Kanye's Album Art Controversy

By now you've all heard at least some mention of Kanye's album art controversy. He apparently tweeted angrily about Walmart's ban of his upcoming cd because of the obscene art on it's cover. Walmart insists that no such ban is in place. My concern is the fact that Kanye's attempt to create hype around his new cd, will fall on deaf ears. Didn't he get the memo? No one even buys cd's anymore. I don't think his target demographic will be looking for his cd on the shelves of Walmart anyway. Most of us save the time and effort by downloading new music. I don't know why he is so disturbed by this alleged ban. Kanye and his management had better tune in to the 21st century if they are going to have effective marketing ploys. There are supposedly 5 versions of the album cover in the works. Kanye's new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is due to be released on November 22, 2010.
