CONTEXT:
After two whole years and over two million views, UMG decided it’d be fun to remove the documentary I spent four months of my life crafting. With the sheer amount of claims, I don’t know which one specifically got it taken down, which is why I opted not to appeal and instead took this as an opportunity to make the video better and longer than it was before. I’ve added more analysis, full coverage of Donda, and of course done my best to remove every bit of claimable music I stupidly included the first time. I know this isn’t a completely new video, but I’ve gotten numerous requests to bring this one back since the day it was deleted. It’s always been a personal favorite of mine and I wanted to do what I could to restore it. I know some ppl won’t care but for the ones that do, I hope you enjoy. Thanks for reading this mess of a tangent.

Imagine if you waited 10 more months, this video would probably need an extra 30 minutes just to detail all of Ye's new insanity.
30?
Prolly like an hour more
A full hour-thirty by now lol
Welcome back everyone. It’s a shame we couldn’t reunite under more fortunate circumstances.
Greetings, old friend.

@@choicethetaurus Ok this is cool! i clicked the link and i expected some scam or a dumb thing. But this looks nice!
When leno asked Kanye about how his mom would have felt, you can just see him shut down. It felt so raw, seeing his realization and pain over what his mom would think :(
i can't imagine being in his shoes and having to hear on live tv that your mother, who was everything to you, would be disappointed in what you have become.
it's shattering, i've never been a fan of ye as a person but my heart broke for him
it's easy to see how and why he never recovered from her loss when he felt that he had betrayed her in so many ways
absolutely gutting
i don't know what kind of a relationship he must have with kanye to be able to ask him such a personal question but to do that on tv instead of personally off camera was a fucked up thing to do
It hurt to watch. Sometimes interviewers take it too far. I know they are suppose to ask thoughtful and difficult questions but I feel like he knew it would hurt him.
i'm always disgusted when i see that clip because that was just such a horrible thing to ask to ye. leno asking whether his mother, the most important person in his life and the one he loved the most, would be ashamed of what he's done is just absolutely gut-wrenching and the fact that he's stuck there and he has to answer it makes it worse
It was compelling to watch.
This definitely aged well. Part 2?
Man always been that way but now is Red Pilled
yeah..maybe part 3
like fine milk
Aubrey typically drops these at a good time but I don't blame him for thinking Kanye couldn't get any worse
A moment of silence for just how good this man’s editing is…
*~*~*
It's unreal
Pretty sure this mf only uses premeire not after effects shit is insane
wait to you see jen yuhs
he has a team yall
I’ll say this much, you humanized an artist that seemed insane to me. I never had gotten into his music or his life story and you showed a very different side than the media portrays. I hope he sees this. You deserve to be seen by him. Great work.
Not insane... evil
Ye is a very good Man.
Maximum Respect for him
They always say our prophets are crazy or bad.

Jesus LORD died for my sins and for YOURS
@@yogijaya2897 I don’t believe in original sin. Sorry. That is a way for religion to make people feel guilty and obedient to a church authority. I don’t believe in that. I like Jesus and he was a great teacher but I’m not even sure that the people that wrote his story were correct. None of the New Testaments were written by anyone that knew Jesus personally. In fact, the earliest book was written 70 years after Jesus died. So it was all history passed down orally. A lot of personal interests by powerful men and people that wanted control. The closest to the real bible are the dead sea scrolls and they don’t speak anything about Jesus dying for our sins. They speak of Jesus teaching people about earth and mother nature. So, sorry, I don’t know if you have actually done your research but you need to read a bit more. I promise you wont go to hell for looking for the actual truth.
@@AzulaZuko100 meh he isn’t evil. He is confused. His brain gets the best of him because his brain doesn’t work correctly. Bipolar is a pretty serious mental disorder. I don’t see him being evil. Narcissistic? Yes. Confused? Yes. But evil? Nah.
I, just now, am watching this video and that is the first thing that came to me, right off the bat it is humanizing an artist that, be it by both unadulterated ambition and circumstance has become almost an entity, like i know for who he portrays himself to be, and what he does, which has made him seem to be almost unreal to me. So hearing abot his upbringing and all almost made me recoil, like, what?
His messages in his past music make his white lives matter and anti-semitism seem wildly out of character, yet also, strangle completely unsurprising
I think Black Skinhead might have been hinting at something
Horseshoe theory in action.
@@dangerxbadger2300 Plus the mentality of being proud over being controversial is a pretty easy way into that rabbit hole.
when you're manic or hypomanic you do shit that you regret deeply when you're stable. so i know kanye's going to have a lot of regret. it's not an excuse, however it is an example.
@@justaperson6254 would be nice for him to show some of that regret he's got there..
Kanye calling Bush racist was actually in my sociology textbook in first year university not even joking
This is one of the best videos on Kanye, glad it’s back up and better than ever!
lego jesus????????????????
Sup
I still think FD Signifier’s duology is unmatched
Yo it weren't taken down. It weren't taken down. What u on. Take that vacation.it weren't taken down.
My favorite Alpha and Omega creator! XD Love your shit, keep it up
As someone with Bipo. I found it extremely heartbreaking and absolutely concerning, the way people were hyping him up during his Presidential campaign. ESPECIALLY when he was having that breakdown, during his press conference. Just absolutely sobbing and people were cheering him on. I thought of all my unmedicated breakdowns and how dangerous it would have been, if people were hyping me. Cosigning my rants and telling me I was a genius. When what I really would need, is someone who cared enough to stop me and get me some proper help. It just showed he really didn't have anyone who care enough to take care of him. Whenever I see him doing something else erratic, it reminds me to take my meds and thank my loved ones, for being there for me.
Wow that's so insightful. I think most of us don't understand bipolar enough to have that insight so thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm a health professional and even I never fully considered that. The people cheering him on probably believe they are helping him and supporting him.
When I had done extensive research on bipolar disorder for my psychology class last year I started making real life connections to apply what I had learned to real world examples, and seeing how people had treated Kanye was heartbreaking to say the least. You are absolutely correct, people hyping him up during manic or even depressive episodes is even more damaging to his mental health, and it pains me to see all the yes men cheering everything he does on, when what he really needs is people at his side telling him how some of his actions are just not ok, and get him the help he desperately needs.
I'm borderline and know someone who has had bipolar the whole time we've been best friends. it is truly a different world she lives in when she's manic and it can last for months. it can be a huge blessing but also a huge curse and I worry about her delusions going too far sometimes.
I have BPD and It's been rough this last year cause I left an abusive relationship and it happened like him, my mania and depression was like a rollercoaster, some things I do not remember and some things I do and the worst part is that I was into this low moment when It was too obvious I was not okay and nobody wanted to be a friend cause they thought I was being "problematic" or "crazy". I can understand how it feels and makes me so upset that people can't understand bipolar disorder or BPD, too stigmatized
Hmm. I'm not American so here... We don't really throw around such diagnosis.. But i think perhaps I might be considered bipolar, and know others who would also be.
I try to help myself by grounding myself in my work and the material.
I've never had anyone pander to my crazy thoughts.
So it's been easy, with time, to bottle them, and then ignore them.. And mostly forget them.
And of course we have to accept our position in reality, most of society and occurances will always be outside our influence or control - beyond our direct actions.
Perhaps we are fragments of God (equally with everyone else), but a far cry from 'being God' obviously.
But I have known people who flew a little too close to the sun and never really recovered or reintegrated into society.
I don't put much faith in mental health workers, from personal experience.
An individual really just needs the capacity to be able to make their own adjustments and repair themselves, and there is definitely enough information available to 'us' in order for that to happen.
If someone is too far gone.. Well that's just too bad. At least that would seem to be how it is here, from experience.
This documentary definitely needs a sequel
Dang, learning about how much his mom impacted his life, especially with her death, just changes my whole perspective of him. It’s not going to be a good day when he finally stops running away from himself, and have another “what would your mother think of your actions?” moment.
I don't think he's running away from himself. He's very self aware, just mentally ill
Yeah. I always said I felt like the loss of his mother hit him harder than people realized.
The mental illness on top of that just makes it worse.
Like the lady said, it’s not an excuse for anything he does but it is a reason. I’m just always hoping he’ll get the help he clearly needs.
TWO HOURS? Even if I’ve watched half this before I’ll watch it again :)
Right? How long was the original? Because I feel like this might be our Snyder Cut.
@@BeerCityBandit like a hour and a half
Just wanna say that as someone with bipolar, this breakdown is massively important in humanizing us, but also showing our constant private rise and fall. Kanye’s journey is highly representative of an inner journey, and you’ve done an amazing job with research and showing those ups and downs. Thank you 🙏🏼
As someone with bipolar too I cannot justify him letting himself to be an ass just because of it
I think this doc can teach a lot of a people about writing other's off due to mental health issues or taking media portrayals at face value in general. It shows us just how wrong or short sighted about ay one person and their behaviour we can potentially be. I have bpd, autism, depression, anxiety, cptsd and possible bipolar.
@@penktokines i mean, i dont think its justification but rather a reason as to why he did what he did
Also the loss of Donda. Grief sticks with you. None of this justifies the shit he does, it humanizes it. And I can empathize. Makes me cry.
Right but we need to recognize where Kanye is staying at in his journey, isn't great.
"i was a sore winner so i apologize for how i was keeping so real" what a line
"All I want to do is make my mother proud and make a positive mark on society" ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
Some people can find positives in what he says
He is doing better to most humans, look at these comments they are nothing but talking heads or typing fingers.
We don't knwo how concious he really is; to me KAnye is just a walking psychotic breakdown and bi-polar disorder. He has not been Kanye for years since he stopped taking his medicine
@@jayBBvid95 he wanted success more than fame tho, & he also wanted people singing his praises about his talents & his brilliance. then along the way he seems to have lost touch with his more rooted self, instead relying on the impulsiveness of each new idea he conceptualizes. he lacks the mental reflex that many of us have where we second guess our hastier thoughts bc he seems to have become convinced that he's too brilliant for missteps. every time someone doubts an idea he has now, he doubles down on it just because it was _his_ idea
Imagine being a single black mother and raising this freak.
"there's aloooot of things I looooooove about Hitleeerrrrr" like wow... I feel SO bad for her, she's gotta be rolling in her grave, bless her
Kanye in 2003 : I feel like god saved me from the crash, to tell me that "I'm about to give you the world, and I can take it at any moment..."
Kanye in 2022 : God saved me from that car crash, just so I could beat Pete Davidson's ass
@Amber Craig honestly kinda agree. His mother was kind of like his moral compass, and when he lost his mom he was misguided and confused. You can really see this because most of his controversies (besides the George bush one) was after the death of his mother.
Lol
The Devil 2002 was hi crossroads he accepted the devil and it catapulted him into hip hop royalty
@Amber Craig ... Robert Johnson 🎸 🎶 at crossroads an old American legend I thought it was a tale until well... let’s just say it certainly happens... seek success desire it and if you’re lucky 🍀 you’ll be soon met with prosperous & genius ideas that come with a huge decision to make. Either work on your past accept your past wrong ... or choose yourself. Most people choose themselves that’s ultimately selling your soul because well natural law doesn’t reward selfishness without placing an expiry date on it/making it cumbersome.
The alternative option you’re given is also cumbersome in the beginning only YET leads to a more sustainable prosperity and a general well good and balance for everyone. The prosperity guarantees peace.
It’s the turtle 🐢 and hare 🐰 story. Think Kylie- they are in a rush. They playing a losing game
It’s just strange that he refers to god as a separate entity, when he already clearly stated that he thinks he, himself, is god.
I wish you didn't have to remove so many of the clips of Kanye's music, but the extended version makes up for it! This is so good jawbree. I never really liked Kanye or his music but watching your original documentary actually gave me some respect for him and his genius. I actually found myself thinking that he seems like a cool dude.
Kanye may have mental issues, but it shows through his actions depending on his environment. Kanye’s worst moments were when he was stuck with Kim, and the rest of her fake ass family. Kanye’s never been about just the money or image, so imagine having them surround you for years and years. The moment he was free from them it showed in how quickly he started improving and obviously changing for the better. Kanye’s definitely a dope dude
you were one of the people that commented on the reuploaded version on that other channel right? I remember you cause I really like that picture of Patrick Stump
Cos he is 🙌
@@Katie-ws7xp yes actually! I did haha
I think he did so he make money from the ads and not get copyright strike.
Imagine watching this in 2024… crazy
Young Kanye from nearly 2 decades ago was so wholesome. How times have changed...
i hate that companies can take down or take the income from videos like this SIMPLY bc of the content ID/copyright system on YT. This is the most fair use a piece of content can get and i wish yt would stick up for creators
it’s seems you cut a lot of the music out due to this! such a bummer it provides a lot of context
They take it down because it illuminates a lot for some of us who are not blind 👁 and can see
Please see what it’s meant to show you
Listen to good music please
this is the best kanye west documentary on youtube. the inclusion of 'never see me again' solidifies that statement, because people will just talk on how he was in a rough patch in his career and move on. But to actually convey the extent at which he was mentally down by explaining the sample and the suicide theory being supported by songs on MBDTF referencing suicide is just amazing.
edit: im further into the doc now and now he's analysing 'i feel like that' verse by verse, similarly to 'never see me again' where he portrays the extent of ye's mental state. thank you.
Have you watched the iceberg one they go into the same depth on "never see me again"
@@SamuelSilva-hl2jb yh yh that iceberg video is pretty good as well

We need part 2. Also seeing how supportive and loving his mother was makes his spiral sad to me cause it seems he really went off the rails when she passed
I was diagnosed with manic/ depressive or now know as bipolar when I was 15. I've been on meds ever since. With and without meds life is an uncontrollable rollercoaster ride of a life. I'm 54 and if you can't stay on meds you just do more and more damage.its a bitch but you have to take responsibility at some point.
Not if you’re Kanye West! Just keep making unfinished music and fail to meet music deadlines with your face covered and you can take all the COVID relief money you want for your ugly shoe company.
@@Unlikely_Pirate music deadlines ruin the art. and government money doesn't even matter anymore. Honestly kanye just needs to be a better person to his family and friends
@@Unlikely_Pirate fk are u on about?
@@CRAShOUT.RED.888 when COVID first hit his company took government relief money despite very much not needing it which we can deduce from his profit margins.
@@jakobesparza he made that deadline! He drummed up that hype. No one asked him to. And the money matters to the people that lost their job because Kanye took it from a company that could use it to keep their employee on the payroll.
I don't even like Kanye as a person, but so far I've been listening for half an hour and you've created such a compelling narrative about his life. Incredible work.
How can you say you don’t like someone you don’t know irl you just know how the media portrays him
@@Maya-yu6pg you could say that about a lot of people though. Besides, my issues are mostly - but not wholly - to do with raising eyebrows at his relationship to Orange Man Bad™, which seem super sus. As an artist he's goddamn fascinating and he sure knows how to remix a sample

Honestly, I'm impressed by the levels of edition this video has, I think this may be the best edited video on this platform, at least when it comes to something done by individuals instead of corporations. You should feel proud of that, because editing and your way of talking made this long video an easy ride, even when I had to stop watching a couple times because of time.
After watching this video, I can say my opinion about Kanye has shifted a little, but not that far from what I thought before, and it's not really a good thing. I understand and celebrate the guy being one of the most important names in hip hop history, both as a rapper and a producer, and I fully understand the media has a thing on him because he's become such an easy target, but when it comes to Kanye as a public figure, I think understanding him is far simpler than what lots of people tend to think:
Kanye seems to me a guy who wants to have his cake, and eat it too. He wants to be pretty much the advocate for people who struggles with mental illnesses (bipolar disorder in this case) while bragging about not getting the help he clearly needs because, and I quote, "pills kill his creativity." I don't really mind about the message he sends with that because, at the end of the day, he's a human and not a machine, but you can't use bipolar disorder as a shield to hide behind after doing shitty things and then refuse to act to improve as a person. Lots of people with bipolar disorder, or even more complicated issues with their mental health, at least try to understand their problems are not excuses to harm other people.
Let's be honest for a second: I fully agree Kanye doesn't deserve the constant harassment media put him under, but, did Taylor Swift deserve what happened to her at the VMAs, and then having her carreer almost destroyed by what both Kim and Kanye knew were lies? Did Billie Eilish deserve to be targeted by Kanye just because she cared for a fan not to die? Does Kim Kardashian deserve to be in a spot where she practically has to beg Kanye to stop posting all that stuff about her and their children online, just for him to post said conversation on his Instagram, all while being in a relationship with someone else? Patterns aside, if you think the answer to at least one of those questions is a no, then you understand my point. I'm all for humanizing Kanye, but not for dehumanizing the people he went against practically because yes.
To me, modern Kanye is not insane, and is actually a person pretty easy to understand. He's his own worst enemy, and his public role of believing himself a God truly got him at some point. The guy is a musical genius and I won't be the one who denies his legacy, but he has the resources to find the help he clearly needs, yet he refuses to get it because he practically surrounds himself with yes-men, and he knows he will have the support of lots of his fanbase regardless of what he does. Again, the man is in an incredible amount of pain I can't even imagine, but that's not an excuse to ignore his shitty behavior. That's not de-estigmatizing mental illnesses, that's adding another layer of misinformation.
The saddest part about this is that all of this has actually diminished my opinion on his music, not because "OMG THE GUY'S A MONSTER" because I listen to people who have said and done FAR worst shit than Kanye, but because... how am I supposed to believe the so-called introspection of his lyrics, when he falls over and over again to the traps he sets to himself? Put any of this next to a Mr. Morale or a Melt My Eyez, and there's no comparison in this. I honestly hope Kanye can redeem himself, but I see it more and more difficult each passing day.
This take is criminally under-liked. I honestly agree fully. I hope J doesn't idolize him as much now that all this information has come out. I don't get how people can romanticize people like Kanye, who time and time again prove their messed up actions to be repetitive.
Just addressing the last part of this, I do think despite his actions, the introspection is easily still very sincere. I've met despicable people who were so self aware at times, but keep falling into an unhealthy cycle. everyone does something for a reason and those people have to not just find a reason to strive for change, but a reason to not go back to how they were before. You can be self aware and in a toxic loop of behaviour at the same time, i think. Doesn't mean they're justified in how they act obviously, but that's how most of these situations are, nobody is ever just fucked up and crazy for no reason. As someone with bipolar, I think it should never serve as a blanket excuse for behavior, but it's sometimes a way to understand part of how someone ends up in a certain spot. With bipolar, you can be plenty introspective, but when a manic episode kicks in it can completely blind you to any rationality you held. It's a very inconsistent state of mind.
"how am I supposed to believe the so-called introspection of his lyrics, when he falls over and over again to the traps he sets to himself?"
Because he's unable to avoid them, doesn't mean he can't be aware of it.
@@user-xd7dt6gr8l I understand it, actually, since I've met people like that as well, but eventually it stops being introspection, to just become a cycle of self pity and misery-fetish to avoid any meaningful change in your ways. To this point, Kanye has all the resources money can buy to improve as a person, obviously including therapy, so I just can't fully buy this when, being more able to turn his life around than practically anyone reading this, consciously chooses not to.
@@Subzearo He's not unable to avoid them, he chooses to not do so. We're not talking about a homeless man on the corner ranting about aliens, we're talking about Kanye West, a man far more rich and powerful than any of us. I'm not going to say money can fix all problems in the world, but let's be honest: lots of people have to deal with shitty psychologists from social security because that's all they have access to, still manage to heal and (if needed) change their ways... and you expect people to feel sorry about a millionaire who has claimed he won't get help because he doesn't want it?
Of course the guy is not a monster, people are far more complicated than that, but no matter who you are, at some point, you have to take responsability for your actions.
This is literally a documentary!! You gave praise where it was due as well as criticism. This was amazing

I’m not really a fan either. But I do think it puts his outlandish behavior into perspective.

@@rosa-acicularis7368 I’m glad u really like his music mow
hmmmmm i think we might need another extension to this extended documentary circa 2022
Hmm. You can definitely tell this was video was produced by a fan. Good documentary on how revolutionary Kayne was, but it glosses over the parts the subject in the title of the video. After watching a few other videos on this channel beforehand, I was expecting a lot more of a deep dive into his actions and consequences of his behaviour over the fandom and gushing content. It's not bad, but I would definitely say the video title requires an update.
This has really opened my eyes on Kanye. I never liked him and the only people who liked him around me were just rap and hip-hop fans in general. I can surprisingly relate to him a lot, turns out. I have a lot of respect for him now and I hope he continues to focus on his music and his family and finds happiness. I hope he’s sincere when he says he wants to rechannel his personality into better causes. I may never buy and album or vote for him, but people who do are people I look forward to meeting and talking about him with. Thanks jaubry. I hope Kanye sees this and speaks highly of it (Edited for typos/grammar)

@kali Sian then your as delusional as him,try DMing him now that he got rid of his rebound,who knows you might end up becoming his next white wife which he'll up hating eventually and then become obsessed with after divorce
@@hannaansari2921 relax, why do you even care lol
@@hannaansari2921 I honestly wouldnt be surprised if he pulled a murder suicide he is acting like “if i cant have her no one will”
@@erinfreeman4367 yup yup!!
This is extremely outdated already. We need the remastered redux extended version
Now do the anti-semitism update.
This makes me feel really sad for Kanye there's only so many times a person can come back from that depth of depression.
You don’t.
@@moldymayo2653 bipolar here. It's a never ending cycle. Moments of reflection. It's always the same chaotic down and high. It's a circle. There is going back, which is why the manic episodes alone make bipolar one of the most severe conditions going. When I was diagnosed, a psychiatrist literally told me "you don't want this". It's a horrific cycle and if you don't get medication that works or proper treatment, you can't escape or even notice you're in the spiral.
Edit: I wish people with depression would acknowledge us bipolar folk have a different experience of many things you guys do. Please acknowledge we do not have a depression diagnosis
@@abzdudy1 Even when you think you have everything figured out and as stable as you can get, there is always the possibility (that will become true more often than not) that your medication, treatment and your coping mechanisms will just stop working for you and you have to restart your mental health journey from the start.
czcams.com/video/lDshbLJbWf8/video.html
@@abzdudy1 thanks Alice you could have made your own post, bipolar is still a spectrum I'm bipolar and still get depression it's almost like a person can have more than one diagnosis and often depression anxiety and others are linked it would be rare to just have "bipolar" and never feel depression, so thanks for your opinion tho.
I honestly think modern Kanye is a cry for help. Like dude literally went from having a phenomenal mother who was willing to rent a booth for her 13 year old because she saw something in him no one else did to being alone in the world. No woman or friend is going to hold up to Dr. Donda because that was his mother and his ultimate, number one, and first fan. I don't think (and I'd say he probably doesn't either) that anyone will love him as Dr. Donda did. And instead of getting help, he is spiraling on a large platform. Unfortunately, he's not unique. This isn't rare. People spiral when they parent die all the time. The only difference is he has the unfortunate circumstance of being put on a world stage and everyone watching him spiral. Dude needs to get help for himself, but unfortunately I don't think that will happen and no one else can help him because he's not a threat, he's just an outlandish figure we can all giggle at and thank our lucky stars where not him. Its sad
Agreed. It upsets me how publicized and excused his mental health symptoms are. When he does something that would get any one else admitted, everyone says that it’s just how Kanye rolls. He’s an artist.
No lmao. He’s a grown man with CHILDREN. He should be getting serious mental health help and should definitely step back from the public eye.
But he won’t cause the fame is a drug and he’s surrounded by yes men who go to whatever lengths to justify his outlandish behavior.
Yeah - when I heard about his mother I think everything clicked for me at last. I'm no fan but dude needs a good therapist.
Yeah - when I heard about his mother I think everything clicked for me at last. I'm no fan but dude needs a good therapist.
Exactly right!!!! I got to spin out on my shed floor for a year after my dad died... going through it all in its intensity.. in peace, with my husband not far away but no one out to gain anything by seeing me fall... sadly in a case like this he has no one to love him for the Kanye like his mama knew.., and even more importantly.. he has no one he can trust..
Really well-said.
definitely warrants a part 2 seeing the current events..
It's time for part two now.
Damn I know Kanye West messed up Swift’s speech but to bring up his mom, Leno is dirty for that. Like, if he really knew the extent of their relationship he should know he’s going for the hurt.
The way he just sat there after 🥺
I thought the same thing. That was wrong.
I don't know, I kind of thought it was a really good angle to take. That's the only time I'd seen Kanye feel like what he did was wrong there. And it absolutely was wrong and so disrespectful to Taylor Swift. He needed somebody to remind him of what his mom would have thought.
Contrary to popular belief, you shouldn't avoid talking to people who are grieving about the loved one they lost. People who have lost loved ones often say they wish people would do it more often. Even though the loss is sad, it's comforting to talk about their loved one. I get that this is a little different since he is admonishing him, but I feel like even here, it was a little bit of tough love.
I think he was suffering from a lot mentally and he could have used a reminder of his mother from someone who cares in private as a push for Kanye to get some help. Leno was so out of line to do that publicly and because of the way he did it, it’s clear he didn’t care about him. When people suffer from bpd, they can do stupid stuff. Really stupid stuff. They need understanding, not public shaming. I’m sure Leno saying that did not help him so, what’s the point? If people think that would make him to take responsibility for what he did or face the consequences, they clearly don’t understand what it’s like to struggle the way he has mentally. He’s not facing his actions, he’s being sent further down the spiral he is already on.
I maintain that 808’s and Heartbreak is the most influential album for the 21st century, so many genres and albums owe their success to Kanye’s innovation and experimentation on it, plus his willingness to expose his emotions fully.
There's no doubt in his music being influential but the claim that his albums are the most influential for the 21st century is absolutely ridiculous, especially given that we're still at the beginning of the 21st century.
That album was everythinf
@@mechanomics2649 i mean so far it is the most influential tho
Agreed
im so mad he's a shitty person because his (earlier) music absolutely SLAPS
guess this video needs a part two now….
And pt3
That Traumatic Brain Injury is probably what gave him the genius and the madness. TBI really changes people.
I really believe after his mom passed, his mental health spiraled downward FAST.
Seeing what Kanye's been up to since you posted the initial documentary, I always wondered what this doc would look like in light of that. You can imagine how excited I was to see this!! Thanks for the amazing work as always!
Considering the last few months, I think this is in DIRE need of an update! Jesus Christ!
What a wonderful man. I'm sure he'll grow to be a mature husband and great father and will continue to defy hatred against marginalised people.
...as long as you're not Jewish, apparently
yeah 🙃
And will certainly never fall further from grace and stand on the side of oppressors
He’s a great father but yeahhh
😂😂😂 good one
He actually went and did it again.. Your dedication is genuinely astounding and I really hope for you that this one doesn't get taken down - Mad respect for the effort and amazing job!
It's kind of insane to hear about how this man has a lot of ideals that I do really agree with. Things like police reform and the damage caused by the war on drugs, and things like that.
Yet he stood behind Trump, the antithesis of those ideals.
@@mechanomics2649 which is absolute insanity to think about! This guy talked about how Bush didn't care about black people live on air!!! What was he doing!?
They aren't his ideas, he read, or more likey heard about them from someone way smarter than him and he just parroted them. He's thee type of person who just repeats the last thing he hears
@@matthewgabbard6415 Hard disagree. Kanye is a very intelligent person. He assesses situations and makes conscious decisions. He chooses the most controversial decision he can make in any situation. You can see it if you look at his entire career. Bush. Taylor. Trump. It's all part of the same pattern.
@@yukii1730 Being a contrarian doesn't sound very intelligent at all.
As someone who is extremely musically uneducated, and has really only known him in respect of him goin crazy in the current day media, as well as the Taylor Swift chaos … your amazing documentary has given me some mad respect for him by now knowing and understanding his full background and history. Im very interested to see what you have to say about the current day insanity!
Thank you so much for this!!! I've never been a Kanye fan, but I started to feel increasingly concerned, shocked and saddened at how the media and public were treating him during a very clear, mental health crisis. I'm so glad you really humanised Kanye again, for reminding us all he is a person, and a desperately sad and very sick one at times, at that. He deserves all the love and support anyone else does during his difficult times and understanding to his mental health troubles. Spectacular documentary x
First off; beautiful documentary with incredible editing and work ethic. Two, I rewatched Kanye saying “Bush doesn’t care about black people” several times, it was so perfect. And third, while I agree with alot of your points, I do think that some more critical perspectives towards Kanye were maybe skimmed over. Im diagnosed with bipolar along with adhd, both can cause extreme volatile emotions or difficulty regulating those emotions, which I can see in Kanye and acknowledge, but when I finished your video, I just felt like there was no responsibility to be held for Kanye. And I was confused if I was the outlier in this opinion as someone in the bipolar community, but as I scroll through the comments, I see that a good amount of people with bipolar seem to agree that there wasn’t much responsibility pinned to Kanye. I learned a lot about Kanye in this video, but I don’t know if this so much delved deep into ALL the madness of Kanye, or just the easily justified and explainable madness. Bipolar is a bitch, don’t get me wrong, but having the finances and resources to get medication and therapy puts this a bit more into perspective compared to those who live in poverty and will never be able to have access to those things. Kanye was able to be diagnosed and get therapy and medications, but the next moment he’s bragging about “not negotiating with therapists”. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t use your bipolar disorder as an excuse to say horrible shit about slavery or your wife’s private medical history, put your family through terrible times, and borderline stalk your ex wife and threaten her new bf and treat her as property, all the while joking about not giving a fuck about therapy and meds. Not only that, but alot of his fan base refuse to even acknowledge this horrifying behavior towards his ex spouse, which is something I feel should have been disposed in a video that is about uncovering his madness. Kanye has always had the resources to get help, he’s had his family hold his hand and ask him to get help. Bipolar doesn’t automatically make you act entitled to your ex who is a whole human being. That’s just a part of being a shit person. A part of it will always be the celebrity ego, that’s understandable and bound to happen, or the mania, but he doesn’t get to treat others like trash and act like an abusive ex and have it labeled as bipolar. I don’t want that labeling my community. Kanye can blow off all the meds and therapy that a normal bipolar person would need to function in society because he has the money and power to act outside of therapy. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to be held accountable to the normal society morality, or baseline morality. So all in all, very well done video in reviewing Kanye as an artist and in dissecting the moments that can be lightly brushed away without delving into too much
I think there's more than enough videos out there criticizing ye. It was nice to see one just unbiasedly telling his life story.
@@candiceball772 nah it was pretty biased
He rarely even lives in that house. He bought it to stay when he visits his kids. Nobody related to Kim or Ye accused him of stalking. And the threatening stuff is a basic rap bar. It's not like he sent GDs to threaten her bf. Also, let's not forget that Kim was not letting him see his kids and the Kardashians have been spreading false stories about him through TMZ and Page Six for months now
Smart lady he’s not normal it’s not bipolar it the devil
@@kay7293 Yeah- I honestly enjoyed hearing about ye's life but that wasn't the title of the video-the video was supposed to review the more controversial aspects of ye, hence the "madness" title, but it just seemed to glaze over the scandals, and the scandals that it did go over seemed to be the more easily explained away ones, that's why it felt biased for me as well.
This is literally one of the best produced, researched and made videos I have ever seen on CZcams. You deserve to have a sub count in the millions. Thanks for this hard work. The way your weaved his songs into your narrative is almost film like. This way above the standard of most creators of this genre. In many ways a creative opus in your own right.
Well said!
We’re beyond saying “He made Graduation tho!” As of now he has become a Black skinhead
I recall at one point, Kanye has said he doesn’t take medication for his bipolar disorder bc he said he “believed it interfered w [his] creativity”. But it’s very clear it is interfering w his life. It breaks my heart every time he publicly struggles w his disorder, bc even w medication bipolar disorder is something that’s difficult to deal with and manage, but he’s raw dogging it for no reason.
There’s not no reason. He’s a professional creator and doesn’t want his mind fucked with. Those meds can put people in a weird place and some just prefer to be Bi Polar.
If you need to rely on mental illness to be creative, you're not creative, you're just ill.
@@willissudweeks1050 Clearly someone who doesn't HAVE bipolar.
There's nothing worse when you have it.
Go ahead and look up the statistics on suicides for people with bipolar, schizo and bpd.
I took meds for my anxiety and depression. I used to be an artist and I've been on meds for 3 years. I haven't drew anything in those years. It's hard to come up with ideas, I get no inspiration and drawing feels pointless to me. Yeah my emotions are stable but it sacrificed my talent for stability.
this was fucking amazing mate, from the editing to the script, music analysis, and incredible presentation of literally everything. 20/10, would recommend, hope it doesn't get deleted into oblivion :)
yeah this got even worse now
It’s crazy to see this drop within a week of “Jeen-Yuhs.” It’s an overload of Kanye being deconstructed and reviewed as a person and an artist. He’s a human. A hurting and loving, sometimes incorrect, brilliant and even harmful person.
I’m glad these two documentaries made people realize that. I hope he (and, yes, Kim and his children) get the help that they need.
"Kim and *his* children" they're not his, they're theirs.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's a neo nazi
One of the greatest artists of all time. Most people that refuse to recognise his mastery of the craft, likely haven't actually listened to it
Very true.
Maybe he is the Bowie of this era...
So Dope this is back on youtube, one of the best documentarys I have ever seen !!!
I watched the original like 10 times. I didn’t know this even had more. This is so good. I genuinely love this video. Thank you for the hard work
this video humanised him to me but i've lost any respect that i gained for him in the last few weeks. he has been acting so abusive and harming his family. he is old enough and rich enough that he could afford the best guidance, therapy, treatment and care available to mitigate the potential harm of when he is in a manic episode but he doesn't because he's an egomaniac even when he's not manic.
his wealth has nothing to do with it, if he is in denial about his illness no amount of persuading will help him he needs to want help.
What he do
I respect that he doesn’t want North on a social media site not open to children.
@@brittajacobson2523 i think that's fine too but if he is so concerned about her privacy why is he constantly talking about her and their family issues in public and going on rants about his kids on the internet for the entire world to see? it is hypocritical
@@brittajacobson2523 he's so concerned about her privacy that he's constantly talking publicly & showing text messages about her with his ex wife...he's only concerned about her privacy when he has no control of it.
"No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness." - Aristotle
Do you know which book or letter this is from by Aristotle, because I've seen this quote around before and as far as I know it's misattributed to him cuz nobody knows where its from.
@@DoctorZtormtrooper I'm a CZcams comment not a historian lol. Try looking for research papers that site the history of the quote.
Either way the meaning matters more rather than who it originates from at it stands on its own feet with it's own merit.
@@Touriquette " I'm a CZcams comment not a historian lol. "
I didn't expect you to be one, but I was hoping you would know where a quote is from before writing it down and attributing it to someone.
"Either way the meaning matters more rather than who it originates from"
Ideally yes, in reality this isn't the case. People love quoting intellectuals, because it makes them feel like they are on the same tier as them. Which is why people misattribute quotes to them a lot.
Regardless quote is nice, though reductive because of its snappiness.
@@DoctorZtormtrooper If i made it any longer people would've ignored it and blown it off lol. Personally I think that being concise with your point is as important as explaining yourself adequately. Also making it a quote makes people think they should pay attention, so its a mixed bag I guess.
Some sites do historical analysis of quotes so one of them should help you if you so desire.
@@Touriquette I think you'd be right about longer comments being ignored, but I don't think putting "quote"- Aristotle (supposedly), or "quote" - anonymous, would push anyone away, unless people actually care about who said it.
"Personally I think that being concise with your point is as important as explaining yourself adequately"
I agree, efficient explaining is valuable. Snappy quotes are efficient at getting you to think about something, though the nuance level is reader determined.
Referring to Kim as "Pete Davison’s girlfriend" is spicy Jaubry. I like it.
Every time I find a video of someone’s history it’s always right before the craziest shit happens. Why does this keep happening
Dude... I feel so differently about Kanye after this. I really never listened to his music so I didn't actually understand his influence in music. Plus, I feel dumb for forgetting to question the way the media presents things, knowing full well they twist it up for entertainment and money. This is such a good reminder, not only for Kanye, but for everything.
Dude if you’ve never listened to Kanye I recommend otherwise, my life changed fr
Bet you’re feeling it now, huh
How about now? @@bimbgusbomgus2861
The first one was already an incredible video, so thank you for revisiting it. I haven't even watched it yet, but I know it's going to be another masterpiece. Thank you for all the care you put in your videos.
Two years after the last documentary, a year after you made me a fan of Kanye West you come back and bless me with more....
Thank you.
Gonna need a whole new video now
Oh, we thought him siding with a political figure like Trump was bad. Here after dude literally said "I like Hitler" 💀
We need a new term for “0 to 100”
man may be considered crazy, but the man was an absolute bleeding heart for his momma and that's respectable
It really can’t be understated how monumental his contribution to the hip hop music world was when he produced the blueprint 2 for Jay Z. It would be the first time Kanye completely changed the music industry by creating a sound with Jay Z that would be replicated throughout the 2000s across mainstream hip hop and pop.
As you mentioned in the video sampling has always been a part of hip hop. But In the 90s sampling had gone through more of a decade of being out of style in the mainstream. People favored beats from producers like Timbaland and Swiss beats that were all synthesized. They were still sampling sounds but a sample wasn’t the feature of the beat.
Also, most rappers were making albums with a different producer for each track. So when Jay Z dropped his magnum opus with only one producer, an unknown college kid, with samples? It was revolutionary and changed the game. Sampling in hip hop can de divided into two groups, before Kanye and after Kanye.
Then, when 808s came out. There was no singing in rap. You either sang R&B or you rapped. You did not do both. When he dropped that album it was so unorthodox I remember a lot of people, myself included, didn’t like the album. It was also very emo. Again, hip hop was rarely emotional. Never vulnerable. He wasn’t gangster that’s fine. We kind of overlooked that one. But singing about a breakup or about your feelings?? I think we take it for granted now that it was a masterpiece but day 1? Hip hop heads were divided. But then we listened to it a few more times and we’re like nah we can’t deny this is amazing. And that paved the way for Drake and for the emo rappers of today.
Paved the way for bad rappers and imitation
Drake is so wack can’t even write ✍🏽 HOWS the education in America 🇺🇸 are you guys on drugs
A lot of it is sampled- capitalism is so unoriginal it’s theft
Lol most of black African history
Y’all stop this is embarrassing because they don’t even enrich you but white girls and white producers
Are you stupid
Originality is talent
Theft, appropriation, slavery is the devil love ♥️
Love this!! Best comment ever! Thanks for sharing!!
Commenting for the algorithm but also to highlight what amazing quality this is.
No Netflix documentary could’ve done it better and CZcams is free. Awesome job with this!
Love him or hate him he makes bangers of songs and has made a huge impact on the music industry
Man heard that the Netflix documentary might be getting delayed and stepped up to the plate. Gotta respect it.
The original Kanye video was what pushed me to subscribe to you, and I have not regretted it. What I've always loved about this video was that to me, it felt like a tribute to Kanye's work and his life done in a very respectful manner. It delivered a much greater, raw insight into his character, and going back and listening to his music after this hits in a totally different way. So glad this is not only back up, but extended!
Don’t... demons... tay.
While I do feel bad for him on the car accident, his mother’s death, his bipolar disorder, what he has done in the past 7 years should not be brushed off with a “oh he has bipolar disorder”. I agree with Bassey Ikpi in that bipolar is not an excuse but a reason, however, it does bring up that maybe his support for Tr*mp and him wanting to run for president is what he does believe, it has just been magnified tenfold by bipolar.
And this is from someone with bipolar disorder.
Im pretty sure hes not actually a trump fan he just wanted to troll obama he also wanted to get his voice and opinions out there politically and just sorta was like “eh this guy will do”
The fact you censored Trump's name is hilarious to me. 😂
Trumps name really holds enough power over you that you feel the need to censor it? You’re also so full of yourself that you think people aren’t even allowed to support who they want? Yuck.
I’m not even a trump guy but your insinuation that someone needs some kind of excuse to like him is ridiculous and you need to check your ego.
I think he did it to piss off the "he's black so he must be pro-leftist" crowd
time to work on the downward spiral anti semitism arc
This was such a fantastic video. You could tell the creator had deep respect and empathy for Kanye, but he also wasn't afraid to be critical when necessary. That's the kind of balanced approach you don't always see.
Thanks for writing your “mess of a tangent” - I hadn’t seen your original and after looking up the definition of “redux” I was interested to know why you were reviving a documentary. I don’t know much about Ye but I’m super excited to learn more especially through 2 hours of jaubrey content.
Where gonna a need re:redux
Through the wire is one of my favorite songs by Kanye and I never knew the powerful story behind it. Excellent job on this documentary!
I remember this intro music being the most exquisite I've ever heard. I remember on NXIRE's channel people were saying he shouldn't have sold this and/or labelled it his own composition; I think you made a great investment with that specific "type beat."
Thankyou for giving such a thorough analytical breakdown of Ye whilst being empathetic and respectful of him as a person yet not over glorifying him as a fan!!! I think this breakdown is so important for everyone to understand that hes a person not an idol
Its all good guys he watched 21 jump street
Can’t wait for the sequel
Netflix WHO??? Jeen-yuhs WHO???????
Sorry “Jeen-yus” I’m going to let you finish but “unraveling the madness of Kanye West” is the best YE doc of all time!
this didnt age well, stepped away from politics my ass.
aged like milk ngl, need a part 2 or an update
I have never once listened to Kanye so I'm pretty taken aback by how deep his music is
The, "I just want to be a real boy" segment made me cry so hard. Broke my heart. Your fandom,, has inspired your genius. Bravo 👏.
This honestly deserves more views on how great this is (and this is coming from a guy that hates pop/rap/hip-hop music, and likes rock/pop-punk music) but also how much effort and possibly endless research that this took to create, keep going mate, I see this as a great opportunity to do greater things
Not gonna lie if Michael Jackson told me I could sing I would act the exact same way.
