forget
that…Everything has been so commercialized now,” West went on to say. “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, I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity_.
”

The last line in the 1st quote if yall can see me now, leads me to believe Mr. West
knew exactly what he was doing. But what Imma tell Ye “[_Im on the train_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q602739kBr4)“…
6:20 mark LOL Anyway back to the topic. It’s his art and more importantly his right.
Yall do remember this thing called The First Amendment that starts off The US Constitution?
Enough about Kanye lets talk about [_Walmart_.](http://www.walmart.com/)

It’s funny how Walmart chooses to use selective reasoning. The other cover is a 
book called “[_Chased by an Elephant_](http://perezhilton.com/2010-10-18-walmart-carries-antigay-book-in-100-stores).”
  The book which is written for kids deals with hetero and homosexuality. My question
is this Walmart? The same way you allow parents to talk to their kids about _“Chased
by an Elephant,_” you should allow the parents to discuss “_My Beautiful Dark Twisted
Fantasy_,”or is it that your just not into Interracial dating or the depiction of
that?

What do you think about Kanye’s album cover?
