Kanye Too Hot For TV?

It seems Kanye's proposed show for HBO, produced by Larry Charles, may not make it to air. At least, anytime soon. Said Charles:

It was really good, but ... I think it was too hard-core for HBO. Also, HBO's management shifted. HBO doesn't have a good track record when it comes to black shows, and I felt like that may have had something to do with it also. I don't see a lot of shows about that experience at all. This was very entertaining and we showed it to a lot of people. People gave it a very good response, and it seems to be on the shelf right now. The management has shifted at HBO so we're waiting to see.
The project was described as a Kanye version of Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Is the Wire on Showtime or HBO? I understand this is only one example of a show, but it's a damn good show.
