As usual Kanye West is being controversial— but this is why we love him. Kanye recently had the art work for his new album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” completed. Around 5pm today Kanye tweeted “Yoooo they banned my album cover!!!!! Ima tweet it in a few…”.

Well as promised a while later Kanye sent the image of the album cover via twitpic. According to XXL.com the image featured an all red backdrop with a distorted portrait of a nude Black male being straddled in a sexual position by a naked angel-like White female dead center.

Kanye began tweeting things like “Banned in the USA!!!”, “They don’t want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!” He explained further in a later tweet, that, “in the 70s album covers had actual nudity… It’s so funny that people forget that… Everything has been so commercialized now.”

Well I want to hear from you guys, what do you honestly think of the cover??? Check it out below…
