Kanye continued over a series of tweets:
In the 70s 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 yall minds ... I wish yall 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 #Kanyeshrug! I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity.
So Nirvana can have a naked human being on they cover but I can't have a PAINTING of a monster with no arms and a polka dot tail and wings.
