I don’t even know where to begin with this one. So… Kanye West has a new album coming out. The album is called…My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Because Kanye is a 13-year-old Goth girl who thinks The Cure is the most important band, EVER, in the whole world and history of music. The name alone is enough to make you laugh at Kanye. But Kanye is too wonderful to only give us an ulbum name to chuckle at. Kanye tweeted the cover art for his album yesterday… and it is spectacular. Go to the end of the post to see this sh-t. It’s amazing. Even MORE amazing? It got banned! Kanye sent out a flurry of awesome tweets bitching about how his album was banned too… my favorite line: “They don’t want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!” Best. Line. Ever.

My second favorite line is about Nirvana. You know what cover he’s talking about? This one. A naked baby on Nevermind. Yes, Kanye is correct, it’s still nudity. Gawker also pointed out that Kanye still isn’t as awesome as Jane’s Addiction – when Ritual de lo Habitual’s artsy nudity was banned, Jane’s Addiction just changed their cover art into the first amendment. Of course, that was all before Kanye wanted to represent with some phoenixes, yo.
