Kanye West Foundation

[xzibit]

am i too cynical thinking this is just another vehicle to help kanye's self promotion?

The mission of Kanye West Foundation is to partner with schools and communities to provide underprivileged youth access to music production and creative arts programs that will help them to unleash their creative ability and reach their intellectual and emotional potential. We believe that investing in America’s youth will help create a world society that is healthy and just for all.

he probably just said: here is 2 million dollar.. bring my name in the publicity.
then he shows up 2 times a year and hes a hero :S

Funny listening to one of his CDs now- been on a bit 'Ye kick. Nah it isn't a promotion- probably a narcissism thing though.

all celebs are interested in one thing and that's feeding their enormous egos.

Just googling it -it is now the Dr Donda West Foundation, in honour of his mother.

The bizarre bit is that it is promoting education - .

Call me naive, but I disagree that celebrities are only innerested in their own egos.

I suppose to some extent they are doing it for publicity and an ego trip but in the end if money goes to where it is needed then thats all that matters I guess.

I personally think it's a good idea - especially promoting education. A basic education is quite possibly THE most important thing in life!! I think this should be applauded & encouraged rather than knocking it.
We have a habbit of knocking celebs when they try & help - even if it is for promotion!! There are too many celebs who don't do a thing - I'd say get them to do something first before attacking those that make an effort.
I'm with Trigger - we always think celebs do stuff for promotion but could it not be that 'some' do it because they actually want to make a difference? (I said SOME!).

[Triggernomics]

CD - I'm with ya; big ups for someone promoting education. Just ironic is doing is all.

All Depends What Type Of Education. Inculcation Into The Kanye Invert-racism Education?
