FACEBOOKLike it or not, Hip hop today is an incredible force upon American youth and even beyond on a global level. Hip hop and rap has created entirely new industries such as the hip hop jewelry genre, upgraded the look of the common drinking cup to the majestic looking pimp cups, has virtually created a new and expanding language, and have even affected the automotive industry with such bold customizations as large spinning bling bling wheels and transformed fashion and clothing in an unprecedented way and so much more. Hip hop is no doubt way more influential and powerful than rock and roll ever was. We are talking about a phenomenon that is breaking down the old cultural mindsets, one Kanye West at a time. Word to your mother.

Kanye West gave an emotional tribute to his mother Donda at the Vorst Nationaal in Brussels Sunday.
"There's nothing that she loved more than to come to the show and scream louder than any fan," he told a cheering audience. "She was my first fan that was screaming before anyone else....
"If she was here, she would tell me, 'Get on that stage and kill it, dawg!'" he said. "That was her favorite word: 'dawg.'"
He also hinted that he will persevere through the hardship and continue touring.
"She would tell me, 'Take over the world and be No. 1 like I taught you to be,'" West said of his mom.
Then before a woman began performing the Journey ballad, "Don't Stop Believing," West said, "I wanna dedicate this to my mother because of the words, the lyrics ... It says what she would want me to do, and that's to not stop believing."

... okay, I don't really understand what all the fuss is about with these comments.
So to get back on topic, I think Kanye's mom's death was extremely depressing -- not only for him, but for me as well, because who knows when my own mom will kick the bucket? But it's great to see that he's being so strong about it, I only wish I had that kind of perseverence.
RIP, Ms. West. :[

~~~~~~~~
Intro
[Beyonce, (Jennifer) you could do so much better.]
you say that he's wrong
you say that he's no good
leave him alone cuz he's gonna hurt you
but what they don't know is how he makes me feel
you say that he creeps
always runnin' the streets
he's playing the game
and he'll never love me
you say that he's fake but why does it feel so real
no matter what you say i ain't goin no where
no matter what you think i'ma always be there
the love that we share it lives inside of me
no matter what you hear it's all in the past
no matter what you feelin this love is gone last
the heart of his soul it breathes inside of me
My man, he makes me feel so special
My man, he makes me feel so precious
My man, he makes me feel wonderful
My man, with him I'm so comfortable
My man, he makes me feel so special
My man, he makes me feel so precious
My man, he makes me feel wonderful
He's thugged out but he's my man
you say you don't trust em
because he been locked up
you say that he trouble cuz he out in the strip club
but you were young once so you should understand
you say that you know
so you been a witness
you say it's foshow
say he got a mistress
until you can show me i'm gone stand by him
no matter what you say i ain't goin no where
no matter what you think i gon always be there
the love that we share it lives inside of me
no matter what you hear it is all in the past
no matter what you feelin this love is gone last
the heart of his soul it breathes inside of me
My man, he makes me feel so special
My man, he makes me feel so precious
My man, he makes me feel wonderful
My man, with him I'm so comfortable
My man, he makes me feel so special
My man, he makes me feel so precious
My man, he makes me feel wonderful
He's thugged out but he's my man

FLASHBACK FROM JANUARY:
3:31 PM Jennifer Says:
Alright, I have yet to tell you that the stuff indicating these two has yet to stop. And let me put down the fact they do not look cute together, I bring up the oppiset fact. I just want to let you all know of this: There is no sexy, there is no perfect, but what there is is theres unique. This is what were setting as our future! Thats the way I see it! There isnt proof of that Jeter left a club with a group of woman. People are treating him like a cheater and a jerk and that follows behind his baseball career, and thats what hes becoming famous for. Remember that. People should treat people for who they are, not what they've got. And that TRUE fact comes from my heart.
Anonymous Says:
I don't know about the previous four post, but I hear hooked on phonics works. Your typing is atrocious. At any rate, I'm also commenting on the poster who mentioned that Jeter is a HO. I ditto that statement and no being single, famous and wealthy does not give you an automatic F card! Then again, a lot of these athletes are like this so to talk about Jeter means that I should be dogging at least 50% of the baseball/football/basketball+ players out there......................(to be continued
