    Man that pissed me off when they mentioned his mom. These mofos act like they knew his mother or something. Them asking about her was like them saying his mother who is now dead didn’t raise him right, Did they ask about what his dad would think? NO. If that wasn’t a low blow I don’t know what is.

    I think it was sincere and i think that he realizes that alot of people are tired of his outbursts and acting like this. He might have realized that this could really hurt him in the end who knows. I’m sure Jay Leno knew the topic of his mom was a touchy issue and i am sure someone probably talked to him ahead of time to get the go to speak about his mom and ask the question. And no it doesn’t reflect that Leno thinks he wasn’t raised right. I mean he was very close to his mother and i’m sure she probably wouldn’t of found it acceptable either.

    Kanye, was very sincere he carries alot of hurt and pain. I believe God is working on him and he will be alright. Taking a little time off from the world is a good thing. If you love yourself you can live by yourself. Im a mother and Pray that my children and grandchilren remember my words when Im gone. If there is ever anything I can do you Kanye Im here for you. May god keep you safe from all harm and remember your mom is always there its okay to sit back and talk to her its ok.

    Sincerely always,
    Sher`ron in Dallas, Texas

    I KNEW IT WOULDN’T BE LONG BEFORE SOMEONE BROUGHT IT UP TO HIM ABOUT HOW HIS MOTHER MIGHT FEEL ABOUT THE SITUATION..J.LENO MIGHT’VE STEPPED ON KANYE’S TOES A LITTLE WITH THAT ONE, BUT ITS AN HONEST QUESTION. I THINK YE’ DOES NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF TO DEAL WITH HIS HURT AND PAIN..BCUZ LIKE HIM I’M AN ONLY CHILD AS WELL AND WHEN YOU’RE AN ONLY CHILD WITH NO BROTHER’S OR SISTER’S TO LEAN ON..JUST YOURSELF LOSING YOUR MOM TAKES A WHOLE DIFFERENT TOLL ON YOU. HE’S BEEN ACTING VERY UNRULY LATELY..HE NEEDS TIME TO SIT BACK AND HEAL…I’LL SAY A PRAYER FOR MY BROTHER.

    I must say, the “apology” seemed genuine, and I base that on his body language and humble tone of voice. The fact he made little direct eye contact could have been a show of contrition, fueled by an overwhelming sense of embarrassment. I commend him(as I’m NOT one of his biggest fans, by FAR!)for exhibiting some fortitude by making this public apology on a venue that would be seen by many, and hope he keeps his word about his wanting to make an “in-person” apology to Ms.Swift.He is also correct in realizing he needs to take time away from the business and spotlight so that he may address his grief for the loss of his beloved mom, who so obviously meant the world to him. I figured, upon hearing of his latest gaffe, if someone, especially someone close to him, personally or professionally, were to mention or ask how his mom would have felt, his walls would come a-tumblin’ down, and he would get honest.

    Mr. West, take the time you need to properly address, and exorcise, your personal demons and profound sense of loss. The business, the stardom, the adoration, adulation,and praise from fans and peers, the success you want so badly…will STILL be there!You’ll probably earn even MORE respect from all, should you return a more kinder, thoughtful, and most importantly, HUMBLE and GRATEFUL, man…for you are FIRST a man, a child of God and a wonderful mother, THEN you are an artist!! Never,EVER..forget that!! Take time for yourself to refocus on what’s important…

    In closing, I thought apology was sincere….or a performance worthy of an Academy Award!

    We shall see which,in time, huh?….

    My do some of ya folks take up for a grown man like Kanye. He lives in the world of media an high life, so hes bound to be scrutinized for inapropriate actions:;an what he did was exactly that. The man is always bringing some form of attention to himself be it negative or positive. He will always have fans He will always have hater. Im neither, just like his music.

    Kanye West’s evasive behavior was inexcusable. It is bad enough that black men have to deal with the preconceived notions that we are complaining, lazy, violent and irresponsible. Kanye West and many other rappers just add fuel to the wrong fire. Black men must condemn Kanye West for his behavior. Apology not accepted. We cannot promote that kind of behavior. The president was right for calling West a jackass. Kanye encroached on Taylor Swift.

    As an educated black man who has dealt with the worse kind of discrimination I am angry with Kanye West. Those of us who have jobs and have to work for our living don’t have the luxury of shooting our chops because we have to deal with the haters on a daily basis. We don’t need white people or any other race thinking that we black people are inherently violent.

    Kanye West is a jackass and a bonehead.

    Is Kanye sleeping with Beyonce? Why does he feel he needs to protect her honor? Why couldn’t he let JayZ do it– if at all! I have a different take: I think Kanye is straight kissin’ JayZ’s ASS! I think he wanted to be the vocal representative for JayZ in jumping up to honor Beyonce! (He’s brown nosing.) Her video is S**T anyway! Dancing half naked shaking her ‘t**t’ all over the screen talking about “All the SINGLE LADIES”. I’m single and SHE DOESN’T SPEAK FOR ME! She’s dangerous! She promotes and sells the “W***e Archetype” to little girls, teens, Young Adults, and women telling the WORLD that we should be flinging our butts in men’s faces if we want to get married. I’m tired of her, and her tired Red w**rish looking dress. Neckline below her breasts and hem lime way up to almost her ‘business’. It’s a sad irresponsible thing she’s been doing ever since she went solo. IT’S TIME TO EXIT STAGE RIGHT, BEYONCE! I don’t buy NONE of your music or listen to you. You stand for nothing in my book–Not even a classy person!

    We still got Troops over in Iraq that hasn’t seen their Family in Yrs. have lost their body parts(and that’s being swept under the rug) Paris Hilton did stupid s**t all the time(and it being swept under the rug) , and the world still love her..They Actually gave her, her own reality show, and McDonald Commercial..Bush didn’t give a f**k about the Hurricane Katrina situation and that was BIIIIIIIIIGGGG(and that’s being swept under the rug)..Ex-President Bill Clinton smoked weed and got head in the White House and that was swept under the Rug. So why when you get the Chris Brown or Kanye West’s that sumtimes makes mistakes because they’re Human..The World hang them..And the Mutha F**ka that should still be on Blast is Ex-President George Bush..I like to say I’m a fan of Kanye’s..He did this before and he said it’s all in entertainment..If people have nothing to talk about U would be a fade in the past..I don’t agree with with he did, even though it is true..But he shouldn’t have did it that way..But get off his back World he made a mistake..And I’m sure he realizes now DAM..And leave Chris Brown Alone too and lets Worry about getting our Troops out of Iraq and helping rebuild Katrina..

    Hands down, nothing sums this Kanye argument up better than this dude http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAvkAZw-4jA

    I feel he is very sincere. What comes from the heart reaches the heart. Kanye is just crazy just like ALL true artists. They all got something crazy about them. In a little while we will see Taylor crazy side. I don’t think he meant any harm. Once, he won an award and gave credit to Outcast. I think he is a stand-up guy. He made a mistake. He wasn’t thinking. He probably was high. I was high when I was watching it. So high I thought I was losing my mind and I know his green is better than mine. White men have done things worse to young black girls and it didn’t cause this much ruckus. Get over it. It’s over. She’ll win more.

    I think that he is just going through a season. He’s good at what he does, and everyone is prone too make a mistake and regret it later. The loss of his mom has taken a toll on him. I dont think he has taken time to mourn. I think once he gets back he will blow it up. One big ego doesnt make a bad person. Much love to ya!
