Kanye West's Mother Passes Away
Chart-topping rapper Kanye West suffered a tragic blow last night as his beloved mother Donda passed away following complications related to a cosmetic surgery procedure. Our hearts go out to Kanye during this trying time - hopefully he's able to recover from his loss quickly and resume his incredible string of successes soon!
As inappropriate as it may be for our thoughts to be turning to Kanye's music, our minds can't help but return to Late Registration's "Hey Mama" and "Roses" - two of the most devastatingly personal songs about loving your family to appear on a record (rap or otherwise) in years. They're certainly even more personal now!
