On Trump, 'Jeen-Yuhs' Director Breaks With Kanye; Talks Drive, Talent & The Retainers With Ari

- From rebuking Pres. Bush over Hurrican Katrina, to backing Pres. Trump, to mounting his own brief run for President, Ye (formerly Kanye West) has made himself a controversial, unavoidable part of American politics, music, culture, fashion, social media, and business for decades. Two of his oldest collaborators and friends, Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah, explain their belief and fascination in the artist and billionaire entrepreneur Ye -- even amidst some disagreements over politics, values, and business -- as they unveil one of the most unusual, long-running documentaries ever made, Netflix's "jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy." The new film draws on hundreds of hours of previously unseen footage, 20 years in the making, which began when Simmons decided to devote years to filming a then-unknown music producer. In one of the most extensive, in-depth interviews about the project, Simmons and Ozah talk with MSNBC anchor and music obsessive Ari Melber about Ye; his relationship with them, other artists and his mother Donda - whom they knew well; the complex backstory of the project; the racial dynamics that Ye faced in the industry; their discussions about Drake narrating the film; how anyone can tap the lessons of passion and a "genius" mindset; and, on a lighter note, the way a young Ye's retainers figured into his early years. Ye is a complex artist and person who has proven controversial, maddening, gifted, and inspiring to so many people around the world. This digital exclusive interview explores some of the reasons for that, with people who have studied his life and work, with excerpts also airing on MSNBC's The Beat.

I LOVE how his MOM could recite Kanyes rhymes. Mom truly supported his dream.
His mom jeez get over it . He probably talked her into the plastic surgery .
@@tinpanalley5856 no he didn’t, his mom wanted it
@@chrism7163 either way hes a no talent freak
The way his mother was so encouraging and supportive in such a nonjudgmental way was beautiful. She was his biggest fan.
That's so special what a saint
I love how Ari loves and respects the culture. I think it’s always a beautiful thing for him to uplift black creators!!! ❤️❤️
He should do a show, podcast or something based on the culture.. I’d prefer him over Vlad, Ari is genuine where as I feel Vlad is a vulture
@@workoutwarrior3118 i agree. He really lights up when he interviews people from the culture. I love that about him.
Yup
It's funny sometimes because I would watch Ari he would start using rap lyrics to get his point across!!!!
@@blacprophet1153 yes! He ALWAYS references hip hop music! ♥️
I love that Ari did this interview, he’s definitely a connoisseur of the culture.. he should do a show based of hip hop, I’d rather him do it than Vlad..
Like Vlad or not you can't front on him, Vlad been Frontline on hiphop for over 2 decades....
@@Forever.Remain.Nameless agreed, but he’s a hypocrite.. and that’s what I don’t like about him.. he uses and manipulates people on his platform
@@workoutwarrior3118 hypocrite? how?
Dear Ari,
Your interaction during this interview is priceless. I didn't want the interview to end. You're awesome! Thank you
Ari doing these segments just shows how much he loves hip hop and is interested in the culture surrounding the art and the artists.
Ari is genuine. Love him. Coodi & Chike, y'all are the real deal. Bless up
What a refreshing "gentleman's" dialog.
Respectful, informed and on point.
Well done.
Congrats to Cuddie & Chike! I am a Kanye fan!
Love how confident Kanye is and his overall belief in himself! ❤️❤️❤️
Great Interview Ari!
I just watched the first episode of "jeen- yus" yesterday and I loved it. I loved his mother's presence. Im far from a superfan of Ye but I've always respected his hustle and his talent.
Watch episode 2...this guy is a true genius!!!!
Just saw the first part of Jeen Yuhs. Directors Coodie and Chike captured amazing moments of Kanye and other hip hop artists and rappers in the making, moments you'll never see anywhere or hear about. Kudos 👏 to them for capturing those moments.
Coodie voice makes it extra special!
You can tell Ari really enjoyed this interview
He definitely is prepared on the subject matter of Rap.
Ari Melber is the best anchor on the network hands down. No partisan drum beating, just facts and logic.
the title literally says Trump for no reason
Yup
The credit to God not Ari
@@MarinosTV1 Ari didn't title the video, Einstein.
Bro who is this reporter??? Mad respect for him 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Kanye taught me that you have to believe in yourself even when others don’t. It’s not even about proving people wrong. It’s about knowing what God has put inside you and walking in it.
THIS! This is it.
this man has got to be one of the most respectable interviewers on a mainstream media
Finally, a piece of journalism worth watching.
Cootie is right. The Kardashians told him that he couldn’t PUBLICLY support Trump Bc it would ruin their family name. And (I know it doesn’t make it right,) but when you tell him something like that (like, “No”) he will do ANYTHING he can to change that “no.” Kanye and the “red cap era” was never about policies or anything, it was Bc someone said “you can’t do that!”
@SuperPunch76 yes exactly. He hates the word “no,” he will go against it almost every time.
So why did he say 2 days ago that he still supports Trump? I don't think it was an Era? This is who he is now. Unfortunately, I can't separate the art from the person/politics. I dropped R Kelly decades ago and can not support Ye. 🤷🏾♀️ And I am an artist...
@@allthingsmarva you not no artist. Black ppl are supposed to be free. We can support any political figure we want. Democrats are the biggest racist thinking blacks aren’t independent enough to be political free to choose.
@@KarimKarim-xy9py ok lol
@@KarimKarim-xy9py it’s not as simple as republican vs Democrat it’s about supporting a man whose policies will directly negatively impact your brothers and sisters all because you can’t handle the word no like a big boy. 🤦🏾♀️ SMH. It doesn’t make you an independent thinker to blindly support someone who wants to be a dictator all because you are told you shouldn’t do that.
Ari, these interviews! Man, don't stop!
Ari, Well Done! This is SOOO better than your News Program. It's Authentically You!
great interview Ari you always keep it real
Go Ye
I have such a deep respect for Ari B, Coodie, and
Chike. Thank you for this 🙏🏽 Great Interview!
Kanye is not Crazy. Kanye is a Radical, on the Journey of life. All of us are on a Journey.
Not a Kanye fan but you can’t discount his work ethic and drive…. Great segment Ari!!
yawn.
Kanye explained in the last episode why he gravitated to trump, Ye said I live in a world where I cant be myself in a world full of lies I cant tell the truth.
Dope interview, was not expecting the host to be quoting Nas lol.. Ari did his research and/or is a longtime fan of hip-hop.
He's a hard core hip hop head He's known for using rap quotes. A lot of his guess will come with a quote when they come on the show
He's a hard-core hip-hop fan. He quotes hip-hop lyrics every day on his show. :)
He seems like he is into rap on his own time
I'm a white woman who doesn't listen to a lot of rap. But I remember hearing Kanye's music for the first time and thinking, "What is this?!" You could feel the passion and the music was alive and visceral and stood out. It seems like to be at that level that Ye operated on and that drove his success, was also inherently an imbalance. Or maybe it's not and his story is just not over, but at that point where you just have to pause and reconfigure, self-reflect before moving forward again. Most tremendously successful musicians and actors can look back over a career and lifetime and have a stumbling point that caused them to slow down and go deeper before finding themselves again. It's about getting humble and getting real when life seems to be more unreal for celebrities... no matter where you came from. This was a very interesting interview.
How many years of schooling did you suffer, lady...?
I dont believe any of this two guys know that Laos is the only neighbour of Belgium. I doubt they know WW-1 last 27 years. Certainly they cannot name a single member of Crowded House or know the Coen Sisters were filming for Edgar Emiliano Poe. Afro-American with "Pudelmütze". Wooow, Ari, woooow!!!
The interviewer is realistic n his interview. I want to see him more across the board on different topics.
Ari I love your one on one show’s. Excellent!💐💐💐
Why does Trump come up in every conversation? Like honestly why shouldn't he vote for Trump.. It shouldn't even be a question, this is problem with America.. People always want stick their nose in especially when a black person breaks the unwritten rule about voting democrat..
Support who you want to, however, just make sure you fully understand why you support that candidate. A lot of ppl have been voting democrat all their life and don't fully understand why.. A blind vote has no power because the politician hasn't earnt it and doesn't need to show results to keep that vote.
Everyone Needs A Coodie In Their Lives! 🤞🏾
Wow! a spectacular interview! love the energy of these men all around lifting up God🙏
I really like Coodie spirit
This interview of course along with the Jeen-Yuhs trilogy is so important to the culture. Through the footage collected for this documentary, Coodie and Chike were able to gauge people a long much needed glimpse into the artist/human that is Kanye West. Being misunderstood in the line light isn’t easy, especially when you’re in the process of manifesting your greatness. Coming from Chicago, when you’re not viewed as “street” in terms of music can be discouraging. This was highlighted throughout the entire documentary, which is why knowing who you are and keeping like minded individuals around you at all times is very important. I hope this provides the much need fuel for the up and coming artists to go after their dreams full steam ahead with both feet on the gas. There’s so much talent in the city of Chicago in various aspects of entertainment aside of from music. This documentary gives direct proof to that as well. Shouts to Ari for having these brothers on and allowing them the platform to push our culture in the right direction.
This was a really good interview🖤
Kanye is large in his own mind. Bursting at the seams like a mad scientist gone crazy. Hope and sanity happens when you abandon your pride and humble out and realize where you came from
This was a great interview, and it's been a long time coming. Much respect to Coodie, Chike and Ari! 💯💪🏾
It's about having awareness. Knowing what inspires you and what hasn't satisfied you yet and go out and make it and share it with the world!
This was an amazing interview. I like this Ari guy. Never heard of him before.
Coodie has a great voice he should use it for storytelling. Cuddle’s to Chike & Coodie🙏🏾💕💕
Chike needs to front this outfit- at least for a national audience.. Coode has proven his film making but most DOPs do not promote. It is amazing the amount of unique moments he caught on camera.
Great interview Ari 👏🏽👏🏽
Cootie should win an Oscar for this documentary, it was truly 👏🏾 🤩👍🏾
When Kanye lost his mom he also lost his anchor and sanity… he’s not been right since
What’s your definition of right?
grief and loss can become a slippery slope to navigate
Kanye may be weird, but no one cannot deny he is extremely talented and quietly one of the best lyricist
He doesn't write his own raps
Yup
@@D1Snr maybe or maybe not
@@D1Snr Having viewed the doc, and been a longtime listener, I can inform you that his pen is gifted. You don’t do a duo album with Jay Z and not have real, hip-hop, bars. Kanye needs time in his current space to formulate the lyrics. He was alive for how many years, working on his songs before they were presentable. Then factor in the polish they received while waiting to be accepted as an artist and drop an album. He needs the same time frame, events need to occur in life and lessons to need to be learned to form new stories. His first few releases were an amalgamation of years of prior sweat equity. The difference between now and the beginning is that his free time is not solely devoted to producing or writing anymore. He won’t reach into that lyrical skill set until he has time to focus on it. It’s the nature of life.
He has outgrown this particular talent, and has been working on other things. Talents have to be sharpened like swords. Even the greatest have to MAINTAIN their greatness.
I hope everyone here is able to tap in to the kind of focus Kanye has. These are the things we should take home with us from the artists we’re fans of. The hunger to reach your own goals.
@@darrenwoodard1253 my julju
i was Raised in Chicago Kanye's name was buzzing a lot. No matter what radio station in my car someone was always talking about Kanye.
I'm from chicago it's called hype. Yes I heard it too then when I heard his noise I knew it was affirmative action .
This interviewer is brilliant in his own right to be able to pick out gems of the movie but also ask poignant questions to bring out the best in his guests. Also he obviously watched and meticulously analyzed the documentary to prepare for this interview. Hats off to all 3 of these excellent men.
This was a great interview! I laughed SO hard about the retainer piece and he being in his element❤️😀😂
I love when his mon said stay grounded don’t be arrogant , he said to her “ I am a bit “ mom well not that bad ,and never get bigger then the giant in the mirror.
Ari
I always watch you show "all the way through."
"All the Way Through"? Sounds like the name of a gayporno
Love Ari!! He more hip hop than me! Lol..
I read some of the comments. The usual mixed bag. I wasn't expecting much and I thought I'd tune into something else after the first few minutes. I was wrong. It was really interesting and fascinating IMHO. p.s that means in my humble opinion
Is that what IMHO means? So what does GFYS mean?
@@bartjargengarblbargeler1980 very funny! ditto...
Another great epidode!'👍🏽✊🏽
You can't put Kanye in A Cage..baby, GO YE
I like presidents who's accounting firms dont fire them for being criminals ✌️🥴 MAGA PANIC ✌️🥴
Whaoo, Ari is a great interviewer.
A whole lot of our black musical genius always end tragically and I pray that chain ends going forward and humbleness take over our communities.
Whole lot ,,,?
Shut up
Codie and Chike, that's what I call faith and trust in God's Word 🙏. This is what true confidence is about. God will never fails us if we believe in Him and keep God alive in us no matter what. There was a purpose and you followed your heart and faith in God. Hope this documentary is an inspiration to others.
These guys are a blessing for capturing all of Kanye's beautiful moments! My baby Ye🙌 I'm rolling with him to the wheels fall off!!! 🙏 for my Hubby Wubby❤
An Amazing Doc! I love the sections of the film with Kanye and Dr. West. I am sure they will be nominated and win Awards!
Kudos to Ari😀
Actually Kanye shows what is wrong with today’s America. We’re so cookie cutter. So bandwagon-ish. So offended. So fragile. So wanna be liked. So lost that we don’t realize how far we could go if we weren’t so afraid to be ourselves. These things are simply ludicrous to Kanye.
Like the Ukrainian president, courage and non conformity inspires!
I immediately saw where America was going wrong when I watched this documentary.
The courage of our convictions no longer exist.
We lost our balls but pretend to still have them by doing stuff like the Capital debacle.
Which only proves our desire to be mind sucked through the nostrils and repurposed by some friggin leader.
Kanye was right about a ton of stuff. Except maybe trump.
ARI? My dude since day one!
So now we know what Ari listens to in the car.
Watching every night I could tell what he listens to
Thank you, Ari!!!!!
Ari … IS HIP HOP . !!! Point blank period . He , and people like him are TRUE FANS of the culture that has made it what it is today. Even tho you never think of people that look like him , in his world . They GENUINELY CARE AND LISTEN. …. That’s why HIP HOP MUST take care and be careful of the narrative. Not censorship, but care and love .. of the culture. Respect ✊🏽 to all the ARI’s out there
Coodie having all this footage was amazing
There is no other mainstream journalist who has the insight into the culture do this interview. The filmmakers have their own genius and dedication to their subject, even though the outcome was never sure. All three men here are geniuses in their own right. The story isn't over...
This is a great interview and this journalist interviewer is bomb, too✅30 mins but 🎯👌🏽
☺️ Ari is awsome! 🎆
What a great well rounded interview
Those r some CUTE directors😍😍
Ari melba, we love to watch you. This show is lovely. Love the way the gent speaks, his accent sounds like music. Glad u blocked out the swear words though...☯️
Awesome narrator, you want more, can't wait for next episode
Ari is one of the well-versed journalists in this industry. He knows and is willing to understand culture and society overall, not just the circle that he is in.
Cody has a narrator's voice. Great.
Loved the interview
Yellow Pain is next - these out of the box rappers will blow up and get their due recognition.
Ari Melber the best anchor 👏👏👍👍
Such an interesting interview and story.
Crazy that Coodie is over 50 years old. Dude looks super youthful
Great interview.
Ari this will separate you from the rest much respect to journalism.. oh In so called Blk and I voted Mr T policy's the best ever.
Some of these people don’t know talent when it hits them directly in the face!!
Kanye never treated you very good cootie , that was up setting , I thought I was wrong about Kenya because you made him look so fine , caring ,kind etc,, you did a fantastic job great documenter , I love doc’s I’ve seen almost every one on people , I couldn’t believe how Kenya treated you such a great friend , I felt very bad for you ! You have a beautiful little girl I pray God Blessed you and your family ,keeps you all safe and healthy ,
Doc was amazing
Coodi should have a new career of voice acting and narrating, great voice
kanye was def disloyal for leaving coodie when he got on
Best interview to date! Kanye is lost. I hope he finds a way to stay...
WRONG KANYE IS ON THE RIGHT PATH! GOD'S PATH! SMH
Look at your own life your lost .

Peoples will put you in a box when you don't fit..🤔🤔🤔
kanye and trump are homies
Had to find a way to bring Trump into it.
To all the Commenters. The credit is to GOD not. Ari. Ari should be privileged to get the interview.
EXCELLENT! ❤❤❤❤
"lock me up lock me up lock me up" - Donald j tRump ✌️🥴 MAGA PANIC ✌️🥴🤡
Drake narrated. bad idea. NO
I watched the show and one thing that is for sure is…them Chicago guys believed in Kanye …they knew he was the one from the beginning
Excellent
480P.... WHAT YEAR IS THIS
