  • Donda West by: M.J. Rosenberg

    Donda West

    by: M.J. Rosenberg


    My kids are both hip hop aficionados and have been since they were small kids (they are both adults now) so maybe that explains how badly I feel about the death of Kanye West's mother.

    Kanye is one of the real good guys in the rap world, managing to become one of the top two or three rap artists in the world without indulging in paeans to violence, guns, and too much emphasis on bling.

    To me, he always seems like a sweet kid playing the role of tough guy, and not that convincingly. A subtext to the Kanye West story has always been his relationship with his mom, Dr. Donda West, who died at 58 the other day after minor surgery. She was a professor who gave up her career to manage her son's.

    At the time of her passing, she was involved in pretty much every aspect of his life and career. Of course, prior to Kanye's rise, she was a single mom balancing family and job and successful at both. Kanye West not only owes his life and success to his mother but he let the world know it at every opportunity (one of his biggest hits is a tribute to her).

    Like Elvis Presley, Kanye was almost over-the-top as a loving son -- which hopefully gives him some comfort now. She sure knew how he felt about her.
    But Donda West was about more than being Kanye's mother. Her passing reminds us of the amazing accomplishments of African-American women.


    Slavery may be ancient history for some of but for African-Americans, it is yesterday. It was only a half dozen generations ago that African-American men, women and children were sold on the auction block.

    Beyond all its other horrors, slavery by definition destroyed the family. How can family exist when its individual members are bought at sold. What authority can parents have when they themselves are chattel? And slavery (unlike virtually every other horror of modern history) was no passing thing. It lasted 250 years in this country, certainly long enough to eradicate the black family as an institution.

    In fact, African-Americans were slaves on this continent for about a hundred years longer than they have been free. Imagine. And yet African-Americans (like the Jews, another miserably oppressed group) have managed not only to survive but to pretty much define American culture.

    So many of the good things this country represents to young people around the world comes from the African American community. And that is thanks to women like Donda West who, somehow, managed to build great and strong families despite the residual effects of slavery, racism, poverty and all the ugliness white America has inflicted on black America.

    As I said, I feel terrible about a good kid like Kanye losing his mother. But, as an American, I am grateful to her and to all the other women like her. I hope Kanye West survives this loss. I know he will because of what his mom taught him and his faith. But he is also blessed because he can recall his mother without guilt. He never missed an opportunity to tell her not only that he loved her but that he owed her everything. A good lesson for us all.

    Lyrics to Hey Mama By Kanye West

    Hey Mama), I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I'm so proud of you. Let me tell you what I'm about to do, (Hey Mama)

    I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin back to school
    I appreciate what you allowed for me
    I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama)

    [Verse 1]I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine
    This little light of mine and I'm finna let it shine
    I'm finna take yall back to them better times
    I'm finna talk about my mama if yall don't mind
    I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi
    Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
    You fixed me up something that was good for my soul
    Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?
    You work late nights just to keep on the lights
    Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
    And you would give anything in this world
    Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn't give me a curl
    And you never put no man over me
    And I love you for that mommy cant you see?
    Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes
    Cuz a nigga cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry
    As we knelt on the kitchen floor
    I said mommy Imma love you till you don't hurt no more
    And when I'm older, you aint gotta work no more
    And Imma get you that mansion that we couldn't afford
    See you're, unbreakable, unmistakable
    Highly capable, lady that's makin loot
    A livin legend too, just look at what heaven do
    Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)

    Chorus]

    [Verse 2]
    Forrest Gump mama said, life is like a box of chocolates
    My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate
    Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with
    But still supported me when I did the opposite
    Now I feel like it's things I gotta get
    Things I gotta do, just to prove to you
    You was getting through, can the choir please
    Give me a verse of â€--You, Are So Beautiful To Meâ€?
    Can't you see, you're like a book of poetry
    Maya Angelou, Nicky Giovanni, turn one page and there's my mommy
    Come on mommy just dance wit me, let the whole world see your dancing feet
    Now when I say Hey, yall say Mama, now everybody answer me (Hey Mama)

    Chorus]

    Bridge]
    I guess it also depends tho, if my ends low
    Second they get up you gon get that Benzo
    Tint the windows, ride around the city and let ya friends know (Hey Mama)



    Verse 3]
    Tell your job you gotta fake em out
    Since you brought me in this world, let me take you out
    To a restaurant, upper echelon
    Imma get you a jag, whatever else you want
    Just tell me what kind of S-Type Donda West like?
    Tell me the perfect color so I make it just right
    It don't gotta be Mother's Day, or your birthday
    For me to just call and say (Hey Mama)

ME AND BIGGEST GORD and YEAR ROUND RECORDS will release the NYGz("WELCOME 2 G-DOM") which by the way will be available on CD, DOUBLE-VINYL, and 12'inch Single….We keep it true to our Vinyl Collectors who think that all labels have abandoned them due to the uprising of Digital Formats(SERATO,iPODS,CDJ's,etc) but NOOOO!

    We don't get down like that …Me being the purist that I am, I still go to FAT BEATS, BIG CITY RECORDS,A-1,TSL,TURNTABLE LAB,and if you ever go to LA, you gotta go to AMOEBA)…I COULD SET UP A SLEEPING BAG THERE AND DIGG FOR DAYS WITHOUT EVEN TAKIN A SHOWER…CUZ IM DIRTY……………….

    Movin' On……I must again apologize for takin' so long to respond to all of your friend requests and e-mails, but as always, I have another EXCUSE…

    I have been in the studio hard body having surgery with the beats so that you the consumer can be excited about looking forward to spending your money on QUALITY MUSIC AGAIN !!! Also, I hired an assistant to help me cut down on me takin' so long with all this music….Believe it or not, I never had an assistant in my entire career and let me tell ya…..You get the right one workin' for you, and everything seems to run like new…Big Up to my new assistant Jeff—(aka-"GEMCRATES")…..This dude is a DJ,makes beats,and knows HIP-HOP inside and out….i am so blessed to have him in my life to add on to the rise of our TEAM WIN…..

    BIG UP TO TRAFFIC for distributing this Album….Now just so you all understand..this is the PRE-ALBUM before the official LP which I will fully produce(PROS N CONS)….due early 2008…..Next Up will be BLAQ POET from QUEENSBRIDGE…I know I have said it before but He is the Hardest MC out right now !!! I am not bullshittin'!!! He is the Hardest !!! he will be dropping a Pre-Album I am releasing (called the BLAQ-PRINT) which we will finish in about a week from now….It features all of the rare songs that set his career into the 21st Century and man do we have some Heat for the Streets !!! I will never let my fans down on anything that comes out from YEAR ROUND RECORDS and WORKS OF MART….I will retire before I ruin the Culture…..

    Also I wanna Welcome to the YEAR ROUND RECORDS FAMILY from HOUSTON,TEXAS….KHALEEL….I had to get a true rapper from my original hometown, and he is it….Shout out to TREY, and HL ROCK for the hook-up….

    His album will be finished in about a month and it is a BANGER !!! NICKY JAVAS is on the way….Matter of fact….dont forget, if you have SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO(or know someone who does) check out me and my CO-HOST BIG SHUG every Friday night (12midnite-2am EST) on HIP HOP NATION

    Which is CHANNEL 40…We are the only ones who are truly Breakin' records on the Underground the Right Way…NO ONE IS DOIN IT LIKE US !!! Also, i will finally be goin' in with TEF and M.O.P. to finish his loooooong awaited album(CONTRABAND) which I have been producing for quite a while, but hey, when it is right, THEN IT IS READY….and WELCOME HOME ROYCE da 5'9"…..I have 3 songs left and then we will release his album that I am Executive Producing (Plus 6 premier joints on that one)…
