G.O.O.D. Music‘s John Legend recently talked about his longtime mentor Kanye West and his recent hospitalization. In the crooner’s perspective, Yeezus is much more than a regular artist.

In a new interview, JL discussed how much of an impact Kanye has on the music biz and globe.

“This is a very difficult life and a difficult business. I don’t want to try to play pop psychologist, so I’m not gonna try to analyze what’s happening with him. I just want him to do whatever he needs to do to feel better and to feel like he’s ready to go again, because music needs him. The world needs him. I think he’s such an important talent. We need him at full strength. How do you balance everything you do – acting, producing, music, fatherhood?” (Rolling Stone)

Recent reports revealed Kanye had been recovering from his hospitalization by clocking in ample gym time.

Kanye’s workouts are with celeb trainer Don Brooks — who’s also worked with Kim, Kourtney and Khloe — and they include resistance training with bands, jump rope and some one-on-one bball. Each session can last up to 2 hours … switching between ‘Ye’s home gym and local spots. We’re told Kanye’s been “very present” with Kim and the kids and a big part of that is working out his frustrations in the weight room. (TMZ)

Earlier this week, Kanye treated Twitter followers to a holiday picture of himself and wife Kim Kardashian.

  1. I hate that the world wont allow kanye to be more than music…yes he makes great music but as an artist its important not to box him in…or dismiss his goals for our personal need for his music…Strippers are loved and well paid but who says thats their first love or only dream
