@mrhighfoster Thank you for this . Kanye really does not get enough praise. Especially from the black community.
Arguable the best black male figure of the generation . Sue me
Kanye West is 48 years old
Youngest son Psalm's name draws from the Book of Psalms in the Bible, celebrating him as a blessing
In 2015, the family traveled to Jerusalem to baptize North West
His daughter Chicago is named after Kanye's hometown
Kanye personally chose son Saint's name for its spiritual significance
North West's name means "highest point"
Kim said she and Kanye saw her as their peak together
Kanye himself, wrote poetry starting at age 5 and began rapping in third grade
As a kid in China (where his mom taught), Kanye made local kids trade sheep skewers just to watch him breakdance
He dropped out of college but once worked as a telemarketer to pay his mom $200 monthly rent
As a kid, Kanye programmed a video game in seventh grade
Kanye and Kim reportedly owned multiple Burger King franchises in Europe at one point
The family made random, hilarious surprise appearances together in Nickelodeon comedy skits tied to the Kids' Choice Awards
North West has shown her dad's outspoken side, leading to funny parenting moments like Kim correcting her on asking fans for money
Kanye's mother, Donda passed away on November 10, 2007 at age 58 from complications following cosmetic surgery
Her death led to the "Donda West Law" in California, requiring medical clearances before certain procedures
She loved watching Kanye perform and was his biggest fan in the early days
Kanye named his 10th album Donda in her honor and included her voice clips and speeches on it
Kanye has expressed wanting his Yeezy brand to one day be passed down as a family legacy to his kids

The most recent and obvious shift that we all witnessed in Kanye West's journey is the intentionality of spirituality.
And I guess that's what he brought unto his latest show performance.
From all what we've seen above, you'd understand why Kanye @kanyewest doesn't really care much about what people think, and just focuses intensely on his family and his brand.
With a deep connection to his mother, you'd realise why he is very particular about his children.
Yunno.... The bonding, the public appearances, the whole "I'm doing this for the legacy building"
And I think it's pretty cool

As a person, I think the biggest feel of accomplishment is building something that generations after you, would want to attach themselves to it's meaning, purpose and legacy.
It's the highest feel a person can get
And certainly one of the most (if not the most) fulfilling things you can do while on Earth
