"But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I'll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture."
-- Hip-hop superstar Kanye West on posing nude. (Vibe)

This young man seems to be still suffering an enormous amount of pain, likely residual grief in the startling passing of his mother. Indifference, lack of feelings and the resulting problems therein greatly increase his difficulty in seeing such actions in the right prospective. We should pray for understanding always.

He needs our prayers. There is a word call respect for your self. when you lose respect for yourself as a man, you have lost it all.

mmphsmary7q your are very kind, but Kanye West was a narcissist and an egomaniac while his mother was alive. He obviously has problems to the point where he is a little scary and un-nevering. The young man is definitely in need of some mental help.
