But the stuff about the directors dad and his kid just felt narcissistic.
Kanye is the biggest artist of his generation and for the director to push his own story so much into the documentary just felt cringe

I think he was showing himself instilling the values and confidence he's learned from his experiences and Kanye into his daughter. Coodie saw Donda put in up front and personal life defining values into her son and he's doing that for his daughter. It was a nice touch imo

I felt like it was him showing how he reconnected with Kanye after a long ass time and how much both of their lives changed.

Cyhi’s face when Ye asked the crowd if he delivered on TLOP

i was wrong about kanye not changing and always being the same

docu is coodies life filming ye

damn that convo with those 3 white guys is f***ing scary

rick ruben wanna lay on kanye couches so bad

why kanye react like that when coodie tried to speak to kanye pops

kanye is crazier than i realized

I didn't really get what he was saying

only thing i caught was him being deadpool

kanye's switch from the first 2 eps to the third is insane and sad

this s*** a masterpiece

Episode 3 gives me a lot to process that was different from my initial views of Kanye's approach to things.

It's actually a pretty sad finale.

I also noticed he gets annoyed about people interrupting him

Finale was very unsettling.

This was unbelievably sad to watch. I don’t care what anyone says this third part is quite literal proof that Kanye has never been the same since he lost his mom

Bro if it wasn’t for Coodie you wouldn’t have seen any of this. He gave up a good part of his life to bless people with this footage. I think it’s a little egregious to be mad at the 15 minutes total he spent talking about his family throughout these three acts

such a terrible take

Didn’t mind the coodie scenes at all because it’s needed to contextualize the director’s role and presence in Kanye’s career and makes the viewer more at peace that this isn’t an agenda driven or spin piece. He is a friend and early believer and by the end is concerned for his friend.

Knowing who coodie is allows you to view the film like it’s a family member who’s capturing this footage.

It’s not a bio doc by any means but it’s one of the most intimate documentaries I’ve seen since Hoop Dreams.

i'm not gonna sit here and act like i know ye more than coodie, because i don't. but coodie said it himself. he knew kanye but not yeezy

i think the first 2 episodes gave sort of an objective take on ye with coodie filming him and us getting a glimpse of who he was straight from the horses mouth. the 3rd episode was coodie attempting to understand ye and communicate that to the audience. it's his perspective of present-day ye. he was only with him a handful of times post-TLOP era. He was in SF to look at pottery, in Cody for a couple days, and in the DR. i think the 2007 and onward story of kanye west could be told a lot better. but it was a great series and i'd recommend it to friends

We need a season 2. Hopefully Ye, realizes the power and the impact of this doc.

This was beautiful

Good documentary. I loved that this was all told through Coodie’s perspective. I love that he gave us life updates of his own also, just showing us how his life changed but his heart still longed for that connection with Kanye. It’s understandable. His life changed forever because of him and every time they linked after they initially drifted apart, it probably felt like a break from his own life for a moment. Entering a new world for days, maybe weeks at a time, and then falling back into whatever his daily routine was. Probably living off the rush of whatever that experience was like until it was time to do it again. I’m sure it felt even more surreal being around Kanye the more time was in between them, just reading and watching Kanye’s life unfold in the media and then suddenly sitting across from him. Guy lived a great life: a normal one and flashes of otherworldly experiences because of his friend that just so happened to become a music legend. Really powerful stuff to me
