Who favorited?Donda West Update, Kanye Issues Statement
by on November 13th, 2007
According to TMZ.com, Donda West visited a plastic surgeon a few weeks prior to her death who refused to perform procedures on her due to a health condition that may have resulted in a heart attack.
Reportedly, Beverly Hills physician, Dr. Andre Aboolian, was set to perform a tummy tuck as well as a breast reduction on Ms. West, however he informed her that first she needed clearance from an internist whom he recommended. Apparently, Ms.West never visited that doctor, and had the procedures performed elsewhere.
According to reports, Ms. West called 911 on the night of her death. Reportedly, at 7:35 PM on Saturday evening, paramedics responded to a 911 call and took Ms. West to nearby Centinela Freeman Hospital in Marina del Rey. They said it was a "sick person call."
A hospital spokesperson reported to TMZ that West was brought to their ER around 8:00 PM Saturday night. They attempted to resuscitate her but unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. She was oficially pronounced dead around 8:30 PM the same night.
The following statement was released by Kanye's Camp Monday evening:
“Kanye West, his family and friends would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country since the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.
After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country.
The first and signature initiative of the Kanye West Foundation is Loop Dreams. Designed to capitalize on students existing interest in hip-hop, Loop Dreams challenges students to learn more about what’s behind hip-hop culture in order to help them develop skills, express themselves creatively and be empowered.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West’s name to the Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute.”

Terrible things are gonna happen to you in your lifetime and you gonna deserve em all.
Now:
The album is no excuse for them to use it. If you allow it to be an excuse you are falling for their mind games. In which case that would make you…well…an idiot. In your example if you accept that persons explination of why they said Nigger youd have to be one. Only a fool would believe that a white person who says nigger is saying it cuz of rap music or Nas’ album and we should not let anyone get away with using that excuse.
I want the ones who say it secretly to come out and let it be known who they are. I want black people to begin to get over the word and understand that its just a fuckin word and cannot stop or hinder you from doing anything you set out to do. An yes im a motha fuckin stand up guy my nigga!

You soft dude.
If your mom died the same way in a Dr’s chair knowing that the procedure may have killed her, who would u be mad at? The Dr, or your dead mom, or would u say if she had listen she would have still been there?
