Can we even call it a pilot

[@SpringBRK]

@@frshprdc Most shows dont have The fully developed Plot until they go more in depth with it, The office...is just people in an office, but the improvisation of the characters is what many people Like about that show. I think, the plot of this show would've been Kanye trying to get a hold for himself, doing his own thing without wanting to be bossed around by managers and security, and have funny skits included throughout. Maniac Fans, A Racist Cab Driver, A Make a Wish Kid That Lives Thanks to the donation Of a More unfortunate Child And a lot of Awkward Moments, Yeah it all Would've Been...A little Innapropriate.

@@patrick_on_here9914 i mean i dont like kanye and im not saying the show is good but you cant have high expectations for a fucking pilot that wasn't meant to be publicly available. Its kinda dumb if u ask me.

[@jm.Beats.]

To be fair this was 2007ish. The music is great for the transitions but all the actors vocals are unmixed and there's most likely zero video editing done either. Even blockbusters today are probably awkward onset and probably seem like bad acting because the actor has to pretend something is there when it's not and then CGI is added in later. This is a super rough cut of a pilot. Most likely random ideas Kanye had for a show but it just didn't materialize. Curb Your Enthusiasm was hilarious even tho it damn near had this style of intentional awkward camera shots and cuts.

As someone who has never really considered himself a kanye fan, but still is really interested in everything he does, I clicked on this 2 see what its about and I must say im surprised. I have had more laughs in the 30 mins this lasted, than i ever had in a full season of a netflix show. To all the ppl complaining about the bad acting or whatever. Kanye wasnt acting in this he was just himself and this shouldnt be looked at as a serie as how you look at like breaking bad or some, this more like a "day in the life"with a little script. The signing session, meeting the make a wish kid its all stuff that he probably really just experienced and used for the series. If this would have been polished up a little bit it would have been a banger.

The only things I could see being changed for the better if HBO picked this up was to not have the side by side screens and not include kanye monologue since it would be better just to see his reactions than him clarifying something. The use of using music to portray what his entourage was feeling was creative and the up close shots to show kanye’s perspective is also good to show how much people try to act cool or “real” to him lol
