Jeen-Juhs: A Kanye Trilogy

The first two parts which focus around Kanye making The College Dropout are electric. There's lot of amazing candid footage, and it's incredible seeing how much work went into that masterpiece. The final part changes the tone and depicts the troubles Kanye's been having recently. It's raw and honest. You see him in the middle of manic episodes and it's disturbing.

It's pretty great overall if you're even a little bit interested in Kanye. It seems mostly honest in it's depiction, and it's interesting seeing small quirks present at the beginning of his career take him over. There's a lot of talk about God and Christianity, especially towards the end, which can get off-putting if you're not religious.

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.

I must say, when I first heard about this docuseries, I thought to myself, "yet another puff piece". But I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was put together. How well the struggle was captured, and how the world got to see a side of Kanye that many have chosen to ignore, the musical genius.

I have renewed respect for the man, even though I knew of his accolades in the music production scene, I get it now.

A very well put together documentary that shows how and where it all begun, and progressed. I encourage everyone to watch this, despite of your feelings about Kanye.

Last but not least, this highlights my take and passion for something I feel doesn't get enough attention, mental health.

I am not a hip hop nor rap fan and what I've known of Kayne West was mostly from the news. This documentary shows a young man trying to fulfill his dreams and a sweet supportive mom who was inspiring him all the way through. It brought a new perspective regarding Kayne West. It is a nice documentary.

For all his flaws Kanye is an interesting individual. This is Coodies love letter to a friend, turned icon. By sheer force of will he created himself in the image of the greatest men who have lived, and Coodie was along for the ride to capture the humanity of it all. It's a very moving documentary. Because of Coodies heart and friendship, you feel the intensity of being present but not reaching the man who would be king in the last film. It's very impactful, heartful and beautiful, no matter of your a fan of the individual in front of the camera or not.
