Awww..

Kanye is being very strong especially with his tragedy just happening not too long ago. So sad, but good to see him at least trying to address his public and be strong.

I love him for that.

Go ahead Kanye, do you!!!!! This is so big of Kanye, even though I know he’s hurting, he knows that he will see his mother soon, this is only a temporary separation.

I’M GLAD KANYE HAS SPOKEN ON THIS BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING “OH HE SHOULDN’T BE DOING SHOWS THIS SOON AFTER BLAH BLAH BLAH” FUCK WHAT ANYONE ELSE IS SAYING DO YOU KANYE!!

that is so sad.

I am glad that Kanye is doing his thing. You have to stay busy to keep your head straight and his mother would not want him to stop.

DO WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU!!!!!

I applaud him for working through this troublesome time. That takes major courage. I hope God blesses him with the strength needed to go on.

Gotta luv him.

Wow Kanye sounds upset, angry at everyone. You will know whats best for you Kanye. Just remember we did not hurt you mom and we all love you no matter what and want you to come out on top as you always do. We’re all praying. I actually think the media has been very supportive of you and your mom situation in bring to light the dangers of plastic surgery. Much love. You’re in my prays.

I applaud Kanye because even through everything that’s went on in the past week he’s still going strong. Only he knows whats best for him nobody can tell him what he should and shouldnt do, I agree. I’m glad he’s speaking out now.I’ll continue to keep him in my prayers.

Hes gonna be strong
he already is.

He know he is doing his mother proud right now because she would want him to continue doing something he loves and be happy.

Go kanye!

The stage my be the therapy that Kayne needs to get through the pain. We all heal in different ways. God Bless him and his family.

Kanye keep your head up god bless you.

Tell ‘em Kanye! Do what’s best for YOU & live your OWN life!

I feel so bad for Kanye… its hard enuff goin thru somethin like dat and havin to deal wit it in the public eye… dats horrible.

I understand what kanye is saying when he says that people tell him to stop touring and go back home…go back home to WHAT? The worse feeling in the world is not necessarily having a funeral, and not having visitors at your house consoling you, but the when everyone leaves at the end of the night and you are left there all by yourself…THAT is the worse feeling in the world.

I believe he will get through this and do some more amazing things. I cannot wait to see what he unleashes on the masses in the next 12 months. We have yet to see his true potential.

much love to kanye…i would still be stretched out on the floor some where….stay strong kanye!

he is doing what is best for himand what his mother would have wanted. i have much found respect for himm.

It’s so difficult a situation…. there’s got to be a window of time where you just have to let a guy as outspoken as Kanye just say what he wants — he gets a pass on anything he says for like the next year. (Not that this was bad, but just anything silly or out of place that he says, you just gotta let it ride.)

I know he’s frustrated, but I kinda think the advice whichever friend gave him to just take some time off is good advice. Perhaps performing is a way of getting your mind off of things and escaping for a bit. But if it were me and I had the money that Kanye does, I’d just go home, look at some pictures and movies of my mom and just be with family for a bit. But it’s up to him how he wants to handle this.

I just feel so bad. (The worst was seeing him just bent over with his face in his hands while the music was playing in the video posted earlier). You could feel the pain through the screen.

He gotta work thru the pain the best way he know how… i feel him & hope he makes it thru alright

thisis justso sad i feel so bad for him cuz he prob paid for her surgery…well my prayers are with him and whatever he feels that its the best way for him to cope let him cope. we luv you kanye keep your head up

No one can understand what a person goes through when they lose their mother. There is no right time or right way to grieve. He is doing what he feels he needs to do to help him cope with his loss. Although he is an entertainer and in the public eye - the public does not have a say in his life - esp. not in this matter.
Nothing can be more personal and painful -

A house is not a home - home is where the heart is, and as close as he was with his mother; she lives deep in his heart….. and always will.

KEEP STRONG KANYE….WE LOVE YOU!!

OK - last thing….. I just don’t think he should feel pressure to finish tour dates just because money is on the table. I almost was getting a little frustrated listening to the crowd while he was speaking…. I know they’re from another country and maybe don’t know how to react, but you just kinda wanna hear silence and a little applause.

Not sure about others, but I wouldn’t really wanna see a concert with this having happened. Half of Kanye is watching him come out all cocky and stuff. It just doesn’t seem right. What would Golddigger be like?

kanye is just doing him and i think thats a good thing, im pretty sure that is exactly what ms. donda west would have liked.

keep moving, i must agree with the everyone here. I lost my mother and father and you must move on….F staying home F the media…do your thing…god bless

That tribute was so uplifting and moving. I am so proud of him for staying strong and having such honesty about his feelings. I truly admire him for letting the world see his intimate expressions of love for his mother. That dedication was befitting of his unique way of approaching life. Rather than being a sad moment, it honored her spirit through intense color, sound, emotion and creativity that defis the average way most people cope with loss.

I love what I know of this young man and I pray that God will keep him strong.

OMGosh this bought me to tears!!!! I remember meeting Kanye sometime ago and telling him how much his confidence inspired me. Watching this footage made me see that despite what troubles may come our way we must remain strong knowing that God has it under control.
Thank you Kanye!!

That’s a true champion right there!

I love him, even when he acting a fool I still love him.

i’m speechless!!!!!!!

Dude’s stronger than me cuz I woulda been falling apart right now if that were my mom.

Everyone deals with death in their on way Kanye breathes music so performing maybe his therapy . I think Ms. West would want him to carry on he is strong.

WE LOVE YOU KANYE!!! The world is praying for and with you……blessings!!

beautiful.

thats RIGHT.
Go home to WHAT? his mom was his everything.
i wouldnt know what to do with myself if i was in that situation.
he’s staying true to himself and to what he loves. His mother helped
him be who he is. and he’s doing it for her now.

Is there anyway we could get a transcript or can yall quote him in anyway because I can’t see the video! Either way much love to Kanye…Chicago loves you!

I love Kanye. Thanx Concrete Loop, this one spoke to me.

Am I the only one that heard the underlying eloquence in his voice as he spoke? Some may misinterpreted it for being angry but I felt something else. He couldn’t of stated it better & that’s real…WHAT THE BLEEP is he going home to? Everyone mourns in their own way and who are WE to choose which way is best for him? Be Blessed YE’ I know your reading this (smiles).

sometimes we as people don’t realize that we are born & taught how to live & that no one prepares us for death, with that said we all handle things in a different way. Kanye gets much love & respect from me not just as a fan but as another human being that can understand his plight!

Hold Ya head Ye’ we got you & R.I.P. To Dr. Donda West

sp*…may have

I believe KANYE WEST was put on the Earth to serve a very valuble purpose. Whether people realize it or not, he`s truly my inspiration.

Kanyeeeze, keep your head up.

Kanye, you said it best. Just do you. No one knows but you. You know she’s always there for you. Now she is with you at every show, every appearance, and she’s gonna push you in a way you never thought she could. This life here is so short to the eternity we’ll all soon be in. So Kanye, make that music! She didn’t leave you…she’s just preparing your heavenly home, just like she did when she prepared for your earthly home.

Stay encouraged.

GOOOOOOOOO KANYE!!!! DAMN WHAT A MAN!!!! MUCH PROPS TO KANYE!!!!!

I admit that I was a fan that questioned why he was still performing but after seeing the video it all makes sense and I commend him for continuing. I know music is his second love and his therapy. Keep doing your thing Kanye.

This is just so sad. No one knows his pain until they experience the sudden loss of a parent. I just pray for him and his family right now. Death is hard to deal with as it is and it’s even worse when you are in the public eye and you have people scrutinizing every move you make what is wrong and what should/should not have been done. I just pray that God will give him the strength to get through this; God only knows what a heart can survive.

Kanye, grieve, be strong, cry, and do what you have to do to be ok… and know that we, as your fans, love and support you!

She was so proud of you! RIP Dr. Donda West- May your spirit live on

wonderful tribute. keep ya head up kanye!

Your in my prayers & stay strong.

To true Kanye no one can tell you how to think or feel.We all grieve in our own way.

The thought alone of losing a good mother is heartbreaking. Its hard to lose a mother that you know no matter wat you become she would love and support you to the fullest. A mother that loves you enough to understand you is a gift from God…those mothers never really die.

I’VE ALWAYS LUVED KANYE’S MUSIC AND I FEEL 4 HIM.HE HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS MOM LIKE I DO WITH MINE.COULDN’T AND WOULDN’T WANT TO …IMAGINE HIS PAIN.BUT KANYE SEEMS STRONG BY NATURE AND IT’S SO TRAGIC CAUSE HIS MOM DIDN’T EVEN HAVE 2 BE DEAD.BUT BECAUSE OF THE PRESURE OF HOLLY-WEIRD…SHE’S GONE.STAY UP KANYE…YOU’LL BE BACK 2 THAT HAPPY “LOUIS VUITTON” DON IN NO TIME BABE:)

I totally understand why he’d keep going on tour. For one it keeps his mind off thinkin and re-thinkin about his mothers death. Being alone isnt good in a time like this, its good he can lose himself in the music. Tbh i just want to hug him.

awwww.. this soo breaks my heart.. i get tears in my eyes..
i feel soo bad for kanye…:(
im goin to his concert next week.. im sooo excited and wierded out at the same time

hope its great.. i know its gonna be phenomenal
much luv to kanye

watching this is soo sad

i admire his strength for continuing performing, and i know from personal experience that in times of turmoil it is best to work or focus on something. it takes ur mind off things

however i also know that not grieving can really screw a person up. u shouldnt hold anger, grief or sadness inside u should cry as much as u need.

i hav loads of respect for kanye and hope he stays strong

I think Kanye should take some time off to grieve. I know he is going through some terrible pain. Plus the media and all are all up in his business and the circumstances surrounding his moms death.

I feel for him, I am sorry that he lost his mom before her time. I havent lost a parent but at some point in all our lives we will feel the same lost. May God be with him and his family.

The one has spoken…

I lost my mother at the end of my first semester in Law school & everyone looked at me crazy when I said I wanted to go back and finish and not take anytime off. But I knew that is what my mother wanted…Kanye knows what he is doing and maybe being on stage in front of those who support him and love what he does is therapy for him…it ain’t about the paycheck or ego it’s about…taking time off for me would have been the worse thing to do and it maybe the worse thing for him too. Especially the way the media hounds celebrities, right now he might not even get the chance to grieve “properly” without the media looking and scrutinizing…..I am sure once his tour is over and thing die down a bit he will take some needed time for himself to reflect. Unless you have gone through a similiar situation it is hard to judge what he should be doing. Different strokes for different folkes and what you may think is the “proper” way to grieve isn’t necessarily the way someone else needs to do it.

what is the beat we hear on the backround?anyone know?

Everyone grieves differently. I think performing was therapeutic for him but I also think thats why he had the breakdown he had. You can only hold it in but so long. I know he’s going to have plenty more breakdowns but if being on stage helps him prolong them, then that’s his decision. I think the media has been excellent. I’ve seen the media make jokes about celebrity death so much (crocodile man-can’t think of his name right now) that it’s finally nice to hear them be supportive. I also think they know better than to play with a black man that just lost their mother so I doubt if they’d do anything stupid. They know who to mess with!
Keep your head up Kanye!!

His mom did a Great Job!!! She is very proud

i know when my mom passed in june, the first thing i wanted to do was get out and do something. if you sit in the house with nothing to occupy you, you’re left with your thoughts and you can drive yourself crazy. i don’t blame him for going back to work. he’s grieving in his own way.

my heart goes out to him…

Well I hope that continuing with the tour is truly helping him cope with his loss. I know that if I was in his positon, I’d have to take some time off to deal with it then rather that having it really hit home later once I come off the tour..

I applaud him,there is no proper way to grieve. God gave each of us a life to live and you have to live life how you see fit.No one should be saying “he should” or “if i were him” especially in this situation,cause it’s not you,and if it were you wouldn’t want anyone telling you how to deal with a crisis. He is alot stonger than i could imagine myself being at this time. I always respected him,after seeing this my respect is on a different level.

Kanye is doing what he knows No one can tell another person what to do when they are in a situation.

actually the dangers are with any surgery especially when you go under Anesthesia which is the real danger. i just wish people WOULDNT focus on the PLASTIC surgery so much with the passing of Dr. West. i know she would want to be remembered more for all the good she has done for Education.

I wish Kanye all the best, i lost the woman who raised me so i know how he must be feeling, and you know what? life is really funny, because i would of never thought i would have the strength to deliver her Eulogy, i thought i would be so distraught that i couldnt even stand, truth is delivering the Eulogy made me feel so strong as if she was smiling down on me for having that strength…SO Kanye you know what you need to do, people mean well but until they have gone thru it, its really hard to contemplate what a person may be feeling

I admire him for continuing to tour.
Everyone grieves and mourns a loss differently. It’s so easy for someone to say Just get over it! But Kanye knows whats best for him. The hardest thing & best thing anyone can do in a trying time is to get out that bed each day & to just keep going, and thats exactly what Kanye’s doing. Stay strong Kanye, your in my prayers.

22. THINKABOUTIT

“A house is not a home - home is where the heart is, and as close as he was with his mother; she lives deep in his heart….. and always will.”
—————————————

Exactly! When I think of home, I think of the presence of my family, not a place of residence. And in his case, the majority of his heart was within his mother’s presence.

I respect Kanye for what he’s saying because it’s very true. It amazes me how people whom you never hear from appear when things are bad just to tell you how to live your life when they really haven’t been around to know what you life is all about. I think it’s insulting…especially when they haven’t been there from jump. Their opinions may be sincere but they do not really have that right to tell that man what to do.

At the end of the day, it is what his mother or any mother would want for their child…finding closure and eventually continue to live their lives to the best of their ability. I pray he will find peace in these times of trouble.

KANYE, I UNDERSTAND IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO ME I WOULD NOT WANT MY SONS TO SIT AROUND GRIEVING, BECAUSE GRIEF IS A VERY NEGATIVE EMOTION AND IT CAN LEAD TO SEVERE DEPRESSION……KEEP MOVING BABY AND REMEMBER THAT GOD SAID HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU!!!!

(P.S. I AM ONE OF TASIA’ SPIRITUAL MOMS……LOVE (SMILES) SHE LOVES HERSELF SOME KANYE AND SPOKE HIGHLY OF YOUR MOM,YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU MOM REMINDS HER OF SHE AND HER MOM)

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, BABYBOY AND KNOW WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU!!!

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!! DON’T WORK TOO HARD AND GET SOME REST!!!!!!

what can anyone say to do that? HE just lost his mother, his best friend, he life! I has to be the hardest thing someone could go through. No one should be told how to grieve. May God walk with the West family through this difficult time and right now, right now is not to judge him. Let him be, let him do what he needs to, to be a little normal.

Everyone deals with these situations in their own way, we have to respect Kanye for doing what he feels in his heart is best no one knows you better than you, so I feel him no one can tell him what he should do give your support and kind words and than move foward….the media is simply that the medial who cares what they say and what they make of things its all for entertainment by the end of the day only Kanye and his family know the truth and whats real… the real is he had a mother that loved him and supported him no matter what she has left a lasting impression on his heart and his memories and love for her make him stronger, she wanted nothing more than for her son to be the best at what he does so do you Kanye fu** everyone else!!!!

keep ya head up kanya,you are one of the best hip hop artist out here and youve survived alot of other things in your life. Even though your mom isnt with you physically, shes here with you spiritually and im pretty sure she wants you to keep going and to be strong. Oh yeah, and like you said, f— the media, THEY CANT TELL YOU NOTHIN!!!!!!!!!!

I love this man. I always have. I love his cockiness. It reminds me of my father and my husband and hopefully one day my young son. I see nothing wrong with it as long as you can back it up. Now, my love and respect for this man has hit a new height. He is intelligent, articulate, and self defining. Even in his darkest emotional hour he shines and will not be put into a box. He is the complete opposite of what hip hop/ rap music is today. He is a throw back to the real men of yesterday. And still he is on top of the musical world. I judge a man not by his looks, his popularity, or his fame but his character and Kanye has beautiful character.

My heart goes out to Kanye and I pray that GOD gets him through these trying times.

I have the feeling that he is going to start wilding out. Kinda like Nas did after his mother passed. If you’ll thought he didn’t bite his tongue before, just wait to see how he is now.

He feels like he doesn’t have anything and when a person feels like that its no holding back.

Wow, he’s a strong man.
He’ll grow a lot from this.
I bet you his music will get better.
He’ll be ok.

Kanye!!! I love ya man. Do what you gotta do. You are in my prayers. I was praying for ya when you had ur accident and I’m right there w/you now!!! God Bless!

Man…he’s a strong brotha. I’m proud of him for persevering. He is mourning in his own way - by pouring his emotions into those songs.

#74 - I don’t think he’ll start wildin’ at all. The things his mother instilled in him are more important than ever now. He knows she is looking down on him expecting him to be the man she raised. I think he will continue to make her proud.

Kanye really needed to vent and I know that has helped him in his grieving process. I know because I had to do the same around this time last year when my mom passed. May God bless you Kanye and ur family today.

wow. everyone copes in their own ways…

Kanye,
stay strong man.no one knows what and how you are feeling.i have lost my grandmother who raised me from a lil girl .nobody feelings are the same.we are not in your shoes,but we do feel your pain.as i said on my other comment keep your head up and do as Dr.West(MOM) would want you to do. STAY STRONG and its alright to cry.we in VA. luv U!!!!!!

Dr. Donda West, Rest in Peace

Awww.

Keep your head up, Kanye.

We are with you during this trying time.

Kanye is doing what he feels in his heart and what his mother would’ve wanted him to do. In life you have to follow your heart and not listen to other people. People have great intentions but you have to do whats right for you and Kanye is doing just that. Keep your head up, Kanye. Your mother is still watching you and screaming the loudest for you!!!

“Go home to what mofo”? Geesh, I see why I don’t like Kayne. I understand that he is angry, upset and distorted but at least he could have been more respectful to the ones who support and care about him. Anyway, if him performing on stage helps him get through these rough times then go for it. Do you.

God bless all your endeavors Kanye and my entire families prayers are with you at this time.You are right on the money THE DEVIL HAS NO VICTORY WITH YOUR LIFE AND YOUR SHOWING HIM JUST THAT BY BEING STRONGA THAN YOUR NORMAL CELEBRITY GOD SMILES AT YOU KANYE YOUR FULFILLIN YOUR PURPOSE,ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO BE STRONG IN THE MIDST OF TURMOIL ITS HOW WE AS THE BLACK RACE OPERATE WE CAN MANAGE AND KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE DISASTERS AND DISSAPPOINTMENTS IN OUR LIFES AND PICK UP THE PIECES AND KEEP MOVIN KANYE THIS IS A GREAT LOSS FOR YOU BUT IM HERE TO TELL YOU GOD HAS A MAJOR PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE I TELL YOU STAY FOCUSED AND KEEP PRESSIN FOR WHATS ONLY RIGHT FOR YOU….GOD BLESS YOU KANYE….NEW ORLEANS LOVES YOU BABY…

AND THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHY I’M TEAM ‘YE….HOLD IT DOWN KANYE…HOLD IT DOWN

GOD BLESS & MUCH LOVE & SUPPORT TO YOU KANYE. MY YOU FIND PEACE IN YOUR TIME OF NEED JUST AS YOUR MOM IS RESTING IN PEACE.

Aww man . I have a new respect for him. He is real and His mom’s words and support gave me an eye open perspective of how fortunate guys are to have their mom. Kanye man, we love you and she will be missed. May God and your new Angel continue to bles you and look after you. Everyone tell yo moms you luv her xtra special for Kanye and the Holidays. Keep luv yahll.

This made me smile…seriously. Kanye is really a strong man…and Dr. West taught him to have a strong sense of self!!! I definitely don’t see Kanye on the road to destruction unlike so many others who would fall apart at a time like this.

Damn, Kanye has made me proud of him…I know Dr.West is smiling on him from heaven right now!

I passed the church where they’re having the service and at 6 this morning the media was already out

The images in the background of the angel are so moving because every time she turns her head the spot light lines up with them and it looks like the light is coming out of her eyes. It’s almost like the angel is shedding her light down on him or watching over him. I wonder if that was done on purpose? Probably. Kanye is being so strong through this whole thing.

To the person whosaid he sounds angry, not anger but the truth. It’s about somebody told the media to go fuck themselves especially some of these gossip blogs (not the Loop).
Hey, Kanye you right go home and do what the rest of these no life motherfuckers do sit on the internet and go form blog to blog talking about folks they know nothing about which most of the time is predicated on lies.
You broke mother fuckers stay home….BUT KANE LIKE THE LAST POST SAID KEEP MOVING!!!!! I ain’t mad at you!!!! DO YOU BRO!!!!!!

KANYE, I FORGOT TELL YOU THAT IN THIS PAST WEEK WHAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH HAS MADE AND IMPACT ON MY SONS WHICH I CAN SEE, THEY HAVE BEEN CALLING ME MORE AND WE ARE VERY CLOSE AND TELLING ME THEY LOVE ME MORE THIS WEEK!!!! AND IN A CLOSING PHONE CONVERSATION MY YOUNGEST SON SAID MOM THE REASON I HAVEN’T SAID MUCH ABOUT KANYE IS BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE IN THAT SITUATION HE SAID MOM, I KNOW ITS TAKING A LOT OF STRENGTH FOR HIM TO MOVE FORWARD CAUSE THAT IS “MAMA” AND NOTHING CAN EVER REPLACE THAT, HE SAID I TRULY LOOK UP TO HIM AND APPLAUD HIM, HE IS A ROLE MODEL FOR ME!!!!!!!
IT MADE ME FEEL GOOD SO SOMETHING VERY POSTIVE FOR OTHERS IS COMING OUT OF THIS FOR US ALL TO GROW FROM!!!
AGAIN,GOD BLESS YOU BABYBOY (DAWG!!!!)

Awwww I reallly wanted to go I was sooo happy that he would come to brussels, I couldn’t I had school the next day. But I know Kanye is gonna keep strong, I wish him the best of luck
YOU GO KANYE !!!

BIGGG Kiss Amel

Kanye is one of the first Hip Hop celebrities that I can say honestly lives by his lyrics, I applaud kanye for his strength! I will always support any project he is affiliated with because I truly respect his character. When he says That that don’t kill me will only make me stronger, I believe him. Understand that everybody has a way of doing things that work for them. obviously performing is helping him get through this terrible tragedy so stop with your suggestions and just keep him and his family in your prayers. And Kanye don’t forget to go out on that stage and kill it Dawg!! Give it up to God and hold on to all your wonderful memories and good times.

Donda West yes:

Donda West, YES!
One of the best, YES!
She gave birth to one of the best, YES!

THIS IS WHERE THERE SHOULD BE HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS….LOOSING A PARENT AND A MOTHER AT THAT IS OF MORE RELEVANCE THAN SOME OF THIS OTHER NONSENSE YOU MAKE HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS ABOUT….I’M JUST SAYING.

Stay stong Kanye i know god will give you strength beyond what is natural, your mother’s only gone away for a little way i know you’ll see her again i promise. But until then keep the faith and keep ya head, your mama would be proud.

Angel and Crew - Concrete Loop is mentioned in an article on Kanye that is posted at http://www.people.com. Congrats…Although I hate that they referred to the site as a ‘gossip site’

Direct article link - http://www.people.com/peo...ticle/0,,20161641,00.html

Peace and Blessings to the West family

a sad story. rest in peace, dr donda west.

I will have to agree and tell you Kanye, DO YOU. I lost my mother just 6 months ago.. Its’ one of the hardest things in life, but “don’t stop believing is right”. Life must go on, but they will ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS. I learned in my experience of everyone popping up out of the wood works, saying this and that, what i should do and so on is that I don’t regret my ways and actions after mom passed, I too did what she wanted for me and that was to live and take care of my babies. No one can put a guilt trip out to make me feel guilty for deciding to live and stay strong. My mother and I were absolutely best friends and I felt like my life was gone, but like you, we always remember their voices saying go on, get up, live baby and thats’ what gets you going like it always had. You know your mother, you know the relationship that you shared with her and with that being said, …CAN’T TELL ME NOTHING…. my prayers are with you and your family, just hold on and keep believing, God will come through, I’m tellin you. one love

My respect for him just grew a little more, the more he talks the more I understand a little of who Kanye is…..i’d be lying if I said I agreed with everything, but I can respect that man…..

Kanye that is what you go of. What is in your heart and what you know your mom would have wanted. Like you said F!!! what everyone else has to say. You and your family is in my prayers.

Preach!

I Love Kanye So Much, and I keep saying that so that my sister thinks I’m strange but I love him in that way like he’s the dude down the block or someone I went to school with or somthing. I thinks its the Chicago thing we get each other.(all Chicagoians). I feel him on having to work through it because going home to the place you most expect to see her is the hardest. and I’m speaking from experience I lost my mother on Thanksgiving a few years ago and even still its so hard for me to go to her house. Yeah he misses her on the road and everywhere else its just some places are harder to handle.

I have been Praying for you Kanye and I realize you will be okay because you know Jesus and what he is able to do so with that said you will survive. Stay Prayerful

I admire this man.
I can’t even imagine the pain he’s dealing with.
My mama is my angel and I don’t know what I’d do without her.
My thoughts & prayers are with you, Kanye.

People please pray for Kanye and his family. The service just started. They’re showing it on the news here

Much Respect for this Brotha, I dont know how I would make it. God is good, and will always prevail

I’ve always liked Kanye, his music and him as a person. Yes, he throws the occasional tantrum from time to time, but before people judge they need to find out the reason he feels he needs to have such a reaction.

I’m sorry for his lost, but I think it’s cool that he continues to do him, everyone grieves in their own way. And like he said, i’m sure his Mom would want him to keep going too!

Bottom line no one can tell or should tell another person how to grieve or mourn. Each person has to do what is right for them to get through the process

Too many people want to nitpick and tell others how to live their life while their own life is in shambles

Check out People.com giving Concreteloop.com a shoutout for this piece. Go head, concreteloop. Ya’ll doing it big!!!! Congrats!!

~~i admire his strength for continuing performing he new his mother waz there the whole time watching oven him.so my heart goes out to him and his family we will be here with u .~luv lots keep ya head up and be strong.~~Danielle

@ QT, hey girl! You see that huh? CL has been moving on up to the east side.

I LOVE KANYE EVEN MORE NOW…I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HIM ON THURSDAY O2 ARENA BABY….I FEEL FOR KANYE SO MUCH AS I LOST MY DAD TOO, BUT I KNOW HE COMES TO ME AND THOSE ARE THE MOMENTS I WAIT FOR!!!
STAY STRONG!! I AM GOING TO BE SCREAMING SO LOUD MY HEADS GOING TO BURST!!!

I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR MOTHERS DEATH

I wish everyone would just leave him alone. No one will ever know what it feels like when you lose a best friend who was also your mother. They need to mind thier own business. He is doing what he needs to do, the show must continue on. Let him do what he wants to do, this is my boy and i feel him, i was bought up in the ghetto and i made it out of the ghetto. Yeah, he is cocky, and is very sure of himself. I am proud of him for that. I know he will not let anyone change him, his mom taught him way better than that and it shows. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I love you Kanye for keeping things real and I know you will make it through this long and bumpy road you will endure, I know because I lost my baby brother last year and I am going through it.One Love Kanye, Peace.

My heart goes out to Kanye. I will be screaming and singing every word to every song on Thursday night 22 November O2 Arena London, because the show must go on.

im not gonna lie, i was one of the ones that thought he shouldve took a break too. but now i see where he’s coming from. i cant imagine his pain. if this is how he feels fits best, go for it. whatever music he comes out with after this should be just the best. i have to agree, he is here to change the world && our music && his mother knew it all along. She raised a strong son so that when she wasnt here, he could carry on just like he is now. If yall cant feel that passion then you must be suffering from anehondia.

PLEASE READ kanye i want you to remmber all the good times just the good times i want you to remember her smile i want you to remember her scent her touch her laughter everything about that made her your mother. you knew who your mother was and what she stood for because i’m about give you some back in the day preaching you take your heart to god not to your boss not to your girl not to the pope take time to be alone and you praise him in the name of jesus christ rebuke the demons around and give the lord thanks GOD BLESS YOU KANYE

God bless you Kanye. You do whatever YOU need to do to be okay. I’ve been there, it ain’t easy, but it does get better.

He is doing the right thing by continuing to do his work, rather than sitting at home becoming more & more depressed over his moms passing. People always want to give their suggestions thinking they helping you, but truthfully that is the last thing a person needs is tons of suggestions in during a time like this for him.

Everyone grieves in their own way, & if this is the way he HEALS (by continuing to do what his mother wanted of him) Good for him.

I agree with EVERYTHING he said.
He is stronger than anyone I know….to stand up to such an ordeal and face it head-on. I’m an only child, I’m as close to my mom as he was with his, and I don’t know how I could live without her or some of the same idiosyncrasies Kanye was described.
I wish I could give him a hug.

[...] UPDATE: KANYE SPEAKS ABOUT HIS MOTHER & THE MEDIA [...]

I too lost a parent and in some may ways is grieving. Time heals some wounds but through prayer it changes everything.

If people take the time out to work out their own problem they wouldn’t have time to try and run your life. He knew his mother better than any man therefore he knew what she would have wanted him to do. Quit focusing on the negative and admire her for being a strong woman who accomplished so much. Let Kanye do whatever it is he have to and RESPECT HIS WISHES.

GO KAN-YEEE.

Knaye is heartbroken right now, and if it were me personally I would not want to be SEEN, I would just want to go chill out with my family and have some time to be by myself, But music is his passion and this is probably what his mother would have wanted him to do, go on stage and be strong, hold your head up high Knaye we are all praying for oyu and you and your moms WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN!!!! She is home now and soon you will see her again.

Kanye, May the inspiration of your mother’s words in your life and career help you to overcome the odds of her pasting. As you said mom would have wanted you to go on more stronger than ever, always keep “God” first and carry her spirit with you everywhere you go. Much Love from your houston fans, Ms. V

Good for you Kanye! She will always be proud of you!

Damn! That’s deep. I prayed for Kanye’s heart and soul, because I believe loosing your mother has to be a devastating feeling. I am in awe of his strength!!! But it’s so crazy, you can tell his pain in the way he can’t even say “mama” or “my mama” he only says “she” and “her.”

I’m glad he was able to find a way to deal with this. I pray, for all the people that has lost their mother, that it will only get better with time.

Peace,

Liyah

Kayne, you better do like your mother taught you! Noone can tell another how to grief…NO ONE! When he is ready he will close the door and be by hisself, but if touring is what he needs to get by then so be it!

He has cried, he will cry for a long time but if he wants to feel the love of his fans right now…he ain’t doing nothing wrong!

RIP Donda!

Kanye I commend you for being strong. God is with you, continue to do good music like your mother would want you to. I’ve been praying for you every since I heard about your mother. Think of your mom’s passing as a celebration of life. I didn’t know her but just by seeing her on television I know she was a strong headed black, woman that raised a strong headed black man. She’s inspired me a lot to have a bond with my seven year old son like you and her have because she’s still with you in your heart. Kanye you will be fine keep God first ,and contiue to pursue your dream like Ms. Donda West would want you to. You both are very big inspirations in my life.

Doing what he loves, performing, is probably what he needs to get through this. Everyone grieves in different ways.

The stars they came to support him were Jay Z, Beyonce, John Legend, Common Eryka Badu, Pharrel,Fonzworth Bentley. Anita Baker performed and John Legend and Common performed. She was carried away in a horse and carriage and they released doves at the cemetary and I was told he had a hard time letting his dove go but from what I heard it was a beautiful service.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO KANYE WEST AND HIS FAMILY. MAY GOD BLESS KANYE AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY, DURING THEIR LOSS. I COULDN’T IMAGINE LOSSING MY MOTHER, SHE IS ALL I HAVE AND THANK GOD FOR HER, SO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP KANYE AND KNOW THAT GOD NEVER LEAVE US ALONE. GOD BLESS!!! R.I.P.DONDA WEST YOUR LOVE AND LIFE WILL FOREVER LIVE ON.

To NO.24
I was at the show in Belgium and I’m from Holland, but not because we we’re not Americans doesn’t mean we didn’t gave him his respect!!So what do you mean they don’t know how to react?!!
You can ofcourse be quiet and watching the show but he did an amazing performance full of energy and when he dedicated that song we applaused for his strength and courage in this difficult time and it’s a way to support him and I think that’s the only way for his fans to show him they care.
So I don’t know if you were there at all?! Or you’re just have your opninion based on that you tube clip?!
But I can tell you there was def. a good vibe and it truly felt special!!
Even Common was standing there in front of the stage and applaused and bounced hard on all his tracks!!!
Sorry you missed it

IM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

Mr. West….U Powerful N Strong Dude! Keep Ya Head Up N Continue 2 Do U My Man. U N My Prayers AllDay EveryDay. Peace N Love

to dats deep….he is so right. Everything he said was real talk~

RIP Dr. West.

A dedication to Kanye from a teacher and his students.

Dear Bro. KANYE,

You are a superb young brother and an good role model for our young Nubian brothers and sisters. There is something very special about a mother’s love, it cannot be matched in time or space, not taking anything away from our Nubian Fathers, who give us the seed of life.
But our Mothers are our first teacher, she is our nourisher and sustainer. Kanye you and your mother remind me of my son’s and I relationship. Your mother is not dead she lives, through you. I lost my mother at a tender young age. My father died a few years ago and I read the eulogy at his homecoming, with power of the Most High God and the strength my father instilled in me, I cried while reading his as well.
I see my fathers and mothers strength and courage in my own children. Your mom lives on in you, my brother. You are her legacy….
Kanye we support you always, especially now in your time of need. Your’re gonna be alright, you’re gonna become a force to be reckoned with, especially, with the New Era of time we as a Nation of people are evolving into.
May Our Creator Bless You and Keep You Strong,

Peace and Love at All Costs!!

Hi Kanye,Iam so sorry to hear about your mom,I’m not gonna tell you have to feel but I being there my mom died in 2000 at church she heard the whole sermon then had a massuve heart attack,That has been 7yrs-9 months her birthday was on the 5 of this month everyone always say it’s gonna get better there’s not a day goes by that I don’t think about her so greive as much as you need too I will keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts may God continue to give you the strenght courage you need to get through this trying times much luv

MR.WEST LIKE YOUR MOTHER SAID( YOU DO YOU!!!) ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!! SHE IS HERE FOREVER.

I JUST WANT 2 GIVE KANYE CREDIT FOR BEING SO STRONG DOING THIS EMOTIONAL TIME. DR. WEST WOULD WANT HIM 2 CONTINUE WITH HIS JOURNEY SHE”S LOOKING DOWN SMILING AT HIM . KANYE HAS 2 KEEP IT MOVING BECAUSE MOMMA WEST IS WITH HIM FOLLOWING HIM ON HIS LONG JOURNEY LUV U KANYE N MY PRAYERS N LUV IS WITH U ALSO

I’d just like to say that being a mother myself, I too would have been just as proud as Kanye’s Mother. However, Dr. West has been chosen by a Higher Authority (that we down here have no control over) to take on a task that is much GREATER than her duties down here consisted of and that to me is being with Kanye in everything that he does and the success that he successeds from here on out. May she rest in peace and I pray that Kanye be Blessed with peace of mind. He may have lost his most dearest one here but, he gained a new Guardian Angel that will launch him to higher success. There’s no stopping him NOW !!!!!! May Peace be Upon Him

hi, guys, nice discussion, Thanksgiving Day is coming, would you love to try something new to celebrate this great holiday? How about interracial hot dating? so many singles are there….you will be surprised…

My heart goes out to Mr. Kanye West right now. He just lost his mother. The single most vital person in one’s life after God Himself. I love Mr. Kanye West for having the courage to sing ‘Jesus Walks’ and my eldest son Greg who is 22 yrs. old loves Kanye’s music. Nobody can offer Kanye the real comfort that he needs right now accept for the Lord Jesus Christ. Please don’t try to offer him any advice right now-he doesn’t need it. What he does need is your love and prayers to God on his behalf. Pray that God will keep him and guide him throughout the rest of his days so that the ‘wolves’ in the entertainment industry don’t get advantage of him. Pray, as I will that he’ll never turn to things like drugs and alcohol for so-called comfort. Kanye baby, you can and will make it-just like your strong mother taught you to! Continue to make your number one fan proud, as she is the only one who can really hold that position. Women like Dr. Donda West make me proud to be a black woman! She was beautiful and SMART. Afterall she had you Kanye. Be blessed baby, I’m praying for you now. Love, Apostle/Pastor Sarena Watkins & The King’s Doll Apostolic Ministries, Int’l. (678) 596-2466 John 3:16, Romans 10:9

i love kanye and i alwas have. cant imagine how he feels. i understand what he means when he says his own songs help him thru it. his words are strong. i feel him on them. much love and respect for him…

Keep doin’ what you do Kanye! You are a role model to all. This video proofs it. I know these are hard times for you right now but like you say “that that don’t kill you can only make you stronger” Your music makes me stronger everytime I hear it. DON’t STOP BELIEVEIN’!!!!
