Find it as a coincidence that before he went on a trip with her she died a little after? He performed with a guilt face look at him in the beginning... she died a few after...
Yah I think he was just nervous and felt bad for being a son with an attitude promblem or maybe he realized one day she will die and he realized this might be the last time he could perform the song for her u don’t have to make it sound like yeezy is illumanti 💀💀 anyways rest in paradise to the Queen 👑
@Tom Van Loenen Talent is only to be a legend like Jordan, Michael Jackson or Picasso, however you can be good if you put your heart and soul into something
I almost cry every time the camera cuts to Donda and she's just beaming with proudness for her son. I hope Kanye finds peace one day, he really hasn't been the same since :(
Proudness- I think the word you’re looking for is pride and yes she was beaming with pride for her son. She was there with him every step of the way and her belief in him and his ablities was unwavering. Her death almost broke him, as a fan it’s been so painful to watch. You’re right he has never been the same since then. He hardly ever smiles. It’s so sad. 😢😢
@@cecererei The devil is a person like you who always seems to take joy in another person’s tragedy Gacha life Together and get the devil out of your heart
There's no new Kanye or Old Kanye, there's before Donda and after Donda Kanye. The death of somebody you deeply love changes you, Kanye used that to rise up from the pain like a damn phoenix is reborn from its ashes.
This is my favorite Kanye song ever. This legit brought me to tears just seeing the connection with him and his mom it reminds me of me and my mom. Those lyrics hit home too much
I love that he went out of his way to write and perform this while Donda was alive so she could hear it. Too many people wait until someone dies before they realize their value. He showed his Mom how much she meant and she knew it up until her unfortunate passing. That's love. Don't wait for someone to leave. Show them love while they are here.
You're right, and sometimes you show love to them while they're here and they still punch you in the face. Don't mind me, this is my therapy...truth telling whilst agreeing. Kanye was and is truly blessed.
This is why I never turned against Kanye he might be acting crazy but that’s because he needs and misses his mama 😭 I don’t know why people can’t see that! Some people don’t deal with grief properly and it stays with them forever.
Aruk Jvaani stay strong man keep on living and enjoy the time that you have left in this world. the last thing your mom would want from you is to give up
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
@Dear Heart; BEAUTIFUL TRANSLATION. You hit on a lot of points. The Genuine LOVE that is in your heart, shows from your thoughtful comment. I Hope and pray that each day you get stronger & your pain from the loss of your Father eases overtime. Peace & Blessings ❤️

Man it's soo heartbreaking to see him now. No I'm not talking about his political preference I don't care about that shit. He can support whoever he wants to. But he's now a man who's lost in this cruel world. His mom was his guardian. Yes he was a family now but I don't that filled the void in his heart. I hope he gets mentally better
In between graduation and 808s and heartbreaks was Kanye’s mom’s death. You can tell how much he’s still struggling after losing the light of his life. It’s heartbreaking and I hope he’s coping better

@@danieldemaras3099 if this was a first gen copy on VHS it would look better than this. The issue here is digital compression from this coming from one place, then either being uploaded somewhere then downloaded, or just a bad recording setup originally as this was 2005.
This song always makes me think about the connection with my mum, and I always just think my life won’t be the same when she will go, I will very empty. I always tear up when I listen to this, and this is the only song which makes me do that
I don’t know much about Kanye’s mom, but just from seeing how passionate Kanye was live when his mom was watching really makes me understand how her death really devastated him
This song never fails to make me cry. Every single time I play it, the tears start. He loved his mom so much. I can’t imagine how hard his heart shattered when the news broke to him. I keep thinking about my mom and the sacrifices she made for me and my brother. How much I love her and respect her. And this song just turns into this sad reminder that you never know how long you have until they’re gone. RIP Donda West
When somebody who believes in you so much passes away, sometimes it can feel like nobody in the world believes in you. You can tell his mother passing had a huge effect on him creatively and personally, and I truly think this glimpse into his relationship with her is very telling of their bond.
R.I.P Donda West, today marks 11 years forever in our hearts, thank you for being a vessel to one of the greatest artists of all time, look over him and allow him to continue to be an inspiration to many and use his creativity to construct bridges for the world ❤️
My mom has always been my number one, saw her battling an abusive relationship/drug problem/ mental health. Through all of that, no matter what, she gave her kids love, support and comfort. Her and i had a good cry when i showed her this song for the first time. This song describes the love i have for my mom in a way i could never verbalize
Kanye West misses his rock his heart his soul, his MAMA. SmhThe man never recovered, who really do when they lose their life line? Kanye West 2005-2012
I agree Nori is his new reason to smile, but I know he misses Queen Donna as well. His love for his baby girl is beautiful, but also a sons love for his first queen is real.
I agree I think he feels responsible because of the way she died. I also think he's never gotten the proper care to deal with his grief and you see that now in his behavior
This is what i have said forever, it was so unexpected, i am tired of the public ripping this boy, sorry MAn he had us rocking in a time when the world was great, OMG! I am 48 years young and i have never really liked rap like he has had, no degrading kinda sneaky but not obvious crap. This here is a true entertainer, Forget the haters. KAnye your MOM LOVES YOU!

Love you Kanye take good care of yourself, we never know the time or the hour, it hurts like hell, Miss her, i see you do, you gone be good.
Kanye was my superhero as a kid and hes always been and spoke against evil which is rare. Even if we do not share the same faith me and you I accept your differences. We live in a dark evil world my brother and I hope we one day shine the light on the evil that plagues us.

People who hate are just jealous of him and what he has accomplished at a very tender age. Also he's true to himself, what you see is what you get. Kanye you're blessed!!!
When you watch this one and then the immediately watch the Grammy Performance version he did shortly after she passed. Ugh so heart breaking, but beautiful all the same. I'm glad he was always openly expressing his love for her while she was here. ❤️ I pray he finds peace.
this is one of the most emotional songs hes ever made, this is the happiest version bc after she passed theres only sad tearful versions. hey mama and Pinocchio are the saddest songs
What a beautiful song. Beautiful words. Amazing performance. Made his wonderful mother proud like we all dream we could. He did it on TV cemented forever. Respect.

People who hate are just jealous of him and what he has accomplished at a very tender age. Also he's true to himself, what you see is what you get. Kanye you're blessed!!!
As someone who has lost both my parents by the age of 27 and realizing how special mothers can be this definitely touching.
I’m sorry to hear that. I’m 27 now, living alone trying to learn life but every time i need some advice or my spirits lifted I call my mom still.
stay strong man.
That was so beautiful it made me cry....if only that wonderful woman was still alive I think Kanye would be on a different trajectory.
Definitely. Her death changed him, think it broke him 💔
When you watch this one and then the immediately watch the Grammy Performance version he did shortly after she passed. Ugh so heart breaking, but beautiful all the same. I'm glad he was always openly expressing his love for her while she was here. ❤️ I pray he finds peace.
ye is a true artist
Man has a heart of gold. Brings me to tears this performance.
oh my gawwd
shedding tears over this performance
I appreciate all the sweet mamas for all your sacrifices
As a parent, I can only imagine how proud momma must've felt of his son appreciating everything she did for him. This is gold.
my son bought me this cd for this song... one of MY favorite songs!! ty Kanye, I love you and your mother would want you to be happy!!!
This man really expresses from his heart 🙌🏾
Kanye your Mother's smile is a beautiful angel beside God...no pain, no tears surrounded by his love...God Blessings eternal life
Such a beautiful song. Wow, makes my eye water.
this is one of the most emotional songs hes ever made, this is the happiest version bc after she passed theres only sad tearful versions. hey mama and Pinocchio are the saddest songs

This makes me cry like a baby
This makes me cry every time I watch it

Kanye bringing his dad onto the stage at the end just made my day WE LOVE YOU YE RIP DONDA
What a beautiful song. Beautiful words. Amazing performance. Made his wonderful mother proud like we all dream we could. He did it on TV cemented forever. Respect.
