This album cover is unexpected considering this is a Rap/Hip Hop genre artist, this type of thought provoking album art is usually ones seen as the album covers of indie bands or artists which are not mainstream. However this type of album cover is not unexpected from the artist Kanye West considering his previous album art: All being of pictures that do not include him, but contain connotations of characters that could be considered as him.
as this particular album comes with a "Parent advisory warning" which is not part of the immediate album art but is a message affixed by the Recording Industry Association of America, we are subliminally told that the content of this music is going to be considered as explicit. This album art in its self can be considered as explicit as it shows a naked "Female" and "Male" on top of each other. The strange nature of this album cover can be closely linked to the title of the album "My Beautiful dark twisted fantasy" this strange picture is not one that you could interpret at first glance but you would have to consider the meaning of it as it is on a album cover. The bold red out lining is an interesting choice considering the connotations portrayed when the colour red is seen, this conveys: Danger, blood, war, power, love and passion.
Here are other covers of Kanye West to show his atypical choice of album art.
