JUST a month before its release, Kanye West's new album has been banned because retailers have deemed it too rude.

The cover for Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the inspiration for the film he premiered in Sydney last week, was pulled by West's record company as it features a painting of the star and a winged woman reclining naked on a bed.

In typical style, West went on a four-hour Twitter rant yesterday blaming retailer Wal-Mart for stifling his creativity.
"Banned in the USA!!! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!" he tweeted.

"In the '70s album covers had actual nudity."
