despite the problems with kanye (which are many-storied), it is an objectively amazing thing to have had a filmmaker following him around NYC and Chicago right before and during the time in which he ended up getting a record deal and crafting his first album.

cinema verité is the dominant mode throughout—the camera a witness and also an audience against which Kanye develops a media persona.

While I am generally skeptical of literally everything that Netflix does (television and films algorithmically optimized to be addictive), sometimes the giant wads of cash that they have to throw around result in something amazing, which I believe to be the case here.

Full judgement to be reserved till I reach the end.
