Ice-T album cover - too raunchy for music stores

Apparently a lot of music stores in the U.S. aren't stocking Ice-T's new album because of the picture on the front cover.
But it seems that Ice-T is keeping a sense of humor about the whole thing.
Music shops across America are refusing to stock Ice-T's new album because of the raunchy image on the cover.
The 48-year-old rapper poses nude with his stripper wife Coco draped over him, barely covering his usually concealed weapon. Unless his record label places stickers over the album - which is titled Gangsta Rap and is his first in seven years - the legendary rapper faces a boycott by stores.
He said: "What can I say, I have been doing these kinds of things for years. You should see the picture when Coco's leg is not there."
Thank you Coco for being a big legged woman.

Record store? What's that? Oh, you mean iTunes, right?
Went to Tower this weekend for its big going out of business sale. They were offering 20% off a $19.99 CD that was released in 1992 and is available on iTunes for $9.90. No wonder they're going out of business.
