(ThyBlackMan.com) Okay, he is at it again. Kanye West even got the President to say some things about his off kilter rants and stunts that he has pulled over the past few years. I always believed that he would be bigger than Jay-Z, but I was wrong. Kanye West still has a lot of growing up to do. Sometimes, I sit and think, had his mother still been alive today, would he be involved in some of the fiascos that have taken place in his life just to amass wealth and fame? I thought that he would have taken a moment to reflect from his past to see where he was going in the future—when she died. I guess Sankofa is not for everybody.
I just read that he is now dating Kim Kardashian, as though that is really something to write about as a journalist. I think that they actually deserve each other. There has never been a more controversial star and contradictive to say the least when thinking of the legacy of West. Yes, he is brilliant, and one of the greatest producers in the 21st century—but he lacks common sense. This is the reason that he has so many complaints from people and backlashes thrown at his way. I believe that Kanye West truly lost it psychologically when his mother died. Not to mention, he broke up with the love of his life a year later. Then to think that something would last with Amber Rose, took me aback—way back.
Kanye West’ behavior needs to be assessed professionally by a therapist. Someone needs to sit down and listen to this young man. And, he needs to be forthcoming about all of the pain, hurt, and anger that he has harbored over the years. It is one thing to be talented, and another to be talented and destructive. Over the years, Kanye West has had success that some rappers and producers only can dream about. I believe that he needs to wake up and realize it before he ends up like his mother. In addition, no one can say that he does not love his people. We all witnessed Kanye speaking out against the atrocity that happened to African Americans during Katrina. Still, it can be said that despite what he has done right, all of his wrongs have overshadowed the good.
This can only mean one thing, Kanye West, needs to be honest with the mirror that he looks at each morning. He needs to be thankful for what has been bestowed upon his life, and realize that it did not have to be this way and can be taken away at any second. In like manner, the rapper could still be in Chicago, only known locally, and wishing that Jay-Z would call for a track. I only hope as a fan of his music, that Kanye West realizes that life is only given once. You will be judged by your actions, not by how many records you have sold, and whom you have worked with. In the eyes of GOD, none of that matters.

If we really appreciate Kanye for the genius he is, shouldn’t we at least recognize the correlation with erratic behavior shown by a great many number of gifted artists throughout history? That understood, let’s hope he is not exploited by the parasitic and shallow baseless media whores around him, lately at least.
Totally disagree with you. Who are we to judge Kanye? Kanye has every right in the world be who he is just as you and I are who we are. Who he dates who he likes what he says is what makes him Kanye. I like the dude. Love him or find somebody else to talk about.
Kanye is without doubt the most misunderstood musician at this present time. Yes, he’s arrogant; who wouldn’t be as the man with the most number of Grammy’s in the past decade. Yet the media, you included it would seem, vilify him on the basis of one incident in which he interrupted taylor swift; he didn’t kill anyone, he just spoke his mind; distastefully no doubt. What makes him need “therapy”? The fact that he’s going out with a very attractive celebrity now? Perhaps if the media gave him a break you’d see he’s not as bad as you make him out to be.
Jesus! You need to give Kanye a break. I believe his mother was his world and he is still adjusting to living without her. What Kanye really needs is love. It is a very long process when you lose someone you love. It’s as if you have to find your way in the world. It’s like walking in the dark, but the sun is shining. I lost my mom and my best friend. I know what it feels like and everything feels like it’s new, as though I am just experiencing it for the first time. All of a sudden all that you cherished vanished and you are standing there all alone in this big old cruel world trying to figure out who to trust or which direction to go. With that being said,I believe that Kanye is misunderstood more than anything else. Let’s have some compassion for Kanye, because God knows, I need some!
