Looks like the minds of the public aren't as twisted as you want them to be!

Lady luck has once again taken a vacation on renowned rapper-producer Kanye West, who recently made peace with country sensation Taylor Swift. Now, His proposed cover for the upcoming album Twisted Fantasy, has been banned by Wal-mart.


"Banned in the USA!!! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix," Tweets a frustrated West. And a lot of other things if you could only read their minds, pal.

46324, USA. Monday October 18, 2010.  NO WEST FOR THE WICKED: Rapper Kanye West has launched a Twitter tirade after his latest album cover was banned in the US. Kanye, 33, says officials have ruled that the front of his 'My Beautiful, Dark, Twisted Fantasy' album is too explicit. The cover art on the front of the CD features a couple with demonic faces and wings straddling each other on a sofa. Writing on Twitter Kanye says the image has been banned in America - meaning the album won't hit the shelves. He wrote: ''Yo! They banned my album cover! Banned in the USA! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!  ''In the '70's, album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now. I know that cover just blew y'all minds... I wish y'all could see how hard I'm smiling right now! ''In all honesty, I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers. I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity.

The controversial masterpiece reveals an artistic expression of West in the nude, with some booze in his hand while being straddled with what seems to be a mythological bird in female form. The musician stood in defense of his craft, pointing out more bold comparisons.

"In the '70s album covers had actual nudity... It's so funny that people forget that... Everything has been so commercialized now," reveals West in a follow-up Tweet.

So will this album be worth all that intense hype? One thing for sure, Kanye West won't take no for an answer!
