    @dearlittleheart Před 2 lety +128

    The relationship he had with his mother was something I have never seen before especially on the documentary. He never interrupted her, he never spoke over her, he took it all in and his mother would say his name a lot which is an excellent form of communication it releases dopamine and the other feel good chemicals in the brain. This burst of excitement makes people happy and sends unconscious signals such as empathy, trust, and compassion to the unconscious brain. They were so comfortable around each other she knew all of his lyrics. Music can be so deep and it's the ultimate form of expression and he didn't feel judged by Donda and she got to know him on a completely different level which is so rare it would be like letting your parents read your journal or your deep and meaningful conversations on social media. He didn't feel judged by her and she loved them all, Donda is his number one fan! When one of them started to smile the other would contagiously. They would rap together and it was pure sunshine and happiness Hey Mama in the kitchen. I get the feeling his mother was beautiful inside and out. This special and vital relationship was just ripped away he still needed her. He will never get over it and I lost my father last year in a way that will leave me asking why and what if for the rest of my life often and it haunts me. So I feel for him so much. I am glad he is still gifting us with his stunning music. I really hope that one day he will get his pure sunshine smile back.

While the emotions are real and not playing a role, it’s so in character for not only him and what he represents but also for his character in yeezus.

    She was 50 and I was 25.
    It still hurts all the time.
    I couldn't sing a song about her either without losing it.
    Love you KANYE

      @Tori Ko I would love to say it does. But depends how u deal with it . For me it hasn't because I tried for many years to block out or numb my pain . I got so good at that too . I showed no emotion or even cried for years. But it all comes back to u with a vengeance I wish I tried to heal myself sooner .but I'm doing that now. And yes I still miss her everyday!!

    Y'all gotta understand, Kanye's mother was his best friend in the entire world. She even wrote an entire book about raising him (recommend reading). Some folks get over the death of their mother a bit easier than others, but to Kanye, Dr. Donda was his entire world, and was one of the only people on the planet to support him before he became super famous, when everybody was telling him he'd never make it.

      I disagree. I feel like this is a statement said in attempt to praise Kanye, who I think is a generational talent. But I feel like this is incorrect. Unless your like 60 years old or are just out of touch with the media and the culture then you probably understand how important Kanye is. I mean he is one of the most famous people of all time. His music is widely popular and he gets high praise from everybody due to his cultural relevance and impact. I mean sure, it sounds cool to say that someone is "misunderstood" or "confused" or "unappreciated". But the fact is, everybody knows who Kanye is and what he has done for music.
