Netflix has also released a brand new trailer for jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, which gives fans a glimpse at the historic footage they can expect to see in the documentary. The 70-second clip shows a young Kanye discussing his status as a “genius” with Rhymefest, getting dental work following his 2002 car crash, visiting his childhood home in Chicago and playing music for JAY-Z in the studio.

There’s also a cameo from Pharrell, who speaks about his admiration for the rapper, producer and fashion mogul. “Very rarely do you encounter self-contained people,” he says. “This man can do everything himself. He livin’ it.”

The documentary contains footage dating back to the 1990s, when Coodie and Chike first linked up with Kanye. The duo went onto direct videos for The College Dropout tracks “Through the Wire,” “Two Words” and the third iteration of “Jesus Walks.”
jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, which sold for over $30 million last year, was scheduled to be premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival later this month, until organizers made the decision last week to shutter the in-person festival due to rising COVID-19 cases.
