Kanye West's latest album has been banned from the shelves of U.S. superstore Wal-Mart due to its controversial cover art, according to the rapper.

The Stronger hit-maker is preparing to release My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy next month but he warns fans they won't be able to pick it up at the retail chain. West has posted a photo of the sleeve on his Twitter.com page and told his followers he can't understand why the artwork, which features two reclining nude figures with wings and a tail, has caused offence.

He writes, "Yoooo they banned my album cover! Banned in the USA! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix! In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now...

"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."

However, West is refusing to change the cover art as he doesn't want to forsake his "true creativity" for album sales. He adds, "In all honesty... I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart (sic) when I make my music or album covers. I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity... I know that cover just blew yall minds I wish yall could see how hard I'm smiling right now!!!"

ha ha. yeah they were probably being nice.

i actually like kanye's production and a few of his joints. like with any of my hip hop likes, i prefer posse tracks because i get bored of 3 16 bars from one person (with the exception of a few, Murs, Mos Def etc.).

but yeah kanye can definitely produce some good beats, and lucky from him he rolls with some good spitters cudi, pusha t, big sean, common, 88 keys, consequence, glc. so he ends up with some aiight tracks. in fact most of his best is when he produces for people outside of his label like the joints he did for the teriyaki boys.

as usual with all artists who make it big his best songs are the ones that don't get released. but i think he has broken away from a major label so he might be able to release whatever he wants now.
