JEEN-YUHS: A KANYE TRILOGY
In the midst of all the Kanye West drama, today his first-ever film documentary was released to the public, titled JEEN-YUHS: A KANYE TRILOGY (trailer here), reminding fans of the old Kanye. The film is filled with never-before-seen footage shot by Coodie and Chike, following the life of the artist, producer, businessman and designer, breaking his life up into three parts. The first act, VISION, premiered today and shows Kanye's early struggle, trying to get any and everyone to listen to one of my personal favorite Kanye tracks of all time, ALL FALLS DOWN. Here, we really see how determined Kanye was, truly all about his art. The film's release comes at an interesting time, likely to reignite Kanye fans and rile up his haters. But for me, it’s a stark reminder of his brilliance when it comes purely down to his art—because I, for one, definitely miss the old Kanye.
