Watch a Young Kanye West Rapping with His Mother

Kanye West‘s deep adoration and indebtedness to his mother Dr. Donda West is well known among all his loyal fans. From his new creative agency named after her, to music constantly dedicated to her, Kanye is not afraid to let the world know of his profound love for his mother.

Taken from an MTV special chronicling the production of Late Registration, the heartwarming video shows Kanye conversing with his mom and rapping the album’s “Hey Mama.” Enjoy the footage above which briefly shows the meaningful relationship between the rapper and his mother.
