NOT FIRST! but my heart goes out to him right now! Takes a brave person to carry on performing in front of his fans during a time like this!
yeah
1st!
best post in awhile….viva kanye
618
"Don't Stop Believing"? Is it just me or is that just a wee bit cheesy.
haha I was first. wow, random.
viva la kanye!
bless his heart
I feel so much for him his pain must be tremendous but I think the right thing to do is move on, being on tour right now I think is sort of therapeutic for him. We never get a load we can't handle so keep your head up Kanye, your mom passed away proud of her baby boy.
losing a close parent sucks, really…really….really….badly. best to him, it might take a while, but you get used to missing them..you never really stop missing them, but you get used to it..
Kanye speaks the truth!!! I'm praying for you Kanye! But I know your mama is watching out for you still and I know you will be fine! Just hold on to the things she taught you!!!! She will always be your #1 Fan.
And to all you haters out there shut the fuck up!!!!
I'm first! First! I fuck the dead! Kayne, send over your mother's corpse! Cause I'm first! First bitches!
Not to sound like a total bitch, but hopefully the death of his poor mother will finally humble that cocky fucker.maybe he'll see that he's actually human, no better than you or me, and not just 'the most amazing artist in the world' or whatever other bullshit he spews. I feel bad for anyone who is grieving, but not more for him than anyone other person, cause he's just a douchbag.
Amen Kanye! Whatever helps ease the pain… you do what you have to do! And it does make you stronger… losing a parent makes every other painful or difficult moment in your life seem like nothing…
He has not always been my favorite but I will give him this, he does as his song says, "That which won't kill me will only make me stronger" He is strong for that. He says what he feels and means it. I have new respect Kayne, you are an inspiration to keep on keepin on. God Bless….
O.k. Who gives a shit any more.it sucks big time that he lost his mom and I truly felt bad for him esp when it was first reported, but I dont give a fuck to keep seeing stories on it.
/
come on now..jeez..It was his mom who died.. Why do we care how he deals with it etc..
/
The only reason why any of us even cared in the first place is because we all have moms and can imagine that pain, but no one really gives a shit..So keep it real and stop reporting this crap.
Oh yeah Kayne makes garbage music.. You know music is shit when you cant listen to a song or cd after a few months..
;
;
People still listen to Beatles, Zep, 2pac etc etc..that is real music..Not this Kayne trash!! quit saying he is so deep, good god just because someone talks about their feelings doesnt make them deep.
gank1 only racist, ghetto, stupid mother fucker who needs to shut the fuck is YOU!!!!!
i wasnt a big fan of his before because i think he has a big head but now i think he REALLY IS STRONG. think about it. hes doing shows in front of all these people right after his mother died in the same places where she used to be standing on the sidelines cheering him on being his TRUE #1 fan and now hes doing it without her. All the people that are hatin on him would probably be crying under their blankets for months. he knows what his mother would want and hes strong enough to pull it off for her
this bitch needs to shut the fuck up.
his gargoyle mom is great maggot food.
buy my album!
Over the past few months, I have gained so much respect for Kanye, he has an amazing talent, And as an aspiring music producer, he is someone I look up to greatly. I feel so bad for him, and the last couple videos you've posted on his page really show his true colors, he's a real man and I wish him all the best.
BTW, Perez you write the best fucking articles, I had never heard of you or this site until your Rolling Stone article and I visit this site at least 10 times a day now. KEEP IT UP!
YAWN!
his mom gave Game and Nas head!
I completely feel his pain. My mom passed away 3 months ago and as devastating as it was, I had to keep moving forward. I know she would have wanted it that way. God Bless you and your family Kanye, especially over the holidays.
WHY DO PEOPLE SAY “FIRST” ITS SO ANNOYING, U ARE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE TOPIC, WHEN I GO TO READ THEM ITS 50 STUPID FUCKIN POSTS SAYING FIRST…WHO THE HELL CARES, ARE U GUYS THAT PATHETIC U NEED TO BE THE FIRST PERSON TO POST ON SOME LOSERS WEBSITE??
Re: Dont Care Anymore!!! – NOBOBY WILL CARE WHEN YOU DIE! WOOO HOOO! IF U NO LIKE! THEN IGNORE. SIMPLE! DONT WINE, YOU LITTLE BABY! KANYE ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Re: Dont Care Anymore!!! – STUPID WAIT 20 MORE YEARS! HIS MUSIC WILL STILL BE HEARD, IDIOT! YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO MADE HISTORY! CANT YOU THINK KANYE IS A MODERN ARTIST - 2PAC, BEATLES AND THE REST ARE FROM THE PAST………. JUST GIVE KANYE TIME AND HIS MUSIC WILL STILL BE HEARD LIEK THEM OTHERS. DUH!!!
lol there are a lot of miserable people who read gossip sites…they hate everything that is celebrity but they come on here just to be angry? EVERYDAY. I feel sorry for you guys.
Kanye is a stronger person than me. I can admit that.
Re: Dont Care Anymore!!! – BY THE WAY….
YOU SAID "GOOD GOD"…..WTF? YOU BELIEVE IN GOD THEN YOU TALK THAT MUCH CRAP??? I THOUGHT YOU WERE WIRD, BUT KNOW I THINK YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL. ARE YOU ARE YOU 13? DO YOU LIEV BY YOURSELF? BET YOU THAT YOU ARE A LONER! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. AND YOUR FAMILY DONT LOVE YOU!!! WERE ABUSED AS A CHILD???
WE LOVE YOU KANYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kanye is very strong and brave. I thought he would cancel his european tour. He is going through such a hard time. He is playing Dublin on the 30th of November, I am looking forward to the concert. He is a great showman.
awwww!
so sad
◄♥♥zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz♥♥zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz♥♥
♥ Kanye, pleaze juzt call out for your mom, zhe will
♥♥♥♥♥vizit U in your dreamz..my grandma vizitz my dreamz
and I never even met her in the real life, much luv & prayerz♥
◄♥♥zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz♥♥zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz♥♥
who gives a shit.
dont get plastic surgery dumbass
Great I am sure this means we will have to hear some insipid "song" to his dead mother.
.
I see there is not a keeper in the lot. She died due to vanity and he has no talenet.
.
I hope there aren't any more of these twits out there, but judging by the actions of these two, it is doubtful they will live long. Thank God.
Christ, he's a grown man for God's sake. It's not like his child was ripped from his arms or anything. So a parent dies, yes it is a little young but for the world to be mourning with Kanye West is going a little bit far, no?
I'm sick of hearing about this asshole. Breaking down in France and telling the audience "I need you right now" is just PATHETIC.
me and my head high
and my tears dry
get on without my guy
you went back to what you knew
so far removed
from all that we went threw
and i treck a troubled track
my odds are stacked
that i go back to black
i go back to us
i love you much
its not enough
you love blow and i love puff
and life is like a pipe and im a tiny penny rollin up the walls inside….
we only said goodbye with words
i died a hundred times….peace and love
R.I.P.D.I.L.U
HARD TO LOSE A PARENT, I CANT EVEN IMAGINE. ANY WORD ON WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO HER?
I am so sick of reading about Kanye and his dead mom! Since when did getting a tit job and tummy-tuck make you a martyr? Maybe Kanye will stop being such an arrogant (yet still talentless) prick now. He sure as shit wouldn't care if your mom died. He's just using it so ya'll (not me) buy his music and make him even more wealthy to dull his pain. Fuck him.
very sorry about your immense loss kanye!you were your mom's knoght in shining armor.plough ahead! be a great success.get married,make beautiful kids and keep on making your mom proud.
Wow, what class. NOT. What a way to pay tribute to your dead mother. Drop the F bomb over and over. What a disrespectful piece of trash.
I'm so over it, big deal his mom died, brave men and women die every day fighting in the war and I don't see you making postings about that. They die heroically fighting for our freedoms, the ability to persue the american dream, the ability for us all to have freedom of speech on this site, the ability for him to make his crappy music…..she died getting her fat ass sucked out and look at all the attention she gets. Maybe he should have taken some time off to mourn instead of doing a concert to gain some sympothy. God bless the American Soldiers who have died for us, and their still mourning families. I can only imaging the chip he will NOW have on his shoulder.
Re: Agnacious – Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic?
He didn't believe in DOG.
That one kills me.
I agree. But is must suck to lose your mom.
Big deal his mom died…brave men and women die nearly every day in our war and I don't see you posting a thing about it. They die heroically fighting to maintain our freedom, our ability to persue the american dream, our ability to speak freely in sites such as this, for his ability to make and sell his crappy thug music…she died getting her fat ass sucked out and look at the attention it gets. God bless the fallen American Soldiers and their still mourning families. I can only imagine the chip he will NOW have on his shoulder.
I LOVE YOU KANYE! STAY STRONG AND KEEP MAKING YOUR MOM PROUD. I KNOW SHE'S SMILING AS SHE'S WATCHING OVER YOU.. SHE WILL LIVE THROUGH YOU FOREVER..
Kayne has always had a big head whenever I've seen him in interviews. When I heard about his Mom's death, I really felt sorry for him. To lose a parent is one of the worst things a person ever goes through. I'm completely amazed that this tragedy has made him more human, more down to earth. Out of this sad death, I really think that he will appeal to even more people.
You know what, I think he tells himself and the world that he is the best to boost his own mind and ego. But what you have to give him is credit that he can also make fun of himself and his public persona, take a look at his performance on saturday night live he CLEARLY makes fun of how the public views his "over inflated" ego. He OBVIOUSLY has talent, listen to some of his lyrics, and not to mention all the number ones he has produced and written. I dont like all of his songs but the guy has talent. If people have a problem with him preforming during this tough time, everyone greves diffrently and they say music is therapy for some. He is just doing what his mother or ANY mother for that fact would want their child to do "kill it" and so he did!!
Re: tj – Thank you! I was reading these posts and was thinking the same thing after reading "God bless you Kanye", "Stay strong Kanye" over & over agin! I understand sending your condolences to him, but for you people to act like he and Donda were personal friends of yours is pathetic. This woman wasn't on the front line fighting for our freedom. She wasn't trying to find a cure for cancer or AIDS. She wasn't even doing charity. She was getting her juggs enlarged and her fat ass sucked away! Get your priorities in check people.
Re: Fiddy – ur a bitch ur a bitch she was still his fucking mother asshole so ur the kind of bitch that would not give a fuck if ur mother died and if she is dead im sure u did not give a fuck.piece of shit.
nothing but class.
kanyes amazing.
Thanks for sharing that. Gave me chills. Not a fan of his, but I certainly understand his pain. Heart you Perez
Fuck Kayne West and fuck his big fat (dead) momma!!
Wow…I totally understand him. I really felt when he said that people keep telling him to stop touring and go home…when he said "Go home to what!!!?"I felt his pain when he said that. That speaks volumes.
Thank God the doctor who killed her was black, otherwise we wouldn't hear the end of it!
Let go of the arrogance , your hate & racism towards white ppl and the entitlement attitude , look what VANITY did to your momma ~
I'm praying that fat coon Sean Kingston goes to the same doctor for lipo and the same thing happens to him.
I lost my dad around Kanyes age. I know him and his mom were extremely close. You do what you gotta do Kanye. Celebrate her life and yours. They never really leaves us. And Rockin out the Journey was very cool and beautiful!
Uhhhhhh, he hasn't even buried his mother yet and he's out doig concerts?
============================================
I guess it's all about the MONEY……….
Re: tj –
I agree, there are people out there that deserve the publicity more, but that's celebrity for you. My mother, a wonderful woman, died after a long battle with diabetes. Our soldiers die protecting this country. Enough with this crap! She died from an elective surgery! Yes it is sad, but she didn't die with honor- just vanity!
Kudos for making a speech but it's kinda repellent when someone weaves in the ol' 'gotta be number one and take over the world' schtick into a speech about their dead mother. Maybe that's what she would've wanted but it doesn't make me like either of them. Guess his mother never taught him that sometimes even rock stars need to know the meaning of 'humility'.
I can totally understand where he is coming from.
.
I lost my mother last year.
.
About a week later she found me.
i was there!! be jealous, it was great
yawn … yep, still don't care about black people! And Kanye should have spent 2 minutes on the net before sending his Mom to that monkey to be sliced up. moron.
I lost my mom in the mall once.
first off i'd like to say that this is a horrible thing that has happened to the family, yes and i feel deeply sorry for the family's loss.
second–thats pretty sad that someone actually filmed him breaking down. i mean, we're all human with emotions. i really dont see why the media is making such a big deal about his break down. wouldnt you be an emotional mess if someone close to you passed on? celebrities are people too. they're not robots.
it doesn't matter how she died, the fact is that he lost his mother. can you imagine losing the #1 person in your life? i lost a parent to cancer, but i would never minimalize anyone's loss of their parent no matter how they died, cosmetic or not. the fact is she's gone and the feeling you have when you lose someone is the same no matter how they died. she was his total support system, and he's right when he says what does he have to go home to now? doing his music is what is making him happy right now so fuck off.
Re: scoot – THERE IS NOTHING WRONG FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW THEIR FEELINGS IT IS ACTUALLY HEALTHY!!! GO ON AND PICK ON PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED TO BE PICK ON LIKE PEOPLE WHO REALLY DESERVE IT : KILLERS ETC
Uhm … other doctors said DON'T DO IT !! But VANITY took over , Arrogance , hating white ppl & blaming them for EVERYTHING runs in the family . To die of CANCER or any other painful disease would be sad but DYING for ARROGANCE & VANITY ( Shakes Head ) well that is just plain embarrassing & karma for the West family .
The times that Kanye said "fuck" really were very touching, weren't they? Perez, you are a fool!
nice video , but i have better quality over at www.sp1200.net
Re: Britney blows –
Hahaha..Thats too funny..I hate that fat ass..He FUCKIN butchered the Zeppelin song he tried to remake.. He called it like my love or me love some bullshit..
Re: MEEEEE –
Kayne makes robot music..He cuts and pastes recorded instruments..hahaha Yeah thats a real artist..NOT
;
If you like Kayne that much your obviously retarded.
:
His hey mama song was garbage.
That was a nice tribute. It only shows how strong Kanye really is.
it was last saturday night, in Paris.
Re: Topanga – ……What the fuck do you mean cheesy??!!?? What the fuck is "So Cheesy" about him dedicating a song to his late mother that reminds him of her??!!….AND TO ALL OF YA'LL ON HERE TALKIN' SHIT ABOUT KANYE OR HIS MOTHER ALL YA'LL CAN GO AND FUCK YOURSELVES…KARMA DOES HAPPEN…
Yeah, a wee or a WAY………..Re: Topanga –
Ok for the people that say vanity killed her you must not know ANYONE with the curse it is to have NATURAL big breasts. Yes a reduction is considered a "cosmetic surgery", but those with big NATURAL breasts are often plauged with back and neck aches to the point were you will do ANYTHING to relieve yourself from pain (trust me I look at a butcher knife not like anyone does)!! I know personally, my dr said I need to look into having a reduction myself. And for the people that are saying other parents and soldiers die everyday, you are right people die EVERYDAY but some have priorites mixed up, service men and women are not given thier due as much as some of these celebs that do drugs, fuck everyone in sight, and have a sex tape comming out, its just a sad ,sad world!!
OH AND DUMBASS ZEP DIDNT MAKE THIS SONG IT WAS JOURNEY!!!!
I dont think I've ever read so much ignorance in my life. Some of you guys are mentally disturbed and ignorant as all hell.
************
THAT DONDA ACTUALLY DIED ON THE TABLE, AND THEY *PUT HER DEAD BODY* BACK IN HER HOUSE!!!
*NO ONE* GOES STRAIGHT HOME THE SAME DAY, AFTER AN 8-HOUR SURGERY!!
AND THE FACT THAT SHE *DIDN'T* ENTER A RECOVERY CENTER THAT NIGHT VERY MUCH POINTS TO SOMETHING EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS…..
HAS ANYONE READ ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? I ONLY READ IT ONCE IN THE BEGINNING, AND THEN NO ONE MENTIONED IT AGAIN….
************
Shocking how many crazy people visit this site. Yes, Kanye West is and remains a bit of a demagogue, but surely he's excused after his mother died so tragically. Safe your gratuitous hatred for that dodgy doctor, the medical board and the media outlets who promoted him and imposed him on the ignorant. Yes, Oprah, that would be you, making a lot of hoopla about the James Frey con, a fictional writer, and firing a whole school staff because of one rotten apple who besmirched your inflated self-image.
Re: bitch –
Thus said this douchebag
I think that was really heartbreaking.
Why was she so concerned about her fat ass when right smack in the middle of her face is that huge nose and those fugly teeth? Sorry, but you know you were thinking the same thing.
I agree with the comment by 'bitch'. He is the cockiest mf around, and his tribute to his mom was all about him. It's sad to lose a parent, but this tribute was super cheezy and all this 'be number one' bs..he makes me want to puke. He's milking off his mother's death. Douche.
I agree..his language was completely foul considering he was paying tribute to his mom. It's not all about your tour and success. He is not humbled at all. Bless his mom, but I think she spoiled him to the point of no return.
