May his mom rest in peace 🙏🕊🕊🕊

His mother sounds like she was a powerful lady. That can leave a gap in anyone’s soul. Praying for you Kanye 🙏🏾

Close your eyes for full screen

My mom also past at a young age. I was 15 and she was 56. Thank you for this, Kanye! Especially for doing this publicly for us, because I know you didn't have to. This is not only healing, inspiring, funny and cute but it almost also seems to allow me to keep grieving in a healthy yet powerful way. May peace be with entire West+Kardashian family and everyone reading this. Our Fathers and Mothers are still with us forever

I love that this ends on his mom saying, “What did I teach him? And why Kanye ain’t scared?” That’s powerful

Kanye's mom would have been an incredible motivational speaker with her cadence and voice.

People don't realize, how much Kanye's Donda project is incredible. Rest in Peace Music...

I randomly found this album in a store today. I'm glad I gave it a chance

I used to be a fan but after this masterpiece I’m a whole air conditioner

RIP DONDA

I’m crying. This song is a true masterpiece.

Thanks to Donda for bringing Ye to this world... RIP

I love how experimental he got with this album

people call him crazy and all but the man is hella creative

Idk why this gives me the chills. The piano is so eerie and sets the mood. And the auto tuned Kanye vocals make it even spookier. Such an amazing soundscape he creates.

Kanye is our guy. trust me.

“I asked God to stop feeling pain, and he took my mom away - after that, nothing is painful anymore.” EDIT: Since some of you guys missed the point, this is a direct quote from Kanye West when he was on JRE. He's not blaming God for his.mothers death. Go watch the clip and understand before you say something ignorant.

Lyrics : Forever, yeah Can you hear me? Yeah Forever, yeah Forever, forever, no Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory Glory, glory, glory, glory It feels good to be home And to all of you, I thank you so much for your support For your support of me for so many years And more importantly, for the work you continue to do What do you want me to talk about? Well, he said something that was a little bit dangerous He told me I could talk about anything I wanted to And you know, I am my son's mother The man I describe in the introduction as being so decidedly different My son (When you're runnin' outta timе and you're not outta time) And what made thе project extra special to me is I got a chance to share not only what he has meant to me But what he has meant to a generation (Chase the time) As one writer said, we came from somewhere Not just from the wombs of our mothers and the seeds of our fathers But from a long line of generations who came before us It's the kingdom (Is the kingdom) And the power (And the power) And the glory (And the glory) Forever (Forever) It's the kingdom (Is the kingdom) And the power (And the power) And the glory (And the glory) Forever (Forever) Forever, yeah Forever, yeah Forever, forever, no Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory What did I teach him? (Glory) And why Kanye ain't scared?

Isaiah 66:13 “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” Kanye's love for his mother and Jesus gives him this exceptional strength in everything he do.

I'm so happy that Kanye is back and listening to this song actually put me in tears 😭😭 and you can tell how close Kanye and his mother was and you know how much he loved his mother Donda and when his mother died that was the hardest day as his life but I know he knew that his fans were behind him and may his blessed mother Donda may she rest in peace in the arms of the Lord Jesus Christ and I know she's looking down on Kayne and sending him blessings every single day 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤗🤗❤️

Kanye is back finally

Lil unfortunate that he cut his verse off which he did during the live shows, same for “Never abandon your family”. But it’s aight still best album of the year. It’s all love ❤️‍🔥

This means so much to me. I cry all the time listening to this. I listen 15 times in a row every time I click on this. A mother's unconditional love for her son. Even when we DIE we don't stop loving our children.

I'm not even a huge Kanye Fan but this made me cry immediately

After breakdown: Normal humans : let's focus on something else in life. Kanye : I wanted to change my legal name to YE!

I wish he would've kept this as the first track 😢 this would've been the perfect opener

Lyrics [Intro: Kanye West with Stalone] Forever, yeah Can you hear me? Yeah Forever, yeah Forever, forever, no Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory Glory, glory, glory, glory [Spoken Word: Donda West, Kanye West, Kanye West & Stalone] It feels good to be home And to all of you, I thank you so much for your support For your support of me for so many years And more importantly, for the work you continue to do What do you want me to talk about? Well, he said something that was a little bit dangerous He told me I could talk about anything I wanted to And you know, I am my son's mother The man I describe in the introduction as being so decidedly different My son (When you're runnin' outta timе and you're not outta time) And what made thе project extra special to me is I got a chance to share not only what he has meant to me But what he has meant to a generation (Change the time) As one writer said, we came from somewhere Not just from the wombs of our mothers and the seeds of our fathers But from a long line of generations who came before us [Chorus: The World Famous Tony Williams & Sunday Service Choir] It's the kingdom (It's the kingdom) And the power (And the power) And the glory (And the glory) Forever (Forever) It's the kingdom (It's the kingdom) And the power (And the power) And the glory (And the glory) Forever (Forever) [Outro: Kanye West & Stalone, Donda West] Forever, yeah Forever, yeah Forever, forever, no Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory What did I teach him? (Glory) And why Kanye ain't scared?

Ngl wasn’t expecting it to slap this hard but once again Ye never fails to disappoint and exceed expectations. 🙏🏼

"And why Kanye ain't scared!" Sends chills down my spine. She believed in her son so much.

Kayne put a lot of love, passion and spritual growth into this album. His mother is proud. 🕊

ENHYPEN JAKE BRING ME HERE😭😭

Just finished watching the Netflix documentary. His relationship with his mother is so precious 🤍

"i'd rather deal with the shame than take the weight of the lie" this line is so powerful

i've cried so much listening to this song 😢😢😢 somehow it seems like i can feel his grief and how he misses her... it's beautifully sad... RIP Donda 🙏🏻💙

May his mom rest in eternal peace🙏🕊

I may not like the album, but i respect him for making it about his mother.

This brings me to tears every time. How awesome is it that he has this audio of his mom, just praising him. I am also my sons mother 💜 and I pray when he gets old and grey he remembers the bond we have. 💜 RIP DONDA WEST

i'm inspired to see the beautiful relationship between donda and kanye. pride and support and the power of spoken word.

Kanye's mother energy and spirit is on this whole album. You can feel it on each track what a masterpiece. Rest in Paradise Donda 🙏🏿

This song should’ve been the intro for the entire album.

LE CANTO A LA SANDRA COMO A DONDA

The choir chant is so beautiful and powerful, it sounds like something from The Lion King soundtrack

This album is really special to me. Today, the day the album released I celebrated my 18th birthday. But more importantly this is an album about Kanye’s mom, someone clearly so important to him, and my mom is someone so important to me. Recently she’s been diagnosed with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) she’s extremely weak right now and is almost bed ridden, so in a way this feels like an album for my mom too. Edit: so I came back here after this blew up and I wanted to say thanks for all the support, and to everyone saying the album sucks I completely respect your opinion but I think it’s amazing. Not trying to start anything just wanted to address it.

i feel like this album is a testament to all the mothers that believe in their kids’ talent - donda would have been so proud

Idk why but Donda’s voice goes hard

This is Powerful beyond words and Emotions! Im just honored to walk the earth with this man! 🌎

29/08: Kanye West Donda 30/08: Uncle Noon Shimmy yo

I respect those individuals who respect their mothers, so much respect for you Kanye,She would have loved to hear this masterpiece from you today.May her soul continuously rest in eternal peace🙏❤️

I love this project as a whole. Grateful for Donda

This came out the day my grandmother passed away. Kanye and I have lived a synchronicity not explainable in traditional language. Much love brother.

Man, this hits all of the feelings. Those of us raised by fiercely independent women know. Praise be to God for blessing us with such upbringings.

so emotional rn because Donda would’ve loved this album fr.

I'M HERE BECAUSE OF JAKE😭❤️

okay im listening now bcos of jake :)

Figured I'd share this story thinking some of you will appreciate it... Years ago I went to the X-games right outside Austin, TX at the F1 track... On Saturday Mac Miller opened up for Kanye West on the main stage... TBH I was never a die hard fan of Kanye's music but seeing him perform live really opened my eyes to what a performer he is. First and foremost I want to say Mac Miller killed it and I'll never forget that show (RIP)... The Kanye performance was one of the craziest shows I've ever been to... I've been to some big festivals but I've never seen people go so crazy trying to get a spot where they could get a decent glimpse of the artist (Kanye). The security were completely overrun and there were people literally climbing on bleachers and anything else they could just to see the stage. Despite not even being a big fan of Kanye's music, I will never forget that show.

I especially like the song “Donda”

Felt a deeper emotion hearing this piece of art. Long live forever ❤️

I just love this song.❤️😭 May his mother Rest In Power!!! I know losing your mom is a horrible feeling. 🖤

I wish he kept the version of Donda wit him and Pusha rapping :(

Rest in Paradise to his mother 🕊🕊🕊 and the Album overall despite what anybody has to say it was good

I think this is the most emotional song of the album, its pinnacle

I can only sit with my jaw open at how much I can feel God with me

The fragments of Donda sprinkled throughout this project🕊 May she live on in all our memories. Immortalised through art✨

What kenye jhus taught me is that Everything has got to have a Story behind it...its what makes him truly unique

This album what made me into a hiphop fan. Kanye a fukcing genius man. Ye, Forever

I've always loved Kanye I grown up to his music I don't judge him for anything bad that he has done I just love that his music is always fire and beautiful

Rip kanyes mom rest in peace honestly makes me sad.

*Donda would've been so proud of Ye fr, he really is the GOAT*

His mothers speech just so powerful

“Time will not slow down when something unpleasant lies ahead.”

Kanye's lil chuckle at 51 seconds gets me every time. Lol. R.I.P Ms. Donda West

should have been the intro for the album. no child left behind good as a finale.

Donda West was such an amazing and supportive person. She loved kanye so much and was so supportive of his music career. Rest In Peace Donda West. You will never be forgotten❤️

this song is absolutely chilling

rest in peace Donda!!

This gave me chills.. I miss my mom already. Mom love is the ultimate I support this ❤

Just leaving my comment to be part of this historic album

Enhypen Jake brought me here !!

Lost my grandma in 2020 to cancer and I miss her a lot, when I listen to this in some way I feel closer to her and she’s watching over me.

Such an empowering speech by DONDA. Brings me to tears every time I hear her

Donda is a cultural album while Certified Lover Boy is just an album. Big respect to Kanye be YE

She is resting in peace now she did what she came here to do,shes a mother,we are here to go forth be fruitful and multiply.

It sucks people are coming to this song to base their opinion of the album off of, it’s literally a interlude lol 😂

May his mother Rest In Peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Much love to him and his family 💗💗💗💗 What a amazing and powerful song 💕💕💕💕 Truly beautiful 💓💓💓💓

Simply Emotional listening because this Is His Mother! Who means more to us than Ma. Continue to Rest Eternally Ms Donda🙏🏾🤞🏾🖤

I'm the first to arrive ENGENESSSS😭❤️❤️❤️

i’m sorry for your loss ye

This is such a great song and I love it so much.... Rest in peace Donda let you spirit fly high. ❤️✨🕊️

I feel so bad for him losing his mother, moms are awesome and go through lots of pain for us, we take having them close to us for granted, but please love your moms bcuz the day will come when they're not w us nomo and we're gonna get to the point were we would give anything to have only a couple more seconds w our beautiful mothers.

This is a MASTERPIECE !!!!!

"and you know I am my son's mother". So much love in one line

This is finna be nostalgic in 10 years.

Not crying while listening and reading the comments.. thank you Kanye for this beautiful album

Kanye's music has the ability to lift your spirits

doooooooooooooooooooooooooonda

This doesn't sound like a song, the best I can describe it is its more of a eulogy, which is fine but it should be at the start or the end of the album to give the greatest effect.

I can only imagine how he's feeling. When will complete peace of mind return? When will this enlightenment come and last? Such is life. Kanye West. Your mom's in a better place.

Kanye made me love and appreciate my mom more

I love this

I love you Kanye, you are a ultra talented man and your mother would be very very proud of you. Peace and blessings, Kanye
