"We back in the lab!!!" he wrote. "I'm cool with the paparazzi. This guy wasn't cool. I gotta work now... I'll rant later!"

TMZ reported that the rapper is now in Hawaii, where his blog post implies he is back to work on his upcoming album, 808's and Heartbreak, which is set to be released December 16.

The rapper also seems to be back to work on his blog. By the time the
update was put on his blog early Friday (September 12), he had already
put up 12 posts about various subjects, including the hotness of
"Clueless" star Stacey Dash and the coolness of the new Interview magazine cover, featuring supermodel Kate Moss.

On Thursday afternoon, West and his road manager, Don Crowley, were
released from the Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Division on
$20,000 bail following their arrests that morning. Both men were
charged with felony vandalism, stemming from an incident at LAX that
involved members of the paparazzi, according to a spokesperson for the
airport's public-relations office.

According to police, West and Crowley were waiting for a flight to
Honolulu when they were met by a photographer and videographer, who
started taking their photos. An altercation ensued, and the cameras of
both paparazzi were damaged by West and Crowley.
