fr man

this gonna get the Jordan Doco treatment and I'm here for it

What’s crazy to me is that kanye got slapped around for so long before getting a record deal. I was always under the impression that jay z had signed him after he worked on the blueprint. I didn’t realize there was that much back and forth.

Just got done and wow this is even better than I hoped Coodie is amazing for holding on to all of this footage. Ye really accomplished everything he said he would. It’s so f***ing inspiring bro ye truly is the goat

Him and his mother’s playful banter over the phrase… “I’m good”

Donda was an angel on Earth

His mother suggesting he had an “angel looking over him”

Coodie going back to his childhood crib, looking at old photos of his and essentially realizing his destiny was always to be a photographer for kanye

So many moments in this documentary where kanye was not only prophetic in the many things he’d say, but so much foreshadowing happening all around him. Seriously, this first episode was a masterpiece and this is coming from somebody who loves his music but who also f***ing hates him to the core

I feel like it’s worth much more

how do you hate someone you’ve never met lol. assuming you’ve never met kanye

This was so good oh my god. Coodie killed it

Scarface part is confusing. Not sure if he really liked what he heard or not lol

s*** crazy lmao. even the beat alone would’ve had my face scrunched up in that b****

dude, I’m not about to sit here and argue about the rationality behind my hatred of kanye west lol the doc was great and made me appreciate him and his legacy in spite of that

him showing everyone All Falls Down kinda broke me bro lol

nah hov wanted him to make beats and thats it, stifled him for a long time

This was even better than I expected damn

was wondering the same. was hard to tell if he just wasn’t showing his enthusiasm for it or if he thought it was wack

Just watched the first part this was so good man I can't wait for the other 2 parts

I get the sense he felt like it was amazing but out of his wheelhouse

One thing you gotta remember is he wasn’t gonna be as used to the camera as Ye so could have been acting different cause he’s on film. I know I would.

…right

I took a whole class on creative nonfiction writing from an author who has his own wiki page. He told me once that any good nonfiction piece that isn’t just a dry report/news/essay/etc needs to be about the author to an extent, at least through their relationship to the subject they’re writing about. It’s what gives it perspective and meaning as opposed to being something with no soul. This doc seems to be following the same principle
