Call me Stupid if you like (no4), but did u not listen to what he said on stage u can’t tell him shit m’fuckaz….he’s grieving the best way he knows how…he can cry if he wants, we all know he’s a very emotional type of person. So by u calling him immature or saying he’s not a real man cos he’s on stage crying is the real STUPID comment!! We don’t care if you like his personality or not, he lost his mum and he ’s got the worlds attention so let him breathe and air it all out man, sing his mother’s praises to his heart’s content….goddamn….
Stay strong Kanye!! R.I.P. Donda West!!! Bless…

Dumb asses why sit at home and grieve all by your lonely when your number one supporter is no longer there? Turn to those who show you love for who you are , your fans. It’s not about capitalizing he’s grieving the best way he knows how. When he was nowhere to be found people had shit to say. He’s celebrating his mothers life….. for heavens sake it was the mans mother the woman who gave him life. How do you hate on someones personality that you’ve probably never met or had a conversation face to face? If anything the man is honest not on the fake I want to be gangster tip.

we all deal with loss in different ways. it’s rather closed minded for some of u (#4, etc) to dictate how this grown man should mourn. He’ll be mourning for the rest of his life in the best way he knows how. he will learn through the process…but no one can really tell him how to mourn. he’s doing what his mom would want him to do…what she molded him to do. you can’t knock that, man…Be a real “man” and have some empathy/sympathy (look them up if you need to) to Kanye’s situation; understanding that everyone handles things differently. let him do him, basically!

I think if I was in his situation I would grieve the same. My youngest sister passed last year at 15 years old and I worked worked and worked because when you sit at home all you can do is think, and your brain is your worst enemy. Who wants to sit home and think about what if’s when you can find a way to take your mind off of the pain? I feel for Kanye, this is tough and everytime I hear about it it brings me back to how I felt only a year ago.

@ # 4 Dummy the same nigga that has to report to 3 days after his mother pass on a 9 to 5. The same nigga that dumps your trash after his mother passes is a work in 3 days. What company you know gives you a week to grieve after the passing of a parent. This is his job and anyone that has lost someone close knows the only way you deal with it is resume your life asap. Athletes do it all the time DOC Rivers just lost his dad and coached the Cetlic the same day he buried him, and only missed 1 game during the process. It’s called professionalism.

this is the reason kanye fans ride wit him,
alot of these rappers are too hard, too this and too that.
nobody real
u can never accuse that man of not being real.
his passion for the music,is real.
rappers always trying to pull a gimmick.
this nigga passion for his music and his fans is the realest i’ve seen in a long time.
be real wit your fans and your fans will support
u think his moms wants him at home crying,
when dmx cry over a dog its all good. but kanye cant cry over his moms on stage,
thats nigga might not be the most gangsta, but he’s definetly 1 of the realest.
respect that

I DONT THINK KANYE TRYING TO CAPITALIZE OFF HIS MOTHERS DEATH PEOPLE GRIEVE IN DIFFERENT WAYS WHEN MY MOTHER’S MOTHER DIED 2 YEARS AGO SHE KEPT CONSTANTLY WORKING BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT IF SHE KEPT BUSY IT WOULD TAKE HER MIND OFF IT I THINK THATS HOW HE FEEL HES THROWING HIMSELF INTO OVER DRIVE TO TRY TO COPE WITH THE PASSING OF HIS MOTHER UNLESS U HAVE EVER LOSS A PARENT U WOULDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT HES GOING THROUGH

Nothing embarassing about crying over your mothers death on stage. Some people on here are just too damn ignorant for their own good. Get outta hear with that dumb ass street mentality…

fesdgd?? number 4 what are you talking about! You knock this dude for doing his show, and having emotion. The thought of him even trying to capitalize on this is rediculous. You say he was embarrassed by crying??? You must be heartless.

IM SORRY IF I’VE HURT UR WEAK FEELIN’S BUT SOME HOW IM NOT SURPRISED BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY EXPECTIN THIS TYPE OF COMMENTS, COUZ MOST OF THE PPL IN THIS WORLD R VERY WEEK MENTALLY DUE TO THE WAY THEY TRY 2 IGNORE CERTAIN SITUATION, AND DONT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE SOME SHIT, I AINT NO H8R I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SOME PPL DO CERTAIN THINGS. U CALL PROFFISSIONALISM GOING TO DO A SHOW AND CRY ? OR U CALLIN THAT CAUSE HIS MUM PASSED AWAY AND HE WENT TO DO THE SHOW AND CRIED? SECOND, WHEN U KNOW U CANT HANDLE CERTAIN SITUATION U HAVE 2 BE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO SHOW THIS KIND OF FEELINGS IN PUBLIC.PPL DIE ALL THE TIME! I JUST THINK WHEN SOMEONE CLOSE TO U DIE U SHUDNT BE IN SOME HOW PROMOTIN HIS DEATH BY DOING SHOW AND CRY IN THOSE SHOWS, SO PPL CAN FEEL SORRY ABOUT U. THAT’S MY OPINION U DONT HAVE 2 AGREE OR RIDE W IT, THAT IS JUST THE WAY I SEE THIS SITUATION, THERE’S STUFF THAT CAN BE AVOIDABLE.MAYBE IM COLD, MAYBE IM HURTLESS,BUT THE FACT OF HIM GOING 2 THE SHOW AND CRY, AINT GONNA BRING HIS MUM BACK, SO IT WAS A POINTLESS DECISION FROM HIS PART IN MY POINT OF VIEW, JUST KEEP UR EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS 2 URSELF we dont wanna see that shit, I DONT WANNA SEE THAT SHIT !!!!

fesdgd-
so i guess in 96 when mike won that 4th ring on fathers day and he was on the floor crying for like 10 minutes and the camera was all over him, he was being weak right, sorta actin like a bitch right.
kanye moms, was like mikes pops. always there, supportive and died tragically. mike made himself an even bigger star after his pops death, and i’m sure kanye will follow those footsteps

@King

dont compare michael jordan to kanye west.. michael jordan is on a higher level than kanye.. second of all, yall kanye fans are acting like u people grew up w/kanye and his mom.. stop getting mad because someone is voicing there opinion.. none of yall knw kanye or his mom… if kanye found out one of his fans died he wouldnt care or give a damn.. 50 mom died, nas mom died… this happens in the world if yall didnt knw that… yall are not related to this nigga kanye..
