Album Artwork: Kanye West "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"

Today, Kanye West unveiled the cover for his upcoming album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy via his twitter He went on to express his feelings about the artwork being banned in the USA, tweeting:

"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."

 ....I'm all for creativity & being above the norm, but some things are just too abstract for my brain to comprehend and this is definitely one of those things. At least it fits the title...

What do you think of Kanye's album artwork?

T.I. Going Back To Jail For 11 Months

Rapper T.I. was sentenced back to jail for 11 months today. Via CNN:

Rapper T.I. vowed to stop what he called "this ongoing process of destruction" Thursday, a day before he goes before a federal judge who could send him back to prison for a probation violation. "I'm tired. I'm wore out," T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, told CNN's Don Lemon.
Harris was arrested on drug charges in Los Angeles, California, last month, triggering Friday's hearing in Atlanta, Georgia, which could end with the revocation of the rapper's probation on a federal weapon's conviction.
Although he could not talk about the facts of his case, Harris did speak personally about his regrets.
"The only thing that I can say, man, is that all people who have supported me, who were behind me, who believed in me, who were disappointed and were let down, I just offered my sincerest apologies, and I will dedicate my life no matter how long it takes to earn your trust back and to make you proud yet again," he said.
When Lemon asked the rapper if that meant he would "never again" get in trouble, he answered, "Absolutely."

Video:




Sending my prayers out to T.I. & his family. Hopefully, he will genuinely learn his lesson this time around.
