Kanye West who in found himself in trouble in 2009 following his storming of the stage in the MTV Video Music Awards claims his work just keeps getting better and better.

“We will follow in the footsteps of Maya Angelou, Gill Scott Herron and Nina Simone.
“Their work improved with time. They documented what was happening in culture. That is our responsibility as the modern day artists and poets, to accurately present what is happening now.”
The 32-year-old star also urged his fans not to believe everything they read in the popular press.
He added: “Let us look past headlines and deal with just a bit of reality in this new decade. We have our own outlets now.”
