I get this feed in my Facebook discussing the origins of the Kanye West album sleeve, and it caught my eye as being so similar to PLC, the iconic Fontaine LaTour's "Roses".
ftw- Saville says that album covers are a "dead art", which rings somewhat true, in light of recent revelations.

What say you..?

I say Kanye West is a talentless, media-obsessed, shit-bag.
Power, Lies and Corruption you say? Didn't know the words had been switched around.
In 2013 there was a story about Kanye recruiting Peter Saville to design a new logo for him. As Saville doesn't appear to be getting credit for this thing, Kanye has almost certainly borrowed the idea, as he clearly knows Saville's work.
Wow that's pretty blatant.
I find it disappointing that such a large figure in music would do something like this.
Nobody will be able to touch West - has more powerful lawyers than anybody in the music business.
It's less of a lawyer thing, but more of a public shamming that he should get.
Someone should send this to Saville thoigh.
Considering the fact that his entire career was built upon ripping off other artists from the 80s and 90s, this cover suits him well.

I agree with you, I can't stand that profane vulgar potty mouth who thinks he is best out there, he sucks and he is married to a woman who has slept with everyone in hollywood.
