Kanye West is finally opening up about the tragic loss of his dear mother, the late Dr. Donda West.

The rapper took to his blog to chat with his fans about how his life is different after his mom's death.

Says Kanye:

"I don't do anything I don't love anymore… I loved the flashing lights vid so it didn't matter 2 me if someone one else didn't. While people chase money I pursue happiness. So many people talk about there investments or how much money they have but there's so many rich people who spend a lot of that trying 2 buy a piece of happiness. If there's anything my mom taught me is to enjoy life. I just recorded my first verse in the last 6 months 2 days ago at Bape's Studio in Japan. It felt good and I was inspired. I absolutely lost my mind (in a good way) on the new Glow in the Dark tour. The constant hours of creating helped me 2 keep from loosing my mind in a bad way. Chris Milk told me tragedy can produce great art and this is definitely true. I am a total mad man now, up till 3 am every night, trying 2 fight pain, board-um, and uncertainty with creativity. All that said, life is good….. good as finding the perfect fabric for a simple one button casual blazer with matching pants."

      Kanye seriously needs to go back to school. I'm sure that his mother would not appreciate his many misspellings. "Board-um?" OMG!!

    25. Ashley says – reply to this


      25

      He seems like a great guy who has a good head on his shoulders. However, he needs to go to night school or something……..His grammar and spelling are horrible.

      Congrats on being an honourable man though Kanye…..you definitely have your head on straight and have done well avoiding the pressures of fame and Hollywood.

      He is mourning. The world takes on a different shade when things like this happen. Good to keep things simple. Not only are you more happy..nothing can let you down when you don't expect too much (materialistic wise).

    48. Hope says – reply to this


      48

      Enough with the sympathies! His mother died MONTHS ago. I don't know why we treat him like a 3 year old who just lost his mother. Kanye is 30 years old still trying to illicit sympathy for a botched plastic surgery operation that his mother elected to get after 2 other MD's told her that she wasn't healthy enough to get them. Cry me a river Kanye! By the way, his "music" SUCKS and is NOT original!

    56. Fo Realz says – reply to this


      56

      Yeah, everyone knows that after three months you are totally over your mom's death. As if. I didn't read anywhere where he was asking for sympathy. He is just saying how he feels. Believe it or not, he has a right to that. Now as for his spelling and his music…uhhh…I'm not defending that.

    57. Solaera says – reply to this


      57

      Re: Hope

      Well, I'm going to guess that your mom is still alive or you wouldn't be surprised that her death is still effecting him after 90 days. It will probably take whatever is left of my life to get over MY mom's death when it happens. But then we're close and I'm a fairly loving and compassionate person.

    58. ME says – reply to this


      58

      ok…if you lost your mother you wouldn't know what to do either…he is expressing his feelings and when you do that you don’t even notice mistakes…you’re clearing your mind and not caring about anything else…about the spelling he is a great rapper and it truly doesn’t matter how the words end up on the paper as long he can read them to create amazing songs…millions will listen…most of his songs have great meanings too…look past the grammar and look deeper into the meaning of things…the position he is in…who knows…this may have even reached out to someone in the same position or someone thinking of the same topic…grammar doesn’t count when you look at life from a different angle…that's all…don’t be so shallow and rude…honestly people…thanks Perez too…it helped…

      kanye, kanye, kanye, its THEIR not THERE and since when does anyone passed the age of 16 say "2" instead of "to"?

      stick to promoting hideous clothing brands and ripping off other artist's music to make yourself famous.

      Kanye is coming out with his own line of menswear. He wants to be just like Sean Combs and Jay-Z. That's why as of late he has been all 'I LOVE CLOTHES! I LOVE FASHION! COUTURE IS MY PASSION!!!….. What a loser.

      first of all its a blog perfect english isnt necessary. he is expressing how he feels for his FANS. if it doesnt apply to you dont read it. gosh its amazing how many insensitive people walk this earth. he lost his mother.. some people dont just pick up and move on.

    71. KBS says – reply to this


      71

      I am not a fan of his but when I read some of these comments it makes me mad. We are in a world where everyone uses short forms for words or when using MSN they shorten the words or make new ways to spell them. I am sure he knows how to spell boredom. But the comment on his mother by Hope is terrible. My husband lost his Mom years ago and it will upset him his whole life. You do not get over losing someone that close to you. You do not have a heart at all. I did not hear him looking for sympathy on that Blog sounds like he is finally living.

      he seems like a survivor. One who can triumph over tragedy, and see the beauty and growth learned through despair. No wonder he is such a success. His mother taught him well.

      did he really just write BOARD-UM what an illiterate asshole.

      75

      That's all well and good, but…I wish people who have all the money in the world would stop telling us who are still struggling that money doesn't mean anything or isn't important to them. They weren't saying that when they were struggling to get to the top and trying to make all that money. He's at a point in his life where he doesn't have to worry about investments and how much money he has. Many of us would love to be in that position.

      I like Kayne West. A rapper with a brain (and a heart) He is right - money doesn't make you happy and people who talk all the time about money are very boring people.

    82. Tiffany says – reply to this


      82

      He's not illiterate. He just thinks he's being creative. I love how he talks about not pursuing money but happiness, but then equates happiness or "life being good" with matching pants and a "casual" blazer. Ah beloved consumerism.

      This photo just shows why Kanye's so ugly on the inside, his mom was so ugly on the outside. I don't know why people are so suprised that Kanye acts like a 5 year old and can't spell, the guy rhymes "high" with "high" or "man" with "man". Yeah let's give him another grammy. Not that a grammy means anything at all, music has sucked since the late 90's.

      Kanye is obviously not very well educated and he's a little quick to play the race card but I'm sorry for his loss and I admire his courage to get back into life, to get back to doing what he's famous for. I wish him luck.
