Kanye West Update


Hey guys! I know everyone has heard of the untimely passing of Dr. Donda West and hopefully has kept 'Ye in your prayers through this rough time! I am an uber-Kanye West fan, having followed him way before he came out with his debut album. I remember reading an article on him back from when he did Jay-Z's BluePrint album and falling in love with his arrongance and swagga. Anyway, based on reports I've been reading, he is quite torn up over his mom and is even in denial about it. He had no idea she was even having the surgery or the extent to which she went to have the surgery done. Very sad...
She was definitely a hero to me just because she was a single Black educated woman who raised a child alone.

I'm Still Alive!
