Kanye West covers the new issue of Q magazine, and while he talks about life as dad, he also opened up about losing his mother Donda.

In the emotional interview, Kanye reveals that he holds himself accountable for her death, and when asked what in his life he's sacrificed for his massive level of success, he simply said, "My mom."

Donda West died at the age of 58 after suffering complications from plastic surgery, which included liposuction and breast-reduction. "If I had never moved to L.A. she'd be alive," West lamented. "I don't want to go far into it because it will bring me to tears."

But someone who has brought a tremendous amount of joy into his life is his two-year-old daughter North. Kanye and wife Kim Kardashian are expecting a baby boy later this year, and the rapper declares that family is now his biggest priority. "While [Nori's] here in Europe I have to have six hours a day with her because otherwise I'll just work and she'll get scheduled around meetings," he said. "Instead, the meetings get scheduled around her."

Sounds like he's got it figured out!
