| well done for having the balls to say something like this kanye, proved once again you are a class above the rest (i know 2pac did a song called "dear mama", but he was equally fantastic) | |

| This a beautiful heart-felt song and probably one of the best in the album Heck even Kanye sings! (And doesn't do a bad job I must say.) But this is the "meaningful" track of this album (just like College Dropout/Jesus Walks). By listening to the nice chorus, his deep lyrics, and the sentimental music in the backround, you truly feel his love for his caring mother. | |

| Even though many rappers write songs about their mommas (Tupac, Ghostface Killah, brand nubian, jay z) kanye has a way of making this the great. | |

| Since nobdy commented on this song for a long period of time, let me get the last words: This song can make an axe murderer shed tears thinking about his mother. | |

| I agree with you guys, this song is beautiful, kanye can pull off differnt songs, and still shine, you hear something like this, and then something like "Get em high" or "Crack music" This just shows how much of a genius this artist is | |
