Kanye West, 'Roses' - It's no secret that Yeezy adores the women in his life. The passionate track "Roses" provided yet another example of that love as he pays homage to his grandma, who at the time was hospitalized.  Kanye: "When they said that she made it / You see they eyes gleam / I think we at an all time high...Cause with my family we know where home is /And so instead of sending flowers, we're the roses."

Big Sean, 'One Man Can Change the World' - When the rapper first burst onto the scene, his unwavering love for his grams was duly noted. She's since passed away, but the big homie said this on the track "One Man Can Change the World," " My grandma told me if you write your name in stone, you'll never get the white out / I grinded out that black hole then performed up at the White House."

He raps, "Yeah, and in the name of Evelyn Sher / I’ll forever forgive anybody that never was there / For me, no other woman could ever compare / My angel, I hope heaven’s prepared for whenever you there."
