LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kanye West told an audience at a screening of his film, "Runaway," that he thought about killing himself, but now feels a responsibility to make a meaningful contribution to pop culture and art.
Describing himself as a pop icon and "soldier for culture," West told the crowd "there were times that I contemplated suicide." However, he said, "I will not give up on life again."
"There's so many people that will never get the chance to have their voice heard" as loudly as his, West said Monday. "I do it for them."
West, who didn't say when he had considered suicide...

There’s always time to reconsider you low-life thug media whore!
a metaphysical impossibility
I suppose he considered sticking his head in the oven when he learned that “George Bush Don’t Like Black People”.
Then he learned he had an electric oven.
Wait, what?

Not AP.

“Imma let you finish”
One in the same?
SO?
While suicide is a personal tragedy, it certainly isn’t a national one.
May his efforts succeed!
Getty image restrictions????
Kanye is such a mensch.
Mazel Tov!
Putz.
His suicidal thoughts may have been grief over his mother’s unexpected death from cosmetic surgery procedures.

Who is Kanye West?
Generally I’m not one who cares too much about the personal life or politics of the musicians and actors whose work I enjoy, but Kanye is an exception. Despite not liking rap in general, I liked his stuff for the most part, but he has become too annoying to like it.
LOL!
Did he say when he would start making this meaningful contribution?
I didn’t know Beyonce not winning an MTV award would affect
him so much?
