A superstar origin story, "jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy" is the product of an extraordinary gamble made nearly a quarter century ago: that then-nascent music producer Kanye West would become a Grammy-winning headliner. Yet this front-row view of West's meteoric rise in the first two parts of this docu-trilogy then gives way to the public persona, whose quirks, contradictions and headline-grabbing actions complicate and blur this narrative arc.
In the broadest terms, there's something fascinating about this Netflix presentation, which has its roots in Clarence "Coodie" Simmons identifying West's potential in 1998, while running a public access show in Chicago.
Within a few years, Simmons had essentially become West's videographer and companion, chronicling the ups and downs of his efforts to earn the respect of Roc-a-Fella Records and launch a solo career.
It's an unusually intimate portrait, following West to shows, in the studio, while recovering from a car accident and while hanging out with his late mother, Donda.
It also includes a who's-who of cameos from those who have crossed his path, from Mos Def to Pharrell Williams, Jamie Foxx to Jay-Z.

Along the way, Simmons - who narrates the docuseries and shares directing credit with Chike Ozah - details his own journey, which included becoming a father and abandoning the project at West's request, before returning years later and finally putting it together as Covid slowed his hands.
"Every great story begins with a vision," Simmons notes at the outset, and clearly West saw himself as a major presence before he had the resume to back that up, then delivered on those promises.
