@markpicken: Well, don’t blame Kanye, blame yourself for always falling for what mainstream artists put out as “gospel” as opposed to seeing it for what it is “mass marketing” gimmicks to get chumps like you hyped over much of nothing. I think this story takes away from Kanye’s credibility. When you’re good, you don’t need these type games… just stay true to your fans whose money help you ball, homeboy!

Thats some smart marketing. Ye knows whats up. Back before the digi age, an album cover def helped market a record.

Kanye’s artistic vision & lyrics are Fresh. Always pushing th envelope & forget the corporate market place, all they care about is money. I’m glad he chose the album cover he did people need to stop being so bitchy & just listen to the CD if a cd cover bothers you that much I feel sorry for you (No Life) or perhaps jealousy. At least he chooses to be creative with his work instead of doing the usual looking tough guy pic with a gun & some drugs & some hot piece of ass, forget that. Ye keep up the controversy show these lame white americans how to be an artist. Ye always & the album bumps. Support his work.

1st comment ever. HA!
I showed the artwork to my wee brother and he thought it was cool as fuck!
That was until i showed him the title.
Then his exact words were “fuckin’ shite”.

I like this album. In fact,I love this album compared to the last.
In fact compared to majority of lame recent releases! My only BUT is about the hype and pathetic controversy!
