Kanye’s energy and drive to be successful was unstoppable then. A near death accident didn’t stop Kanye from rapping & producing. Having his jaw wired shut didn’t stop Kanye from rapping & producing. At certain points in life, peoples drive to achieve something can make them super human... That was Kanye back then. I have found that when people say they miss the old Kanye, I believe this is what they are referencing... They miss the musical drive, determination, focus and fearlessness he had back then. I look forward to watching this documentary.

Young heads might not realize it now, but Ye’s early raps being on par with Mos’ is a feat in itself. I was a freshman in high school when The College Dropout released and I was telling all of my friends Ye was the next dude. Funny as hell, erratic, made his own beats with super soulful samples, had been making beats for Rocafella for years by that point, could hold his own rapping (and at times out-rapped) Mos, Talib and HOV. Into fashion (I fancied myself a snappy dresser, which was not something all younger dudes were into back then). I had no idea he’d become what we see today. I just thought he was dope.

@@saqib7965 I'm a huge Kanye fan but you're not entirely correct here.

You're right about 808s, but you could also mention Travis Scott being directly influenced as well. MBDTF is a masterpiece, and it laid the foundation of other albums like channel orange, good kid MAAD city and take care.

Dont play with my feelings like that

[@thegatorviking]

Y'all gotta understand that for many years Ye had to fight for respect as a rapper. He was only looked at as a producer, thats it. They didn't want him to rap. But he kept at it and eventually showed everyone that he was the first REAL producer who could not only rap, but entertain.

[@iiiiiiii2625]

@beep boop do those guys have a mbdtf under their belt? yea i thought so

[@thegatorviking]

@beep boop you clearly either weren't alive back then or paying attention. What Ye did was a first of his kind. Of course he wasn't the very first producer to rap on a track, he was the first one to make a successful ALBUM. Not 1 song, not 2 songs. AN ALBUM. With RADIO HITS. That was UNHEARDOF at that point in time and Ye specifically was told by MANY ppl to quit rapping. Again, you either weren't alive or weren't paying attention back then.

[@calebanderson1527]

MF DOOM?

[@thegatorviking]

@@gabrielmoreno3589 listen, most rappers are amateur producers and most producers are amateur rappers. Dr Dre was NOT a lyricist. He's in the same category as snoop and easy E. Rhyme tellers, not lyricists and showmen. You just illustrated my point even harder. Nobody ever took a producer who raps seriously because their bars weren't there. Name one Dr Dre track he's famous for that DOESN'T feature another hot artist. Now tell me how many number 1 songs Ye has ON his own. The two cant be compared.

[@AmanDeep-fg3im]

I got teared up when this scene came up in the series .. i was thinking how can a so passionate guy with this much talent didn’t getting his shot …. U can see in his flow all that pent up energy….old kanye want to prove himself, u can listen to old songs like ( can’t tell me nothing) n now he is more passionate about fashion design and all that other stuff n I’m so happy for him … that’s a true artist he contributed what he want to weather its producing or rap and now something else he kept creating new levels ..

[@danieldiditlast]

I hope to be as passionate in something like Ye was during this moment one day.

I just have a different level of respect for this young man! He worked Hard to get everything he has, even when all the doors were closed and not to many people believed in him, he still grinned! His mother spoke so love and encouragement into his life, I wish she was here to see him and to continue encouraging him, I think he needs her now! Great job on this documentary❤️❤️❤️

[@PalaceDude]

True, his voice is incredibly distinct, you could pick it up from anywhere, and this verse right here highlights that tone.

[@fredotlogetswe3047]

Amazing will be an understatement for this documentary, I thought I knew who Kanye is until I watched this. We have been "getting to know" him through the eyes of the media and we were sold a dummy. This is a humble guy who struggled to make it, and her mother was a sweet motherly humble woman who was his pillar for sure. This is the Kanye we didn't know at all.I will never look at him the same. INCREDIBLE

[@ninjaboy191]

I've been wanting an approachable mainstream documentary on this man for years. The average person only forms opinions about Ye through the headlines and tabloids, I really hope this doc gives the insight that shows why we fans really love this man. He's done so much for the culture, fearlessly broke boundaries and evolved sonically.
