It can't get any more symbolic then this. When Kanye sunk into deep depression and grief, he was on his knees, but his music was always the way back up that stopped him from falling all the way in to the sunken place. Kanye holds on to that mic for dear life. He'll never let go

@@TheOriginalPoon - It hurts me to think that he blamed himself for his moms death, it’s been 13 years. I remember seeing a video singing hey mama with his mom, he never looked happier.

[@dearlittleheart]

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.

[@saieshsheth6444]

I lost my mom two years ago today and I’ve been sobbing watching this video over and over

[@gilbertcalderon5107]

this song hits me like that everytime #respect for this kanye

[@sirdogsgaming9379]

I cry every single time I listen to Hey Mama, I don’t care how weak I may look but the love Kanye has for his mother just radiates off that song, and the way he loves his mom reminds me of my mom and it breaks me. This man is a legend, And I hope he gets everything he wants for the rest of his life until he can see his mama again. Rest in Paradise Donda.

[@preyeyinkore7238]

[@ashrafsalem2006]

here on mothers day as a reminder to appreciate your mother forever

[@cannedsas]

His grief and defeat manifests in the worst possible ways. People just want to see him on his feet doing better. My heart truly goes out to this man.

[@danm3780]

I can relate. I lost my mom in 2016 and she and I were very close. I always get so emotional when 'Hey Mama' comes on.

[@hotsauceanimations8906]

Dan M I’m sorry for your loss

[@orumara]

Man Kanye still hurting so bad from when his mum passed, it really shows with his behaviour too 2018.. poor guy.

[@zach5539]

I was there, that concert was so wild. So many intense moments. He performed his heart out

[@10oz10]

1:11 would go hard as an album cover

[@Garvit-c4t]

The fact that it is at triple 1 He is really a mystery man

[@michaelcoco]

Kanye makes me miss my mom soo much. And shes alive

[@brandytennille2211]

This is likely my first and only reply to a comment and I - 💀

[@PURPLETOPZ]

HIT THE BONES LEVEL FEELS!! The video of him and his moms signing to her. Thats how deep that was. Bravo brotha.

[@FunnyGuyMont]

😜

[@connorleahy2792]

JustMEx xMOnt people won't realize it until he's gone and that's the saddest part

[@connoreasterday306]

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.

[@honchom8833]

CJ Eastt your wrong man too many people knoe him as "the guy who got drunk and told taylor swift off"

[@lockeofficial279]

JustMEx xMOnt cause he cried about his mom dying? Lol anybody would. It's all the wild shit buddy

[@TheDofusChief]

CJ Eastt its very different being understood to bring known worldwide, people can recognize him and shit but they may not understand how he feels or acts.

[@zhairewelch8291]

The sad part is that nothing has changed since pinnochio story

[@thebiggestofhearts]

one of my favorite songs & it even makes me cry listening to it.

[@TwizzTBD]

It's insane how I cry every time I hear Hey Mama.

[@4200224]

kanye was a momas boi, when he lost his mom he was never the same.

[@no6h]

I honestly can't imagine how it feels to lose your mother, I know that day is gonna happen, I'm just not ready yet

[@playboycarti116]

Just lost my mom to COVID I’m turning 15 in a month really hard on me so I know how he feels even though it’s been along time since donda west died

[@10Points2Gryffindor]

I'm so sorry for your lost.. Stay strong bro and always keep in mind to make her proud no matter what.. she's still and will always be with you 🙏🙏☹️

[@aggghgaabk]

So sorry bro🙏🙏

[@1nk0.is_everything]

I love you donda. Thank you for giving us this precious gift that is Kanye.

[@YeTism]

God bless Ye. My mother is still here with me and I can’t imagine what I’ll be like when she’s gone.

[@thatbaaonehunna6218]

thatd be sad but still such a great feeling. have your song dedicated to her playing with thousands of fans showing support.

[@thecowboybob]

means nothing if she isn’t there with you

[@jakemandas3298]

I saw him perform this on Oprah then watched this and cried way more. Poor guy! Everyone love your mom while you have her.

[@RobertAtBuffalo]

You know what I lost my mom this year and this song means a lot to me. If you mom did everything to give you a good life at her expense you can feel each lyric of this song. Kayne is human.

[@19nightsky91]

Before my mum passed this was just a nice song, can't listen to it without crying like a baby.

[@FrannieFibgert]

it's so heartwarming how the people in the audience see how hard it is for him and when he stops they all understand how he feels and cheer for him :,)

[@gorgeous64ify]

That transition from hey mama too street lights is the most saddest thing
