jeen-yuhs: La trilogie Kanye West

The boy Coodie did this documentary justice! Brilliant depiction of his childhood friend...the God MC, Kanye West! Despite all his trials and tribulations that play out in the public eye, this doc reminded me of how nice Kanye is on the mic as well as on the beats! His conviction of his own abilities was apparent from day one! Even when no one at the Roc took him seriously, he proved his greatness. Bravo!

This film is incredible, and for anyone who is even aware of Kanye West, this is a must see. The first "act" in this trilogy paints a portrait of a man certain of his stardom, desperately searching for someone willing to open the door for him. Kanye wasn't an industry plant. In fact, this documentary shows that nearly everyone in the industry was perfectly content with him sitting on the sidelines. No one wanted to give him a record deal. Even through rejection though, Kanye never stopped believing that he was destined for greatness. With the support of his mother, a few friends, and his own ego, we watch Ye carve a place for himself in music history. For any artist trying to break through into any industry, this is documentary is truly inspiring.

Kanye West is an enigma. Whether you're a fan of his music or not, "Jeen-Yuhs" is bound to resonate with almost everyone. It's about a man who's so adept at his craft, and ahead of his game, that the world has a hard time catching up to his sheer determination to succeed and his ability to rewrite the rules of the rap-game in early 2000's New York. It reads like a heroes journey, but it feels grounded and thoughtful, familiar yet absurd. The genius of this man, and his struggles to succeed is just so well told. Also, this is one spectacularly edited documentary, with some top-notch direction. I love this series.

I'm amazed that after all this time and knowing the stories of the start of his career, someone was actually documented it all. If your a fan of him from early on you'll love this.

Extremely well told story. Now, that's a documentary mannnn . Incredible. Insightful. Eye-opening. Both in terms of what I learned about Kanye and his thoughts, most important about God, but also how Coodie told this story and put together a documentary. This will all contribute to my story and story telling abilities.

It's a beautifully told story about the up-and-coming of Kanye as a Producer as well as a Rapper. It's the first 'Coodie ' project I've seen but it's obvious he is a master storyteller and a great filmmaker. ( Also his voice is dope, Morgan Freeman Vibes) It is shown multiple times in the docu that despite his immense talent Kanye had to fight for what he accomplised believing in himself when nobody else did except his mama. <3 Pumped to see the finale in a few days !
