Long before Kanye West donned a Make America Great Again hat, married Kim Kardashian and elevated to billionaire status, he was just another kid from Chicago with dreams of making it big in the music business.
In the forthcoming Netflix documentary, Jeen-Yuhs, directors Clarence “Coodie” Simmons and Chike Ozah will take fans on a trip down memory lane to explore how Kanye became, well, Kanye.
On Saturday (September 25), the streaming giant released the first trailer for the three-part series, which includes plenty of never-before-seen footage.
The roughly two-minute clip dates back to 2002 when Kanye West was in New York City with Mos Def delivering an a cappella rendition of their 2004 College Dropout collaboration “Two Words.” It ends with “Coming Soon” but no specific release date. It is, however, expected to arrive sometime in 2022.

According to Pitchfork, the documentary sold for over $30 million in April and has been 21 years in the making. Jeen-Yuhs will reportedly explore Kanye’s time at Roc-A-Fella Records, how he built his Yeezy sneaker and clothing brand as well as his failed presidential campaign run last year.
Although Kanye wasn’t creatively involved with the project, he allowed Coodie and Chike to film him for over two decades.
Revisit “Two Words” below.
Klownye an arrogant self absorbed egotistical know it all. Guy is a clown and thinks he some great genius who the simpletons dont understand
You’re a clown. He is a musical genius, sorry you don’t feel that way.
yeah a lazy sampling of motown so genius
You’re a sad little boy who posts this same comment on every Kanye article from this website. I feel sorry for someone like you who had so much hate in his heart for someone he doesn’t know who is extremely loved and successful. It must make you feel really bad about yourself damn…
So… Kanye predicted his downfall. He is the same, he (the public persona, not the artist) has not changed but on judgment day he is being blamed. Society has changed, Kanye still speaks his mind whether people like it or not. Society has shifted in a manner to where his outspokenness is not valued anymore because he isn’t speaking fondly about what is the norm. As an artist he has changed and is always trying new sounds and mainly gets it right (sorry snowflakes who dont like Donda because they dont like Kanye as a person). His music has been and continues to be a blessing. It’s a shame he’s only gonna get his flowers when he dies because we live in a time where soft ass p*ssies can’t accept that not everybody shares their views. Cosmo tryna deplatform kanye and drake. This is the world we live in.
In other words, a 2 minute clip when Kanye was dope.
