Kanye “Ye” West Makes Surprise Appearance at the Screening of Netflix Doc ‘jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy’
“This journey started in Chicago back in the ’90s when there was a Chicago Renaissance,” J. Ivy said to the audience. “This is a historic moment — driven by heart, driven by passion, to document this history that was happening in Chicago … that vision that turned into something so incredible, into something so beautiful, it turned into history.”
Another particularly poignant moment shows West’s late mother, Donda West, admiring one of his new gold chains , depicting an angel. “You know what? You need an angel to watch over you,” she says, which in hindsight lands like a premonition. Faith in the unseen is a golden thread that runs through the documentary — and Ye’s life, too — leading him through the labyrinth of his creations and his celebrity. On Friday night after the screening concluded, the room quieted into prayer, as Ye and his close associates bowed their heads in tandem with the audience, grateful for the decades-long journey that had ultimately led to the present moment.
Ye, the genius, the Afrofuturist, the unlikely producer-turned-rapper who is as much respected as he is criticized, influenced the immersive experience hosted by Netflix. Each room illuminated the relationship between the past and the future, much like the documentary chronicles Ye’s life pre- and post-fame.
