Kanye West Launching “Got Bars” Program For Chicago’s Youth

The Yeezus rapper recently launched Donda’s House, a nonprofit in memory of his mother Dr. Donda West. The organization is joining forces with Chicago’s Ark of St. Sabina for “Got Bars” Music Writing & Fitness Program.

Fellow rapper Rhymefest is the program’s assistant director.

“I am so happy to launch “Got Bars” to honor Kanye West’s mother’s memory and to fulfill one of my Aldermanic campaign goals. “Got Bars” will change our youth musically, get them healthy and keep them busy in a creative, peaceful environment. I know it will be an even stronger program because of our partnership with the ARK of St. Sabina,” said Rhymefest in a press release.

The ARK is a community youth center located on the St. Sabina campus in Chicago. It was created to “nurture and develop the gifts, skills, and spirit of community youth” and to provide a safe environment.

“Got Bars” will service participants between the ages of 15 and 24.

“My mom spent her life as an educator and I am happy that Donda’s House can pick up her torch and honor her life’s mission,” said Kanye West.

Applications are being accepted through Friday, August 2, 2013. Apply on DondasHouse.com.

Kanye West rants "I ain't no motherf*king celebrity"

"One thing about me. I'm the worst kinda, worst kinda, worst kinda celebrity...because all I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real, real sh-t. and that's it. That's motherfu-king it. That's motherfu-king it. So I don't want nobody trying to run up on me with no cameras, trying to sell pictures and sh-t to magazines, asking me no dumbass questions. throwing me off of my focus and sh-t. Harassing you all motherfu-king day. I ain't no motherfu-king celebrity..."

"[I had a friend ask me, 'Are you gonna go on] SNL and you're going to do like a skit about the paparazzi and sh-t and like humanize yourself?' I ain't here to apologize to no motherfu-kers man. It ain't about me humanizing myself. At what point did I become unhuman where I had to turn myself back? Or maybe i was demonized. Or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that kind of situation.

"I ain't no motherfu-king celebrity. I ain't running for office. I ain't kissing nobody's motherfu-king babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and sh-t. I'm trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best they can be. I don't want nobody to ask NOTHING ELSE OF ME. Don't ask nothing else of me. Motherfu-kers chasing you down 'bout to make you crash and sh-t. And all they want is one nigga to laugh and sh-t. Hell nah I ain't doing no motherfu-king SNL skits, this my goddamn life. This ain't no motherfu-king joke. That's it. Stop that sh-t right there."
