I just want to give props to CL for having taste enough to delete some of the negative comments that some people are posting at a time like this. We all know that Kanye reads this blog, and so your efforts to be sensitive to him at this time speaks volumes about the character of this site.

Co-sign CMEEZ. I mean really. Some people just lack respect and are so uncouth. There’s a time and place for everything. This is not the time or the place to attack or question Kanye’s personal character. Just put yourself in his shoes for a minute and think of how it would feel if someone was ridiculing you during a time when you’ve faced what might be your greatest loss. SMH @ all the ignorance. Fan or not, can people let ignorance go for just ONE MINUTE?????

What is wrong with you?! Kanye just lost his mother and that’s all you have to say. If you can’t say anything possitive say nothing at all. Some of you are being really rude.

@ Sara

Kanye will not be doing a show this Saturday so call ticketmaster and get your money back. This was unexpected he needs time to heal.

#294 Wiggins, you have no clue do you? It’s so disrespectful to get on here talking about your dumb ass opinions! We don’t care what you think so shut the hell up. You can not avoid death!!!! If it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go no matter how you go. It’s God’s will. You are sitting up here assuming that she had some work done to approve her appearance when none of us knows the actual details. If she was having a breast reduction, she could have been in need of one because of serious back pain. GO AWAY you damn IDIOT!!!!!!

I hope CL will have enough people on these comments to delete all of the stupidity off of here. This is not the time and the place so everyone needs to have some respect. The same respect you would want if you lost your mother!!!!!!!!

I would like to extend my condolences to Kanye West and his family my prayers go out to them. I hope that they can find out why Ms. West died so suddenly without warning. The only thing I can think of is GOD said “It was time to come home” and when GOD speaks you have to listen and answer him. GOD BLESS the West family and the staff/fans of Concreteloop.com

Just because people don’t care for a person dosn’t mean they wish hurt and bad things on them. Losing a loved one is difficult everyone knows that so just because people who normally dont’t care for Kanye are sending their prayers dosn’t mean they aren’t sincere.

This is from a Kanye fan.

Kanye, I know what you are going through. I lost my mother almost a year ago and she was only 56 years old. She died suddenly in her sleep. It was a shock. All I can say is this…your mother was very strong and she loved you so much continue to carry her life through you. You are gonna go through every single emotion to the fullest. There will be times you are gonna cry so hard you won’t be able to see then there are times you will laugh…everything is going to remind you of her even your actions so cherish them. You are a rapper so that means you write….create a journal of every memory you have even the very moment you found out she was gone believe it or not it helps. I am still going through the pain…Thanksgiving was the last holiday we spent with our mom she died early December but we didn’t find her till the day after my brother’s birthday December 12th.

I can’t tell you it’s gonna get better but rely upon God’s strength, your strength and the love that you shared with her and you will survive. I am so sorry and even though I don’t know you, I do know your pain…just hold on.

Thanksgiving is next week.

I can’t imagine the sorrow the brother Kanye West is going through right now.

Hold on & Hang Strong my brother.

Your mother would NOT want to see you break down now.
Be strong for your family……

BRING BACK THE DEAD

Monday, November 12, 2007 /

my heart goes ouut to tjhe west fam

SHE is must of been very proud of her son–he was at his peak n she passes away how devastating.

But she lays to rest peacefully-knowing God is by her side, n she accomplised alot–4rm manager, getting her book out, being a english chairman, being a great mom and producing a great producer.

RIP dr.donda west

BRING BACK THE DEAD

Monday, November 12, 2007 /

Hey Mama), I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I’m so proud of you
Let me tell you what I’m about to do, (Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I’m goin back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama)

[Verse 1]
I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine
This little light of mine and I’m finna let it shine
I’m finna take yall back to them better times
I’m finna talk about my mama if yall don’t mind
I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi
Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
You fixed me up something that was good for my soul
Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?
You work late nights just to keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn’t give me a curl
And you never put no man over me
And I love you for that mommy cant you see?
Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes
Cuz a nigga cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
I said mommy Imma love you till you don’t hurt no more
And when I’m older, you aint gotta work no more
And Imma get you that mansion that we couldn’t afford
See you’re, unbreakable, unmistakable
Highly capable, lady that’s makin loot
A livin legend too, just look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Forrest Gump mama said, life is like a box of chocolates
My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate
Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with
But still supported me when I did the opposite
Now I feel like it’s things I gotta get
Things I gotta do, just to prove to you
You was getting through, can the choir please
Give me a verse of “You, Are So Beautiful To Me�
Can’t you see, you’re like a book of poetry
Maya Angelou, Nicky Giovanni, turn one page and there’s my mommy
Come on mommy just dance wit me, let the whole world see your dancing feet
Now when I say Hey, yall say Mama, now everybody answer me (Hey Mama)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I guess it also depends tho, if my ends low
Second they get up you gon get that Benzo
Tint the windows, ride around the city and let ya friends know (Hey Mama)

[Verse 3]
Tell your job you gotta fake em out
Since you brought me in this world, let me take you out
To a restaurant, upper echelon
Imma get you a jag, whatever else you want
Just tell me what kind of S-Type Donda West like?
Tell me the perfect color so I make it just right
It don’t gotta be Mother’s Day, or your birthday
For me to just call and say (Hey Mama)

[Chorus] (with variations)

‘I said mommy Imma love you till you don’t hurt no more’

Kanye,

I cant even imagine an emotion to match your pain but im here for you ALL the way man. she was more than just your mother. she was a WELL educated black SINGLE parent woman who not only raised a SUCCESSFUL and BEAUTIFUL son but helped educate others. you both should be idolized for your success,beauty, && worth. the storm wont last forever and there is always a lesson to learn. She raised you to be strong and now is the time to show her that she has done well. i can only hope the best for you. my prayers go out to you and your family. for ANYTHING, hit me up =]

I cannot even begin to imagine the pain Kanye is going through right now. Stay stong brother, your mother will always be with you.

As for the fool calling people “fake” for expressing their condolences, what the hell do you expect people to do? His mother just DIED, you don’t have to be a Kanye fan to express sorrow.

Some people on this blog, I swear….

My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to Kanye and his family during this extremely difficult time. I can’t imagine the pain and hurt he’s going through right now. He and his mom seemed so close, I pray that God will see him through this difficult time.

The Kanye haters need to back off right now. Right now, this isn’t about whether you like Kanye or not, but letting him mourn and grieve in peace. It just sickens me how people can be so heartless and simple-minded without putting themselves in his situation right now.

Tuesday, November 13, 2007 /

You know, I hate to say this, but vanity is what most likely killed Dr. West (RIP), it had been a known medical fact that Dr. West had heart problems, thus,this is why it makes since why most of the 90210 doctors would not perform the surgery on her, thus, she went to a back street shady azz doctor who decided that we would most likely do it for the dough, and not for the ethics that he should had advised her on other options and or decided not to risk it himself. I SHMDH…This did not need to happen. All the smarts and being a professor, did not heed the ignorance that preceded her unwarranted death, she should had researched this more, before risking her life. This is the same cat who has a show on the Discovery Health Channel, and showed Lisa Raye’s/the Brat’s mother getting the same and or similar procedure last year on the channel. SHDH.
