Why should this be taken offensively???  I have seen worse images(that I have to turn my face away from) in horror movie trailers on television.  Not that I am a religious nut - but, why is everything connected with God or Jesus so off bounds yet we are inundated with horrible images from media daily about everything else in this world???

It’s not so much offensive as it is just outright stupid. I’m not a religious person, infact I dispise religion as a whole but that has nothing to do with how I feel about this cover. This man thinks he is freaking GOD…he thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread. His head is about to explode from how GIGANTIC it is and it’s REDICULOUS! Next he’ll be on the cover of some magazine as gandhi or calling himself a prophet.

This guy needs to get over himself! He is so full of shit it’s not even funny! I can’t wait to see his world crash down around him. He thinks “god” saved him from that accident so that he could become a self richeous asshole? haha I think not!

Get over yourself Kanye

This guy’s ego is out of control, and yet I’m not offended.  I see it more as a tribute. 

Is he somehow comparing the black experience to the crucified Christ?

I personally don’t see anything wrong with the cover. Kanye West does get on my nerves with his whole diarrhea of the mouth routine. He wants to seem so opinionated and so the advocate for whatever but all I see is an insecure person with too much airtime. I’m not even into his music that much because I see him in interviews with his little squirrel cheeks running off at the mouth. I think he needs to stick to the music and stop trying to be the voice of black people b/c he makes himself look like an ass.

I agree…it’s just plain STUPID!!!

the cover itself don’t bother me, what bothers me is that he used “the passion of kanye”. people just forgot about being original. he said bush don’t care about black people, he probably don’t care about black people.

Thank you

I think that everyone is trying to capitalize on religion to get themselves further in their career… or as just a method of re-inventing themselves. From Madonna’s “Kabbalah” to Tom Cruise’s “Scientology”, Kanye has become the spokesperson for “Christianity”.

kanye’s ego is huge!
but i love him so!
the concept of a black jesus in the media is not new.
remember madona’s like a prayer video?
if you think about it jesus would have been of darker skin due to his location.
i have freinds that have a pictures of a black jesus in there homes.
its normal in my mind

Discusting. i am offended. get over yourself kayne not to mention bush cant control the weather and it was th eblack yes black mayor that messed up the relieve effort. idiot

Kanye West is one of the most conceited & arrogant person in this world. His ego is about the size of Texas. This guy has not one once of humility in his body. He should thank God he saved him from that car accident and keep his mouth shut & make music instead of thinking he is God. Hell he has a freaking shrine in his damn kitchen. Like someone in this post said, Get over yourself Kanye!!!

couldnt of said it better my self sweetmisses
