biggest question I have with modern Ye is his seemingly constant need for validation. he watched that entire Tucker clip just for a sense of validation. why does he still need it man. his own validation should be all he is looking for.

to me this doc showed exactly why I love him and I hope that some of my friends who don't quite understand my level of devotion can watch this and see him as a flawed and compelling human being who is truly an artistic genius

I've never been the guy to just blindly defend and support everything Kanye says and does but I will always say that I'm never going to turn my back and denounce the man unless he does some truly heinous violent s*** or something. he can say and do things I disagree with and I truly look at it like my own brother did it. which I know is crazy bc I don't know this man but like you his art and his inspiration has done so much for me for over half of my entire lifetime now. I'm not scared to say he's my idol, even though it might sometimes be embarrassing.

yea it seemed like ye was doing on purpose but again he was off the hendawg.

felt like i needed therapy after that episode so i came on here lmao

ill say the third time ye did it, he did it on purpose. in terms of therapy, i lost my mom recently so i get it. that last episode was hard on me

Watching this made me really appreciate how fun the Pablo era. Freshman year of college, seeing the listening party at the theater with my roommate at the time. Good times

If I had to sum up the finale, I guess the way I would is that what does a guy who’s hit the glass ceiling on life itself feel like. Like it seems larger than life and the stakes are constantly life or death in his mind, which can be extremely excruciating I imagine. Especially when he’s not necessarily comfortable or at complete peace with the life he has built around him and hasn’t taken time to ever really let things settle. Life is a nonstop marathon for him, for better or worse. It’s difficult to read into a lot bc we’re only getting glimpses in and out of Kanye’s world in the finale. But it did leave me overall sympathetic for him.

Does seem like being creative is therapy for him and I don’t think that was explored enough in the finale.

For someone who claims he doesn’t care what people think, he very much cares what people think

Lost my dad recently, this one hit hard

Part 3 was the weakest imo, lots of rambling and circling around the same things over and over, though there were some good moments still.

“Modern Ye”

How do you know he wasn’t always searching for validation throughout his career? There may have been plenty of other times, but the fact it was Tucker Carlson made Coodie want to include it.

It’s a human nature thing to seek validation & approval, nothing wrong with that. Everyone wants to fit in

Act 3 unfortunately felt like a true Netflix experience. Overall, great docu series tho. Chike did his thing

i know he's always has. we see it in the early part of Doc with Roc-A-Fella and Jay proving to people he can be a rapper not just producer. and looking for validation is not bad all the time, as you said it's human nature. i think the larger issue is constantly looking for it, and not hearing out the other side that maybe is trying to invalidate you, for good or bad reasons. there are certain points in, i guess you can call it the validation process, where no one but yourself can validate something. you can constantly run to person to person looking for them to agree with and validate your thinking until you find someone that does, but I think often times that is a dangerous game and when one has to reach their own internal point of confirmation, or come to a change of heart.

They say because of the fame & stardom I’m somewhere in between the church & insane asylum - Kanye 2005

Well said

OG i feel like that bangs

Act 3 is sad af
Seeing ye fly to some other state in a middle of a personal crisis just to look at bowls of some random Chinese lady was very weird .

There is still hope for I feel like that making an album one day

Stay strong bro

also having no footage of Be is insane imo

like it made the common reunion not as powerful cause it didn’t cover any of their work together

you negative about everything man lol jeez

he went from being around kanye regularly to no contact for 15 years, he could only 'dress up' what he could cause he didnt have s*** to work with and hardly knows kanye anymore

how you know that?

???

agree, kind of felt like they dragged the mental health stuff just a tad letting some of the clips go on for too long. pacing felt off
