JEEN-YUHS | First Look Clip | Netflix 

The hunger and passion ye had rapping that verse is really inspiring

Two words is one of Ye’s most underrated and under appreciated songs.

You can hear him pouring his energy out until everyone in the room has to stop talking. Just to listen to him. And in the end when he has their attention, he delivers the last line with assurance, knowing he got everyone hooked on every word

Man listening to Kanye rap here gave me chills, it wasn’t even about what he was saying, you can just feel the passion and hunger in his voice…he was coming for the top spot, he knew his turn was up next.

Mos Def’s “Oh Shit” at the end sums it up perfectly.

Everything sounds fun, but don't let this man handle the release date 😭

I would be lying if I said I didn't tear up as ye spit his verse

I pray that everyone that see this becomes successful.

The moment his voice cracked a bit, the shit he was saying made so much sense and the background music slowly kicked in and kept building. What a way to introduce his documentary!!!

This will be a great documentary.

The raw emotion Kanye exudes in his verse is really moving

Kanye is a cornerstone of cultural history. People distracted by his psychotic outbursts can’t see his genius.

Kanye’s energy and drive to be successful was unstoppable then. A near death accident didn’t stop Kanye from rapping & producing. Having his jaw wired shut didn’t stop Kanye from rapping & producing. At certain points in life, peoples drive to achieve something can make them super human... That was Kanye back then. I have found that when people say they miss the old Kanye, I believe this is what they are referencing... They miss the musical drive, determination, focus and fearlessness he had back then. I look forward to watching this documentary.

This clip is insane. Can't wait!

The music added in brought tears to my eyes. It was beautiful, man.

This brought me to tears. growing up kanye’s energy gave me a lot of confidence to be myself growing up. So when he’s rapping here. I felt all of it. Truly an inspirational human. For all the good and the bad. You don’t get a kanye west without all of it.

Aight algorithm... you know what to do here

Learning about Kanye is always fun. Can’t wait for this!!!!

The first episode of the documentary, had me on the verge of tears! Literally just amazing footage! I will always be a Kanye fan! His mother had the most beautiful spirit man! 🙌🏾 A mother’s encouraging words, and faith will always give you that extra push when you feel like giving up!

Dude was in his early 20s in this video. Look at his drive and his commitment, his confidence. He KNEW he was good already he just had to show everyone else. Thats an essential quality for success.

This mans belief in himself is beyond inspiring

the man with the culture in his hands since 2004 . with fashion and music

You can feel he wanted to be acknowledged shit is really inspiring. Literally manifested everything he wanted

Young heads might not realize it now, but Ye’s early raps being on par with Mos’ is a feat in itself. I was a freshman in high school when The College Dropout released and I was telling all of my friends Ye was the next dude. Funny as hell, erratic, made his own beats with super soulful samples, had been making beats for Rocafella for years by that point, could hold his own rapping (and at times out-rapped) Mos, Talib and HOV. Into fashion (I fancied myself a snappy dresser, which was not something all younger dudes were into back then). I had no idea he’d become what we see today. I just thought he was dope.

How crazy is it that Mos Def’a verse is STILL like he wrote it yesterday????

Yaasin Bey should have gotten his flowers when he dropped Black on Both Sides. What a master class of the english language.

MY MAN AVON BARKSDALE IN THE CUT!!

When I heard Kanye's verse, I got swept away by the emotional intensity with which he delivered the line.

A Kanye documentary is so needed from Netflix. The man has already created 12 incredibly different albums in sound, production, and theme, made a popular clothing brand that’s still running to this day, and has influenced an entire generation within music. Even with the amount of controversy and pain Ye’s been through, he’s always come on top. Can’t wait.

How Ye stood up when the camera man thought he was done to turn him back to him is a kind of energy I aspire to have.

Damn just finished the last episode and I’m speechless. Coodie is the most loyal, truthful human. He was here from the beginning a never doubt about Ye, always support him through and out he’s really Kanyes big brother! Much props to Coodie for these unbelievable footages!

When the music started I got chills

Got chills when Yeey started rapping. Felt his spirit!

That instrumental coming in during Ye's verse nearly made me tear up

I dont know how people dont love this man. Hes so fucken authentic. Wouldnt have it any other way!

Goosebumps everytime I watch this clip. So good.

The kind of documentary that would usually be released post-mortem. Where everyone realizes the person was ahead of their time and a once in a lifetime artist. Kanye will be appreciated and studied centuries from now if this civilization survives.

imagine trying to keep this guy as only a producer and not giving him the time of day to release music...and he still does it and changes the face of hiphop forever

This man went from people telling him he can’t do anything to having everything he ever imagined and to inspire a whole generation to be better

I saw the documentary and his mother was definitely his #1 fan. It's amazing seeing a mother root for her son like she did for him. God bless her soul. I miss my mom too.

Mos Def is definitely the most underrated artist of this generation.

LETS GOOOOOOO

You can see on everyone’s faces how truly talented Kanye is. They were taken back. Loss for words.

You can see the hunger and pure raw emotion and every line sounds so genuine and so powerful

"I know I'm the most influential. That TIME cover was just confirmation."

been waiting for this ever since I heard Kim say "he films everything... for a documentary one day"

I literally get goosebumps every time I see this

you know the documentary is gonna be amazing when a 2 minute clip gives you goosebumps…

Kanye always has had been defined by his introspective personality, but that's what I like most about him tbh. We all lose our way on our journey, but when you find your purpose man it is glorious.

Wood Harris just taking in the flows, respect.

I wish he delivered like this on the actual track. Both dope but you can feel it more here.

Gives chills every time

“Everybody wanted to know what I would do if I didn’t win, I guess we’ll never know.”

Best doc of all time incoming, it better not be too short though

Crazy how kids these days don’t even know who Mos Def is

Great documentary. Mos Def supported Kanye when many did not take him seriously as a rapper. Mos is my favorite rapper, there's a gentleness about his demeanor that I find so refreshing. And Kanye's drive and innocence back then really touched me. Coodie did great following his intuition in deciding to film and follow KW and intuition is everything when it comes to art. Inspiring piece of filmmaking!

Words cannot express how much i want this

Mos Def is a legend. That verse is GOATed

Ye has that Southside Chicago grit. This is what makes me appreciate him. He is who he is, no apologies. Fame and fortune doesn’t matter to him...he fly’s economy!

No fr im inspired. This actually was 1 of my favorite parts ..Kanye had a way of making people believe in him the way he did Himself he was really hungry & determined ✨!!! So inspiring to watch

Kanye can really rap, he doesn't need to impress anyone. He's in a league of his own

Kanye has the greatest catalog of music.. literally every album is unique and masterful. I can't think of any other artists that can compete imo.even his Collab albums are classics to me.

I got teared up when this scene came up in the series .. i was thinking how can a so passionate guy with this much talent didn’t getting his shot …. U can see in his flow all that pent up energy….old kanye want to prove himself, u can listen to old songs like ( can’t tell me nothing) n now he is more passionate about fashion design and all that other stuff n I’m so happy for him … that’s a true artist he contributed what he want to weather its producing or rap and now something else he kept creating new levels ..

people dont know how hard it is to remember your whole track WITHOUT the beat

about time Mr. Kanye West gets a documentary about his life

Y'all gotta understand that for many years Ye had to fight for respect as a rapper. He was only looked at as a producer, thats it. They didn't want him to rap. But he kept at it and eventually showed everyone that he was the first REAL producer who could not only rap, but entertain.

The fact people didn’t think Kanye would make it as a rapper during this Ye era is crazy

I just have a different level of respect for this young man! He worked Hard to get everything he has, even when all the doors were closed and not to many people believed in him, he still grinned! His mother spoke so love and encouragement into his life, I wish she was here to see him and to continue encouraging him, I think he needs her now! Great job on this documentary❤️❤️❤️

the verse was sooo crazy

I've seen this several times and I still get goosebumps when Ye comes in.

You can tell this was recorded *BEFORE* his infamous car crash that lead to his hit single “Through the Wire”. The way his facial structure is and his speech. Can’t wait to see how it all ‘falls down’ in the documentary 😁

Kayne will be one of the only celebs I will shed many tears for when its his time...

Surely the album of unreleased songs that was rumoured will release alongside this

One of my favorite eras in hip-hop. Mos and Kanye- just missing Talib

I remember this segment on College Dropout…such passion here..Wood Harris added for effect Mastapiece

I hope to be as passionate in something like Ye was during this moment one day.

5 beats a day for 3 summers

My favorite Kanye song right out of the gate. Mos Def is a master. I'm all in.

This era was so legendary

Wow....as someone who grew up in Chi like Ye, as soon as he started spittin I was smilin enjoyin the freestyle than right at 1:20 I got goosebumps and started to tear up this some real ish !!!

Even without the lyrics and innovation, Kanye was born with a great voice for rap

Can we just step back and reflect on how much of a legend yasiin bey is? Really needed a feature from him on Donda.

the greatest artist we’ll ever live to see.

You can see it, in the early days everybody looked down on this guy. Look at him now. One of the greatest artists of all time.

I've always wondered where that clip of Ye and Mos in the Through The Wire video was from.

Man this documentary bout to be amazing

Amazing will be an understatement for this documentary, I thought I knew who Kanye is until I watched this. We have been "getting to know" him through the eyes of the media and we were sold a dummy. This is a humble guy who struggled to make it, and her mother was a sweet motherly humble woman who was his pillar for sure. This is the Kanye we didn't know at all.I will never look at him the same. INCREDIBLE

been here multiple times

two decades of Kanye’s life this will be amazing

Music documentaries play a very important part in everyone's life. Whether you download them or Netflix them, just make sure to watch them and get inspired.

Mos Def is that man, one of the best ever

respect from Nepal 🇳🇵!!

The best case scenario is that this would end up being a 'The Last Dance' style thing where it's 10 episodes that are each an hour long Edit: apparently it's only gonna be a 3 part series, still better than just 1 episode

*Back when Kanye had that hunger!* The man is a musical genius, can't take that from him.

he’s number 1, and he always will be

I've been wanting an approachable mainstream documentary on this man for years. The average person only forms opinions about Ye through the headlines and tabloids, I really hope this doc gives the insight that shows why we fans really love this man. He's done so much for the culture, fearlessly broke boundaries and evolved sonically.

Flows so good they even got Avon speechless

Cannot Deny The Impact Of This Man On Music, Respect Kayne, Stay Strong

This clip has so much aura bro

I miss Mighty Mos. One of the most naturally gifted MCs to ever grace the mic. Dem Rawkus days was lit.
