This documentary was brilliant. It makes me wish I would have saved all my old camcorder tapes from high school and into my early 20s. I love the moments they captured with Donda and Kanye, so beautiful
Same! When he said he has dreams and aspirations that hit hard. I am realizing I am not living to my full potential. My family tell me all the time I have great ideas, I just don't execute them. It's now or never.
I sincerely love and appreciate everything these brothers from the midwest have accomplished. Salute to Coodie, Chike, Deon Cole and Ye for providing light and love through these decades.
Coodie is good friend!!! Chi Town y'all better represent!!! I remember the Cotton Club and "Go Getters"... Yeah... This was seriously dope, good job brothers. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Coodie saw Kanye differently, that's why when Kanye felt like he was drifting from his truth & losing his vision or sanity he'd call on Coodie even after shunning him out a few times
ok they started out selling a dream but by 8:42 got to the TRUTH🕯 There is no Ye without Ms. Donda. Her scenes are my absolute my favs!! I love the way she says Kanye (i hear "I Love Kanye" from TLOP every time she says her son's name🥰) I love that you can hear her hyping him both on and off camera since he was a little boy. Ms. Donda built his confidence and bought his equipment❤️🖤💚 So many parents limit their children with their fears or don't have the resources to pour into their dreams.
THANK YOU ALL FOR SUCHA EPIC DOCUMENTARY. SO PROUD EXCITED TO SEE AMAZING GRACE AND MERCY. U DID IT MEN !!!! PRAISES UP TO "MRS., DR. MOTHER DONDA WEST !!!"
My dad says this all the time. He believed he could do anything, be anybody, and beat anybody because his mama instilled it in him. He told me he was a little guy, but he had a lot of might because his mama nicknamed him Hercules, she told him he was strong and brave. Lol that name stuck till this day people call him Hercky. I am so proud of him he is getting his PhD. Man, my father treasures that woman dearly. I don't think a day goes by he doesn't mention his mother and the other strong Black Women that raised his (his grandmother, great grandmother and the neighborhood mothers).
This documentary brings me to tears every time I watch it. I had the vision and I’m sitting on the side lines. Watching people steal my vision. I will stand up for myself even if god won’t. I never spoke like this but the more I watch. The more I hear I’m like I prayed I cried out for help and know one will help me or save me. So that’s just leaves me I will show the world what I’m meant for. I wish document would have came out sooner. But everything happens for a reason so they say. With that being said. Uzi Carti trippie I’m coming for them motherfucking belts. Then I’m moving up and taking the weekend belt too. That is all
I feel like I'm entering my own "performing all falls down to blank stares era" I've ranked up in my craft heavy. So many insecure posing people around intimidated. You're in a different place when being quiet, and killing it, makes everyone upset. Push through.
Archived footage? Incredible. Watching Kanye make College Dropout? Incredible. Donda? INCREDIBLE woman. The documentary as a whole? Imagine removing the studio footage and what you are left with is nearly unwatchable fragments and the slow decline of an extremely unhealthy person. It's astounding to me how fanboys are willing to do mental gymnastics in awe of their favorite artist as opposed to realizing the documentary was in reality surface intellect, messy, and ultimately aborted itself at the end with no real take-away besides that Coodie feels helpless. Coodie's voiceovers were monotone and uninspired. He said nothing impactful, nothing quotable, and only served to tell us factual timeline events. His introspection was not remotely fascinating. The reason you feel uninterested in his family segments are because he has no real take about his own life or Kanye's, the audience can barely empathize. Act 3 was a true tragedy. A bipolar man, having multiple manic episodes (anyone who knows bipolar people would recognize this immediately), in need of severe help and the same grounding that Donda warned about, surrounded by yes men spouting middle-school rants with Coodie conveying to the viewer his friend had changed, that he felt uncomfortable, and ultimately did nothing to challenge him and went with "Praise God" and roll credits. A total, saddening copout, clearly vetted and check-marked by Kanye. Coming from a faith based family, this was as shallow as it can be, and not rooted in any moral compass. Donda herself would be disappointed in this ultimate take and the amount of producers, friends, and artists who aren't offering her son the same kind of advice and support that she did. Truly, a terrible film. Again, so thankful for the FOOTAGE Coodie took. That is the gold. The rest? Nonsense.
DISAGREE with your HARSH critique oprinions of AWARD WINNING DOCUMENTARY "Jeen Yus" KANYE WEST DOCUMENTARY. Your pesimist perspectives are toxic, degrading, devaluing. How dare you call these AWARD WINNING GREAT DIRECTORS PRODUCERS CREATORS 'fanboys". you sound JEALOUS ENVIUS straight UP VENOMOUS.. you called the documentary SURFACE INTELLECT, MESS6 PROJECTED your feeling about yourself onto COODIE ., youre feeling helpless, uninspired, and unimpactful, unquotable, unfascinating, uninteresting, truly tragic. YOU ARE ALL THESE THINGS your projectecd upon THE GREAT REMARKABLE FILM DIRECTOR COODIE. SIMMONS. YOUR LABELS of KANYE as a bipolar man. . you use the label as an arrow thinking youre hurtung YE'S feelings. YOUR TYPES weaponize the labels to hurt people . Dr. DONDA WEST didnt warn KANYE she admired and advised him that his GREAT GIANT GENIUS is an AURA seen by WORLD although he may in his serenity and solitude , still aspire higher , as he LEVITATES and HOVERS ABOVE OVER ALL...and grounded grace at same time. THATS BEING IN TWO BI POLARITIES at same time. Attempt to diagnose , demonize, discredit, devalue him is what some low lifes do. THEY ARE REJECTED REBUKED . . KANYE is a person whose DIVINE HIGH SELF CONFIDENCE only makes perpetual low self confidence & esteem cause under achievers with no apirations or ambitions uncomfortable, with OTHER PEOPLES SUCCESS. yet if a peron is ENERGIZED INSPIRED by SUCCE§TORIES, thats who will ENJOY seeing this DYNAMIC DOCUMENTARY. SO CLEARLY, THIS DOCUMENTARY isnt for someone like yourself. you are a hater.. COODIE KANYE DONDA CHIKE' are INNOVATORS & MOTIVATORS . YES, Coodie noticed his friend changed , people change. Friends go and grow and flow. YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT of having a 'FAKE BASED FAMILY or a "FAITH BASED FAMILY" isnt a testament to FAITH USING your own words: YOU ARE AS SHALLOW AS CAN BE. NOT ROOTED IN ANY MORAL COMPASS. AT ALL. YOU MAY NOT SAY WHAT DONDA WOULD BE ,because YOURE an evil, doubt filled PERSON spreading more doubt & NEGATIVITY. LET HER SON and people who ADORN, ADMIRE, and ENCOURAGE her son, may only SAY HOW HE THINKS HIS MOTHER WOULD FEEL ABOUT this INCREDIBLE DOCUMENTARY. SURE SHE IS SMILING QUITE SATISFIED.. EVERYDAY is a NEW BEGINNING. THE BEST IS YET TO COME. YOUR not in POWER position to say what producers , friends , artists, did or didnt do to encourage motivate inspire KANYE, regardless how many may have tried , nothing like a MOTHERS UNCONDITIONAL LASTING LOV. You dont know what people do behind scenes off camera life. THe part 3 was 2020 , KANYE was married , away from friends and SUPERNATURAL support teams. so YOUR CRITIQUE of others not supporting him as his mother did is ludicrs. NO ONE CAN EVER DO AS MUCH AS HIS MOTHER. IMPOSSIBLE. THAT WOULD, TAKE A MIRACLE. THE ENEMY always want to ENTER their OPPONENTS MINDS to get inside and disect their ANCIENT AKASHIK VIBES. DISECT THEIR DNA. SO THEY ASSIGN LABELS TO JUSTIFY their MAD SCIENTIST, FRANKENSTEIN, DR.JEKYL, MR.HYDE prescriptions, pokes and prods. SOME OF YE's closest friends like COODIE may not have always hav had access to YE, as film describes, so layoff with allthe criticism of the film ...WHERES YOUR FILM MOVIE DOCUMENTARY. OTHERS DOING NOTHING complaining about THESE BROTHERS REMARKABLE DETERMINATION AND DILIGENCE to ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS DREAMS. SOME CLOSE LOVING FRIENDS FAMILY, may not have had ACCESS to MR.WEST. EVERYONE LOVES, SUPPORTS & ADVISE KANYE as much as opportunity allows, many send PRAISES UP ABOVE. HE KNOWS who HONORS CHERISHES APPRECIATES him and vice versa, who he will listen to who listens and respect him also. Ultimately, theres no one who can love a persons sons or daughters, the way their MOTHERS & FATHERS do . UNCONDITIONAL SINCERE.
You can be the giant without becoming the giant. It means staying grounded, don’t loose yourself. Everyone will the superstar but you see yourself as a human being.
I definitely miss the old Kanye the one who was engaged to Alexis Pfeiffer I don't know who this lunatic is but watching the documentary made me sad because it was like a throwback to a Kanye that doesn't exist anymore
This documentary brought Donda back to life and into our hearts.
This doc is timeless and will be enjoyed for generations for real. I hope Netflix has timed exclusivity because it should be on all platforms.
This documentary was brilliant. It makes me wish I would have saved all my old camcorder tapes from high school and into my early 20s. I love the moments they captured with Donda and Kanye, so beautiful
This film is so inspiring I wake up everyday thinking about it and think to myself what’s my next move in life.
Same! When he said he has dreams and aspirations that hit hard. I am realizing I am not living to my full potential. My family tell me all the time I have great ideas, I just don't execute them. It's now or never.
I sincerely love and appreciate everything these brothers from the midwest have accomplished. Salute to Coodie, Chike, Deon Cole and Ye for providing light and love through these decades.
I hope this doc wins every award ! Magnificent !
If everyone had a mom like Donda life would be amazing a lot of things make sense
Kanye is a product of unconditional love and support.
Coodie is good friend!!! Chi Town y'all better represent!!! I remember the Cotton Club and "Go Getters"... Yeah... This was seriously dope, good job brothers. Thanks for the nostalgia.
This one of those documentaries that you can watch over and over again; similar to “The Last Dance!”
Coodie saw Kanye differently, that's why when Kanye felt like he was drifting from his truth & losing his vision or sanity he'd call on Coodie even after shunning him out a few times
To The INCREDIBLE person watching this…I wish You the absolute BEST! Keep pushing, AND focus on you…may 2022 BE GOOD TO YOU ❤️❤️❤️
Amen 🙏🏾
❤️
I loved every moment of this. Especially the scenes with Ms.Donda. Absolutely beautiful moments. 💚💚💚💚😪😪😪
Everyone deserves a Donda West in their life!
Already got One, My Beautiful Mother
I have one , didn't know how rare it was. My aunt
And a Coodie who also believes in you. Coodie is definitely Kanye’s’ brother from another mother’
Unfortunately, he does not treat women that look like his mother with respect.
💯
Coodie has such a nice smile. 😍
That last scene with Kanye passing his mom with the New Years celebration
😞😔
Beautiful. 20 years documenting?! Inspiring 🙏
ok they started out selling a dream but by 8:42 got to the TRUTH🕯 There is no Ye without Ms. Donda. Her scenes are my absolute my favs!! I love the way she says Kanye (i hear "I Love Kanye" from TLOP every time she says her son's name🥰) I love that you can hear her hyping him both on and off camera since he was a little boy. Ms. Donda built his confidence and bought his equipment❤️🖤💚 So many parents limit their children with their fears or don't have the resources to pour into their dreams.
Agree I'd loved to have a mom like her Kanye was very lucky to have that kind of unconditional love and support
Great comment
One of the best docs in the last decade
THANK YOU ALL FOR SUCHA EPIC DOCUMENTARY. SO PROUD EXCITED TO SEE AMAZING GRACE AND MERCY. U DID IT MEN !!!! PRAISES UP TO "MRS., DR. MOTHER DONDA WEST !!!"
Man this documentary was so inspirational, I feel like there's nothing I can't do! Watch Out world, I'm coming!!!💋
Amazing job done by these guys. Beautiful, raw, amazing!
i will never forget that quote 10:16 she had so much wisodm
That giant line from Donda reminds me of the song Pinocchio story. “I turn on the tv, and see me, and see nothing” - 808’s and Heartbreak
Coodie said, "I do it way better"! LOL I love this.
I wish I had Donda in my life. She was magic. Wow. Black women are the back bone of our everything. Thanks to the women who lifted me up.
My dad says this all the time. He believed he could do anything, be anybody, and beat anybody because his mama instilled it in him. He told me he was a little guy, but he had a lot of might because his mama nicknamed him Hercules, she told him he was strong and brave. Lol that name stuck till this day people call him Hercky. I am so proud of him he is getting his PhD. Man, my father treasures that woman dearly. I don't think a day goes by he doesn't mention his mother and the other strong Black Women that raised his (his grandmother, great grandmother and the neighborhood mothers).
Can’t wait to see what’s next
Beautiful sit down between Chicago legends ❣️👌🏼🙏🏼
Best documentary of this type ive seen
‘The giant looks in the mirror and sees nothing’ - DW
LOVE THIS
Dope!! Talk about foresight 😇😇
Thank you for this.
Emotions 💜
When my mom passed Kanye’s music & whataburger where the ones there for me
Great to see brown Angel babies - Gods! Still watching!
Chike sounds like Jay-z
Agree although his voice is a bit deeper than Jay Z s
I was thinking the same thing xx
This documentary brings me to tears every time I watch it. I had the vision and I’m sitting on the side lines. Watching people steal my vision. I will stand up for myself even if god won’t. I never spoke like this but the more I watch. The more I hear I’m like I prayed I cried out for help and know one will help me or save me.

Uzi Carti trippie I’m coming for them motherfucking belts. Then I’m moving up and taking the weekend belt too. That is all
Just think if we ALL had a Donda West type of mother in our lives!!!
Jeen yuhs
Chi Town stand up! ⬆️ 👍🏾
Coodie you let God guide you and look at the Fruit and God has more in store for you my Brother
The giant looks in the mirror and see's nothing! Powerful
Donda knew every word😖
Your life finna change right now!
2022 IS MY ROTY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! ❤️😈🤷🏽♂️🚀
WOW.
I feel like I'm entering my own "performing all falls down to blank stares era"
I've ranked up in my craft heavy.
So many insecure posing people around intimidated.
You're in a different place when being quiet, and killing it, makes everyone upset.
Push through.
9:20 the giant looks in the mirror and sees nothing" wow and she just silent stares at him like how he stares at other people so he can reflect
Donda 💓 what a soul
Don't loose your self.
"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children" -William Makepeace Thackeray
RIP Donda west 🙏 😢 💔
The first half was the best part and the he blew up and after losing his mom it got weird
I always knew Kanye mom was important to him, but damn Donda passing away broke him, hopefully we start to see the real Kanye soon.
6:32 he sounds like Jay Z
why did ye diss coodie im still tryna figure the back story out
They left off Twista's feature on Slow Jamz....
Dame dash bought him equipmemt, now he makes more money than Jayz

What does that mean a giant looks in the mirror and sees nothing
Quote refers to the soul. The giant alone but everyone sees the giant
You can be the giant without becoming the giant. It means staying grounded, don’t loose yourself. Everyone will the superstar but you see yourself as a human being.
@@KarimKarim-xy9py perfectly said.
I’m first
This makes me miss Humble Kanye so much. Stalker Jeen-Yuhs gotta go fr...
Humble Kanye is in there, just being drowned out by his sickness more than ever now a days 😰
Kanye was an awesome artist. Then he got weird and here we are today.
alot of artists are weird, but they still create amazing things
He never got Weird
Kanye new shit still fire crazy that he’s this old and still connects with the kids
hes the same person he always was, watch his documentary.
I definitely miss the old Kanye the one who was engaged to Alexis Pfeiffer I don't know who this lunatic is but watching the documentary made me sad because it was like a throwback to a Kanye that doesn't exist anymore
I’m first
