Kanye back in the studio
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 5 January 2010
Kanye West is back in the studio recording new material. The new songs will be better than any of his previous work, he says, because he is a “true poet”.
Writing on his blog, West said: “I’m so happy to be back in the studio making new music. I will bring you the best I have to offer with the same dedication that Kobe [Bryant] has on the [basketball] court”.
He continued: “It’s funny how so many rappers get worse as their careers stretch out but true poets get better. We will follow in the footsteps of Maya Angelou, Gil 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 represent what is happening now, so when the powers that be try to rewrite history you can always look at our works and find truth and sincerity in a world of processed information”.
