Kanye West Album Cover “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasies”
When I first saw this album cover I was almost certain that my eyes were deceiving me. Knowing Kanye, I'm sure that was his attentions. I actually sat at my laptop for 30 minutes trying to understand why he made this his album cover. Moments later I connected the fact that the name of his album was “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasies” and I began to ponder. My mind began to drift to other black male entertainers (past and present); suddenly his album cover began to make a lot of sense. Entertainers from Rick James to Dennis Rodman and countless others that have been “in the closet” have lived this reality. You have to realize that it’s not a black or white thang, but it seems to be a standard for some of the black men that become successful to drink excessively, snort cocaine, and have sex with white women when they reached the level of being a “ROCKSTAR”. Hopefully I’m not the only one that understood the statement Kanye is attempting to convey to his audience, because if not I’m sure there will be a lot of controversy with this album cover. Needless to say this is art, and Kanye West in my eyes is a Master Artist. Genius! Lol
