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

This is a great documentary it was perfect in my opinion, a must-watch. It gave me a new appreciation for Kanye and his late mother-he misses his mom. He is a real genius or Jeen-Yuhs. He needs to listen to his song on the Gold digger and move on. Closed on Sunday is where he wants to be with his family. His few are Christian till death do us part is a thing of the past. His mom’s death keeps him close to God. Just know it hard test God has something for him to overcome. He is trying to see his precious mother on the other side. She looked like a real sweet woman in the video. Only God can Judge Kanye. I wish him real peace. I am starting the think he is lonely just like MJ he is in rare air.

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.
