Kanye somehow managed to convince his mother to pay for time in a recording studio.
He got her mother’s support since then through thick and thin. After crossing paths with DJ No I.D, he got a ‘friend, philosopher, and guide’ in his life. At the age of 20, he dropped out of the classical education system to pursue his musical career professionally. Over his career period, he’s explored a diversity of genres including soul, electro, stadium rock, synth-pop, indie rock, industrial, punk and gospel.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is a real incident-based documentary made from real footage. So the audience can expect inside views of the music world. Also, it will showcase Ye’s rise to acclaim and his fame. The documentary’s biggest attraction is the compilation of home video clips. Also, the performance footage gives the audience a close-up look at the artist’s persona. A clip from the teaser shoes West’s private moment of humming ‘Through the wire’ despite having his jaw wired after a car accident. This gives a reflection of the depth of insights into West’s life that the audience can expect. A complete exploration of the two-decade-long career of the artist ought to require more than a single film. So splitting the documentary into three parts will prove to be a smart move from the filmmakers.
