jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy | All Parts Released

[FunkDoc1112]

LA will do that to the best of them. Especially if you’re not from there. Well adjusted, “normal” celebrities tend to live in New York. Something about seasons gives a sense of normalcy. You also can’t help but to be around people from every race, class, and economic group. Keeps you humble.

In LA you can be around nothing but rich and famous people every minute of your life if you chose. It’s very easy to get caught up in bullshyt.

LA is literally a city built on being fake. Hollywood is an industry of make believe. People aren’t any different

I think it's also because with New York City, because of the way it's built, you WILL end up around regular people. It's a walking city built on public transit, so you're gonna be out and about with everybody and their mother. Impossible not to interact with the commonfolks, so it grounds you a bit. Not that there aren't elitist yuppies but even they have an edge to them that rich elites from other places don't.

Edit: This is why I need to read more cuz you literally said the same thing in simpler terms

Plus even rich people in NYC will call you out on your nonsense. Someone like John McEnroe would've cussed Kanye out for his antics instead of laughing and smiling like some of the new people around Kanye in the documentary.

Some of the moments in there are straight The clip of him bigging up Tucker Carlson is

but I literally burst into laughter at Bieber sitting on the couch like

while Kanye ranted about his press conference. All it was missing was the 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' closing theme.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Nah I think what Kanye means is that MBDTF, he was actively trying to make a palatable, safe album that he knew people would like, not necessarily what was moving him as an artist or captured what was truly on his mind at the time. Basically MBDTF wasn't as genuine to him, just a fanservicey crowdpleasing album whereas 808s and Yeezus were more risky and authentic.

I think Kanye sees MBDTF as like, Avengers: Endgame and 808s and Yeezus as the Justice League Snyder Cut. One is really well-made, hits all the marks, and designed to please the crowd while the other is more ambitious and risk-taking.

No, I get that. I think I said in an earlier post that Kanye sees MBDTF as a pop album. He could make something like that in his sleep. 808s and Yeezus were more of a challenge for him, like he was trying to make people rethink who he was as an artist. When everybody expects him to zig, he doesn't even zag. He zorps. That's what those albums represent. The hunt is what Kanye loves. I guess MBDTF didn't feel like the hunt, just what he felt people expected him to make.

I was just taken aback by what he said because of the legacy that MBDTF has. I never saw it as an album meant to appeal to everybody and make that 14-year-old white kid in Wyoming feel good about themselves. It felt like Kanye finally accepting his role as the bad guy and letting everybody know they can follow him or abandon him, their choice. It sounds defiant, like he's telling people to fukk off and let him do his thing. "Gorgeous" is Kanye letting the world know that he's still the best in the game and he's not moving for anybody. "Runaway" is the very definition of who Kanye is at his core. It's spiteful, sarcastic, and shameless. "Hell of a Life" is literally about his love for fukking porn stars. "Power" is pretty much his anthem at this point, explaining where he was at in 2010 and addressing the way everybody looks at him.

When I think about all of that, and the stories behind the album (the private sessions in Hawaii, "Power" taking 5,000 hours to make, wearing suits and ties in the studio, the original idea of each song being ten minutes), there will always be a disconnect with Kanye's opinion. If this is what he thinks being safe and accessible is, then he's harder on himself than anyone else could be.

Spoiler

One thing that would have strengthened Kanye's point is if MBDTF won Album of the Year at the Grammys. He's never won the award, so if this was the album to do it, then his plan to make it safe and accessible would be perfect. But it didn't even get nominated. I really wonder what Kanye thought when he found out he got snubbed because "Thanksgiving dinner" albums don't get ignored during Grammy season.

 

[HARLEM AL]

Exactly. Women get killed over crazy exes like Kanye. I don't find this shyt entertaining. If Kanye and Kim were regular people you'd end up learning about them from the eventual murder-suicide news story.

That shyt is still possible.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

That 2017 Ye to the present was something different to behold

 

[ShaDynasty]

Gonna watch this later.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Kanye pops on the phone and Kanye face

 

[Legalese]

might have to take a few points off the doc for not having footage from Grad to Yeezus, the most intense years of his career

At the time he blamed himself for putting out MBDTF and Watch The Throne both within the eligibility period thus cancelling them out.

That makes perfect sense. It explains why neither album got nominated because MBDTF not being in that category is one of the biggest snubs in Grammy history.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Watching now. Think yall are overstating the Chike thing from the Grammy video. Looked like they were just drunk and joking around

 

[jaguar paw]

Watching Ye in his Wyoming ranch working on all
his passions at once in the same room was inspiring as fukk. Shoes, Clothes, Music, Art, etc all in one space all being worked on at the same time.

 

[Scientific]

That D.L. clip was annoying. Not because we shouldn't take abuse as jokes, but because I don't think anyone in their right mind calls it cute. Or that with all the lights, cameras, press, and security behind Kim, all of a sudden Kanye is capable of being physically abusive. Kim isn't obligated to deal with him, but her situation isn't anything like what D.L. is talking about.

Circling back to the scene when he picks up a magazine, he always had his types. He thirsted after the blonde bimbos, had Anna Nicole Smith and Pam Anderson in his videos. Amber Rose and Kim fit his type. I don't blame Kim for being what everyone knew what she was. Everyone knew she'd eventually get tired of him, but at the same time Ye chose that Clow show. And the two of them were toxic, but Kanye being a simp isn't anything new. Its amplified now because of where he is mentally.

just started watching ep3. Damn Coodie looked seriously upset from Kanye calling him Chike.

Someone else called him Coodie Chike though. And I didn't think he looked upset, just annoyed that Kanye was drunk. He was looking for an interview with his homie, and catches him at the end when he's intoxicated by then.

That last part was super boring n wack
