Kanye West has such clout that he was able to create an industry-wide kerfuffle with one image: the supposedly "banned" cover art of his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album. But the controversy over that cover is just the tip of the iceberg. Because, as he told MTV News on Monday night at the Los Angeles premiere of his "Runaway" film, he's not planning to stop with just one cover.
"Well, actually, it's five covers," West said. "And you get all five of them when you buy the album."
West wouldn't reveal what the other covers would look like, or if artist (and frequent collaborator) George Condo would be creating them. But he did discuss the process behind the now-infamous Fantasy artwork, which portrays the rapper being straddled on a couch by a naked, armless, winged woman with a polka-dot tail. According to West, he wasn't aiming to create a controversy with the image; rather, he just went to Condo with a basic idea and was blown away by the result.
