For Everyone that hates on Kanye West
« on: January 05, 2006, 12:05:22 AM »
hey mama off of late registration has to be one of the best songs ive heard in the longest time.  i been listnein to this song so much lately and its real good.  got some real meaning and he pours his heart into this track.  when i listen to it i feel like it was written for me and my mom.  for you westcoast fans that like 2pac dear mama, which i love also, gotta hear this track its right there with it.


"Hey Mama"

[Chorus]
(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 "You, Are So Beautiful To Me"
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)

[Chorus (with variations)]

It is a great song. I've been feeling Addiction lately too. By 2005 standards, Kanye has one of the best hip hop albums out right now.

Dude's ego makes me wanna hate him and his music though.

Kanye is a very smart.

His marketing makes him like the Muhammad Ali of Hio-Hop right now. People hated Ali, but they still paid to see him box. People hate on Kanye, but he puts out classic CDs so people will buy it, hoping they can diss it. Kanye still ends up rich. Very smart.

He barely broke even with this album, if he even did. Ali was the biggest draw of his time moneywise, Kanye is nowhere near the most bought artist. I always questioned how legit some of Ali's matches were but I never questioned hid ability to make more money than anyone else. And people didn't hate him all that much. They liked to watch him play the pro wrestler in boxing. It was fun. Every 60+ year old I talk to says he was very popular and not very hated. The booing in the Listin matches were more about everyone thinking they were fixed rather than hating Ali. Kanye sucks at music in my opinion and he doesn't make all that much money. It just seems that way because of the hype.

I liked Hey Mama better off the advance too)kanye always changes his songs too much), the new one seems too busy.  Musically, it is very impressive though.

I don't really get how people hate on Kanye's music though..............the guy puts TIME AND EFFORT into his music, something very few rappers try to do.  He PUSHES THE ENVELOPE, does not rap about the same tired ass shit, and experiments with different sounds, etc. 

He had much success with College Dropout, but didn't do a carbon copy even though it would have sold a couple million guaranteed. 

And who gives a fuck if he is gay or not? Speaking out against homophobia does not make someone gay, nor does dressing up once in awhile.  Besides, WHY DO YA"LL CARE HOW SOMEONE DRESSES OR ACTS ANYWAY, its just music!!!

And SHALLOW, WHO THE FUCK CARES IF KANYE MAKES MONEY OR NOT???  The fact that he was willing to spend 3 million on an album, or that he produced his own THorugh the Wire video when noone believed in him should tell you he's about the art and making quality music, not money.  Besides, the fact that his record label (GOOD MUSIC) is nominated for 20 GRAMMIES should bring in a little money, as well as all the other joints he does for artists.  You realize artists don't make their money off cd's. but off touring........and have you any idea how successful the "tough the sky" tour was.............

I can see how people could not feel kanye's music, but calling him gay, saying he has not talent is ridiculous.  He is one of the best overall artists in hiphop and has succeeded despite being a little different, and its pretty hard to deny his influence on the game.............
