Kanye Opens Up About His Mom
Filed under: Kanye West
Kanye West dialed down the douchery for once!
West sat down with Essence magazine recently and mused over The Kanye West Foundation as well as the lessons he learned from his late mother.
Kanye generously started Loop Dreams, a branch of The Kanye West Foundation dedicated to teaching kids about hip-hop and music engineering. But why specifically hip-hop?
Kanye explains:
Hip-hop is a reflection of what's going on. It's a form of entertainment and it's not steering people any differently than a [violent] movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. As a brand, I'm not defined by hip-hop. It's just a tool that I choose to use. I could have been a poet but I chose the tool of hip-hop to get my message across because it was the loudest.
The rapper's dedication to building a foundation that "encourages young people to stay in high school" stemmed directly from honoring his mom, the late Dr. Donda West.
"Since my mom died I'm about living to cultivate myself by traveling the world," Kanye explained. "My mom was an educator so she brought that kind of knowledge and instilled it in me. Now, I'm keeping her dream alive through the foundation to take it to the next level."
Touching!

he always seems sweet when he talks about his mom - you can tell thats a real soft spot for him.
Dear Kanye: if you're reading this, please send some of your poetry to gentleliger@aim.com. If I had a lighter, I'd flick it right now, out of respect. You're looking quite good lately, I must add. The L
His mom was an educator? So SHE read books but he shouldn't have to, right?
Finally. A Kanye West story where he has contributed something other than whining or bragging!
His Loop Dreams Foundation sounds like a really good cause. Go Kanye.
sad…I came across an online community for individual seeking interracial love. It is blackwhitemeet.com All singles there are seeking interracial relationships. Interracial is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!
I am losing more respect for this man as time goes by. I think this is more about his own ego than anything else.
He is making an effort to tone down the ego for the public, haha. And this is really good of him. Go Kanye.
this is simply more proof of how much he cared for his mother. normally; if you all read perezhilton.com religiously like I do; Kanye always writes in capital letters, but took a break from that for his mother. what a good son
Yeah, this is probably the most coherent thing this fool has said in a while.
Perez, What the hell is Your Problem using "douc**
words all the time?
Grow the hell up!!!
What a GAYFISH!
