  1. hope the other covers are dope,, can’t wait 4 that album

  2. Different I give him that atleast Ye ain’t afraid to experiment.

  3. Hopefully one of them are the original Power artwork. Without the red. Even so, they will be dope.

  4. why would you leave over 50 % of you album cover empty? i don’t get it…

  5. wack

  6. Wha…??

  7. I don’t get it. Please expand on this cover Kanye. Part of being arty is having a motive behind your eccentricity.

  8. nice innovation ! can we see bear again?

  9. Ye found an artist or a couple of artists he really likes. This is pretty clear with both the album work and cover (since Power) and his GOOD music album work in noir.

    I am happy for Ye, he is getting more sophisticated. Honestly, this shit is so much better than the corny rap covers of actor-thugs mean muggin I seen for the past 20 years.

  10. wack

  11. Is that suppose to be a transexual or something? A female with a mustache? I always defended Ye when people would say he is gay but the last couple of months has shown me that he might very well be a “wrist bender”.

  12. wack2

  13. any info on the new kanye song that leaked?

    kanye – hell of a life

  14. man what happened to the lil bear from college dropout & late registration?? this sum bullshit kanye

  15. People should think before they “open their mouths”. Stating an opinion is one thing, but some of the half-assed shit people say just amazes me.

  16. ^^^^^lol i don’t think that’s a mustache but i feel what ur saying haha… and @red the thing is i think he does it just because it is different… NOTHING ELSE… He wants people to look at him in such high regard, that he pulls these faux artistic ideas out his ass

  17. lol that little bear is fucking wack, I always hated that motherfucker

  18. No fuckin comment…

  19. Honestly, I’m not really feeling these covers. He should’ve stuck with the teddy bear theme

  20. I hope he didnt pay for his covers. My forst grade class can make something hotter. This guy isnt artisitic hes just trying to be dofferent to get his own lane. How about Kanye making a hot beat like when you werw with the roc.

  21. No, that’s for sure a mustache, there is nothing else it could be.

  22. Artists always change. Sometimes for the better. I don’t know about Kanye.

  23. @ N.Cville take a walk through a modern art museum and tell me that a 8 year old couldn’t make half of the work in the collection. It’s about the message and motive behind your art.
    The problem is that I don’t see a message or motive in this cover.

  24. the red is just terrible. he should bring that bear back.

  25. what happened to the fresh album covers he had college dropout, late registration, GRADUATION, even 808 and heartbreak was pretty clean… this ish looks like some preschool art project… DEFINITE FAIL…. but still going to jam to it…

  26. i think she’s blushing son lol.. i guess thats just how the artist colors it idk

  27. Ok.are we going to pretend like this ain’t some suspect shitt??

  28. if this doesn’t get better I’m gonna need Shake to make a new dope cover

  29. news

  30. Obviously the red is for Hell, where his fantasy takes place people… sheesh

  31. Nigga has gone crazy! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  32. Clearly he’s trying to be different but this is trying to hard..I understand the minimalism theme but this is meh..

  33. what do u want from that damn bear? it was boring

  34. I like the Red but not feelin’ the pics in the middle

  35. @fuck no kanye: you said bear back(bareback) lol!!! Yeah ur gay.

  36. it’s the monopoly aristocratic upper class mustache. he’s implying that women are gold diggers obviously. not that he is attracted to transexuals.

    also the hell of a life song is dope…beat is pretty hard. Kanye sings on the chorus and spits some bars…I would think its coproduced by Ye and No ID.

  37. hope for next shitz

  38. this cover is beautiful art, just as the banned one

  39. All of the covers are going to be almost the same. They will all have the red background with something different in the middle, so no point in even looking forward to them. If you don’t like this one, you won’t like any of them.

  40. IF THIS AINT THE LAZIEST MOST POOR EXCUSE FOR A ALBUM COVER WTF I CANT GET JIGGY WITH THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!

  41. Ok.NO-ONE thinks this is suspect????

  42. if u cant get message of this arts, so ure a faggot. LOL

  43. *these

  44. He shoulda named the album, “My Eccentric Uninteresting Alternative to Good Ass Job.”

  45. so we’re just gonna act like this isn’t the runaway single artwork? my vote is for the original banned one.

  46. My Ugly Twisted Bad Ass Job

  47. It made a good cover for Runaway but I don’t see how this is beautiful dark twisted or fantasy-like unless that’s a hermaphrodite on the cover…

  48. ^ Right? I was gonna say the same, this is already single artwork. But, still dope. I’m liking the red background thing. Stoked to see them all, eventually.

  49. mmmh got no problem with the picture. you gotta get less paranoid of homosexuality.
    i see that he got some actual ‘art’ on the cover, but i don’t think these are very good, interesting, or appealing.

  50. red background with a random white chick 5 diff times? -YAWN- why is this news? stop posting this bullshit.

  51. Yea Ima Download it & Not Buy. Kiss My Ass iDnt Giva Fuck.

  52. So Kanyes dark twisted fantasy is the monopoly guy in a black dress.. I’m speachless

  53. I give up.SMH.

  54. ay can someone make some artwork of their own, it would be (2)Dope if yall would hold a competition for some Kanye Album Alternative Art because i feel like these cover’s are gonna suck.
    SERIOUSLY!

  55. it would be funny if the 4 other covers were just that same dancer in a different color dress lol

  56. The point of artwork is to catch your eye, and it has, that’s why this post alone has 50+ comments already. Red is a very protruding color and attracts attention (why do you think all McDonald’s buildings and Wendy’s buildings have red everywhere?). Ye did his research on marketing strategy. And everything Ye does is straight from his mind, which is why it doesn’t always make sense to us. Does anyone really understand the concept of the Power “video”? No, but it’s not like he just threw a bunch of shit in the air. All this shit has a purpose to him. I don’t necessarily like this artwork, but I respect Kanye for just putting his visualizations out there. He’s not afraid to show his vulnerability, unlike too many artists.

  57. this is off the runaway single art…at least one more would have a sword through kanyes decapitated head on it….

  58. i think i am speaking for everyone when i say what the hell is this

  59. So is Kanye telling up in his “Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” He’s a White Ballerina with a drinking problem?

  60. how bout yall stop bitchin about a cover like really its sum fukkin paper on the front the album case. the album sounds great and i kinna dig the artwork. all these dumb niggas sayin shit is suspect woow… smh

  61. Finally!Griff makes sense.

  62. Don’t get me wrong Kanye was suspect way before this album cover..

  63. kanye makes our times funny! LMFAO

  64. suspect what da fuck? gayfish nigga

  65. This is the same red his been using for the typeface on all the good friday tracks (i think). I must say it’s a really unique shade. I fucking hate red, but this colour is tight.

  66. KANYE WEST WANTS TO BE WHITE

  67. this is worse than the Clipse cover

  68. Don’t care. I don’t need 5 different covers for some shit that people are gonna download anyway.

  69. wow lmfao…kanye is a freak….but the covers are legit…stand out more than all these wack rappers with their faces all over the cover

  70. ye just fucking with ya’ll

  71. i really hate reading the comments. bunch of ignorant people on here making stupid comments.

  72. I miss dropout bear

  73. Word Titan word

  74. it’s called my beautiful dark twisted fantasy for a reason…
    shit isn’t supposed to make sense

  75. Please, wit a bullet on top.

  76. okay, if my theory is correct, kanye is a genius for having this be his album cover.

    1. by not putting his name or album title on this cd, no one knows who this is by and with an album cover like this, it’ll def spark the interest of people who don’t normally listen to kanye west or might not look at the album cus it blatantly states it is a kanye west album.

    2. with a very interesting album cover like this, it’ll appeal to people who are NOT mainstream music listeners/kanye fans. he doesn’t need to attract the mainstream music listeners/kanye fans because they ALREADY know about him and will buy his album. by doing this, he’s getting a whole new crowd into his music. (trust me, people buy albums solely based off the cover)
    3. i’m pretty sure this album will cross genres like no other kanye CD so, he wanted to pick an album cover that will intrigue people of all sorts of musical tastes and what better way to do that than KEEPING IT SIMPLE?

    kanye is a genius. nuff said.

  77. Gay just like his new music

  78. wack…i hope the other ones are better

  79. BRING THE DROPOUT BEAR BACK!!!

  80. @N.Cville nice grammar. oh, and fuck Kanye. never could spit in the first place

  81. How could you say they lived they life wrong?
    If you never fucked with the lights onnn.

    Have yoooou lost your mind.

  82. All you women do on here is complain…take a long hard look in the mirror.

  83. first off this was the funniest shit I’ve seen all day
    “My Eccentric Uninteresting Alternative to Good Ass Job.”
    Good Ass Job LEX

    But damn Kanye smh this is a perfect example of trying too hard to be different. From what I’ve seen, I can assume that all of the covers are gonna be similar to this so you probably shouldn’t expect much more. Im not gonna tell him what to do but this bad. Hopefully his “Beautiful Dark Twisted” lyrics are worth it

  84. The dropout bear is legit but i guess this i s cool. Its about the music so whateves

  85. simple is better. anyones whose taken graphic design classes know that negative space is a positive. its cool. they are all going to be like this w/ different pictures in the middle

  86. I see there’s a lot of people that need to take a trip to museum or two.

  87. @youngcosby: Everything in a museum aint beautiful art^ but because it’s a museum you automatically assume that because that’s what your taught to be believe.. I don’t need to be a expert at ascetics to know this isn’t a good cover..

  88. i really don’t give a flying shit what the cover looks like. it is beyond me why i even clicked on this post and am typing this comment right now.

  89. wow smh..hes trying too hard..the hipsters will eat this up tho

  90. *or at least come up with some retarded theory on why this is good artwork lol

  91. Fishdicks

  92. the bear!!! We Need That!!!

  93. LOL @ superslim

    +100

  94. LMFAO, of course… a fuckin ballerina… hes is def tryin too hard tho…

  95. I was expecting something way better…
