That Is One very sad story. I was supposed to see him perform @ Paris this Saturday and I think it’s gonna be for another day but I absolutely support him & understand him coz even though he doesn’t cancel his show he’s not goin to be in a good mood and i understand why so it’s better for him to postpone it. aNYway much love to Kanye’s fam

Your mother is in a better place now Kanye. Your family will be in my prayers and in my heart. Good Bless.

May GOD BLESS KANYE AND THE FAMILY,,,I COULDN’T IMAGINE THAT PAIN,,,,MUCH LOVE

RIP DR.WEST - SUCH TRAGIC NEWS. STAY STRONG KANYE!

wow, my deepest thoughts and prayers go out to kanye and his family

RIP TO DR.WEST.
SAD STORY.
KANYE LOVED HIS MAMA.
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS BE WITH HIM AND HIS FAMO!

Kanye must be a mess right now! but my prayers go out to the whole fam. R.I.P. DR DONDA WEST!!

I stil don’t know what 2 say..

I really don’t..

*still*

My thoughts and prayers are with Kanye and his family.

The West fam is in my prayers. Kanye has made his mother very proud!!!

I’m hurting for him. Losing a parent is one of the worst feelings in the world.

THERE IS NOTHING SWEETER THAN A MAN THAT LOVES HIS MOTHER. SHE WAS TRULY A GIFT TO THIS WORLD. SHE WAS A SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT A MOTHER CAN DO AND BE FOR HER CHILD. SHE WAS EDUCATED, PASSIONATE ABOUT LIFE (IT SHOWED IN HER FACE), AND SHE LOVED HER SON DEEPLY. KANYE IS TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN RAISED BY SUCH A GIVING AND KIND WOMAN. SHE WAS A SINGLE MOTHER. I DON’T LIKE THIS WORD SINGLE. SHE WAS A MOTHER. SHE WAS A POWERFUL INFLUENCE ON HIS LIFE AND SHE DID NOT NEED TO HAVE A MAN TO BE WHAT SHE NEEDED TO BE FOR HER CHILD. SHE OBVIOUSLY LIVED HER BEST LIFE. I GET TEARS IN MY EYES WHEN I SEE THEM TOGETHER, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT SHE HAS PASSED. MY MOTHER DIED WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG. THERE ARE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW DISRESPECTING THEIR MOTHERS. IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO HAVE A MOTHER RIGHT THERE BY MY SIDE INTO ADULTHOOD LIKE KANYE, I WOULD BE SO THANKFUL. IT IS SO NICE TO SEE A MAN, A BLACK MAN SO PROUD OF THE WOMAN THAT GAVE HIM LIFE AND GAVE HIM A LIFE TO LOOK FORWARD TOO. KANYE, MAY GOD BE WITH YOU IN YOUR TIME OF PAIN BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GREATEST LOVE THERE IS FROM YOUR MOTHER. KNOWING THE KIND OF WOMAN SHE WAS, I CAN NOW UNDERSTAND MORE THE MINDSET OF KANYE. REST IN PEACE DR. WEST.

My feelings are so hurt. Thanks for sharing the link to the videos. Kanye is in my prayers!

She seemed like a really sweet lady…she had a good spirit about her.
I’m praying for you and your fam, Kanye!!

omg i’m crying right now!!! Like for real

Dr. West death has hit me so hard like when Aaliyah passed just because I know how much Ye loved her.

I remember seeing those clips from MTV when they came out years ago. I love the song “Hey Mama” and it was the ringtone for when my Mom called me and she passed last December. I totally sympathize with you Kanye and you are in my thoughts and prayers

Man, this is all too sad. She seemed like the perfect mommy. My prayers and thoughts to her son, her family and friends.

Man this is so crazy!!! I feel so bad because being that Kanye is my favorite rapper, i gotta have luv 4 his mom 2 cuz she helped mold Kanye 2 b who he is now. Its so ignorant that all these stupid gossip sites are starting all these rumors about his mother in surgery…the family wants privacy so the public should respect it. I can’t imagine how he feels but it hurts me hearing him say “Thinking about all the things my mom did for me…it makes me wanna call her” in that video, now he can’t do that. I kno he probably goin hard in da studio wit a new song similar to roses. Keep ya head up ‘Ye…we luv u!!!!

#15, you are so right and I am sorry to hear about your mother passing at a young age.

I am a mother and I only have one child. I support my baby in everything she wants to do that is going to benefit her in life and contribute to her becoming a well-rounded woman in the near future. I love my daughter and I can’t see not having her back.

As a parent when you have a child that loves you like Kanye towards his mother, as well as my daughter, it makes your heart rejoice. If you don’t know what a blessing a child is then you shouldn’t be having children. If you are not going to do everything possible make sure you child have a future, then don’t have any children.

Kanye you was blessed with a great parents. The type of parent Bill Cosby was trying to get us to realize we all can be. There is nothing wrong with being a good mom and dad. We are our children foundation. And Kanye she gave you that. Its what going to get you through these trying times. Now when you think of her, you can SMILE, cause she had your back and you are successful becasue of it.

Donda West was a blessing and she will be missed dearly.

Tell the people you love that you love them, cause you never know what may happen.

Concrete Loop you are doing an excellent job on this coverage. I enjoyed the video.

I APPLAUD KANYE FOR LOVING AND RESPECTNG HIS MOTHER SO MUCH….THAT IS SO COMMENDABLE SEEING AS THOUGH EVERY MAN DONT REVERE THEIR MOTHERS AS HE DOES.

WE CAN ALL NAME OTHERS IN THE INDUSTRY THAT DON’T TAKE CARE OF THEIR MOTHERS LIKE HE DID. HE WANTED HER TO EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING HE DID. WOW.

HIS LOVE FOR HIS MOTHER IS BEAUTIFUL, AND OTHERS IN THE INDUSTRY, AS WELL AS US ALL SHOULD CHECK OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR MOTHERS, AND LOVE AND RESPECT HER NO MATTER WHAT, CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW YOUR LAST MINUTE WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING GOD GAVE TO U TO TAKE CARE OF U…

RIP DR. WEST

Thanks SUPERCENT
It is hard to loose a parent at any age. He was truly blessed. It is great you are working on who you are to be the best mother you can be. I truly agree with you on many points and especially about telling people you love them everyday. Life is too short. Seize the day. Cherrish the time you have with the ones you love and be kind to strangers. Life is too short to not be happy. I can say one thing about Kanye and his mom. They looked really happy together.

Kanye and his mom were so close and I know how hard it is to lose someone close to you like that, especially a parent.

My heart goes out to Kanye and may his mom R.I.P.

She’s still watching over you everyday Kanye just as she has always been. Keep your head up.

this really is too sad. i started crying earlier today when listening to ‘hey mama’, because kanye’s love for his mother is so apparent in the lyrics. it really hits home too…showing just how special a mothers love is.

stay strong kanye, and god bless.

i couldnt agree more #15

i have hey mama on repeat…non-stop

R.I.P. Dr. West

Wow. My heart is hurting for Kanye right now even more after watching that. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

The mutual love and respect they had and showed for one another is a wonderful thing.

Though her passing is tragic and expected, neither will have any regrets, because he showed her love and spent quality time with her while she was here. She contributed to and experienced his success with him.

He made his mother proud, and he was proud of his mother -

Though he will miss her and suffer through the loss,
his love, his memories, his pride in Dr. Donda West will shine bright enough to see him through this darkness.

I know how you feel but just keep your head up your mom will always walk with you.

R.I.P. Donda West..she appeared to be a very sweet woman and she valued education..she was sucha chicago woman..lol..love her for that..and may God be with you kanye through these tough times

Still praying for you Kanye! I would do ANYthing to have my parents back…even for a moment.

And those videos are heartwarming. Nice to hang on to the memories.

THE LOOP LOVES YOU KANYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P DR DONDA!!!

I hope you & your family can make it through this. I’m sure you guys will.

hold your head up kanye.trust your momma is looking down smiing on you.

tears are rolling down my face it feels like ive lost a loved one it truly does hurt and yea who commented saying it feels like aaliyah died it really does no one that sweet and passionate should die at such a tender age i kno she had more to do on earth b ut it happens and al you can do is rejoice that she is somewhere better watching over you,guiding you and protecting you and your loved ones…kanye keep your head up and just embrace the time you did spend with ms.west

The West family is in my prayers.

R.I.P
Dr. West (1949-2007)

So sad..

I never say death is unexpected. When your time has come, your time has come. God gives everybody a certain amount of time Earth. He gave Kanye’s mother 58 beautiful years on this Earth, 30 of them going into raising, teaching, guiding and chereshing her time with Her Son Kanye. I say she lived a full life. Donda was/ still is proud of her son and what she accomplished while living. Her spirit forever lives on. Kanye, you gonna make it through, trust.

Rest In Peace Dr. Donda West.

I’m so sorry for you lost, I’m pryaing for you and your family.

my condoloces and pray for the west family and all of dr.west love ones

God bless, this is got to be one of the top toughtest things you’ll ever deal with in your life. Live the rest of your life in a way that will make her proud; she’ll be watching.

rip dondra west…you iwll be truly miss sweetie. kanye stay strong and you got people here for you.

Kanye must be an absolute wreck right now, I feel terrible. I cannot even begin to imagine what he is going through. I can’t listen to Hey Mama without crying my eyes out, it has a whole new meaning now.

May you RIP Dr. West.

My prayers to kanye and his fam.this was just so sudden and no one deserves that pain of losing a parent.i know she was his best friend and i pray for both his strength and peace.

thats fuckin sad…I called my mom and told her Ioved her. I dont know what i’d do if my momma passed- lord forbid.

*told her I loved her

Ooops.

I hope Kanye has a moment to grieve in peace.

This might be the most commendable thing I’ve read in a very long time.

Kanye I am so sorry I was so inspired by the book “Raising Kanye” just like you your mother can story tell very well. A lot of the values your mother believed my mother did when I was growing up. No running the streets of Philadelphia and no getting on the train, just plain loving and caring and protecting your child. Your family seems very loving and you will definitely be in my prayers this is very heart wrenching and truly the saddest thing I heard in a long time.

Kanye I know during this time in your life there is really nothing anybody can say to you to cure the hurt that you are feeling at this moment…but always remember to seek the Lord ….Kanye my deepest and sincerest condolences from the bottom of my heart goes out to you and the rest of your family…Chitown & CSU is praying for you all….WE LOVE YOU….AND WE LOVED YOUR MOM!!

BTW I love the line when you say “your like a book of poetry/ Maya Angelou, Nikki Giiovanni/ turn one page and there’s my mommy”- Kanye “Hey Mama”

this is overwhelmingly sad news … however, i take some consolation in knowing that kanye gave his mother her flowers while she was alive … he acknowledged her, praised her, loved her and treated her like a queen … i’m glad she was able to see the fruits of her many years as a single mother pay off in such a gifted, intelligent and articulate man … i will certainly buy her book in her memory

Ye, you and your family are in my prayers brah! Keep ya head up and be strong! RIP Dr. West.

Just watching his mom made me love her. I am a single parent and I strive to take care of myself so I can be alive so my child won’t be hurt if anything ever happened to me. I would not want her to feel the great sadness, panic, and emptiness that I know Kanye is feeling right now. It makes me very very sad for Kanye. His mother looked like a very nice lady and a class act. She gave us a talented artist. I pray for Kanye and that God comforts him.

I feel for Kanye during this time of grief, He is my favorite rapper, and i loved how close him& his mother were, Rest in Peace to an intellegent women, Dr. Donda West.

This is all so sad. May Dr. West rest in peace. ‘Ye, stay strong broer.

I’ll be the first to admit I was raised by my mother. I keep her close to me always and cherish every moment, good or bad, as if I wouldn’t see her tomorrow. She’s been my cheerleader and I’ve been her “lil man” forever and I cannot think about going a day without hearing her voice, eating her cooking, or catching a wiff of her perfume as she walks by. Kanye, in case you actually come here and read this, I just wanna let you know that when it comes to expressing the adoration of your mother, that I get it and understand where you’re coming from. I can only imagine the grief you’re going through right now but from one “momma’s boy” to another, God bless you both.

Pass this on to Kanye West Concrete Loop. I really want him to read this.

Condolences to Kanye West…The first letter of each sentence of this poem I wrote, spells Donda West, and describes the feeling I imagine he has. I lost my mother too. I am so sorry she died so soon

Died too soon, unknowingly we ask why…trying to move
On…slowly,….with desperate prayer
Needing to remember her strength, relying on her love
Depending on memories of Mommy…Finally listening……….
At last, the omega lesson, tasting the tears she cried; remembering how she tried…

With guidance from above
Every time we think of love..we will
Stop
To think about Mommy….Always-

Sincerely
Candace Ballard

I couldn’t even get through half of the video without breaking down and crying. As so many others have said, “her death has affected me as Aaliyah’s did” and I don’t even understand why, I don’t even have one of Kanye’s albums. I love certain songs by him and think he is multi-talented but I don’t even know if I should consider myself a die hard fan. I just know that it hurts sooooo bad, like I personally knew her.

Angel, Tiannna, and Brian; you will honestly never know how much more I respect your blog for having the decency to respect Dr. West’s memory, Kanye, family and friends by not reporting speculations and/or facts of the cause of her death. (sp)

@Candace, I love your post. =)

My prayers go out to Kanye and his family…..hearing of her passing made me think about the rollercoaster of a relationship that my mom and I have…..and all of the simple BS that we allow to affect our relationships absolutely nothing should come between us and this again shows me that tomorrow is not promised. Wow is all I can say right about now. Blessings Kanye.

This is a tear jerker. RIP Dr. West. Condolences Ye. So sad.

BTW, Candace I love the poem!

This deeply touches my heart. The video was absolutely beautiful…. and it brings tears to my eyes. It shows that Kanye is only human….and right now, I know he is going through unimaginable pain…. May God Bless you Kanye….. I know your mother is looking down on you right now…. MAke her proud

Wow, he’s a wonderful artist. My condolensences to his family.

This is so sad, I’am praying for you Kanye. I was supposed to see you perform in Amsterdam next monday. R.I.P. Dr. West, everyone would love to have a mom like she was to Kanye.

F***!!! just watcing this tears my heart—-DAMN IT HURT-cz he constantlyshowed his love for his mama—damn i kno kanye is in too much pain—unbarely pain-he was a mamaz boi–and dr. west loved her son.

to kanye and family may God comfort you in this time of sorrow,and now youhave a beautiful angel watching over you.GOD BLESS

@15 I Get U, U Are Ohh So Right! I Was Supposed To See Ye Too! This Sunday In Belgium….But What Can I Say, I Cant Only Imagine The Way He Is Feeling Right Now, I Know Coz I’ve Been Through The Same Thing 2 Years Ago! And The Pain Doenst Disappear…R.I.P Mrs West, Stay Strong Ye, We All Love You!

I feel so sad for the West family, I knw that his mother was his biggest fan and that she was so proud of him. They seemed to be best friends everytime I saw them to gether. I know that she is still with him and smiling down on him from heaven. Regardless of what you hear in the media, it’s not important, the only thing that counts is the precious time that you spend with your loved ones and I know that that is what he would want all of you to remember, all the happy times that you saw him share with his mom. May god bless Kanye and his entire family. My prayers go out to the family. Kanye keep your head up and stay focused on what you do and continue to make your mother happy because I’m sure that’s what she would want you to do.

This is so sad, her death bothers me like when Aaliyah died i just hope kanye can stay strong coz i know his mama wouldn’t wanna see him all depressed and upset i hope god can keep him strong until he sees her again.

R.I.P Mama West

You rasied a winner

may god bless u and your family. may god strenghten u and build u up to be the man she want u to be.much blessings from the blessedhands family.

To #60. Candace, that poem was beautiful and heartfelt. Kanye stated that he reads this site and I hope he reads your poem. I’ve been a fan of Kanye since day one and seen him perform live, so knowing that he is in pain from his loss definitely affects me as if I knew him personally.

Ye, stay strong baby. I know there are no words to express the pain your in. It is so beautiful to see a man love his mother as much as you did. Your mother is truly blessed to have you as her son. Alexis is blessed for having a wonderful man like you in her life. Keep your mother’s memory in your heart always. We are all here for you Kanye.

R. I. P. Dr Donda West

I forgot to mention that I agree with a few other posters in respecting Concrete Loop for exploiting her death, but rather encouraging fans to show their love and support for a family that is grieving and in pain. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date and giving us a place to show support for Kanye. Keep up the good work Tianna, Brian, and Angel! If Kanye gets around to reading this, I know he will appreciate you guys to.
