kanye west dark fantasy banned album cover

So you can see why Kanye fans are on suicide watch. 12 tracks are set to appear, though nine have already been released as official singles, G.O.O.D. Other than the fact Apple doesn’t appear to fond of Kanye and his phoenix, the most interesting piece of info found is the album’s apparent track. Friday Saturday to go down, let me point you in the direction of iTunes, where a pre-order is now ongoing for Kanye‘s forthcoming My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. While we’re waiting for this week’s G.O.O.D. We're excited about Kanye West's new album and we look forward to carrying it in our stores on November 22.Update: Kanye confirmed in an interview with MTV that the final tracklist has not yet been submitted, but will likely feature 13-14 tracks. Kanye tweeted: 'So Nirvana can have a naked human being on their cover, but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings.'Ī spokesperson for Wal Mart has, however, denied the company ever banned the cover, saying: 'We did not reject the cover artwork and it was not presented to us.

He tweeted: 'Yoooo they banned my album cover!!!!! Banned in the USA!!! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my Phoenix! (sic)'Īs a reference point of how this was unfair, he cited the cover of Nirvana's 1993 album 'In Utero' which showed a naked anatomical model of a woman with wings. In October, ahead of the album's release, Kanye then announced that the album's cover had been banned by retail chain Wal-Mart, one of the biggest in America. To come up with the cover, Kanye had visited the artist in his studio and they listened to songs intended for the album for hours, after which George created a number of paintings, most of which were used in the artwork for 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'.

Describing the cover Kanye picked in his own words, George told The New Yorker magazine: 'West chose the one with a naked black man on a bed, straddled by a naked white female creature with fearsome features, wings, no arms and a long, spotted tail.'
