Mar 3, 2022Episode 3 is brutal and sad to watch at points. It really put into perspective the toll his fame and career has taken on him.
I think what's most telling about this episode is that post-TLOP, Ye's circle really seemed to change. That scene with the 3 rich white dudes and Ye speaking on his mental health is the best example of this. Kanye was clearly struggling and none of those guys gave a f***, they were just in it for the business opportunity. His support system isn't there and only exists in texts and phone calls. I think Coodie's choice to begin the episode with Rhymefest keeping Kanye in check is an acknowledgement of this.
I hope Kanye is in a better place these days, and I respect his decision to put this footage out there as not many people could do that. Kudos to Coodie and Chike as well for pulling this off. Kanye is a complex person and to boil down his journey into 3 distinct, but connected episodes is impressive.

Mar 3, 2022Feels like the level of fame ye has achieved has been a gift and curse for him..
Mar 3, 2022I don't get the 'this is sad' takes.
Welcome to this thing we call 'life'. You're going to go through certain things that will scar you, test your faith and resolve, but will also serve to strengthen you to keep you going on whatever mission you're on. I'm more inspired and impressed with how hard he's still going in spite of everything. He is a force.

Kanye is the biggest artist of his generation and for the director to push his own story so much into the documentary just felt cringedid you really just sit here and say coodie is narcissistic for putting in 10 min about himself in a 4.5 hour documentary about the biggest narcissist on the planet?

jeffpesosGood documentary. I loved that this was all told through Coodie’s perspective. I love that he gave us life updates of his own also, just showing us how his life changed but his heart still longed for that connection with Kanye. It’s understandable. His life changed forever because of him and every time they linked after they initially drifted apart, it probably felt like a break from his own life for a moment. Entering a new world for days, maybe weeks at a time, and then falling back into whatever his daily routine was. Probably living off the rush of whatever that experience was like until it was time to do it again. I’m sure it felt even more surreal being around Kanye the more time was in between them, just reading and watching Kanye’s life unfold in the media and then suddenly sitting across from him. Guy lived a great life: a normal one and flashes of otherworldly experiences because of his friend that just so happened to become a music legend. Really powerful stuff to me
these Stans don't understand basic storytelling. coodie is the audience surrogate here. we live and experience this story through him. without his presence this would be interesting, sure, but dry and not emotionally compelling. that's not even mentioning the fact that we wouldn't have none of this s*** if coodie didn't have the foresight to start filming Kanye before anyone even knew who he was. y'all should be THANKING coodie not f***ing crying bc he dared to not make a history channel doc

100 percent agree, man. We should be thanking this man, not criticizing him for silly things

Hearing/seeing the confirmation that Ye changed in real time (he invited dude around and wanted him around GITD era after Donda’s passing) was sad as hell
The Deray/GLC s*** was wack. And the Late Regristration party where he obviously kept tryna lil boy dude by calling him Chike. Disappointing
At the same time they skipped a few things cuz I remember Homecoming behind the scenes video footage was on channel zero’s YouTube when all these clips were on there
Wish there was more footage of the making of Graduation and the transition from spring 07 to pre 808s. Hope someone was filming that
BRUNTZ 🖤Mar 3, 2022That scene where coodie & ye reunited in 2017 around paparazzi was so wholesome

RIZGODI wish some of the "Kanye changed, I refuse to check out anything he does because he wore that hat and said slavery is a choice" people would watch this so that they could see HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE F***ING SAME. I can't stand how people who were staunch supporters refuse to check out anything associated with him just because ideals they f*** with became the target of Kanye's way of expressing himself
People were pissed about the George Bush thing, the Taylor Swift thing, I've seen this nigga lowkey defend OJ Simpson in that VH1 performance he did. Nigga has had a p*** addiction in like 2003 and now the mother of his children made billions off a s***tape, he has not changed.I mean the difference between then and now is that those seemed like genuine things that we could all relate to and now he reaches to have similar moments like that. The black republican thing for example, he purposely plays dumb to act like people not liking him d*** riding Trump and representing the red hat and it’s ethos mean that “black people cant be republican” Lmaoo he’s forcing himself into an uphill battle/Rebel without a cause bc he’s used to creating from that position
