#KANYE WEST MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY DELUXE PLUS#
You've heard the story, how he set up camp in Hawaii and flew in hip-hop's creme de la creme - as well as indie rock and pop names plus Elton John! - to work on new material. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy includes Nikki Minaj, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver on the smash street single 'Monster' and Pusha T on 'Runaway' which received the Best New Music stamp from Pitchfork. 2010 release from 14-time Grammy-winning producer, writer and performer Kanye West.

Deluxe CD/DVD edition includes bonus DVD. Easily his best packaging to date, this is worth a purchase (or two).We're living in the 21st century, and Kanye West is definitely doing something to it. Kanye put a lot of care and attention into this one, and it really matches the greatness of the music. Not only is it one of the best albums to come out in the last 20 years, the packaging is also one of the most interesting to come out in the last 20 years. But if you are pissed off about the censorship, I recommend you just import your copy.Ĭonclusion: Absolute buy. Thankfully, the Phoenix art was not my favorite, and the other ones are stunning. And if Kanye was trying to make a statement against censorship in America, why not just censor the Clean version which would have made a bigger statement. Even with high-profile contributors Nicki Minaj (Monster), Elton John (All of the Lights), JAY Z (So Appalled, Monster), RZA (Dark Fantasy, So Appalled), and Bon Iver (Lost in the World), Kanye is clearly the orchestrator of this extravagant musical exhibition. Seeing as he used the Ballerina art for the display, then why censor it? It’s inside the booklet.
Had the Phoenix art been the display art, this would have actually made sense. My only gripe is that he chose to censor the Phoenix art (not only the painting) but the art on the disc itself. Although I should note this is for the Deluxe Edition.
And no, he doesn’t make you buy five different versions to get every art, they all come included. The coolest aspect of this release is the picture frame on the front of the digipack that allows fans to switch out the art. The gold font pops out against the red, the font itself is stunning. Kanye has always been obsessed with high class art and fashion. With all the grandiosity and scope of the album, it should come to no surprise the packaging matches the music. It’s very rare that we get to witness the release of something great, but here we are. Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a modern masterpiece.
