West puts on show for high school students
Hip-hop star Kanye West gave a group of Californian students a treat on Monday, when he played a free concert at their high school.
The Jesus Walks rapper performed a six song set at Santa Monica High School before chatting with the students, who secured his appearance after winning a local radio contest.
West says: "The great thing about school, and the bad thing about it, is that you can just sit there in the back of the room and not pay any attention. In real life, being shy is not going to get you anywhere. I get educated every day."
West stopped in the middle of his hour-long set to take questions from the crowd - including one about the grades he earned in high school.
He admitted: "I didn't do a lot of homework. But I got a lot of A's and B's."
