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."

      His mother was an English professor. How ironic. I cannot believe that she did not teach him the proper use of the English language, and how to spell correctly.

      Re: Gene – Read it again you fucking illiterate piece of shit. Does anyone else find it odd that there are a bunch of intolerant racists trolling around a gay latino's blog? And to the people who called Kanye a thug…. really???? You know thugs that wear balenciaga and go to Justice concerts and blog about furniture and architecture and rave about the latest bjork video. You must be from the fucking mean streets. You ignorant fucks just proved that race is still a big fucking issue in this country.

      Of course Kanye likes Bjork. They are both fooling a lot of people with their "talent." Did you have to look up the spelling of balenciaga? Don't they make purses??

      Re: douchenozzle – You see… sometimes a brand will produce two different lines, one of women's clothing and accessories and one of men's clothing and accessories. Mind-blowing huh? It's a pretty new concept. It might not have reached your part of the woods yet. Your opinion that bjork and kanye are both untalented has nothing to do with my statement that kanye is not a thug because he does not talk about thuggish things or live a thug life. there is no need for me to rebut that.

      Only a thug would let his mother go to a storefront plastic surgeon. He must carry a lot of guilt for that. I still hate his music and he seems like an egotistical, mama's boy Class A ass-hat.

      Anybody defending this idiot…"oh, you don't get it, he meant to be stupid." Jesus. The guy can't spell, puncuate, or make a coherent sentence. And he is suppossed to be a spokesman? He milked his mother's horrendous plastic surgery death. Yeah, I can relate to that (if my median income is at LEAST a quarter million yearly). This bastard still rakes in bucks because assholes think he is SO intelligent and SINCERE. This fucker is an IDIOT. He can't spell, can;t write, can't do shiat….people that buy him buy britney, whoever the other idiots are making NO music. Name ONE fucking song in the past ten years that moved you. Kanye cares about MONEY. I'm sure he's upset that he caused his mother's death. He did. She quit her intelligence chasing to meet his "I'll get you a tummytuck, MaMa."

      Re: darthice – unless you meant your comment to be a joke, i would suggest you learn grammar and proper word composition before i would criticize someone else…i do agree than Mr. West needs to learn how to compose a sentence correctly; however, he has plenty of money to hire a private tutor.

      So, are you defending his IQ0, or what? Kanye is just smooth. The guy killed his mother. She might have died years later, but, Kanye's "i can buy you everything now, actually killed her before, let's live like humans nbefore this. I still can't understand this …If you can't understand people get stupid and die… This has NOTHING to do with race… how can you defend these stupid whatevers? Punctuation and shiat…DOES have to do with you have a brane. Now, Several will go, "they went BRANE", my fucker…If yopu did'nt know black from white, who would you back?…although, still, people that can;t spell or pubnctuate, kiss their illiterate asses goodbye. Have half a brain. Including Stupid Ignorant I'm an Asshole How stupid can you be to think people follow you? How ignorant are people? Pretty Fucking, as I see it. You bastards that think it means nothing….you've learned nothing…you think …GOD Damned…Grow A Brain..

      234

      What's wrong with the world mama?
      People living like aint got no mamas
      I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
      Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
      Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
      But we still got terrorists here livin
      But if you only have love for your own race
      Then you only leave space to discriminate
      And to discriminate only generates hate
      And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
      Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
      And that's exactly how anger works and operates
      You gotta have love just to set it straight
      Take control of your mind and meditate
      Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all
      It just ain't the same all ways have changed
      New days are strange is the world the insane?
      If love and peace so strong
      Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
      Nations dropping bombs
      Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
      With ongoing suffering
      As the youth die young
      So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
      So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
      With this world that we living in
      People keep on giving in
      Makin wrong decisions
      only visions of them livin and
      Not respecting each other
      Deny thy brother
      The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
      The truth is kept secret
      Swept under the rug
      If you never know truth
      Then you never know love
      Most of us only care about money makin
      Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction

      237

      oops, i owe kanye an apology!

      I thought he said WHITE people chase money, not while people chase money…i should have known better….and as to his spelling, who cares!
      and he won't be over the death of his mother, which is not diminished at all by the fact that the reason had to do with plastic surgery…still very sad………

Its filled with and ran by a bunch of incompotent retards.

      People talking shit about kanye are ignorant- for lack of a better word.

      That is the best you can attack him on? A few mispelled words? Most of the people who visit this site are idiots and whoever left a negative post regarding kanye I'm sure went back and read their comment to check for mistakes- maybe kanye didn't proofread like the rest of you studious and educated cunts. He obviously said "board-um" on purpose bc he plays board games when he finds himself bored.

      Don't be jealous that your mom doesn't care about you the way Kanye's mother did for him and vice versa. Resolve your childhood issues that are causing you to hate more fortunate people and for you to think that it is abnormal for Kanye to still be mourning for his mother.

      I just came back from his tour and he raised the bar. I hope he never stops making music!
