I would just like to send up my prayers to Kanye and his family. While I can not imagine what he must be feeling right now, I would like to offer this advice–God does not and will not put more on us than we can bear. Just stay prayed up Mr. West. God loves you.

I am shocked, stunned, and saddened by this…It’s just amazing how fleeting life can be that when a person pass, it’s so hard to believe cause they seemed to have been so full of life.

Every picture I’ve seen of Ye’s mother has been where she’s always smiling. I think that tells alot about her personality.

It appeared Ye and his mom were very close…My prayers go out to the West family, and i sincrely hope Ye takes the time to grieve properly, even though i know he has tons of things scheduled associated with the new cd, i hope his vendors and contractees are understanding of this horrible tragedy and not press him about formerly committed obligations.

Man, when I first heard about it on MSNBC earlier today, I caught the end of the segment. They were saying Dr. West WAS head of the English Dept. I said to myself why were they saying WAS, what happened!!! Then I read it on the internet that she had passed away. All I can say is WOW what a shocker. My sincere prayers go out to Kanye and his family. She is in a much better place now.

Thank you #18 for saying what I meant to say…I can’t believe that in a time like this someone would be ignorant enough to talk about the fact that they “can’t stand” someone they don’t even know!!! Just pathetic!

Secondly, I cannot express how shocked and saddened I am to hear this news. I know exactly what he’s going through, as I lost my mother last year and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to endure. I respect Kanye so much and am a huge fan of his music. My thoughts and prayers are with Kanye and fam ati this extremely difficult time. God bless…

This is a terrible tragedy for Kanye - there is little that can prepare you for the death of your mother, but when it’s so sudden and unexpected, it rocks you to your soul.

I pray that Kanye with find the strength to endure his loss, and that his memories and love for his mother will comfort him.

There is no pain like the pain of losing your mother.
God Bless and Keep him and give him peace - for him and his family.

I hope this is just a rumor or sumthin’. It really touched my heart when I saw this… No matter how much we love or hate *mostly love* ‘Ye, no one deserves something like this especially not at a time when things are going so well for him…

My prayers go out to ‘Ye and his family if this is indeed true. So sad… Feels like just yesterday I saw her on a cover of a magazine looking glorious with her son…

My heart goes out to KANYE and his family at this time.
I’m a huge fan of his and I only hope that he will be okay.
I can’t imagine how he feels because I have both of my
parents. my mother is around the same age as the late
Dr. Donda West. It just shows that anyone can go at
anytime. He seemed so close to her. You could feel the
love. His song, “Hey mama” has such a different mood now.

GOD please keep Kanye in your presence and under the
watch of your angels and help him through this time..

INSTEAD OF TRYING TO OBTAIN MATERIAL GAIN, OBTAIN SPIRITUAL FOOD, BECAUSE THAT IS TRULY THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN LIFE. DON’T GET ME WRONG THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OBTAINING WEALTH OR RECEIVING AND EDUCATION, BUT JUST REMEMBER THAT TRUE EDUCATION AND WEALTH COMES FROM UP ABOVE. KANYE’S MOTHER IS RESTING IN PEACE NOW, SHE IS NOW AWAITING IN A PEACEFUL SLEEP FOR OUR HEAVENLY FATHER TO GIVE HER THE DAY THAT CHRIST DIED FOR US ALL TO HAVE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE WEST FAMILY.

I can’t even begin to think what Kanye is going through right now. Almost all of his songs express some love for his mom in one way or another. Anyone that knows his music knows just how much Kanye’s mother mean to him.

Where ever Kanye is right now, I hope and prayer that God gives him some type of peace at this time. I’m so happy that he has a chick in his life to comfort him at this time b/c I’m sure he needs someone.

I am deeply saddened by this turn of events and wish to extend sincere condolescenes to Kanye and his family. This definitely hits home as I too was very close to my mother and it continues to hurt living without her. To Kanye, you will always remember this date and reflect on the last time you looked in her eyes before her passing. If you are able to receive any comforting advice at this time, maybe you can utilize your gift of song for some form of therapy. You displayed a strong bond with your mother and it was evident that she was the foundation for who you are. She would understand your grief, yet she would love to look down on her son continuing to strive the become the man she envisioned. Stay strong and embrace the memories you to shared.

How would you feel if this happened to you and you read or heard somebody saying that about you and whatever character flaw other ‘think’ YOU might have? For all we know Kanye could have just being doing all of that for publicity…that’s certainly worked. Leave your condolences but I just find it disrespectful to say that about someone who just lost their mom.

Got to be 50 cent fans with that nonsense.

That is so sad, and hate to be redundant, but unexpected. It must hurt like hell; I don’t know what to say. I don’t like to say “sorry” because I simply do not know how it feels to lose a loved one. I feel it doesn’t really say anything in my heart; I hope him & the family are coping. I know this hurts like hell. Keep your head up bruh.

Anyone who is a Kanye fan (even those who aren’t) knows he is crazy about his mother and the lyrics he wrote about her made you feel like you knew her too!

My prayers go out to the West family, Kanye stay strong!! God rest Donda’s soul. OMG! :(

PS: and to all the people making negetive comments about KanYe’s ego and sayin stuff like “he’s too cocky, maybe this will calm him down” you have to remember that we are all human and not perfect. Hell i thought he was kinda too sure of himself when he told me back in the day to my face that he was gonna be where he is now, but someones so called ego does not justify death or hoping death “calms him down”. We ALL have or have had a mother and you only get one. just a thought. peace

My prayers go out to Kanye , I know how hard it is to lose a MOTHER and especially one you are close too! I’ve been thru it. I pray that GOD gives him and his family the Strength to carry on like Dr. West would have wanted him to. I am sure she equipped her son with the mentality that know matter what life brings you, you must go on. I know it would be hard but I also Know that is what Dr. West would have wanted is for her baby to be as successful as he can be. You will never Heal but you will be able to cope. I miss my mother daily and it has been 20 years and I was 16 when she passed, I find myself on a regular crying and missing her and questioning why did this happen to me. But GOD knows and has it all in control and ultimately we must realize that.

From a Mother to a Son

Monday, November 12, 2007 /

OMG! I am so sad.. I just heard this this morning on MSNBC. As a single mother of an “only son”, I looked to Ms West as a role model. She was an intelligent, strong, and courageous black woman whose destiny to birth a star will ALWAYS hold special inspiration for me. My heart literally aches for you but I know the bond between a mother and a child is LOVE, STRENGTH, and most importantly FOREVER. Its SOOOO hard right now, damn near impossible, I know, but just remember them cold nights, them ass whippings, and the big smiles and you will find your perfect peace. Now, young man, NOW is the time to really make your mother proud. May the peace and understanding of Our Father be with you and yours.

“Rain rain go away .. let the sun come out and all the children say”

Regardless of whether Ms West’s cause of death was cosmetic surgery, a car accident or crack, that is none of your business to dissect, speculate or pass judgment on! THAT is whats wrong with us as a people. Why we will, sadly, never get past this gross state of confusion and self-depreciation. Plainly put: Where yo’ kids bitch?

“La la la la la la la la.. lala la la la..”

She will always be your mama, Kanye. Lean not on your own understanding but everything that she taught you in the Word of God. You will be amazed that He (and she) have been preparing you for this time your whole life.

Complications from plastic surgery? Tragic. She appeared to be a beautiful woman who was aging well. Let’s hope that Dr. West did not sucuumb to the “Workout Plan” type of misogyny that tells women that they have to look a certain way to be attractive, particularly to men.

Rest in Peace Dr. Donda West

Kanye West’s mother dies after surgery
By Sally Peck
Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 12/11/2007

Kanye West’s mother has died at the age of 58 after complications resulting from surgery.

Dr Donda West died in Los Angeles as the result of complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure, according to the BBC, which cited her publicist, Patricia Green.

The 30-year-old hip hop star’s spokesman said: “The family respectfully asks for privacy during this time of grief.”

West is believed to have been in London filming a video for his new song Homecoming when his mother died.

He has made no secret of his admiration for his mother, often bringing her to parties and awards shows and made reference to her on all of his albums.

On his 2005 Late Registration album he raps: “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.”

Although widely known as the mother of Kanye, Dr West had a 31-year career as an English professor, eventually chairing Chicago State University’s English department before leaving academia in 2004 to help manage her son’s career.

In May she published the book Raising Kanye: Life Lessons from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Star.

I didn’t even know her and I’m very hurt by this news. I know that Kanye LOVED his mother and I know he is going through it right now. I just hope and pray Kanye stays strong and lean on God first and all of his loved ones for support. I hate when people die but Kanye’s mother is very accomplished and has done so much in her short life that I know Kanye has plenty to be proud of. And I know that she now rest peacefully in Gods arms awaiting the day he says her name and she can once again be with Kanye.

It was obvious to the world how much your mother meant to you. Take time for yourself to grieve. Your fans ain’t going no where. And when you are ready to get back out there honor your mother w/every chance you get. You know she would want you to continue speaking your mind and being the best you can be. We love you and I am praying for you and yours

I HAD MY TV ON MUTE WHEN THEY BOTH KANYE AND MOTHER WAS ON THE NEWS SO I DIDN’T TAKE IT SERIOUS, I HONESTLY THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING A BOOK SIGNING OR HAVING A CONCERT, BUT SOMETHING SHOULDVE CLICKED IN MY MIND WHEN I SAW ALL OF THOSE PHOTOS ON THE NEWS….SOMEONE CALLED ME THIS MORNING AND TOLD ME AND I WAS STILL IN SHOCK, KANYE IS THE ONLY RAPPER I KNOW WHO REALLY EXPRESS LOVE FOR THEIR MOTHER (LL COOLJ AND SNOOP DOGG DO TOO BUT NOT AS MUCH) THIS TOOK ME BACK TO ON A CONCERT I WAS WATCHING OF KANYES ON TELEVISION AND WHEN HE WAS SINGING HIS SONG “HEY MAMA“ AND HE BROUGHT HIS MOTHER UP ON STAGE AND DANCED (CHICAGO PEOPLE CALL IT STEPPING)WITH HER, I THOUGHT THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL…. SHE WASN’T JUST A CELEBRITY MOM WHO WAS AT ALL THE PARTIES, SHE WAS A SMART WOMEN, SHE HAD THINGS GOING ON FOR HERSELF BEFORE KANYE MADE IT BIG, I JUST READ AN INTERVIEW WITH HER ON SATURDAY NOT KNOWING THAT THIS HAPPENED OR WOULD HAPPEN…. I LIKE HER BECAUSE SHE SHOWS THAT YOU CAN RAISE A CHILD ON YOUR OWN WHILE GETTING AN EDUCATION (WHILE I DON’T HAVE ANY CHILDREN, I DO HAVE TWO COLLEGE DEGREES THAT IM PROUD OF)THIS NEWS BROKE ME UP SO I KNOW KANYE IS TORE UP INSIDE, AND IT WAS UNEXPECTED…. I ALWAYS TELL MY MOM I LOVE HER, THAT’S NOTHING NEW, BBUT I HAD TO GO TALK TO MY MOMS, AND ASK HER IF SHE WAS TO DIE WHAT DID SHE WANT ME TO DO, BECAUSE THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY ALL THE TIME… SO IF YOUR MOM STILL HER ON THIS EARTH… GO SAY HELLO, I LOVE YOU, CAUSE SOME PEOPLE CANT SAY THAT NO MORE TO THEIR MOM… REST IN PEACE, DR./ MS.WEST YOU WILL TRULY BE MISSED

This is so sad to me. She was not a hoodrat mom that lived off of her child’s success. She was educated and taught her son to be a good young man. I am very saddened by this, and can only imagin how he is feeling. I also feel so blessed to have my mother. Thank you concrete loop for giving her family their privacy and keeping tact considering the fact that the headline of mediatakeout.com is “Kanye’s Mom Dies From a Tummy Tuck”…that is ridiculous.

You are in my prayers.

This is what happens when you have cosmetic surgery unnecessairly. All surgeries are dangerous, why put yourself at such risk for death? It is very sad, she was taken so prematurely over such a silly thing. She didnt need it for a deformity, she wanted it for vanity, and now she is gone. People, be happy with the beauty God gave you, it may not be beautiful to everyone, but you have to find it beautiful to yourself. Nothing is worth loosing your life to change.

DAMN. My cousin just told me about this two hours ago, and I ran to the computer to see if it was true, hoping that it was a rumor. Then I saw the headline and listened to Rhymefest’s comment on the radio. DAMN. We just couldn’t believe it. I talked to Dr. West when you two were in Chicago on Aug. 24th promoting the KWF’s Loop Dreams program. I’ll never forget when I interviewed her, how inspiring her words were, and I thanked her for helping make you the man you are. I’m e-mailing Patricia Green after this to let her know I will definitely help to make Loop Dreams a success in Chicago, just Dr. West would have wanted it. Kanye, I love you like a brother and your loss is mine. But like Fest said, she’s still here. I and the whole WESTSIDE of CHICAGO CELBRATE THE GREAT Dr. Donda West! I can’t hold back these tears of joy as I type, “HEY MAMA, I wanna scream so loud for you. Cause I’m so proud of you.” This avatar is the photo that my dad took.
We pray for your family.
-CLM
Here’s the story that I wrote on Dr. West and Kanye:
http://www.finalcall.com/...ublish/article_3960.shtml

DR. WEST’S WORDS TO ME IN AN INTERVIEW ON AUG. 24, 2007.
Q: What would you say to young women who have to raise young men on their own?

“I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THEY DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO DEVELOP THEMSELVES AS INDIVIDUALS, AS HUMAN BEINGS, AS WOMEN. AND TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THEY CAN BECOME THE MOST EVOLVED PERSON POSSIBLE, BECAUSE IT’S ONLY WHEN WE HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE TO OUR CHILDREN, THAT WE CAN GIVE IT. THAT’S NOT TO IMPLY THAT EVERYBODY DOESN’T HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE, BUT WE HAVE TO LEARN-PARENTING IS NOT SOMETHING THEY TEACH IN SCHOOL. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE REALLY REFLECT. IF YOU WANT TO READ BOOKS, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT TV, LET’S FIGURE OUT HOW WE’RE GOING TO HONE OUR PARENTING SKILLS AND LOOK AT OURSELVES FIRST. I’LL PUT IT THIS WAY; IF YOU’RE GOING TO PLAY BASKETBALL, YOU DON’T JUST GO OUT THERE AND BECOME A CHAMPION. YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE, YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THE SKILLS TO BE GOOD, TO BE A WINNER. SO YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING AS A PARENT. WHAT ARE THE PARENTING SKILLS THAT I’M GOING TO NEED TO BE A WINNER? WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DISCIPLINING MY CHILD? WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT FOR MY CHILD? WHAT KIND OF EXAMPLES DO I NEED TO SET? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES MY ACTIONS ARE GOING TO HAVE A GREATER EFFECT ON MY CHILD THAN ANYTHING I COULD ACTUALLY SHOW MY CHILD. SO THE ADVICE THAT I WOULD HAVE IS TO FIRST LOOK AT SELF AND SEE IF THERE’S ANYWHERE YOU CAN BECOME A BETTER PERSON, A MORE GROUNDED PERSON, A MORE COMMITTED PERSON. IF IT TAKES GOING BACK TO SCHOOL TO LEARN A TRADE TO GET MORE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE. LET’S START WITH SELF AND THEN GO TO BEING THE BEST PARENT THAT WE CAN FOR OUR CHILDREN.”

Thank you again, Dr. West for sharing with me those words, and through your work you will forever live.

I am so shocked and saddened by this news. To think…….she was fine pre-plastic surgery, and within 48hrs she’s gone? You never know when HE is going to call you home, so make sure you tell your loved ones how you feel about them, and never let petty disputes put distance between you and them.

According to Angel, Kanye West Logs onto Concreteloop all the time…..
So,
Please be respectful when leaving your comments.

Imagine if YOUR mother passed away, and someone left a negative posting regarding her surgery…..

That’s not cool just to talk off the top of your head.
Think about how your words affect others….

TO ALL THOSE LEAVING NEGATIVE JUDGEMENTAL REMARKS::::::

THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR THE PLACE! HOW DARE YOU PASS JUDGEMENT ON SOMEONE ELSE’S PERSONAL DECISION! THIS WAS A PERSONAL DECISION OF SELF IMPROVEMENT FOR HER, AND THERE’S NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE THAT SAYS GOD FROWNS ON PLASTIC SURGERY. WOMEN BODIES GO THROUGH SO MUCH IN THIS LIFETIME, AND SOMETIMES HAVING A CHILD VISIBLY FOREVER CHANGES HER BODY (BREASTS AND BELLY); WHERE’S THE SIN IN HER WANTING SOME RESEMBLENCE OF HER BODY BACK?!!!!! THERE IS NONE SO FALL BACK……SHE WASN’T AIMING FOR PERFECTION……I SINCERELY BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME JEALOUS HATEFUL PEOPLE LEAVING THESE COMMENTS….CAUSE WHY FIND FAULT AT THIS VERY TENDER TIME…..CAUSE YOU ARE HATEFUL…..I WANT TO F’ING CURSE YOUR ASSES OUT SO BAD……..JUST UGLY, HATEFUL, AND DISRESPECTFUL PEOPLE ON HERE. SOME OF YOU HAVE KIDS THAT’S ALL UP IN THE PRISON SYSTEM, STRUNG OUT ON DRUGS, HAVE MULTIPLE KIDS BY MULTIPLE WOMEN, OR WORKING BELOW THEIR CAPABILITIES, AND YOU ARE JEALOUS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS….YOU ARE SICK!

DR. WEST WAS A VICTIM OF UNEXPECTED CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT’S IT. HOWEVER, HER CONTRIBUTION TO THIS WORLD BY WAY OF KANYE IS A BEAUTIFUL ONE. AND HER SUCCESS IN RAISING A BEAUTIFUL STRONG CONFIDENT BLACK SON WHO IS SURE OF HIMSELF AND RIGHTFULLY SO (SHE DIDN’T RAISE ANY WEAK PUNKS), WHO IS SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE, AND WHO RESPECTS AND LOVES HER. SHE DESERVES CREDIT FOR DOING THIS ALONE AND TAKING CHARGE OF HER LIFE. SHE DIDN’T SIT AROUND ON WELFARE EITHER……PLEASE JUST RESPECT THAT, AND GIVE CONDOLENCES, AND MOVE ON!

I WOULD HATE TO BE THE ONES LEAVING THESE NEGATIVE/JUDGEMENTAL STATEMENTS. KARMA IS HORRIBLE, AND I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE YOU IN A MILLION YEARS…….I’M SURE THE DEVIL HAS SOMETHING IN STORE FOR YOUR JUDGEMENTAL ASSES. AND THEN WHEN IT HAPPENS, LET’S SEE IF YOU’RE SINGING THAT SAME JUDGEMENTAL SONG YOU IDIOTS.

My prayers go out to Kanye. I lost my mother unexpectedly when I was just 24. I am continuing to heal. It is by far a long process and even more difficult when your mother is young and seemingly healthy as mine, at only 54 years old. His relationship seemed to be very good with her as she was his life, his heart, and his motivation. His relationship seems to be just like mine was with my mother. He may lash out in anger, he may withdrawl from things, but at some point he will realize God called her home, because it was her time. Not only is she in a better place but she is happy and will be watching out for him in heaven, just like she did on Earth. He will see that God makes no mistakes and eventually he will be grateful for the beautiful years he was able to learn from her, talk to her, and hug her. God bless you Kanye, it is a long road. No one can understand the pain we feel when we lose our mother unless they have lost their mother. Surround yourself with people you love and that love you, people close to your mother, because it helps you to feel closer to her. My heart aches for you brother cause I have been there only three years ago almost four and I know exactly what your going through. Don’t try to be strong express your feelings let it all out it helps.

Watching MSNBC around 10:50am when I woke up I saw this and I was partly awoke and I think I heard them say they think the surgery she was having was a breast reduction….I said damn. I didn’t like Kanye but damn I’d never wish the pain he’s feeling right now on him…..never. My deepest condolences to him and his family but you could see how much they meant to each other……I know he’s taking this hard and I feel so, so, so bad for him.

@ JSCENE Karma is horrible indeed, I do believe in that…………. even if you don’t like that person I mean if they were that close to their mother of all people and that person was such a huge part in their life and they’ve been nothing short of supportive of you and they were your main role model and to just lose them has to be horrible……….. I couldn’t imagine one person I would like to feel that pain…..I can’t.

@ 179 I’m a 50 Cent fan but I wouldn’t even do it………. I’d be ready to shoot some people up for saying negative things right after my mother dies. And I leave my deepest condolences.

There are no words to express just how tragic this really is. My heart is literally aching and Dr. West isn’t even related to me so I can’t imagine what Kanye must be going through right now. It’s just one of those things where nothing you say can really help. Life is so unpredictable and when the Lord is ready for us, he’s ready. I just hope that people let Kanye grieve the way he wants to grieve, whether that be completely shutting out the world or making music. I support anything that he does. My prayers go out to Kanye and his family.

I know…i literally can’t believe some of these comments. Even if you feel surgery is wrong, there is a time and place to express that…this is not that time or place….some people just hateful and insensitive.

This is probably that time period where the family all come together and just stare at each other in disbelief..you know that stage where nobody can believe that person is gone, and everyone’s just sitting around looking at everyone……grief comes in stages, and i wish the west family the best….

I cried for you and I don’t even know you. It’s amazing how one can touch another without even meeting that person or carrying a conversation with them. GOD bless you, and I pray deeply that GOD gives you the strength to over come and heal. Remember she’s in a better place now and I promise you she’s in no more pain.

RIP Ms. West this is so sad and unfortunate. I can relate to how Kanye is feeling right now, I lost my mother in 1997 10yrs ago and still have my moments. All I can say is if you have your parents here tell them you love everyday, and if you’re not close to them try to be. People are passing everyday and you never know when it’s your time this is so sad. My prayers goes out to Kanye and his family.

My heart goes out to Kanye West and his family, to loose your mother is a terrible lost and no words will heal your pain just no know that God will take you through he will give you what you need to endure and he never leave you, just think she is smiling in heaven because you have truly made her proud and for that you will continue to be blessed BETTER THEN BLESSED. God has allowed her to enjoy your success and he will continue to smile upon you with her in his (GOD) presence.

ThinkAboutIt

Monday, November 12, 2007 /

Darkness upon darkness. Sorrow upon sorrow. Pain upon pain. Anguish upon anguish. That’s death.

Death is a fearful visitor, snatching away people who are precious to us and leaving us behind to mourn, grieve, and wonder. It blocks the light that before had shined so freely and easily on our lives.

Whether we’re facing the prospect of dying, or dealing with the death of a loved one, death can be devastating. It can sap our energy, change our plans, overwhelm our soul, alter our outlook, test our faith, steal our joy, and challenge our assumptions about life’s purposes.

When we walk through the deep valley, we feel swallowed up by the shadow and come face-to-face with fear. The frantic emptiness of our loss threatens the comfort that previously originated from our trust in God, and so we grow afraid. Afraid of our future. Afraid to enjoy life again.

Yet in that valley, under that shadow, we can say to the Lord, “I will fear no evil; for You are with me” (Psalm 23:4).

HIS LOVING ARMS NEVER LET YOU GO
HE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU.

Slowly at first, but most assuredly, He provides comfort and release from the darkness. He gives light. He leads us out. Eventually, we escape the valley of the shadow.

—Dave Branon

MY P.O.V.

Monday, November 12, 2007 /

This is such a tragedy…my heart aches for Kanye because he seemed to have such a great relationship with his mom, one that a lot of people aren’t as fortunate to have. I know losing a loved one, especially a parent, is not something that you can just get over, but I hope that he is able to heal as much as possible from this tragedy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Kanye.

P.S.-Bill thank you for reminding those who leave less than thoughtful comments that this man just lost his mother. If you’re going to respond, the decent thing to do as a human being would be to give your condolences and leave it at that, rather than making negative remarks about Kanye and/or his mother.

Life can be so harsh at times… It is often said that time heals most wounds… Death is not one of them… A Mother & Father are the MOST prized possessions in life… I can not bare to even think of my mother being taken away form me… But I have always been in tune with death… so I have asked God to give me understanding and patience when the time comes… It was such a shock when I found out that Ms.West’s time had come… I am not sure if Kanye will ever read this but it may not be meant for him but for some one else… God is a merciful God and he will NEVER put more on you than you can handle… As Tupac said (and I believe him because he knew pain and strife…) If you can make it throught the night… There will be a brighter day…

This is not the time or the place to attack or question Kanye’s personal character.

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!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

[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)

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.

This story absolutely ate me up. I’ve always appreciated Kanye and his love for her mother and her love and pride for her son. She was just here in my city a Virginia Union doing a speech and to hear that she is now gone, it just makes me feel so sad.

God bless Kanye and his entire family. May she rest in peace

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.

Oh my heart goes out to Kanye West and his family. I know how it feels to lose a parent, or someone who is so close to you you can’t see yourself living without them. Its a pain that seriously hurts, its a pain words can’t heal, but only God, and time can heal.
Your in my prayers Kanye.
Eternally Rest In Peace Mrs. Donda West.
