Kanye West- Hey Mama (Grammy Edition)

I made a music video for the Grammy Edition because one doesn't exist. (nb. the music video for Follow God had just been released). Rest in peace Donda West.

[@RecoveryGang4life]

I’m going to put my mom to rest today and I’m gonna play this after the funeral and release balloons into the sky. This song tears me up cause it describes outlet relationship so well and the way he put this version together is perfect. Good looking ye

Big Facts!! I tell people this all the time “I Am Kanye!!”…….losing your Mother is REALLY debilitating, life shattering, altering, traumatic etc!! Those are the closest words I could think of to describe it!!

[@dirtmcgirt8269]

My momma's bday today. Passed 5 years ago at 52. Lost my mind when I lost her. She was my best friend. Miss her more than words can describe. Wish I could rewind time 😥 love u ma "this little light of mine"

There’s not been an artist passing that has made me sad. But when Kanye goes I’ll be gutted.

[@goat3x333]

I said the same thing

[@rashad0033]

Teard up just reading this... Smh

[@earthgrazer2164]

When an artist you like passes it feels difficult at first but then the community comes in and helps you in not just with the passing but with your entire life you learn about what the artists impact was and it gives this wonderful layer to all of their music and everything else they left. It's almost like a rebirth and a new chapter of your life has started.

[@matthewgranger2150]

Man when Juice WRLD died it hit me like a truck, after he died I realized that i was so blind to what he was saying in his songs just because they sounded so good to me. After hearing around probably 65% or so percent of his unreleased songs I’m really wondering how the people around him didn’t try anf get him help seriously, like one of the songs he literally says the doctor told me one or two more years of the drugs he was using he will be dead, and that’s what happened. I really hope the people around Kanye and ones that are close to him get help somehow, it may seem like a lost cause but he’s lost his wife (children? idk for sure) and his mom, what does he really have left?

[@hartfantom]

@@earthgrazer2164 man, when XXXTENTACION passed. I was destroyed. The community DIDNT help that much tbh. So many fake people showing love who demonized him while he was alive. I ended up having to be one of the people doing the lifting up

I used to play the original version of this song for my mom when she was alive. She loved it and would say “I’m so proud of you” , she passed away in Sept 2016 of cancer but I try and visit her and bring her flowers all the time. I play her this song every time I visit. miss her a lot.

[@EYEBARBERSHOP]

Dreamt of my mama last night, This song came to mind while I was driving today. Now I can’t stop listening to it. Every time I visit my mama at the cemetery I tell her to visit me in my dreams 7 years later I can only count with one or possibly two hands how many times I’ve seen her in my dreams. I miss her so much.

[@demonreacts7816]

Ppl can hate on Kanye West all they want, but idk how those can say that yet never listen to this song. This is easily the most emotional song he made and this version made it better

[@joredet8521]

This and violent crimes will always make me emotional. Kanye holds the girls in his life so close that it ends up hurting him

[@adamd.3571]

Check out Only One, that shit is his most personal song

[@IceKoldKilla]

Can't get enough of this song today. Ma passed this morning. I was with her. She got to go the way she wanted. And honestly I'm proud of her and her work on this earth. She helped so many people without ever getting in return. But it showed me the way to crate love and peace. Just don't expect anything back. Share and give. Eventually you get rewarded with long lasting friendships. It's always worth it.

[@tarunmattu4945]

I'm sorry to hear this, but I hope that knowing your mother passed peacefully provides yourself and family with some peace of your own.

[@cynthiagale5403]

Your mom sounds a lot like mine. She passed in 2002. The pain never goes away but it does dull somewhat. Sending you love and positive energy.💗💔💗

The Grammy performance is so emotional because it was after his mum passed away. Long Live Donda West.

[@earthgrazer2164]

I would to if I actually liked my mother to that extent but Its nice to see it from his perspective and it slowly starts to seep in.

[@MCHLvisual]

Probably one of my favorite versions of the song. 🕊

I remember seeing an Oprah performance Kanye did of this song with his mum right in front of him. Long Live Donda West.

[@ros_berth]

The side of Kanye that media doesn't know

[@DutchKidRanger]

They don't want anyone to know about the beauty and humanity of him, that doesn't sell as well as tragic and unsettling news

[@cartmanofsp]

''Now I can't wait to go to sleep.'' Is such an emotional line to me

[@bastinino3115]

Listening to this song after donda dropped, Kanye really loved his mom. People really need to understand how hard it is to loose someone you love especially how Kanye’s mom passed away so unexpectedly.

[@loneshewolf6065]

He sings about my greatest fear. All things considered I think he kept his composure when he lost his mama because idk what I'd do if I lost mine.
