Kanye Speaks From The Heart!

Kanye West gave a very touching tribute to his mother at his concert in Belgium on Sunday.

Click here to watch his eloquent speech about the late Donda West, the media, how he's feeling and why he's going ahead with his tour so soon after her death.

Head up, Kanye!

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!
bitch says – reply to this

27

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.
Paulie says – reply to this

28

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…
Marcy says – reply to this

29

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….
Dont Care Anymore!!! says – reply to this

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.
Dont Care Anymore!!! says – reply to this

31

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.

33

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
coco says – reply to this

61

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: 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!
scoutzed says – reply to this

74

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'.

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.
Alex says – reply to this

80

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.

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 .

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!!

*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.

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.
angie says – reply to this

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.
