Kanye West's appearance on VH1 TV show Storytellers is to be released on DVD/CD.

The 70-minute performance was recorded in Los Angeles in February and features some of the rapper's biggest hits.

Three previously unseen songs and a Q&A session with West are also included on the disc, according to Rap-Up.

West's appearance on Storytellers courted controversy when segments of the show were cut before broadcast.

Exerts edited out included West criticising Radiohead, one of his favourite bands, after singer Thom Yorke ignored him at the Grammy Awards.

"So when he performed at the Grammys, I sat the fuck down," West was quoted as telling the Storytellers audience.

The rapper also told people during the taping to give Chris Brown “a break” - less than a month after the singer attacked girlfriend Rihanna.

West's appearance on Storytellers will be released on January 5 via Def Jam records.
