Two weeks prior to the streaming giant’s premiere of Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, Netflix shared the latest trailer for the in-depth, decades-spanning documentary about the controversial rapper.
Arriving 2.16, the two-minute preview of “Act 1” of the three-part doc series covers West’s gradual rise from eager Chicago beat master to a legit rapper and also hints at the stardom that was soon to follow, and West’s own belief that his career was preordained by God.
Following its Sundance premiere, Jeen-Yuhs comes to Netflix without the last-minute meddling of West, who gave a surprise demand that filmmakers Coodie and Chike reopen the editing room to him. However, shortly thereafter, West seemingly forgot about the request, as Coodie told Rolling Stone. “I asked him, ‘Did he watch the film?’ And he said, ‘I have a process,’” Coodie said. “I said, ‘That’s great that you got your process.’ And we just talked as brothers from that point.”
