A rough, unofficial cut of Kanye West’s penalization recording for “Monster,” featuring the talents of Rick Ross, Jay-Z, and Nicki Minaj (in a threefold role), hit the cyberspace months ago.  Still, on Monday, it was announced that MTV rejected West’s “Monster” recording for air, asking the creator and adjudge to re-edit some of the more realistic scenes.

There’s no uncertainty that “Monster” is dark--to the saucer of nearly being a fivesome minute horror show.  West greets us with images of departed women throughout, their bodies hanging by rope from the cap patch another haphazardly lie person in bed.

What’s interesting most West’s “Monster” is that every of the departed women are white, an extreme feat from the typical rap penalization recording that features light-skinned black women.

So, is Kanye West’s “Monster” getting heat for its disagreeable depiction of women in general, or is there more at impact here?  Are we seeing, shall we say, a “Taylor Swift-effect” in play, where the big, black brute’s endeavor to alteration the innocent, lilly albescent blackamoor is met with strong resistance?

It’s thickened to feature with absolute conviction.  Kanye’s recording for “Monster” does feature disturbing images that nearly sure cannot be shown during daytime broadcasting hours in its underway iteration.  Not exclusive are we privy to departed women in the video, but digit environs in portion shows West holding the severed nous of a teen lady.

Still, the penalization recording medium--rap penalization in particular--is digit that has no difficulty showing half naked black women quiver their assets in face of the camera. 

Getting intoxicant poured every over their bodies. 

Getting assign game swiped downbound their backside.

And MTV is the aforementioned meshwork that makes it’s money soured of the often inappropriate “Jersey Shore,” patch also attempting to purposefully shock, offend, and itch its audience with its newborn written exhibit “Skins.”

If “Monster” featured dead black bodies in the backdrop of West, Jigga, and Minaj’s raps, would the ire hit been the same?  Would Team Kanye hit to command in the hostility as much?

We’ll never know.  What we do know, is that despite having arguably the prizewinning medium of 2010, Kanye West is ease vilified in the open and media.  Some of that is his possess doing--he does hit a tendency to speak his mind no matter the situation, time, or place.

But Kanye ease relic buried in the dominate of the MTV VMAs incident, a microphone-snatching moment seen ‘round the world.  In fact, during the 2010 Thanksgiving Day Parade, on-lookers booed Kanye’s float as it crowd downbound the streets of New York.

On Thanksgiving Day.

Whether “Monster” is being re-edited cod to race, violence, or a compounding of both is hornlike to decipher.  But whether the President Swift-effect relic aware and well is such easier to discern.
