Kanye Slams the Media at Essence Music Festival (July 2011)
“It feels good to be home. When I say home, I’m talking about with my people. I been around the world… got into a little controversy here and there. Even though the media tries to lie to you every day, I just wanna say I thank ya’ll for standing by me and supporting me even when they said my career was over … I don’t do interviews anymore because the press be trying to kill me, I let the music speak for itself.”
