LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Donda West, mother of Kanye West and former chairwoman of Chicago State University's English department, has died, a spokesman for the rapper said.

Donda West died Saturday night in Los Angeles, said the spokesman, who asked for anonymity because not all family members had been notified. She was 58.

"The family respectfully asks for privacy during this time of grief," the spokesman said.

A cause of death has not been released.
 
Many prayers for Kanye's mom, although I dislike him very much for his racist views.
 
Are you guys talking bout when he said Bush doesnt like Black people??? IMO I dont find him racist at all, but that is JMO
 
Wow, she's so young! News like this always makes me sad.
 
I dislike him very much too - but more for his sense of entitlement at awards shows. I wish they'd just quit nominating him for things. His rants and him storming the stage if he doesn't win only make him look like a jackass. He needs to grasp the fact that not everyone likes his music.

Maybe the death of his mom will humble him a bit and maybe he'll learn to be grateful for the things he does have instead of whining about the things he doesn't.

ETA - there are many reports she died from complications during a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Very sad....
 
Jules the reason you listed is the reason I dont like him all that much. But onto the mom how sad....
 
he just has this sense of entitlement that is really annoying... makes you wanna slap him! if i were HIS momma, i'd get it out of him real quick! lol... but i think she PUT it in him from the way that article read... she really "pumped" him up... if you know what i mean. that is young but a little old to be getting a boob job, isn't it?
 
"Donda West served as chief executive of West Brands LLC, the parent company of her son's business enterprises, and as chairwoman of the Kanye West Foundation, an educational nonprofit that works to decrease dropout rates and improve literacy" from article.

Is this about Kanye West or his Mum dying?
She didnt sound that bad to me, anyone who tries to help kids like she did, well, it is a big loss. RIP Mrs West.
 
He would really hate me because I don't even know who he is. :blushing: My sympathy to his family, though.
 
Even though I tried not to I do like his music. I think he's intelligent and talented but a bit spoiled or maybe a bit off his rocker. If he wants to act like an as* every time he loses an award, let him.

The thing that made me dislike him as a person was the picture of him on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that his mom died. I sure hope if he was the one to pay for this surgery that he doesn't blame himself.

Yes, Kanye does have a sense of entitlement and is a bit eccentric and off his rocker, but damn can he produce. Not so good a rapper or lyricist, but I enjoy his music all the same. His newest album, Graduation, is actually fantastic.

Just in case you were interested, here's the lyrics for his song "Hey Mama":

[Chorus]
(Hey Mama), I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I'm so proud of you
Let me tell you what I'm about to do, (Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama)

[Verse 1]
I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine
This little light of mine and I'm finna let it shine
I'm finna take yall back to them better times
I'm finna talk about my mama if yall don't mind
I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi
Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
You fixed me up something that was good for my soul
Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?
You work late nights just to keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn't give me a curl
And you never put no man over me
And I love you for that mommy cant you see?
Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes
Cuz a cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
I said mommy Imma love you till you don't hurt no more
And when I'm older, you aint gotta work no more
And Imma get you that mansion that we couldn't afford
See you're, unbreakable, unmistakable
Highly capable, lady that's makin loot
A livin legend too, just look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Forrest Gump mama said, life is like a box of chocolates
My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate
Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with
But still supported me when I did the opposite
Now I feel like it's things I gotta get
Things I gotta do, just to prove to you
You was getting through, can the choir please
Give me a verse of “You, Are So Beautiful To Me�
Can't you see, you're like a book of poetry
Maya Angelou, Nicky Giovanni, turn one page and there's my mommy
Come on mommy just dance wit me, let the whole world see your dancing feet
Now when I say Hey, yall say Mama, now everybody answer me (Hey Mama)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I guess it also depends tho, if my ends low
Second they get up you gon get that Benzo
Tint the windows, ride around the city and let ya friends know (Hey Mama)

[Verse 3]
Tell your job you gotta fake em out
Since you brought me in this world, let me take you out
To a restaurant, upper echelon
Imma get you a jag, whatever else you want
Just tell me what kind of S-Type Donda West like?
Tell me the perfect color so I make it just right
It don't gotta be Mother's Day, or your birthday
For me to just call and say (Hey Mama)
 
Sorry guys-I love Kanye and I'm not afraid to admit it.The song Paladin posted is one of my favorites. Some of his songs are downright goofy, some very heartwarming and inspirational, others typical rap. Considering what other "famous" people are doing these days acting a fool at an awards show is not that bad imo. You can definitely tellthat his Mom had a very big positive impact on his life.
RIP Mrs. West
