tweeted an incensed Kanye West Sunday afternoon. Yes, the album cover for Kanye West's hotly anticipated album
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, depicting a werewolf-like Kanye being straddled by a nude, monster-faced female phoenix, was deemed indecent by Walmart recently. Kanye wasn't done giving the retail giant a piece of his mind,
tweeting "In the 70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now," before finally giving the retailer the
proverbial middle finger: "In all honesty ... I really don't be thinking about Walmart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug!"
