‘Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy’ Presents Kanye West’s Superstar Origin Story

An unusual wager was made over twenty-five years ago that young, then-fledgling music producer Kanye West would become a Grammy-winning headliner.

The result is “jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy,” a celebrity origin story. The first two films in this documentary trilogy give an inside look at West’s rapid rise.

But the public figure’s eccentricities, paradoxes, and deeds that make headlines complicate and confuse the storyline.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is scarcely mentioned once. The principal cinematographer for the documentary series wasn’t present.

The series’ primary focus is cameraman Coodie’s access to West’s career, which began when West was a budding, hungry beat creator and producer in Chicago, rather than West’s own game-changing creative progress.
