00:01:16,367 --> 00:01:18,369
[Chike] Rhymefest right there.
30
00:01:18,453 --> 00:01:20,538
And also, I got Coodie on the camera.
31
00:01:21,706 --> 00:01:24,375
Me and, um, Fest got into
an argument in the car.
32
00:01:24,459 --> 00:01:26,294
I feel like he disrespected me, man.
33
00:01:26,377 --> 00:01:28,129
Tried to say I wasn't a genius yet.
34
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:30,465
[Rhymefest] You ain't a genius yet, man.
35
00:01:30,548 --> 00:01:32,467
It take time, man.
36
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:35,804
Genius is developed through experience
and through hardship, man.
37
00:01:35,887 --> 00:01:37,472
[man] How do you know what genius is?
38
00:01:37,555 --> 00:01:38,890
[Rhymefest] 'Cause I saw it.
39
00:01:38,973 --> 00:01:40,600
We was in the studio with Jay-Z.
40
00:01:40,683 --> 00:01:43,019
I saw genius for the first time
in my life,
41
00:01:43,102 --> 00:01:44,604
and that's what I was saying to you.
42
00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:48,358
I thought you was a genius until
I saw Jay-Z make a rap in five minutes,
43
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:52,111
then I was like, "Maybe Kanye's brilliant,
but Jay-Z is a genius."
44
00:01:52,195 --> 00:01:54,155
You shouldn't say
that it's not genius because
45
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:57,033
look at the hundred thousand
different things I'm ready to do.
46
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:58,785
-Okay.
-Yeah. I'm focused on that.
47
00:01:58,868 --> 00:02:00,954
But who are you to call yourself a genius?
48
00:02:01,037 --> 00:02:03,998
It's for other people to look at you
and say, "That man's a genius."
49
00:02:04,082 --> 00:02:07,252
To feel disrespected 'cause
somebody don't think you're something,
50
00:02:07,335 --> 00:02:10,045
you gotta get yourself together, man.
I mean, genius,
51
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,924
-you know what I'm sayin'? A genius work.
-No, no, no. Hold on.
52
00:02:13,007 --> 00:02:15,301
I just felt like that was real funny
for me to be like,
53
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:17,804
for me to even get offended by you
not calling me a genius.
54
00:02:17,887 --> 00:02:19,222
Like, how arrogant is that?
55
00:02:20,348 --> 00:02:22,142
[Rhymefest] Hey, play that "Jesus Walks."
56
00:02:22,225 --> 00:02:23,601

Check one, two.
What's up y'all? This is Coodie.
68
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,323
You know, "Spaceship" video shoot.
Kanye West directing.
69
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:01,908
It's gonna be hot.

Aight? Holla back.
71
00:04:05,036 --> 00:04:08,456
[Coodie] After Kanye won three Grammys
for The College Dropout,
72
00:04:08,539 --> 00:04:10,959
we were all excited
to see what the future held.
73

-[man 1] What up, Coodie?
-[Coodie] What up?

[man 2] How you feel?
75
00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:16,297
-Chilling, man.
-[Coodie] What up?
76
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:18,591
[Coodi] I wasn't
filming him day-to-day anymore,
77
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:22,720
but I would still show up with my camera
and lend my support when I could.
78
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:29,102
Hey, did Plain Pat hit you about, uh,
coming to these Jon Brion sessions?
79
00:04:31,688 --> 00:04:35,525
[Coodie] Kanye had started working on
his sophomore album Late Registration.
80
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:40,780
Just the tiniest bit less vibrato,
but in that sort of quiet range.

82
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:44,284

-[music playing over speakers]
-It's like real production, right?
84
00:04:48,246 --> 00:04:50,415
[Coodie] And now that I had
all the footage I needed,
85
00:04:50,498 --> 00:04:53,376
I thought it would be a good time
for me to finally start
86
00:04:53,459 --> 00:04:55,253
putting the documentary together.

-[Kanye] We can go upstairs right now.
88

[Coodie] But I guess things change
when you get famous.
89
00:05:04,012 --> 00:05:07,098
Because Kanye said he wasn't ready
for the world to see the real him.
90
00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:08,850
Drop that shit.

like everybody else.
99
00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:31,789
Kanye West is known
as an innovative producer
100
00:05:31,873 --> 00:05:34,083
who has graduated to A-list status.
101
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:37,712
[reporter 1] All-talent rap artist
Kanye West will take center stage.
102

[reporter 2] Today, the star garners
acclaim on his sophomore release,
103
00:05:41,049 --> 00:05:42,216
Late Registration.
104
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,969
Kanye West, that was lovely.
Thank you so much.
105
00:05:45,053 --> 00:05:46,471
Kanye means, "The appointed one"?
106
00:05:46,554 --> 00:05:48,014
Kanye means "The only one."
107
00:05:48,097 --> 00:05:49,140
-"The only one"?
-Yeah.
108
00:05:49,223 --> 00:05:50,933
-It's kind of appropriate.

You did it again!

[Kanye]
"What's the biggest thing in hip-hop?"
111
00:05:56,397 --> 00:05:59,400
If I say, "Me," it comes off
as arrogant to people.
112
00:05:59,484 --> 00:06:03,696
To some kids right now,
I am what Michael Jackson was to me.
113
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:05,990
I had heard that you were really arrogant.
114
00:06:06,074 --> 00:06:08,409
-Yeah, I heard that too.
-[Oprah] I heard that you…
115
00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:11,287
I heard that
you were really, like, out of control.
116
00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:14,123
George Bush doesn't care
about Black people.

[Mike] Please call…
118
00:06:16,834 --> 00:06:19,462

a stranger to controversy.
119
00:06:19,545 --> 00:06:21,464
-[reporter 2] That's not true.
-He's outspoken.

[reporter 3] I thought Kanye West
was blisteringly brilliant.
121
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:26,302
[reporter 4] Many felt
Bush didn't like Black people.
122
00:06:26,385 --> 00:06:30,348
[Kanye] Don't point the camera at me
if you don't want me to say how I feel.
123
00:06:30,431 --> 00:06:34,352
If I don't win,
the award show loses credibility.
124
00:06:34,936 --> 00:06:38,106
[Kanye] I fight for what I think
is the best at the time.
125
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:40,942
I was just being an advocate
for what was the best out there,

-which just so happened to be me.

[Kanye] Well, I just stand up
for what I believe in.
129
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:50,284
It's like, that's what
my parents taught me.
130
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:52,703
[Donda] Because Kanye knew
that I listened to him,
131
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:56,040
then he really didn't have
a big problem listening to me.
132
00:06:56,124 --> 00:06:57,667
There are so many sides of Kanye.
133
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:00,169
So many aspects of his life
that people don't know about.
134
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:02,421
Mm-hmm. I think
he's a spectacular young man.
135
00:07:02,505 --> 00:07:04,006
I think he's very special.
136
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:05,466
You've said. You're a mama's boy.
137

You love your mama,

It's one of my favorite songs.

158
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:25,171
I made sure to get to his after-party.
159
00:08:25,755 --> 00:08:28,925
And take it back
to what first brought us all together.

I did a few things for him,

Yo! Coodie! Chike!
167
00:08:48,444 --> 00:08:51,280
That video was amazing!
168
00:08:51,364 --> 00:08:53,783
I'm getting drunk. We just won Grammys.
169
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:56,327
This is the next, like, Oscar winner.
170
00:08:56,410 --> 00:08:58,120
Watch. Remember I said that.

00:08:58,204 --> 00:08:59,997

00:09:15,763 --> 00:09:17,807
[Kanye] Hey, we gotta get
some Channel Zero in.
179
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:20,685
Jermaine Dupri party, we was doing
Channel Zero, but now…
180
00:09:20,768 --> 00:09:23,813
It's our party. A GOOD Music party.
It's a GOOD Music event.
181

I'm with my man, Chike.

-I'm drinking.
-Are you drunk, nigga?
184
00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:30,861
Hey, we grew up together.
185
00:09:30,945 --> 00:09:32,905
Don't act like I don't know your name.
186
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:34,865
What happened is, Bono had some wine.
187
00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:36,534
We was flying on a private jet.
188
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:39,704
I gotta show how you flickin'.
How you flickin', G. How you flickin'?
189
00:09:39,787 --> 00:09:42,373
I'm flicking like Rick James, bitch.

191
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:45,418
Just some rock star shit.

00:09:49,547 --> 00:09:53,009
Look. I'm doing the interview, all right?
You want me to do the interview.
194
00:09:53,092 --> 00:09:55,678
Channel Zero is in the house.
We doin' it big.
195
00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:58,097
Grammys. Kanye. Winning.
196
00:09:58,180 --> 00:10:00,433
But, like, tell them
how we get down, though.
197
00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:02,643
Tell them how we get down in Chi-Town.
198
00:10:02,727 --> 00:10:04,645
Man. Let me tell you how the Chi is, man.
199
00:10:04,729 --> 00:10:06,981
I got all my Chi niggas out here.
200
00:10:07,064 --> 00:10:09,275

Nigga, I'm gone. Man, come on.

210
00:10:33,841 --> 00:10:34,925
Yeah, I'm not drunk.
211
00:10:35,009 --> 00:10:36,969
-I just had three beers.
-That's it.
212
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:39,430
Shout-out to Channel Zero.
From 2006, shout-out!
213
00:10:39,513 --> 00:10:40,640
Hey, look.
214
00:10:40,723 --> 00:10:41,849
Hey, Chike, come on.

00:10:41,932 --> 00:10:43,225
-Chike. [laughs]
-Kanye…

Look, he about to get violated. [laughs]
217
00:10:47,563 --> 00:10:48,397
Hey, Coo.
218
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:50,399
I just got buried behind him.
219
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:53,110
Hey, this my man, Coodie.
I'm just fucking with him.
220
00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:55,696
He did the "Through the Wire" video,
"Jesus Walks,"
221
00:10:55,780 --> 00:10:57,615
one of my coldest videos ever.
222
00:10:57,698 --> 00:11:00,534
Amen. This man in front of the screen,
behind the screen.
223
00:11:00,618 --> 00:11:02,453
This is my man. He been on the team.
224
00:11:02,536 --> 00:11:05,456
I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for this man right here.
225
00:11:05,539 --> 00:11:07,625
Hey. Channel Zero.
226
00:11:08,125 --> 00:11:10,795
It's a new day, baby.
It feels good to be home.
227
00:11:10,878 --> 00:11:12,838
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
228
00:11:12,922 --> 00:11:14,924
It's on and poppin', baby.
229
00:11:15,007 --> 00:11:16,133
Kanye to the--
230
00:11:16,634 --> 00:11:17,635
We doin' it.
231
00:11:17,718 --> 00:11:18,844
Winning Grammys.
232
00:11:18,928 --> 00:11:21,097
Now, it's time for some Oscars.
We're early.
233
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:22,056
Act like it.
234
00:11:24,475 --> 00:11:27,395
Nigga, you're too buggin' for
calling me Chike. We're going this way.
235
00:11:27,478 --> 00:11:29,146
[indistinct chatter]
236
00:11:31,607 --> 00:11:32,775
[Coodie] I can't front.
237
00:11:33,317 --> 00:11:34,819
After all this time,
238
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:39,156
it kind of hurt realizing that
I was now on the outside looking in.
239
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:43,160
But it was okay, though.
240
00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:47,164
Because something special
was about to come into my life.
241
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:50,459
[doctor] We'll have the baby
for at least five to ten minutes
242
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:51,961
over there in the warmer.
243
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:54,213
If the baby's stable, we can show the mom.
244
00:11:54,296 --> 00:11:55,798
-[Coodie] Okay, cool.
-All right.
245
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:57,550
[indistinct chatter]
246
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:00,928
[Coodie] How y'all doing? What's up?
247
00:12:01,011 --> 00:12:01,846
[woman] Hello.
248
00:12:01,929 --> 00:12:02,972
[Coodie] Hey. Hi.
249
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:04,390
You okay, baby?
250
00:12:05,349 --> 00:12:06,892
It's gonna be all right, okay?
251
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:11,522
[Coodie] My daughter was supposed
to be born in November.
252
00:12:12,523 --> 00:12:15,109
But she decided to come
two and half months early.
253
00:12:16,777 --> 00:12:17,903
Ivy.
254
00:12:17,987 --> 00:12:20,239
You're gonna be cool, Ivy. I'll see you.
255
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:23,701
[doctor] She's really small,
but she's gonna be okay, all right?
256
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:25,161
-[Coodie] Cool.
-Looking good.
257
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,955
[Coodie] What a day. She's here.
258
00:12:28,497 --> 00:12:31,459
-Ivy came just a little early, baby.
-[doctor] That's all.
259
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:33,502
-[laughing]
-[Coodie's wife] She's fitting in.
260
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:34,753
[doctor] You named her?
261
00:12:34,837 --> 00:12:37,047
[Coodie] Ivy Dominique. I-V-Y.
That's my middle name.
262
00:12:37,131 --> 00:12:38,466
-Ivy.
-[doctor] Oh, okay. Ivy.
263
00:12:38,966 --> 00:12:41,177
[Coodie]
When I met Ivy for the first time,
264
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:46,891
in that moment, I swear,
my entire perspective on life changed.
265
00:12:48,517 --> 00:12:50,769
Baby. Look at you, Ivy.
266
00:12:51,562 --> 00:12:54,815
-Look, she got my eyes.
-Look at those beautiful eyes.
267
00:12:57,193 --> 00:12:59,195
[Coodie]
I was no longer living just for me.
268
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:05,493
From now on, I knew I'd be living for her.
269
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:07,077
[Coodie's wife] Hold Daddy finger.
270
00:13:07,161 --> 00:13:10,080
There. Hold on to the finger, baby.
271
00:13:10,664 --> 00:13:12,416
[Coodie] Ivy, we gonna document you.
272
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,126
You're about to be a superstar.
273
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:17,630
You're about to be a superstar, Ivy.
274
00:13:19,715 --> 00:13:21,300
[indistinct chatter]
275
00:13:23,177 --> 00:13:24,887
[Coodie] By the time I had Ivy,
276
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:27,056
I didn't have a number on Kanye.
277
00:13:27,598 --> 00:13:31,685
Pretty much the only time I was around,
was when Mama West would call me
278
00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:33,771
to document different parts of her life.
279
00:13:34,563 --> 00:13:37,149
And then I have a lot of pictures
at the house.
280
00:13:37,858 --> 00:13:40,819
The one thing that I like
about this family. All the babies,
281
00:13:40,903 --> 00:13:42,613
everybody can talk.
282
00:13:42,738 --> 00:13:46,283
You gotta know what to say.
You just can't be talkin'.
283
00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:50,329
[Coodie] So, when Donda asked me
to put together
284
00:13:50,412 --> 00:13:53,040
a promo video for her
and Kanye's new foundation,
285
00:13:53,958 --> 00:13:56,168
I flew out to Chicago to get it done.
286
00:14:03,634 --> 00:14:05,219
[man] All right, hold on for a second.
287
00:14:05,302 --> 00:14:07,096
[Donda] Okay. Thank you very much.
288
00:14:07,221 --> 00:14:11,475
I just wanted to take just a brief minute
to welcome you.
289
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,060
And to say how happy we are
290
00:14:13,143 --> 00:14:16,855
that you guys have joined us today.
You get the behind-the-scenes view.
291
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:18,691
And then of course,
Kanye is gonna come out
292
00:14:18,774 --> 00:14:20,192
and you'll see him work as well.
293
00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:23,320
So, thank you so much.
We really are glad you're here.
294
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:26,282
So, I'mma play "Touch the Sky"?
295
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:28,492
[woman] "Touch the Sky."
296
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:31,662
["Touch the Sky" playing over speakers]
297
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:39,920
I promised this crowd,
just to take three questions.
298
00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:43,173
Hi!
299
00:14:43,257 --> 00:14:44,592
-[woman] Hi.
-[boy] Hi.
300
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:47,177
I bet you don't know who I am.
301
00:14:47,261 --> 00:14:48,721
[audience clamors]
302
00:14:50,014 --> 00:14:52,766
Okay. Guess what? Time goes so fast.
303
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:55,352
And I've been told
that your buses are out there.
304
00:14:55,436 --> 00:14:58,314
So, Kanye is going to
pause this for a second.
305
00:14:58,397 --> 00:15:00,024
He has to finish his rehearsal,
306
00:15:00,107 --> 00:15:02,526
be at a press conference,
a million other things.
307
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:04,653
But we wanted to get in
just a few questions.
308
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:06,947
Any questions for Kanye?
309
00:15:09,074 --> 00:15:12,036
[man] Hey, Kanye, I was wondering,
how are you gonna change hip-hop
310
00:15:12,119 --> 00:15:14,330
with your new next album, Graduation?
311
00:15:15,539 --> 00:15:18,751
Uh. Yeah. I definitely like
this album the best.
312
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:21,503
One of the things with Graduation,
we're just pushing.
313
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,297
One of the reasons I called it Graduation
314
00:15:23,380 --> 00:15:25,007
is 'cause I feel like, I'm over.
315
00:15:25,090 --> 00:15:28,218
I'm at this point where I can really feel…
316
00:15:28,302 --> 00:15:30,596
You know, it's like,
my mom always taught me
317
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:33,140
you have to believe it first.
318
00:15:33,223 --> 00:15:36,477
I had to believe
that I can make it into the game first.
319
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,605
That was one of the first things.
And I believed it and willed it.
320
00:15:39,688 --> 00:15:42,524
And they say "overconfident"
like that's a bad thing.
321
00:15:42,608 --> 00:15:45,736
I think overconfident,
maybe that needs to be a bad word.
322
00:15:45,819 --> 00:15:48,197
How can you be overconfident?
323
00:15:48,781 --> 00:15:50,449
You should be overconfident.
324
00:15:50,532 --> 00:15:51,909
You should have more confidence!
325
00:15:51,992 --> 00:15:53,953
People should have
more confidence in themselves.
326
00:15:54,036 --> 00:15:56,664
But, they always say,
people that fade into the gray.
327
00:15:56,747 --> 00:15:59,541
People who put their head down
and act like, "Okay."
328
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:01,585
You know, you do something really good…
329
00:16:02,127 --> 00:16:05,714
And we supposed to be like,
"Oh, man, that song was dope."
330
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:08,384
-"Really? You think so?"
-[audience laughs]
331
00:16:08,467 --> 00:16:10,427
And I'm like, "Oh, it's a great album."
332
00:16:10,511 --> 00:16:13,180
"Man, you like that?
You got good taste. I like it too."
333
00:16:13,263 --> 00:16:14,640
"We on the same vibe."
334
00:16:14,723 --> 00:16:16,308
So, that's my thing.
335
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:21,563
Willing to beat the negative perception
that they try to throw
336
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:25,567
on a confident Black man.
Because they haven't seen that before.
337
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:29,822
It's almost a mentality
of the slave that's too loud.
338
00:16:30,906 --> 00:16:32,533
"Quiet. Quiet down!"
339
00:16:33,033 --> 00:16:34,159
"Quiet down!"
340
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:37,538
I'mma tell you how I feel about me.
I am the greatest!
341
00:16:37,621 --> 00:16:40,040
And you should feel that way
about yourself too!
342
00:16:40,791 --> 00:16:41,959
[audience cheers]
343
00:16:42,042 --> 00:16:45,504
Thank you so much! Give yourselves a hand,
and Kanye a hand.
344
00:16:45,587 --> 00:16:46,964
[audience cheering]
345
00:16:50,259 --> 00:16:52,594
[Coodie] Watching Kanye onstage that day,
346
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:56,098
it was clear to me how much
Donda's words influenced him.
347
00:16:56,181 --> 00:16:57,766
[reporter] Hey, Kanye.
348
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:01,979
[Coodie] It was like, the bigger he got,
349
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:05,315
the more he wanted her around.
350
00:17:05,398 --> 00:17:06,817
[man] On three. Right here, guys.
351
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:08,277
One, two, three.
352
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:11,280
[Coodie] And after all this time,
it was amazing to see
353
00:17:11,363 --> 00:17:13,240
what they were now building together.
354
00:17:13,323 --> 00:17:16,201
Okay, great.
355
00:17:16,285 --> 00:17:18,662
What was the importance
of education in your family?
356
00:17:18,746 --> 00:17:23,459
Although Kanye is "the college dropout,"
he dropped in doing something else.
357
00:17:23,541 --> 00:17:27,337
And he very much supports anybody
who wants to go to college.
358
00:17:27,421 --> 00:17:29,548
Have you stopped being a mom?
359
00:17:29,631 --> 00:17:32,593
Are you totally converted
into a business manager now?
360
00:17:32,676 --> 00:17:36,972
[Donda] Yeah. The mom part
is friendship and discussions.
361
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:38,474
And parenting is over.
362
00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:41,477
People say it turned out okay, so…
363
00:17:42,019 --> 00:17:45,814
Whatever you put your mind to,
just never give up.
364
00:17:48,484 --> 00:17:49,318
[knocking on door]
365
00:17:51,403 --> 00:17:53,072
-Hey! Is Kanye in here?
-Yeah.
366
00:17:53,822 --> 00:17:55,574
-[man] Yeah.
-[Donda] Yeah, okay.
367
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,326
[speaks indistinctly]
368
00:17:57,409 --> 00:17:58,744
Okay. Hi, honey.
369
00:17:58,827 --> 00:18:01,080
-You gonna do red carpet, right quick?
-[Kanye] Yeah.
370
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:01,997
[Donda] Okay.
371
00:18:02,623 --> 00:18:03,665
Yeah.
372
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:08,045
Tonight's reception, we're just trying to
get people into the silent auction event.
373
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:11,632
Almost always need some more money
for the foundation.
374
00:18:12,716 --> 00:18:13,759
[Donda sighs]
375
00:18:18,514 --> 00:18:20,349
[Donda speaking indistinctly]
376
00:18:26,146 --> 00:18:27,856
[woman on phone] She's had a heart attack.
377
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:30,234
She's not breathing or moving.
I'm trying to do CPR.
378
00:18:30,317 --> 00:18:32,903
-[man] How old is this person?
-[woman] She's 58 years old.
379
00:18:32,986 --> 00:18:34,113
-[man] Fifty-eight?
-Yes.
380
00:18:34,196 --> 00:18:36,365
[man] Okay, 58. Now, you're doing CPR?
381
00:18:36,448 --> 00:18:38,909
Ma'am, is she not breathing at all?
382
00:18:38,992 --> 00:18:41,620
[woman] …her medications.
She complained she couldn't breathe.
383
00:18:41,703 --> 00:18:43,789
-[man] So she's not--
-[woman] Clammy hands.
384
00:18:43,872 --> 00:18:45,791
-[man] Is she breathing?
-[woman] No, she's not.
385
00:18:45,874 --> 00:18:47,292
Dr. West?
386
00:18:48,335 --> 00:18:49,169
Dr. West!
387
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,379
I don't feel a pulse.
388
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:51,797
Get an ambulance here now.
389
00:18:52,714 --> 00:18:54,174
[siren wailing]
390
00:18:56,051 --> 00:19:00,681
Some very sad news to report.
The mother of rapper Kanye West has died.
391
00:19:00,764 --> 00:19:02,015
She was just 58 years old.
392
00:19:02,099 --> 00:19:04,560
[reporter 1] Known for the strong bonds
she shared with Kanye.
393
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:08,856
[reporter 2] Donda wrote him, "As grateful
for having Kanye as I am for life itself."
394
00:19:14,695 --> 00:19:17,531
Kanye and his mother thrived
in each other's company.
395
00:19:17,614 --> 00:19:19,491
[reporter 3] His manager, his best friend.
396
00:19:19,575 --> 00:19:22,452
[reporter 4] And we know how close he was
and how much he loved her
397
00:19:22,536 --> 00:19:23,745
and praised her.
398
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:29,001
[Coodie]
As much as I didn't want to believe it,
399
00:19:29,084 --> 00:19:32,462
it was devastating finding out
that Mama West was gone.
400
00:19:33,046 --> 00:19:35,340
-This is my mom.
-Yeah. [chuckles]
401
00:19:36,049 --> 00:19:40,470
And you know what? You need an angel
to watch over you, so it's all good.
402
00:19:41,597 --> 00:19:42,431
[chuckles]
403
00:19:45,309 --> 00:19:47,561
[Coodie] I couldn't imagine the pain
Kanye was feeling.
404
00:19:47,644 --> 00:19:50,272
I'd like to congratulate you
on the good job you did with me.
405
00:19:50,355 --> 00:19:52,524
[Coodie] Donda was his everything.
406
00:19:52,608 --> 00:19:56,653
I was like, "Kanye! All right!
Give it up!"
407
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:00,574
We got my mom in the house.
408
00:20:07,956 --> 00:20:10,292
[Coodie] A few days after she passed,
409
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:14,338
Donda's family asked me
to put together a tribute for her funeral.
410
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:21,053
It was so hard looking at the moments
they shared together,
411
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,890
knowing she wouldn't be
by Kanye's side anymore.
412
00:20:27,351 --> 00:20:31,271
Because I knew that all he wanted
was to make his mama proud.

-[Donda humming]
-[Coodie] That's right.
447

Hey, give it up! [laughs]
448
00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:03,739
Give it up for the inspiration
of this song.
449
00:22:04,281 --> 00:22:05,991
Bad, bad, dawg.

00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:16,126
[Donda] Well, Kanye, thank you for being
just an outstanding son.
454
00:22:16,209 --> 00:22:17,419
Mom.
455
00:22:17,502 --> 00:22:18,712
You really are pretty…
456
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:20,714
Pretty cool, pretty cool.
457
00:22:20,797 --> 00:22:22,341
The best, as a matter of fact.
458
00:22:22,424 --> 00:22:23,717
-I were? [chuckles]
-Yep.
459
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,052
You the best mom.

00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:27,721
Oh! [laughs]
461
00:22:27,804 --> 00:22:29,014
[Kanye chuckles]
462
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:31,933
See you later. Give me a hug.
463
00:22:34,144 --> 00:22:35,979
[both speaking indistinctly]
464
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,194
[Coodie] Losing Donda
465
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:45,155
was heartbreaking for everybody.
466
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:52,996
But what we didn't know
was how Kanye was gonna take it.
467
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:01,838
[Kanye] A hundred people I ain't talked to
in years call me out of the blue.
468
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:03,965
"You just need to stop touring."
469
00:23:04,049 --> 00:23:06,259
"You just need to go home
and clear your head."
470
00:23:06,802 --> 00:23:08,386
Go home to what, motherfucker?
471
00:23:09,054 --> 00:23:10,347
[audience cheering]
472
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:14,059
[Kanye] "Because if they see you out,
473
00:23:14,142 --> 00:23:16,853
and you go outside,
and then the media catches you…"
474
00:23:16,937 --> 00:23:18,271
Man, fuck the media!
475
00:23:19,147 --> 00:23:20,607
[audience cheering]
476
00:23:22,776 --> 00:23:24,027
[Kanye] If she was here,
477
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:27,906
she would tell me to get on that stage,
478
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:30,325
and kill it, dawg.
479
00:23:33,703 --> 00:23:40,669
[audience chanting] Kanye! Kanye! Kanye!
480
00:23:47,551 --> 00:23:50,762
[Coodie] Not long after the funeral,
Kanye called me.
481
00:23:53,014 --> 00:23:57,435
He said he wanted me around,
and I made sure to be there for him.
482
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:04,484
When I went to film one of his first shows
483
00:24:04,568 --> 00:24:06,111
for the Glow in the Dark Tour,
484
00:24:06,194 --> 00:24:08,488
I could tell Kanye was grieving.
485
00:24:09,364 --> 00:24:11,032
But he kept working.
486
00:24:11,783 --> 00:24:13,160
He refused to stop.
487
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:18,957
Kanye had asked me to document
the rest of the tour.
488
00:24:20,250 --> 00:24:22,002
But when they hit the road,
489
00:24:22,085 --> 00:24:25,380
his team told me there wasn't
any room for me to go.
490
00:24:27,465 --> 00:24:29,426
[people speaking indistinctly]
491
00:24:29,509 --> 00:24:32,637
[Coodie] I ended up seeing Kanye again
four months later,
492
00:24:32,721 --> 00:24:36,808
when DeRay invited me to film his
performance for the Glow In The Dark Tour.
493
00:24:38,143 --> 00:24:39,186
He didn't wanna say shit.
494
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:44,232
♪ Mr. West in the building
Swagger on a hundred thousand trillion ♪
495
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:47,694
[Coodie] When I got there, he didn't seem
like the same Kanye.
496
00:24:49,696 --> 00:24:51,156
We hardly even spoke.
497
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,117
A week after that,
498
00:24:54,951 --> 00:24:59,289
GLC asked me to come to the studio
to film a session that he had with Kanye.
499
00:25:00,957 --> 00:25:02,250
And that day,
500
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:05,587
for whatever reason,
I didn't feel welcome.
501
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:07,214
Turn it up a little louder, please.
502
00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:10,425
[Coodie] I was there to film GL.
503
00:25:11,801 --> 00:25:14,596
But then Kanye did something
he hadn't done before.
504
00:25:16,431 --> 00:25:18,225
He told me to stop filming him.
505
00:25:21,561 --> 00:25:27,192
And for the next six years,
it turned out, that's exactly what I did.
506
00:25:27,275 --> 00:25:28,902
[reporter] Mr. Kanye West.
507
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:31,279
[Donda] Everybody else sees the giant.
508
00:25:35,158 --> 00:25:36,660
[Coodie] Look at you, boo-boo.
509
00:25:36,743 --> 00:25:40,330
You want to come back to the camera?
You happy about the camera.
510
00:25:40,413 --> 00:25:42,082
-Ivy?
-[squeals]
511
00:25:42,165 --> 00:25:44,084
You hear me, baby? We been through a lot.
512
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:45,877
How old are you today?
513
00:25:46,586 --> 00:25:47,587
[coos]
514
00:25:48,755 --> 00:25:50,090
[Kanye] It feels good to be home,
515
00:25:50,173 --> 00:25:51,925
here at The Grammys.
516
00:25:52,008 --> 00:25:54,844
Mama, all I'mma do
is keep making you proud.
517
00:25:55,845 --> 00:25:57,639
I don't have nothing to lose.
518
00:25:57,722 --> 00:25:58,974
I have no loss.
519
00:25:59,057 --> 00:26:01,935
I have dreams of one day
creating a fashion brand.
520
00:26:02,018 --> 00:26:05,355
There's so many boundaries I have to
break past due to people's mentality.
521
00:26:05,939 --> 00:26:08,316
[boy]
Wake up! There's a giant on the beach.
522
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,736
[Kanye] I say things the wrong way,
but my intention is always positive.
523
00:26:11,820 --> 00:26:14,656
Best Female Video goes to Taylor Swift.
524
00:26:14,739 --> 00:26:16,950
-Thank you so much!
-[Kanye] Yo, Taylor.
525
00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:18,118
I'mma let you finish.
526
00:26:18,201 --> 00:26:20,829
But Beyoncé had
one of the best videos of all time!
527
00:26:20,912 --> 00:26:23,665
[reporter 1] Kanye West hijacked
Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.
528
00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:25,333
[reporter 2] The ego is overdone.
529
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:28,295
[reporter 3] President Obama calling
Kanye West a jackass.
530
00:26:28,378 --> 00:26:31,172
I was fortunate enough to meet your mom
a number of years ago.
531
00:26:31,256 --> 00:26:32,799
What do you think she would have said?
532
00:26:32,882 --> 00:26:35,760
Now, Ivy's about to sing.
Ain't that right, Ivy? Ready?
533
00:26:35,844 --> 00:26:37,178
-Okay, Daddy.
-Let's go.
534
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:40,765
[reporter 1] Named after
Kanye's late mother, Dr. Donda West,
535
00:26:40,849 --> 00:26:42,809
the collection
was more flash than substance.
536
00:26:42,892 --> 00:26:44,853
[reporter 2]
Dark Twisted Fantasy is so good.
537
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:46,604
[reporter 3] Best record ever.
538
00:26:46,688 --> 00:26:50,734
This industry that I'm trying to get into,
ain't nobody never broke down.
539
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:53,361
[Coodie] And cut! And action!
540
00:26:53,445 --> 00:26:55,488
[Kanye] I am Shakespeare in the flesh.
541
00:26:55,572 --> 00:26:57,365
You ain't got the answer, Sway.
542
00:26:57,449 --> 00:26:59,034
-[Ivy] Dad!
-[Coodie] Huh?
543
00:26:59,117 --> 00:27:01,995
Come here, Daddy. [speaks indistinctly]
544
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:06,249
[Coodie's wife] All right.
It's his first featured film.
545
00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:08,418
Really, really proud of ya. [chuckles]
546
00:27:08,501 --> 00:27:10,086
[photographer] Right here for Tribeca.
547
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:14,174
[reporter 1] We got two stars here
famous for being in love with themselves.
548
00:27:14,257 --> 00:27:16,551
[reporter 2]
This is a recipe for disaster, people.
549
00:27:17,802 --> 00:27:19,596
[Kanye]
My mother made me believe in myself.
550
00:27:19,679 --> 00:27:23,516
Exactly what I did in music.
I want to apply to product.
551
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,728
[reporter] Kanye went on
a profanity-laced Twitter tirade.
552
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:29,314
[Kanye] I'm a creative genius.
There's no other way to word it.
553
00:27:29,397 --> 00:27:31,066
You're not supposed to say that.
554
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:33,109
You're going to love me.
You're gonna hate me…
555
00:27:33,193 --> 00:27:34,819
[Coodie] All of these memories.
556
00:27:34,903 --> 00:27:37,947
But I'm happy.
So, I'm just gonna practice.
557
00:27:38,656 --> 00:27:40,617
[Kanye] This is what we do
to hold people back.
558
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:43,953
When someone comes up and says
something like, "I'm a god."
559
00:27:44,037 --> 00:27:46,247
Everybody says, "Who does he think he is?"
560
00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:49,167
I just told you who I thought I was.
A god.
561
00:27:49,959 --> 00:27:53,338
Would it have been better if I had
a song to say, "I am a nigga"?
562
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:56,341
Especially when you got shipped over
to the country that you're in
563
00:27:56,424 --> 00:27:58,510
and your last name is a slave owner's.
564
00:27:59,719 --> 00:28:00,970
How could you say that?
565
00:28:01,054 --> 00:28:02,806
How could you have that mentality?
566
00:28:08,019 --> 00:28:08,937
[Ivy] Dada.
567
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:10,438
I call him Daddy boo.
568
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:11,648
So, Da-da boo.
569
00:28:11,731 --> 00:28:13,733
When he was 17, he met Kanye West.
570
00:28:14,317 --> 00:28:15,819
-And…
-[Coodie] Mm-mm.
571
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:19,030
I met Kanye when he was like, 17.
572
00:28:19,114 --> 00:28:20,532
But what age were you?
573
00:28:20,615 --> 00:28:22,909
[Coodie] I was probably like, 24.
574
00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:24,577
I was older.
575
00:28:25,453 --> 00:28:27,747
What's your goals?
What do you want from life?
576
00:28:27,831 --> 00:28:30,375
-You told me that you dance.
-I wanna be a…
577
00:28:30,458 --> 00:28:32,377
I wanna be, uh…
578
00:28:33,503 --> 00:28:34,587
I wanna be an artist.
579
00:28:35,088 --> 00:28:36,631
When you like, wanna be an artist…
580
00:28:37,132 --> 00:28:39,134
Like Kanye West, he's an artist.
581
00:28:39,217 --> 00:28:41,928
When you grow older,
you want to be like that.
582
00:28:42,011 --> 00:28:45,265
So, you want to be, um, creative…
583
00:28:45,765 --> 00:28:47,308
Nice, kind,
584
00:28:47,851 --> 00:28:48,893
generous.
585
00:28:48,977 --> 00:28:50,520
So, do it. Do it.
586
00:28:50,603 --> 00:28:52,147
[Coodie's wife] We gotta go.
587
00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:54,190
We gotta go. Peace out!
588
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:01,322
[Coodie] After your child is born,
it's like you blink,
589
00:29:02,657 --> 00:29:03,950
and years go by.
590
00:29:05,702 --> 00:29:09,289
For a long time,
I only saw Kanye from afar.
591
00:29:10,457 --> 00:29:13,626
But I was definitely happy to hear
that he became a father.
592
00:29:15,962 --> 00:29:19,257
Especially knowing the joy
that Ivy brought into my life.
593
00:29:26,306 --> 00:29:29,684
There was so much that had changed
for us both in six years.
594
00:29:30,685 --> 00:29:34,189
And I still really wasn't sure
when I'd see Kanye again.
595
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:39,027
But God works in mysterious ways.
596
00:29:39,986 --> 00:29:41,112
[indistinct chatter]
597
00:29:52,874 --> 00:29:54,167
What up, Coodie?
598
00:29:54,250 --> 00:29:55,668
What's up?
599
00:29:55,752 --> 00:29:58,379
[Coodie] Out of the blue,
Common called me.
600
00:29:59,088 --> 00:30:02,801
He wanted me to document his first
music festival back home in Chicago.
601
00:30:04,385 --> 00:30:07,096
It was gonna be a huge event for the city.
602
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:11,726
And when I got there,
he told me Kanye was a surprise guest.
603
00:30:13,728 --> 00:30:15,939
It made me a little nervous
604
00:30:16,022 --> 00:30:17,482
because I knew Kanye…
605
00:30:20,568 --> 00:30:22,487
but I had never met Yeezy.
606
00:30:27,992 --> 00:30:29,744
What up, man? It's today.
607
00:30:29,828 --> 00:30:31,913
We got the buses. We got our trailer.
608
00:30:31,996 --> 00:30:34,207
It's back home for real.
609
00:30:34,958 --> 00:30:37,710
[Common] What we're here to do
is create not only music,
610
00:30:37,794 --> 00:30:40,129
but this is for the people.
This is a movement.
611
00:30:40,213 --> 00:30:43,424
I gotta shout out Rhymefest
and Donda's House.
612

Dave Chappelle coming through.
613
00:30:45,009 --> 00:30:48,388
I got one of my men,
Twista, of course, coming through.
614
00:30:48,471 --> 00:30:50,348
Where you at, Chicago?
615
00:30:53,434 --> 00:30:54,727
If you feel the spirit,

[Coodie] Coming back to Chicago,
635
00:32:11,054 --> 00:32:13,556
the concert felt like a family reunion.
636
00:32:14,891 --> 00:32:16,893
And putting the camera back on Kanye,
637
00:32:17,894 --> 00:32:21,814
that was the moment that I realized
how much I really missed my brother.

-Thank you so much.
-[Coodie] For real.

Being in the same room again,
641
00:32:31,407 --> 00:32:34,327
I couldn't help but think
about how close we used to be.
642
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:38,414
Even if now,
I still felt the distance between us.
643
00:32:41,292 --> 00:32:44,212
But again, like my parents always said,
644
00:32:45,129 --> 00:32:46,923

[Coodie] Because of the AAHH! Fest,

00:33:08,695 --> 00:33:11,197
I was able to come home
and hang out with my dad.
651
00:33:14,325 --> 00:33:18,204
Ever since I was a kid,
I wanted to follow in his footsteps.
652
00:33:18,287 --> 00:33:19,872
[Coodie] Yeah. Go ahead.
653
00:33:21,457 --> 00:33:24,002
-[Ivy] Happy Birthday, Grandpa.
-[Coodie's dad] Thank you.

00:33:24,085 --> 00:33:25,628

And this trip would be the last time

I would see him alive.

When he made his transition,

00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:45,940
what I realized more than ever
661
00:33:46,024 --> 00:33:47,942
is that our spirits never die.
662

[Coodie] After seeing Kanye
at the AAHH! Fest,
667
00:34:17,472 --> 00:34:20,224
it hit me how many moments
in his life that I had missed.
668
00:34:23,268 --> 00:34:26,438
So, when I heard he was coming
to New York to have a fashion show

00:34:26,522 --> 00:34:28,815
and a listening party for his new album,

[Coodie] Kanye used to say
he wanted to be the best-dressed rapper.
677
00:34:51,089 --> 00:34:54,007
Now, here he was
with his own fashion line.

Kanye West is hospitalized today
788
00:41:16,682 --> 00:41:20,227
after a string of several
bizarre recent incidents at concerts.

00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,771
His doctor reportedly called 911,
saying he was psychotic.

[reporter] Officials spoke with West
for 90 minutes

before following protocol for
a psychiatric patient, restraining him.
793
00:41:30,529 --> 00:41:33,324
[reporter 2] West is said to be
under a psychiatric hold today,
794
00:41:33,407 --> 00:41:35,618
which prevents him
from leaving the hospital.
795
00:41:36,285 --> 00:41:38,954
[Coodie] When I heard Kanye
was committed to the hospital,
796
00:41:39,538 --> 00:41:43,000
as a friend, I was concerned for his life.
797

[telephone ringing]
798
00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:47,129
When I would see Kanye go off in the past,
799
00:41:47,213 --> 00:41:49,798
I just thought it was a part of the show.
800
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:53,344
I had no idea he was even struggling
with his mental health.
801
00:41:54,053 --> 00:41:54,887
For weeks,
802
00:41:54,970 --> 00:41:57,890
I did everything I could
to get in touch with him,
803
00:41:58,724 --> 00:42:00,726
but no one would return my calls.
804

[reporter 1] …was on the cover
of Time Magazine.
805
00:42:03,187 --> 00:42:04,647
This has been a downhill spiral.
806
00:42:04,730 --> 00:42:07,191
[reporter 2] We're told
he's getting the help he needs.

[reporter 4]
What's going on with Kanye West?
808
00:42:09,193 --> 00:42:10,528
[Coodie] Months went by.
809
00:42:10,611 --> 00:42:14,031
And Kanye reached out to Olskool Ice-Gre.
810
00:42:15,449 --> 00:42:18,077
And Ice-Gre reached out to me.
811
00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:23,707
I want him out of the street.
Jump up the street some more.
812

I'm trying to get my boy.
Can y'all tell him how to come over here?

00:42:28,921 --> 00:42:30,297
[man] Over here.
815
00:42:31,006 --> 00:42:33,050
Flash him over there. Flash, Kanye.
816
00:42:34,134 --> 00:42:35,094
Yo!
817
00:42:35,177 --> 00:42:36,387
Here.

-You see me flash you?

[Greg] Lordy! This is good! This is good
right here! This is good right here.
826
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:59,243
This is good right here.
They don't know what this is right here!
827
00:43:01,954 --> 00:43:04,248
[Coodie] With everything he had
just gone through,
828
00:43:04,331 --> 00:43:06,792
it was so good
to see Kanye happy and healthy.
829
00:43:08,210 --> 00:43:10,462
It had been so long
since we really connected.
830
00:43:11,380 --> 00:43:14,341
And this reunion
felt like a new beginning.
831
00:43:18,929 --> 00:43:22,266
For years,
I thought the documentary was over.
832
00:43:25,227 --> 00:43:27,938
But now I saw
that there was more of Kanye's story
833
00:43:28,897 --> 00:43:29,982
that I could tell.
834
00:43:35,529 --> 00:43:38,907
[Greg] I personally think you're zoned in
more than ever right now, though.
835
00:43:38,991 --> 00:43:40,826
Like, the now…
836
00:43:40,909 --> 00:43:42,661
Like we're talking about the now.
837
00:43:42,745 --> 00:43:45,331
Everything that happened
over probably the last…
838
00:43:46,123 --> 00:43:48,500
You know,
leading up over the last seven months.
839
00:43:48,584 --> 00:43:51,170
I just look at everything,
how things is moving.
840
00:43:52,004 --> 00:43:53,714
We have to embrace our now,
841
00:43:54,673 --> 00:43:58,218
to be able to work with
and surround yourself with the people
842
00:43:58,302 --> 00:44:02,264
who create

Like, I like the fact
that he wants it to be positive
897
00:46:47,763 --> 00:46:50,265
and about all these things
that we're touching on,
898
00:46:50,349 --> 00:46:52,809
like suicide, and death and ghosts.
899
00:46:52,893 --> 00:46:54,811
Those are topics that I can get into.
900
00:46:54,895 --> 00:46:55,812
[Greg] Right.
901
00:46:55,896 --> 00:47:00,943

902

905
00:47:07,533 --> 00:47:08,742
[Greg] Yeah, right.
906
00:47:09,493 --> 00:47:12,829
I'm like, "Man, can't nobody do it
as good as you, man."
907
00:47:12,913 --> 00:47:14,790
[Kanye] It's better for us
to touch on things
908
00:47:14,873 --> 00:47:18,293
that people can really relate to
and feel like they're going through.
909
00:47:18,377 --> 00:47:22,965
And even me, when I already had the house
910
00:47:23,048 --> 00:47:25,175
and the wife and the kids and the plaques,
911
00:47:25,259 --> 00:47:26,426
all the stuff and shit,
912
00:47:26,510 --> 00:47:29,763
would still have moments
where I felt like, suicidal.
913
00:47:29,846 --> 00:47:33,141
Here, still have moments
where I'm addicted to Percocets
914
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:34,768
and don't even realize it.
915
00:47:34,851 --> 00:47:36,520
-You know what I'm saying?
-[Kid] Right.
916
00:47:36,603 --> 00:47:38,397
So… Yeah.
917
00:47:39,106 --> 00:47:40,148
-[Kid] Yeah.
-Yeah.
918
00:47:40,232 --> 00:47:42,609
-[Kid] Chasing ghosts.
-[Coodie] But we here now.
919
00:47:42,693 --> 00:47:44,194
[Coodie] The here and now.
920
00:47:50,784 --> 00:47:52,786
[Coodie] After the year Kanye had had,
921
00:47:52,869 --> 00:47:55,747
it felt important to focus
on what was in front of us.
922
00:47:57,457 --> 00:48:00,877
But now that we had
the opportunity to sit and talk,
923
00:48:00,961 --> 00:48:03,297
I just wanted
to be there for him as a brother.
924
00:48:05,048 --> 00:48:08,302
I wanted to try and understand
what was on his heart.
925
00:48:10,053 --> 00:48:11,138
[Kanye] I was confused.
926
00:48:11,847 --> 00:48:13,974
Didn't know where I was going.
927
00:48:14,057 --> 00:48:15,183
Hit a breaking point.
928
00:48:16,852 --> 00:48:18,854
You come out of it, think you could.
929
00:48:18,937 --> 00:48:20,272
[Coodie] Mm-hmm.
930
00:48:20,939 --> 00:48:24,693
Sometimes God gotta sit you down
to wake you up.
931
00:48:24,776 --> 00:48:26,486
You know what I'm saying, though?
932
00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:30,032
"Hey, I'mma put you down,
I'mma wake you right back up, man."
933
00:48:30,115 --> 00:48:32,784
"Let's move in the right direction."
934
00:48:35,162 --> 00:48:37,998
I feel that anybody in the past
935
00:48:38,081 --> 00:48:41,793
that has been in a position
of influence, like that I'm in,
936
00:48:41,877 --> 00:48:46,173
has, you know, made Versailles.
937
00:48:48,258 --> 00:48:53,347
I'm not satisfied
with anything less than the best.
938
00:48:54,348 --> 00:48:56,808
Because time is fleeting.
939
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,854
We do this research.
We're in China right now.
940
00:49:00,937 --> 00:49:05,025
We're scouring the globe
to find the best factories,
941
00:49:05,108 --> 00:49:07,152
to work with the best designers.
942
00:49:08,028 --> 00:49:12,658
And people haven't even seen our best yet.
943
00:49:13,492 --> 00:49:15,911
We… We just scratching the surface.
944
00:49:16,662 --> 00:49:19,331
I feel like it needs to be
more organic to be a Yeezy.
945
00:49:20,582 --> 00:49:21,833
And not so curved like…
946
00:49:21,917 --> 00:49:23,335
-Not so… [growls]
-Like…
947
00:49:24,795 --> 00:49:27,923
I kinda don't like the way
this kicks to the front, right there
948
00:49:28,006 --> 00:49:29,633
-because he needs to…
-Soften it up?
949
00:49:29,716 --> 00:49:30,592
Yeah.
950
00:49:31,927 --> 00:49:35,681
Like, I like this fleece so much less
than my ability fabrics.
951
00:49:35,764 --> 00:49:37,224
So much less than Season 4.
952
00:49:37,307 --> 00:49:38,558
Like, I hate digressing.
953
00:49:40,268 --> 00:49:43,146
See, that's what makes the 700 so scary.
954
00:49:43,230 --> 00:49:45,440
That it's like, bulky.
955
00:49:46,191 --> 00:49:47,150
Like, I'm like…
956
00:49:47,818 --> 00:49:49,820
thirty-five pounds overweight
957
00:49:49,903 --> 00:49:52,906
due to medication
that I have to fucking take, right?
958
00:49:52,989 --> 00:49:56,201
But I still have the aspiration
when I look down at my feet
959
00:49:56,284 --> 00:49:57,828
of being super slim and shit,
960
00:49:57,911 --> 00:50:00,539
how it was like when I was on tour.
961
00:50:00,622 --> 00:50:04,584
Why couldn't the 700 have been
engineered to be like this?
962
00:50:05,085 --> 00:50:08,714
Where it's like, slim, but like…
963
00:50:11,049 --> 00:50:12,968
Flows out in the right places.
964
00:50:13,051 --> 00:50:14,386
And very purposefully.
965
00:50:14,469 --> 00:50:18,265
-[woman] Yeah. It's way less organic.
-That's what I'm saying.
966
00:50:42,330 --> 00:50:43,999
Hello. How are you doing?
967
00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:46,501
What's up? How are you?
968
00:50:46,585 --> 00:50:48,170
-Long time.
-[Kanye] Yes, sir.
969
00:50:48,253 --> 00:50:52,924
When we met before, you said
you want to go into the fashion scene.
970
00:50:53,008 --> 00:50:56,219
-Mm-hmm.
-But, uh, twisting for the fashion scene.
971
00:50:56,303 --> 00:50:57,596
-Yeah.
-Right?
972
00:50:57,679 --> 00:51:00,265
I wanna twist it all up, yeah.
973
00:51:00,348 --> 00:51:01,433

974
00:51:02,809 --> 00:51:04,102

-Yeah.

[Coodie] Moving around with Kanye,
978
00:51:14,112 --> 00:51:16,323
watching him work up close again,
979
00:51:16,406 --> 00:51:17,616
was inspiring.
980
00:51:19,868 --> 00:51:23,163
He always seemed to be
in his best spirits when he was creating.

Okay, so, I follow you.
983

[Coodie] And for him, it seemed to be
the healing that he needed.

being back on the camera, filming him.

to keep the good energy going,

1014
00:52:58,466 --> 00:53:00,343
[Coodie] And it's flowing.
1015
00:53:00,927 --> 00:53:03,096
You know, you're here with the team.
1016
00:53:03,179 --> 00:53:05,348
You got the best team and…
1017
00:53:05,432 --> 00:53:06,892
But that's all God.
1018
00:53:06,975 --> 00:53:10,896
You know, that's one of the things
that I wanted to come talk to you about.
1019
00:53:10,979 --> 00:53:12,522
'Cause, it was faith,
1020
00:53:12,606 --> 00:53:15,775
and faith in him, he just moves mountains,
you know what I'm saying?
1021
00:53:15,901 --> 00:53:18,320
-[Kanye] Mm-hmm.
-And he'll make sure you straight,
1022
00:53:18,403 --> 00:53:20,196
because you got the desire.
1023
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,741
He gonna make sure you're straight.
1024
00:53:22,824 --> 00:53:23,825
Yeah.
1025
00:53:29,164 --> 00:53:32,208
Yeah. I'm definitely straight.
I'm definitely straighter than straight.
1026
00:53:32,292 --> 00:53:36,296
I'm good like, I've lived
a thousand lifetimes. You know?
1027
00:53:36,379 --> 00:53:37,589
[Coodie] Mm-hmm.
1028
00:53:40,550 --> 00:53:45,096
I wanna make sure
that everybody is straight.
1029
00:53:45,180 --> 00:53:46,139
[Coodie] Mm-hmm.
1030
00:53:46,598 --> 00:53:50,685
You know, I'm not gonna be
completely happy and completely satisfied
1031
00:53:50,769 --> 00:53:52,896
until the world is completely satisfied
1032
00:53:52,979 --> 00:53:55,148
and the world is completely happy,
1033
00:53:55,231 --> 00:53:57,859
because that's the position
that I've been put in.
1034
00:53:57,943 --> 00:54:01,947
I've been put in a position of influence,
and I'm so blessed
1035
00:54:02,030 --> 00:54:06,326
that everything that we work on now is…
1036
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:14,084
"Oh, how can we take this
and give this to the masses?"
1037
00:54:14,793 --> 00:54:20,048
And if everyone
is focused on helping everyone,
1038
00:54:22,592 --> 00:54:25,011
everybody's gonna be
in a better position.
1039
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:27,305
[Coodie] Mm-hmm. That's for sure.
1040
00:54:28,515 --> 00:54:29,933
No purposeful errors.
1041
00:54:30,809 --> 00:54:32,560
-No killing.
-[Coodie] Right.
1042
00:54:32,644 --> 00:54:34,062
You know, no ill will.
1043
00:54:34,729 --> 00:54:35,605
[Coodie] Mm-hmm
1044
00:54:41,027 --> 00:54:43,530
[Coodie] I didn't know
when I would see Kanye next.
1045
00:54:43,613 --> 00:54:46,992
but, for now, it seemed like
he had found his peace.
1046
00:54:50,036 --> 00:54:53,415
The question was,
where would he go from here?
1047
00:54:53,498 --> 00:54:54,749
[Kanye] No purposeful errors.
1048
00:54:54,833 --> 00:54:58,253
[reporter 1] The rapper, infamous
for courting controversy doubled down.
1049
00:54:58,336 --> 00:55:00,463
[reporter 2] Kanye, in a MAGA hat.
1050
00:55:00,547 --> 00:55:02,924
[reporter 3] The fact he won
proves anything's possible.
1051
00:55:03,008 --> 00:55:04,342
I like Kanye very much.
1052
00:55:04,426 --> 00:55:05,677
[Kanye] I felt a freedom,
1053
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,014
just doing something
that everybody tells you not to do.
1054
00:55:09,097 --> 00:55:10,640
West is under fire tonight.
1055
00:55:10,724 --> 00:55:14,811
-Now, he's getting a lot of attention.
-Backlash over his comments on slavery.
1056
00:55:14,894 --> 00:55:17,230
More people now are turning against Kanye.
1057
00:55:17,313 --> 00:55:19,816
[reporter] That statement
was one of the most ignorant--
1058
00:55:19,899 --> 00:55:22,027
A lot of us,
as Black people, were very upset.
1059
00:55:22,110 --> 00:55:24,988
I want to take this moment right now
to say that I'm sorry.
1060
00:55:25,071 --> 00:55:26,865
I'm not on no side.
1061
00:55:26,948 --> 00:55:28,867
I got love for everybody.
1062
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:31,411
Kanye West has some real power.
1063
00:55:31,494 --> 00:55:33,455
[Van] Is Kanye in the Sunken Place?
1064
00:55:33,538 --> 00:55:35,999
[Kanye] The thing
about being called crazy,
1065
00:55:36,082 --> 00:55:38,418
biggest stigma
that has to be broken is that
1066
00:55:38,501 --> 00:55:40,170
you instantly get written off.
1067
00:55:40,253 --> 00:55:43,381
-Kanye West is defending himself…
-It's ignorant, it's irresponsible…
1068
00:55:43,465 --> 00:55:45,592
[Kanye] When I see an outsider infiltrate,
1069
00:55:45,675 --> 00:55:46,843
I connect with that.
1070
00:55:46,926 --> 00:55:48,053
[Donald] They like me.
1071
00:55:48,136 --> 00:55:52,640
President Trump spent some time yesterday
taking it "Yeezy" with Kanye West.
1072
00:55:52,724 --> 00:55:54,809
The rapper's riffs ran the gamut.
1073
00:55:54,893 --> 00:55:57,353
[reporter] We're all watching the screen.
1074
00:55:57,437 --> 00:55:58,897
I think he was being misused.
1075
00:55:58,980 --> 00:56:00,231
[reporter 1] It was disturbing.
1076
00:56:00,315 --> 00:56:02,150
[woman crying] I was really emotional…
1077
00:56:02,233 --> 00:56:04,527
An irrational madman rants
and raves at him.
1078
00:56:04,611 --> 00:56:06,571
Now he knows how we feel every morning…
1079
00:56:06,654 --> 00:56:10,867
[Kanye] Fear. Stress. Lose Control.
Manipulation. Being a pawn.
1080
00:56:10,950 --> 00:56:13,244
[Donda] You need an angel
to watch over you.
1081
00:56:18,917 --> 00:56:20,627
[reporter 1] The man is completely lost.
1082
00:56:20,710 --> 00:56:22,378
[reporter 2] It's just dangerous.
1083
00:56:22,462 --> 00:56:25,507
-[reporter 3] Where is the love?
-[reporter 4] Playing with lives.
1084
00:56:25,590 --> 00:56:27,509
[reporter 5] Figure out who you are.
1085
00:56:27,592 --> 00:56:30,178
[Coodie] It was difficult
watching Kanye on TV,
1086
00:56:30,261 --> 00:56:32,597
knowing he had issues
with his mental health.
1087
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,642
[reporter 6] Like, it's clearly someone
who is off his meds, who…
1088
00:56:36,226 --> 00:56:38,520
[Coodie] They were calling him crazy.
1089
00:56:38,603 --> 00:56:41,648
but to me, it seemed like
he was crying out for help.
1090
00:56:41,731 --> 00:56:44,192
[Kanye] ♪ I told God
I'd be back in a second ♪
1091
00:56:44,275 --> 00:56:47,278
♪ Man, it's so hard not to act reckless ♪
1092
00:56:48,196 --> 00:56:51,574
[Coodie] In the past, Kanye might've
rubbed folks the wrong way.
1093
00:56:52,450 --> 00:56:53,785
But, for the first time,
1094
00:56:54,786 --> 00:56:57,205
it felt like he really lost the people.
1095
00:56:58,206 --> 00:57:00,792
[Kanye] ♪ Because the Devil's
Tryna break me down ♪
1096
00:57:01,918 --> 00:57:06,005
♪ The only thing that I pray
Is that my feet don't fail me now ♪

-[music playing]
-[chorus singing]
1098
00:57:16,099 --> 00:57:17,433
[Coodie] Later that spring,
1099
00:57:17,517 --> 00:57:20,270
Kanye started a gospel choir
called Sunday Service.
1100
00:57:21,479 --> 00:57:24,065
And with everything
that had happened a year before,
1101
00:57:24,149 --> 00:57:27,026
I saw that a lot of people
were questioning his intent.
1102
00:57:27,110 --> 00:57:30,196
[reporter 1]
The idea of someone as confused as Kanye…
1103
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,241
-[reporter 2] It's convenient.
-[reporter 3] Is it to sell records?
1104
00:57:33,324 --> 00:57:36,494
[reporter 4] Is Kanye trying to resurrect
his career with Sunday Service?
1105
00:57:36,578 --> 00:57:38,580
[Coodie] When I took my next trip to LA,
1106
00:57:38,663 --> 00:57:41,958
he invited me to come to his studio
to see what he was working on.
1107
00:57:43,042 --> 00:57:45,670
I hoped that this visit
would give me a better idea
1108
00:57:45,753 --> 00:57:47,672
of where he was really at in his life.
1109
00:57:48,381 --> 00:57:52,427
But by now,
I honestly had no idea what to expect.
1110
00:58:02,729 --> 00:58:06,107
[Kanye] ♪ Use this gospel for protection ♪
1111
00:58:07,317 --> 00:58:10,487
Just use the "for protection" part.
Then, the other gospel part.
1112
00:58:10,570 --> 00:58:13,114
[choir vocalizing]
1113
00:58:43,436 --> 00:58:47,106
You know, people started coming
to Sunday Service to see the choir.
1114
00:58:47,190 --> 00:58:50,610
-No, you come to service to see Christ.
-[man] Mm-hmm.
1115
00:58:50,693 --> 00:58:52,862
To him… For that light to be shown.
1116
00:58:52,946 --> 00:58:54,155
It's not about…
1117
00:58:54,239 --> 00:58:57,784
What we're doing is…
Me being a full, humble,
1118
00:58:57,867 --> 00:59:01,412
fall-to-the-floor service to Christ
1119
00:59:01,496 --> 00:59:03,831
for more people to understand Him
1120
00:59:03,915 --> 00:59:06,834
and to see Christ.
1121
00:59:07,418 --> 00:59:11,464
Like, even when I was dead, uh,
1122
00:59:11,548 --> 00:59:13,508
time will move by so fast
1123
00:59:13,591 --> 00:59:16,386
that I dealt
with a lot of fear and anxiety.
1124
00:59:16,469 --> 00:59:21,307
And now that, you know,
I'm, uh, reborn, it's, um…
1125
00:59:22,850 --> 00:59:23,726
[clicks tongue]
1126
00:59:23,810 --> 00:59:27,438
Uh, every day, every moment,
is, like, the best…
1127
00:59:28,439 --> 00:59:30,400
Uh, is the best day of my life.
1128
00:59:30,483 --> 00:59:34,487
Each day keeps getting better 'cause
I had all the days before, and this day.
1129
00:59:34,571 --> 00:59:38,866
Even the days that have the pain
and things that you grow from,
1130
00:59:38,950 --> 00:59:41,661
you need to really appreciate
the gift of life.
1131
00:59:41,744 --> 00:59:43,246
-That we get to be here.
-Mm-hmm.
1132
00:59:43,329 --> 00:59:45,415
That God made us in His image.
1133
00:59:45,498 --> 00:59:48,293
I'll do things where I'll just see a sign.
1134
00:59:48,376 --> 00:59:50,503
Like, if I say something out loud,
1135
00:59:52,255 --> 00:59:56,259
it's like a voice in my head,
or my mom talking to me,
1136
00:59:56,342 --> 00:59:59,345
or God telling me something.
1137
00:59:59,429 --> 01:00:03,975
So, if we were driving
the four-by-four through the property,
1138
01:00:04,058 --> 01:00:07,895
and we could see…
One of the things we could see, um…
1139
01:00:09,105 --> 01:00:10,315
Uh…
1140
01:00:11,232 --> 01:00:14,527
Was this white house
in the middle of some greenery.
1141
01:00:14,611 --> 01:00:18,031
Wasn't no house but the greenery.
And I just said, um…
1142
01:00:18,823 --> 01:00:21,659
"We gotta get
the white house out of the view."
1143
01:00:22,452 --> 01:00:23,286
Right?
1144
01:00:23,369 --> 01:00:30,043
And then I came back
and took the Trump tweet off of the board.
1145
01:00:30,793 --> 01:00:34,422
Because it needs to be The Bible
at the top.
1146
01:00:34,505 --> 01:00:36,841
And I understand that
I got my Black Card back.
1147
01:00:36,924 --> 01:00:39,927
And people are like,
"Oh, man, it's all good. You liked Trump."
1148
01:00:40,011 --> 01:00:42,472
All that. But it's like,
no, it's not about that.
1149
01:00:42,555 --> 01:00:46,059
'Cause we putting too much energy.
We running around like…
1150
01:00:46,142 --> 01:00:47,560
No. God's got that anyway.
1151
01:00:47,644 --> 01:00:49,937
It was always in His plan.
1152
01:00:50,021 --> 01:00:52,023
"Okay, Ye, go away for a year."
1153
01:00:52,607 --> 01:00:55,360
"All you need to… Just chill out."
1154
01:00:55,443 --> 01:00:59,656
"And then when you're ready to serve me,
it's going to be back-to-back."
1155
01:00:59,739 --> 01:01:03,076
We don't even know what's gonna happen
a week from now. Gonna be…
1156
01:01:03,159 --> 01:01:06,496
We just clear the runway.
Like it was College Dropout time.
1157
01:01:06,579 --> 01:01:10,750
We're gonna be bringing,
yo, like, literally Arrowstar.
1158
01:01:10,833 --> 01:01:13,461
Like, the person who taught me
how to rap. You know?
1159
01:01:13,544 --> 01:01:15,797
Boogz and Brian, we're sharing records.
1160
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:16,964
J. Ivy, Coodie…
1161
01:01:17,048 --> 01:01:19,759
Look, I've got
all kind of family around me.
1162
01:01:19,842 --> 01:01:23,012
It's like the opposite
of some of the other environments
1163
01:01:23,096 --> 01:01:26,140
on those other records
where we were chasing the nonsense.
1164
01:01:26,933 --> 01:01:30,186
[man] How do you think Christians
are going to react to the album?
1165
01:01:30,269 --> 01:01:33,773
[Kanye] They're gonna be overwhelmed.
1166
01:01:33,856 --> 01:01:38,861
It's going to be
just overwhelming support.
1167
01:01:39,737 --> 01:01:43,366
This is no more about all the rap
that we grew up on and all that.
1168
01:01:43,449 --> 01:01:45,576
We've… We've exceeded that.
1169
01:01:53,584 --> 01:01:58,464
♪ Up from the ashes, into the sky ♪
1170
01:02:00,133 --> 01:02:05,471
♪ Found a redeemer, how I survive ♪
1171
01:02:05,555 --> 01:02:06,848
Okay. We out here.
1172
01:02:07,890 --> 01:02:10,518
Last Sunday Service.
You know what I'm talking about?
1173
01:02:10,601 --> 01:02:13,896
We got OG, Ice-Gre.
1174
01:02:13,980 --> 01:02:16,107
I heard this might be the last.
We don't know yet.
1175
01:02:16,190 --> 01:02:17,734
-[Greg] Yeah.
-[Coodie] But we here.
1176
01:02:17,817 --> 01:02:19,736
[Greg] It's going on the road.
1177
01:02:19,819 --> 01:02:23,156
[reporter 1] This Sunday Service thing
has now turned into a tour.
1178
01:02:23,239 --> 01:02:25,533
-They are going places.
-[reporter 2] Yeah.
1179
01:02:25,616 --> 01:02:29,162
[reporter 3] It is phenomenal
to have that spiritual focus.
1180
01:02:29,245 --> 01:02:30,997
[reporter 4] His path is so interesting.
1181
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,833
Where he's been to now have
this Sunday Service thing,
1182
01:02:33,916 --> 01:02:35,668
it's absolutely amazing.
1183
01:02:35,752 --> 01:02:38,421
[Kanye]
I thought I was the god of culture,
1184
01:02:38,504 --> 01:02:40,673
but really, culture was my god.
1185
01:02:41,215 --> 01:02:43,593
Now that I'm in service to Christ,
1186
01:02:43,676 --> 01:02:46,387
my job is to spread the gospel.
1187
01:02:46,471 --> 01:02:49,474
And in that, I'm no longer a slave.
1188
01:02:49,557 --> 01:02:50,391
I'm free.
1189
01:02:50,475 --> 01:02:52,477
His new album is called Jesus Is King…
1190
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,772
[reporter 1] Jesus Is King is the rapper's
ninth consecutive number-one album.
1191
01:02:55,855 --> 01:02:58,399
It's given the rapper
his biggest streaming week ever.
1192
01:02:58,483 --> 01:03:01,402
[reporter 2]
Everything that Kanye West does is a hit.
1193
01:03:01,486 --> 01:03:02,904
Doesn't matter what it is.
1194
01:03:02,987 --> 01:03:05,031
[reporter 3]
Kanye West recently announced plans
1195
01:03:05,114 --> 01:03:07,909
to move his Yeezy shoe brand
back to the United States.
1196
01:03:07,992 --> 01:03:10,077
[reporter 4]
More specifically Cody, Wyoming.
1197
01:03:10,161 --> 01:03:14,081
West says he'll use his
4,000-acre ranch in the Cowboy State
1198
01:03:14,165 --> 01:03:15,917
as the company's headquarters.
1199
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,004
[Kanye] Everybody wants a similar thing,
and that's for the world to be better
1200
01:03:20,087 --> 01:03:21,756
for their children.
1201
01:03:22,548 --> 01:03:23,674
God is using me.
1202
01:03:38,231 --> 01:03:40,358
[reporter 1] The WHO just declared this
1203
01:03:40,441 --> 01:03:43,903
-a global health emergency.
-[reporter 2] The situation is evolving.
1204
01:03:43,986 --> 01:03:46,072
[reporter 3] Desperate measures
in some states
1205
01:03:46,155 --> 01:03:48,407
to slow the spread
of the coronavirus as you can…
1206
01:03:48,491 --> 01:03:50,576
[Coodie] When COVID-19 broke out,
1207
01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:53,579
everyone was uncertain
of what was gonna happen next.
1208
01:03:54,747 --> 01:03:58,292
With everything shut down,
I knew that this was the right time
1209
01:03:58,376 --> 01:04:00,461
to finally put together the documentary
1210
01:04:00,545 --> 01:04:03,256
that I had started filming
over 20 years ago.
1211
01:04:03,339 --> 01:04:05,091
Coodie's doing a documentary on me.
1212
01:04:05,174 --> 01:04:06,175
-[man] No way.
-Yeah.
1213
01:04:06,259 --> 01:04:09,095
Still doing your documentary?
I thought it was finished.
1214
01:04:09,178 --> 01:04:11,222
-[man] No.
-[Coodie] It'll never be finished.
1215
01:04:11,305 --> 01:04:13,349
This is Coodie. He shot all the footage.
1216
01:04:13,432 --> 01:04:15,101
-[man 1] Coodie, man!
-[man 2] Coodie!
1217
01:04:16,394 --> 01:04:18,354
[Coodie]
Looking through hundreds of tapes,
1218
01:04:18,437 --> 01:04:22,567
there were so many important moments
that had been locked away and forgotten.
1219
01:04:23,609 --> 01:04:25,069
As we started editing,
1220
01:04:25,152 --> 01:04:27,446
I couldn't help
but feel grateful for all the times
1221
01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:29,991
that me and Kanye shared over the years.
1222
01:04:30,074 --> 01:04:32,326
Especially seeing how far we had come.
1223
01:04:34,745 --> 01:04:37,790
From "Jesus Walks" to Jesus Is King,
1224
01:04:38,416 --> 01:04:40,042
things have come full circle.
1225
01:04:41,586 --> 01:04:43,921
God had directed us all to this point.
1226
01:04:44,964 --> 01:04:48,551
And now it felt like
our movie had the perfect ending.
1227
01:04:53,264 --> 01:04:54,765
At least that's what I thought.
1228
01:04:55,308 --> 01:04:58,311
[reporter 1] Another name
getting into the race for president.
1229
01:04:58,394 --> 01:05:00,688
And this is a big name,
but a surprising name.
1230
01:05:00,771 --> 01:05:02,356
[reporter 2] Yeezy tweeted yesterday,
1231
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,943
"We must now realize the promise
of America by trusting God."
1232
01:05:06,027 --> 01:05:08,487
"I am running for president
of the United States."
1233
01:05:08,571 --> 01:05:10,656
"
1234
01:05:10,948 --> 01:05:14,243
-[reporter 3] It's an attention grab.
-[reporter 4] …serious times.
1235
01:05:14,327 --> 01:05:17,288
[reporter 5]
None of this should even be a story.
1236
01:05:17,371 --> 01:05:19,332
[Coodie] We had worked
on the film for months,
1237
01:05:19,415 --> 01:05:22,376
when we saw that Kanye
was actually running for president.
1238
01:05:22,460 --> 01:05:23,461
[telephone ringing]
1239
01:05:23,544 --> 01:05:24,795
[Coodie] That's when he called,
1240
01:05:24,879 --> 01:05:28,883
asking to use some footage for an album
that he was dedicating to his mom.
1241
01:05:29,550 --> 01:05:30,593
I said, "Of course."
1242
01:05:31,594 --> 01:05:34,639
Then told him I wanted to show him
what we'd been working on.
1243
01:05:36,432 --> 01:05:38,768
So, I flew out to meet with him
the next day.
1244
01:06:05,878 --> 01:06:08,798
[Kanye] Okay, so…
So, move forward with the…
1245
01:06:10,091 --> 01:06:12,969
with this running for president
and all things needed.
1246
01:06:13,052 --> 01:06:14,512
Full steam ahead on that.
1247
01:06:14,595 --> 01:06:16,180
Also, I have a gentleman, Coodie,
1248
01:06:16,263 --> 01:06:18,557
that I've been working with
basically my whole life.
1249
01:06:18,641 --> 01:06:20,935
That has seven hours…
1250
01:06:21,018 --> 01:06:23,604
He has a 7.5-hour documentary.
1251
01:06:23,688 --> 01:06:26,649
I'd like for you to talk to him today
about where his contracts are.
1252
01:06:27,233 --> 01:06:28,985
He's actually with me right now.
1253
01:06:29,110 --> 01:06:32,113
Uh… Also, can you send that teaser?
1254
01:06:32,196 --> 01:06:35,116
I want to show it to people.
You guys get on the phone.
1255
01:06:35,199 --> 01:06:38,619
So, those are the two things
I just wanted to cover right now.

put his mind on something,

01:08:54,255 --> 01:08:56,423
he wouldn't stop
until he accomplished it.
1287
01:08:58,384 --> 01:09:01,970
Everything I watched him do,
he always figured out a way.
1288
01:09:03,013 --> 01:09:06,267
I was just trying
to understand why, at this time,
1289
01:09:06,350 --> 01:09:08,352
he felt the need to run for president.
1290
01:09:10,979 --> 01:09:14,524
But the one thing I know about Kanye
is he hate the word "can't."
1291
01:09:15,943 --> 01:09:18,821
So, when he told me
he was putting his name on the ballot,
1292
01:09:18,904 --> 01:09:21,573
the only thing I could think to say was,

But before we left DR,
1299
01:09:48,184 --> 01:09:52,354
we went to have drinks with some of
Kanye's potential real estate partners.

I do not communicate in a way
that people understand in public,

and we're in a world of lies.

01:11:56,395 --> 01:11:59,815
There's an execution style
that was performed on me
1342
01:12:00,858 --> 01:12:04,862
over the past six-seven years,
post Taylor Swift,
1343
01:12:04,945 --> 01:12:07,656
where they tie one arm…
1344
01:12:08,657 --> 01:12:11,452
both arms, both legs, to four horses.
1345
01:12:12,369 --> 01:12:13,787
All in different directions.
1346
01:12:13,871 --> 01:12:15,956
-[exclaims]
-[Mike chuckles]
1347
01:12:16,874 --> 01:12:19,626
[Kanye] They didn't know
they was dealing with Deadpool though.
1348
01:12:20,627 --> 01:12:22,046
-Deadpool.
-[Bryan] Really?
1349
01:12:23,213 --> 01:12:24,840
[Kanye] Those limbs grew back.
1350
01:12:28,093 --> 01:12:30,804
[Coodie] I had never captured
this side of Kanye before.
1351
01:12:31,472 --> 01:12:33,932
And it just didn't feel right
to keep filming,
1352
01:12:35,142 --> 01:12:36,685
so I cut the camera off.
1353
01:12:42,024 --> 01:12:44,318
I flew back to New York the next day.
1354
01:12:44,401 --> 01:12:48,238
And the day after that,
Kanye was all over the news.
1355
01:12:51,241 --> 01:12:52,826
[indistinct chatter]
1356
01:12:54,244 --> 01:12:58,123
[reporter] It looks like Kanye West
still has his eyes set on the White House.
1357
01:12:58,207 --> 01:13:00,459
The rapper held his first political rally.
1358
01:13:00,542 --> 01:13:02,211
[reporter 1] Talking about abortion…
1359
01:13:02,294 --> 01:13:06,006
[reporter 2] "Women who don't abort
should be offered a million dollars each."
1360
01:13:06,090 --> 01:13:08,008
[reporter 3] He went after Harriet Tubman.
1361
01:13:08,092 --> 01:13:09,718
[reporter 4] Diversity in corporate…
1362
01:13:09,802 --> 01:13:11,136
[reporter 5] It's incoherent.
1363
01:13:11,220 --> 01:13:14,390
[reporter 6] None of it, in its totality,
made any sense.
1364
01:13:14,473 --> 01:13:17,476
[reporter 7] At one point,
he broke down into tears.
1365
01:13:17,559 --> 01:13:21,772
wanted his mom to have an abortion
while she was pregnant with him.
1366
01:13:21,855 --> 01:13:25,401
[reporter 8] Kanye's bombshell confession
comes after reports claim
1367
01:13:25,484 --> 01:13:28,570
that the rapper is in the midst
of a bipolar episode.
1368
01:13:31,198 --> 01:13:34,243
[Coodie] A few days after seeing him
break down on TV,
1369
01:13:34,326 --> 01:13:37,079
I left for Wyoming to check on him.
1370
01:13:39,665 --> 01:13:42,042
-[Coodie] Yeah, right there?
-[Coodie's wife] Maybe?
1371
01:13:42,126 --> 01:13:43,627
[turn signal ticking]
1372
01:13:52,177 --> 01:13:54,513
Upstairs is kind of where his kids,
when they're here,
1373
01:13:54,596 --> 01:13:56,223
they go to school in their playroom.
1374
01:13:57,307 --> 01:13:58,183
That's fine.
1375
01:13:58,267 --> 01:13:59,935

01:14:07,693 --> 01:14:10,779

01:14:11,405 --> 01:14:12,781
-[Common] Okay.
-I love him.

-[Coodie] Rash.
1379
01:14:14,908 --> 01:14:17,327

Boy, we out here.
1380
01:14:17,411 --> 01:14:18,996
[Common] Coodie. What up? What up, bro?
1381
01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:21,373
-[Coodie] We out here.
-[Common chuckles] Oh, my God.
1382
01:14:22,207 --> 01:14:24,001
[Kanye] Yeah, just text it to me.
1383

[Common speaking indistinctly over phone]
1384
01:14:28,505 --> 01:14:29,631
[Coodie] Yeah, man.
1385
01:14:29,715 --> 01:14:30,716
You already know.
1386
01:14:31,341 --> 01:14:33,844
[Common] Good stuff. I'm excited, man.
1387
01:14:33,927 --> 01:14:36,680
I'm glad to hear Ye's voice.
1388
01:14:36,763 --> 01:14:39,224
Y'all out there with him, it's good.
1389
01:14:39,308 --> 01:14:42,978
[Coodie] You know, that's our brother,
man. We know we out here kicking it
1390
01:14:43,061 --> 01:14:46,648
in this big old, um, acres of land.
1391
01:14:48,025 --> 01:14:51,195
-[Common] Yeezy country.
-[Coodie] We're spreading love, man.
1392
01:14:51,695 --> 01:14:54,364
-[Common] Yes, sir.
-[Kanye] Yo, I just sent you that joint.
1393
01:14:54,990 --> 01:14:56,909
-[Common] Okay.
-[Kanye] Also, I'm gonna…

01:15:11,173 --> 01:15:13,425
If I'm in your space, you can let me know.
1396
01:15:14,092 --> 01:15:15,636
No. It's good. It's good.
1397
01:15:16,345 --> 01:15:17,763
So, what are we, uh…
1398
01:15:17,846 --> 01:15:19,097
Basically, we're…
1399
01:15:19,181 --> 01:15:22,559
This is something you might deal with,
where I'm telling the team
1400
01:15:22,643 --> 01:15:24,144
a million times what I want.
1401
01:15:24,228 --> 01:15:26,480
And it's subtly crushing
my soul and my ego
1402
01:15:26,563 --> 01:15:29,191
and my respect and my dignity as a boss.
1403
01:15:29,274 --> 01:15:31,109
It's only gonna be like this.

01:16:30,252 --> 01:16:33,964
You gonna come back to the ranch with us?
We're gonna fly there after that.
1422
01:16:34,881 --> 01:16:38,176
[Rick] Well, I was gonna fly out,
hang out with you for a couple hours,
1423
01:16:38,260 --> 01:16:39,678
then come back home after.
1424

I think you should come to the ranch.

[Rick] Really?
1426
01:16:44,558 --> 01:16:47,144
-[Kanye] Uh, no pressure.
-[Rick] Let me figure it out.
1427
01:16:47,227 --> 01:16:50,897
No, of course. Let me figure out
how that would work. So that would be on…
1428
01:16:51,440 --> 01:16:53,859
If I were to do that,
then I'd do that on Sunday instead.
1429
01:16:53,942 --> 01:16:56,403
Let me see if I can
move things around to do that.
1430
01:16:57,112 --> 01:16:59,656
-[Kanye] Okay.
-[Rick] Great. Couldn't be more excited.
1431
01:16:59,740 --> 01:17:00,657
Mm.
1432
01:17:01,241 --> 01:17:03,035
[Kanye] I always tell people this,
1433
01:17:03,118 --> 01:17:05,329
that when I do the dictionary game,
1434
01:17:05,412 --> 01:17:09,166
you know, the word "excited"
has a bit of negativity in it.
1435
01:17:09,249 --> 01:17:11,418
If someone gave you
a brand-new airplane…
1436
01:17:11,501 --> 01:17:14,963
[chuckles] and they told you
it was across the street,
1437
01:17:15,047 --> 01:17:17,924
or if someone gave you a new car,
told you it was across the street,
1438
01:17:18,008 --> 01:17:20,927
you might run so fast
that you get hit by a car,
1439
01:17:21,011 --> 01:17:22,554
trying to get to your new car.
1440
01:17:22,638 --> 01:17:25,098
So, that's the reason
why I would say "energized."
1441
01:17:25,182 --> 01:17:26,016
[Rick] I see.
1442
01:17:26,099 --> 01:17:28,518
Because even with Black culture
and woke culture,
1443
01:17:28,602 --> 01:17:30,771
they try to just excite us so much.
1444
01:17:30,854 --> 01:17:33,273
We get so excited about this,
excited about that.

-So…

-I'm learning the Zen vibes.
-[Rick] I like it.
1447
01:17:37,110 --> 01:17:38,695
-Yeah.
-[Rick] It's a good word.
1448
01:17:38,779 --> 01:17:39,863
Yeah.
1449
01:17:39,946 --> 01:17:43,533
All right. Well, I wasn't saying that
to correct you. I was just saying…
1450
01:17:43,617 --> 01:17:46,411
[Rick] No, I appreciate it.
I like listening, I like to learn.
1451
01:17:46,495 --> 01:17:49,581
Yeah. All right, well… Love you, brother.
1452
01:17:50,165 --> 01:17:52,459
[Rick] I love you too.
Send me the mix, send me the music,

01:17:52,542 --> 01:17:55,170

Now I know we got to rewrite
some of the parts to this song

01:18:42,843 --> 01:18:45,470
'cause I want it to be all positive.

Uh…
1466
01:18:51,810 --> 01:18:55,188
I wanna do…
Instead of saying what doesn't define you,
1467
01:18:55,272 --> 01:18:56,815
what does define us?
1468
01:18:56,898 --> 01:18:59,317
'Cause, "Remind me that don't define me,"
1469
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:00,569
it has negatives in it.
1470
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:03,739
Like, "A mind is a terrible thing
to waste." We grew up on that.
1471
01:19:03,822 --> 01:19:09,327
Think about what they said though.
"A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
1472
01:19:09,411 --> 01:19:13,123
You know what I'm saying?
So you got to be really mindful of…
1473
01:19:13,206 --> 01:19:14,458
So, how do we… 'Cause…
1474
01:19:14,541 --> 01:19:17,627

That's great.
1476
01:19:19,379 --> 01:19:22,299
But, "Remind me that don't define me,"
it's already saying,
1477
01:19:22,382 --> 01:19:27,971
"Man, deplorable. Y'all trying to make me
look crazy for crying about abortion."
1478
01:19:28,054 --> 01:19:29,306
Now I'm a crazy man.
1479
01:19:29,389 --> 01:19:31,725
Now everybody calling me,
"I hope you're okay."

1482
01:19:35,270 --> 01:19:37,731
If somebody say,
"I just got an abortion," on TV,
1483
01:19:37,814 --> 01:19:40,192
y'all will be like,
"Oh, man, that's cool."
1484
01:19:40,275 --> 01:19:42,736
If I said that my dad
almost aborted Kanye West
1485
01:19:42,819 --> 01:19:45,614
and Kanye West almost aborted North West,
and I'm crying about it,
1486
01:19:45,697 --> 01:19:48,408
you wanna make me look like
I'm motherfucking crazy.

We're going to keep praying.
I know God, he's protecting us.

01:20:51,847 --> 01:20:53,348
And hugging us tight.
1503
01:21:03,191 --> 01:21:05,026
[Kanye] I'm feeling good.
1504
01:21:05,110 --> 01:21:07,612
We just came to San Francisco.
1505
01:21:07,696 --> 01:21:09,948
Do you remember
when we were in the Dominican,
1506
01:21:10,031 --> 01:21:12,993
that house we went to?
And it had those really nice bowls?
1507
01:21:13,785 --> 01:21:16,872
-[Kanye's father] Nice what?
-Those nice bowls
1508
01:21:16,955 --> 01:21:19,958
at the house we went to
in the Dominican, the other house.
1509
01:21:21,918 --> 01:21:23,879
Remember the second house we went to?
1510
01:21:24,754 --> 01:21:26,798
We were on the beach at the other house,
1511
01:21:26,882 --> 01:21:28,216
the other location, right?
1512
01:21:28,300 --> 01:21:31,386
-[music playing on stereo]
-[Kanye] Come on, bro. Stop that, man.
1513
01:21:31,887 --> 01:21:34,681
-I'm talking to my dad. Chill.
-[man 1] He got it, Kanye.
1514
01:21:34,764 --> 01:21:37,601
-[Kanye] Why you doing that, man?
-[man 2] I lost memory or something.
1515
01:21:37,684 --> 01:21:38,894
-[music stops]
-What about it?
1516
01:21:38,977 --> 01:21:42,606
What I'm saying, is I'm pulling up to
the artist's studio that made those bowls.
1517
01:21:43,189 --> 01:21:46,109
-[Kanye's father] Oh, okay.
-It's very relaxing, very soothing.
1518
01:21:46,192 --> 01:21:49,487
Very stress-free for me. [chuckles]
It's very fun.
1519
01:21:50,655 --> 01:21:52,115
And you're in San Francisco?
1520
01:21:52,198 --> 01:21:55,410
Yeah. I'm in San Francisco,
but we're going back to Cody tonight.
1521
01:21:56,202 --> 01:21:57,203
[Kanye's father] Okay.
1522
01:21:58,330 --> 01:21:59,289
All right, well…
1523
01:22:00,457 --> 01:22:01,708
You're doing okay, right?
1524
01:22:02,208 --> 01:22:04,794
Yeah. Um, how do you feel?
1525
01:22:06,296 --> 01:22:08,465
I feel good. I'm just concerned about you.
1526
01:22:09,007 --> 01:22:11,051
Yeah. Well, you know…
1527
01:22:11,134 --> 01:22:14,137
When you go out
and say things like, "No abortion,"
1528
01:22:14,220 --> 01:22:15,764
you know how the media is going to be.
1529
01:22:15,847 --> 01:22:18,308
That's a very strong, Christian statement.
1530
01:22:18,391 --> 01:22:20,477
And Christians are scrutinized
1531
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:25,482
and killed for our beliefs
and following the word of God, you know?
1532
01:22:25,565 --> 01:22:27,108
And I stand up for what…
1533
01:22:27,192 --> 01:22:30,612
I use my voice
and I won't not use my voice.
1534
01:22:30,695 --> 01:22:35,200
Uh… Because my voice is actually
more powerful than even my finances.
1535
01:22:35,283 --> 01:22:37,535
So, they can't control me
with finances.
1536
01:22:39,204 --> 01:22:40,163
[man] That's deep.
1537
01:22:41,581 --> 01:22:45,377
[Kanye's father] I'm just saying,
write your speech next time, Kanye.
1538
01:22:46,211 --> 01:22:47,045
Okay.
1539
01:22:47,170 --> 01:22:48,838
[Coodie] Pop, we got him. He good now.
1540
01:22:48,922 --> 01:22:50,131
Man, hold on one second.
1541
01:22:50,215 --> 01:22:52,884
My dad don't even remember you.
What're you saying?
1542
01:22:52,968 --> 01:22:55,470
-[Coodie] But if he asks, we got you.
-What'd he say?
1543
01:22:55,553 --> 01:22:56,763
He said, "Pop, we got him."
1544
01:22:56,846 --> 01:22:59,224
That's one of my best friends,
I've known for 30 years,
1545
01:22:59,307 --> 01:23:01,226
that's in the car with me right now.
1546
01:23:01,309 --> 01:23:02,268
All right.
1547
01:23:02,352 --> 01:23:04,062
[Coodie] He's like my little brother.
1548
01:23:04,145 --> 01:23:05,480
Yo, let's write it next time.
1549
01:23:05,563 --> 01:23:08,066
[man] I'll write the speech
before you say something.
1550
01:23:08,149 --> 01:23:11,569
You know what I'm saying?
The first time I rode a bike, I fell.
1551
01:23:11,653 --> 01:23:13,363
[all chuckle]
1552
01:23:14,823 --> 01:23:15,949
[Kanye's father] Okay.
1553
01:23:17,951 --> 01:23:20,286
I'mma get to the point
of popping wheelies.
1554
01:23:21,955 --> 01:23:22,831
All right.
1555
01:23:22,914 --> 01:23:25,959
You remember by the time
I used to learn how to ride a bike,
1556
01:23:26,042 --> 01:23:28,211
I was riding on top of the handlebars.
1557
01:23:28,294 --> 01:23:31,673
But when we were in Atlanta
and we went down that hill,
1558
01:23:31,756 --> 01:23:33,800
riding that bike. I remember that.
1559
01:23:34,384 --> 01:23:36,469
-Yes. Yeah.
-You fell for the first time.
1560
01:23:36,553 --> 01:23:39,597
The first time I fell was by the time…
[continues indistinctly]
1561
01:23:40,849 --> 01:23:42,600
I was riding on the handlebars.
1562
01:23:44,060 --> 01:23:47,063
[Kanye's father] But you also remember
I ran beside you to keep you up?
1563
01:23:47,147 --> 01:23:48,982
[Kanye] Well, I need you beside me.
1564
01:23:49,065 --> 01:23:52,068
-All right. I'll let you go do your thing.
-Okay. We'll talk soon.
1565
01:23:52,152 --> 01:23:53,695
-Hey. How are you?
-Hi!
1566
01:23:53,778 --> 01:23:55,739
-I love your pants.
-So nice to see you.
1567
01:23:55,822 --> 01:23:57,490
-[Kanye] Good to see you too.
-Come on in.
1568
01:23:57,574 --> 01:24:00,452
-[Kanye] This is my dad over here.
-Hi!
1569
01:24:00,535 --> 01:24:02,871
Oh! Hi! Show him the studio.
1570
01:24:02,954 --> 01:24:05,498
[Kanye] Yeah. Look at the studio.
Look at what she makes.
1571
01:24:05,582 --> 01:24:07,625
-[Tina] Hi, everybody. Come on in.
-[man] Hello.
1572
01:24:07,709 --> 01:24:09,294
[indistinct chatter]
1573
01:24:11,046 --> 01:24:14,507
[Kanye] We flew all the way to see her.
She makes these from scratch, herself.
1574
01:24:15,091 --> 01:24:17,594
It's beautiful. Oh, wow, this is nice.
1575
01:24:18,803 --> 01:24:20,055
We know how to do it now.
1576
01:24:20,138 --> 01:24:22,015
[Coodie]
Hey, let me say "peace" to your pops.
1577
01:24:22,098 --> 01:24:24,934
Peace. How you doing, Pops?
How's it going, man?
1578
01:24:25,018 --> 01:24:26,478
This is Coodie, man.
1579
01:24:26,561 --> 01:24:29,731
Yes, sir. I've been around with Ye
from the beginning, brother.
1580
01:24:29,814 --> 01:24:32,108
Yes, sir. Pleasure. Pleasure.
1581
01:24:32,192 --> 01:24:33,693
Respect to you. Yes, sir.
1582
01:24:33,777 --> 01:24:37,614
He did the "Through the Wire" video.
He did a bunch of it. First documentary.
1583
01:24:37,697 --> 01:24:39,240
He's got some good videos.
1584
01:24:39,324 --> 01:24:41,534
Yo, let's send what you made to my dad.
1585
01:24:41,618 --> 01:24:43,369
[Coodie] Yeah, yeah. For sure.
1586
01:24:43,453 --> 01:24:44,537
[Kanye] Uh…
1587
01:24:44,621 --> 01:24:46,206
-Jean. Cody.
-[Coodie] Yes.
1588
01:24:46,289 --> 01:24:47,499
-It's Coodie.
-[Coodie] Coodie.
1589
01:24:47,582 --> 01:24:50,210
-Coodie.
-I say, "Cody," but that is Coodie.
1590
01:24:50,293 --> 01:24:53,671
-Wait. So, wait. You say Cody or Coodie?
-[Coodie] Coodie.
1591
01:24:53,755 --> 01:24:55,799
-Coodie.
-[Coodie] C-O-O-D-I-E.
1592
01:24:55,882 --> 01:24:58,384
So, got it. It's "Coo" not "Co."
Got it. Okay.
1593
01:24:58,468 --> 01:25:00,136
[Coodie] That's my father's nickname.
1594
01:25:00,220 --> 01:25:01,888
-Got it. Okay.
-[Coodie] So, yeah.
1595
01:25:02,472 --> 01:25:06,893
These are my cushions.
They always flatten…
1596
01:25:07,644 --> 01:25:11,606
We have to beat Apple. We have to beat
Disney and Ford, but we'll make it,
1597
01:25:11,689 --> 01:25:15,110
because of our connections with Adidas,
our connections with GAP,
1598
01:25:15,193 --> 01:25:17,821
but, more than anything,
our connection with God.
1599
01:25:17,904 --> 01:25:21,825
So, I just feel like this crew
that's coming together,
1600
01:25:21,908 --> 01:25:27,455
it's going to change education,
change sanitation, change meditation,
1601
01:25:27,539 --> 01:25:29,624
change the way we think
and connect with Earth,
1602
01:25:29,707 --> 01:25:31,000
the way we connect with God.
1603
01:25:35,839 --> 01:25:39,884

01:25:56,276 --> 01:25:59,779
[Tucker] He launched his campaign
at a rally in South Carolina last night.
1610
01:25:59,863 --> 01:26:02,490
His remarks were not focus-grouped.
1611
01:26:02,574 --> 01:26:05,618
There weren't a lot of
platitudes or clichés.
1612
01:26:05,702 --> 01:26:09,372
They were as unusual, in fact,
as eccentric as the man himself.
1613
01:26:09,455 --> 01:26:12,000
But, in some ways, they were remarkable
and worth watching.
1614
01:26:12,083 --> 01:26:13,334
[man] He's talking about Trump.
1615
01:26:14,502 --> 01:26:17,172
[Kanye over video]
Freedom does not come from an election.
1616
01:26:17,255 --> 01:26:21,217
But freedom comes from
you not loading up pornography.
1617
01:26:21,301 --> 01:26:24,470
The freedom comes from you
not taking the Percocet.
1618
01:26:24,554 --> 01:26:28,850
The freedom comes from you
not doubting your brothers and sisters.
1619
01:26:28,933 --> 01:26:31,311
The freedom comes from you
putting that gun down
1620
01:26:31,394 --> 01:26:33,229
and not shooting people
at the gas station!
1621
01:26:33,313 --> 01:26:36,274
[man] We have to go through all this
and talk about what you said,
1622
01:26:36,357 --> 01:26:38,234
as I had to take Percocet
because I'm in pain.
1623
01:26:38,318 --> 01:26:40,403
[Kanye over video] …and God's people.
1624
01:26:40,486 --> 01:26:41,654
[Tucker] Huh.
1625
01:26:42,363 --> 01:26:47,994
A celebrity musician telling you
that freedom does not come from porn
1626
01:26:48,077 --> 01:26:51,372
or drugs or pulling a gun on people.
1627
01:26:52,165 --> 01:26:53,458
It comes from God.
1628
01:26:53,541 --> 01:26:55,376
He said a lot of things, by the way.
1629
01:26:55,460 --> 01:26:57,754
Some of them we wouldn't
agree with at all.
1630
01:26:57,837 --> 01:27:00,173
[man] What's his name?
What's this white boy name?
1631
01:27:00,256 --> 01:27:02,467
The white boy talking.
1632
01:27:02,550 --> 01:27:05,345
[Tucker] …to any woman who has a baby.
But it was interesting.
1633
01:27:05,428 --> 01:27:07,347
And maybe the most arresting moment came
1634
01:27:07,430 --> 01:27:09,933
when Kanye West talked about abortion.
Watch this.
1635
01:27:10,016 --> 01:27:12,518
-[man] It's Tucker Carlson.
-[Kanye] Let me hear it.
1636
01:27:13,645 --> 01:27:15,980
[Kanye over video]
My dad wanted to abort me.
1637
01:27:18,608 --> 01:27:21,152
My mom saved my life.
1638
01:27:21,236 --> 01:27:25,823
There would have been no Kanye West
because my dad was too busy!
1639
01:27:32,622 --> 01:27:35,124
I almost killed my daughter!
1640
01:27:35,208 --> 01:27:39,629
Even if my wife were to divorce me
after this speech,
1641
01:27:39,712 --> 01:27:41,673
she brought North into the world.
1642
01:27:41,756 --> 01:27:43,299
She protected that child.
1643
01:27:44,759 --> 01:27:46,469
[Tucker] No speechwriter wrote that.
1644
01:27:47,095 --> 01:27:49,555
And it's a dangerous point,
if you think about it.
1645
01:27:49,639 --> 01:27:52,600
They can say they love you,
they can tell you your life matters.
1646
01:27:52,684 --> 01:27:56,604
[man]
Stop listening to this man. It's negative.
1647
01:27:56,688 --> 01:27:58,398
This is facts, bro!
1648
01:27:59,065 --> 01:28:00,441
[man] He's negative!
1649
01:28:00,525 --> 01:28:02,443
He's taking your words out of context.
1650
01:28:02,527 --> 01:28:05,822
No. He's putting them in context!
He's putting them in context.
1651
01:28:05,905 --> 01:28:09,200
[Tucker] Instead, TMZ reported
that many people in Kanye West's circle
1652
01:28:09,284 --> 01:28:11,995
believe he needs, "serious help."
1653
01:28:12,078 --> 01:28:14,539
Then sent in an anonymous
family member to explain
1654
01:28:14,622 --> 01:28:16,708
that he's experiencing a bipolar episode.
1655
01:28:16,791 --> 01:28:19,335
And by the way, maybe he is.
We don't know.
1656
01:28:19,419 --> 01:28:21,546
But it doesn't mean what he said is wrong.
1657
01:28:21,629 --> 01:28:23,423
-[Kanye] Boom! [exclaims]
-[man] Right!
1658
01:28:23,506 --> 01:28:25,049
Okay, okay.
1659
01:28:25,675 --> 01:28:26,926
I agree.
1660
01:28:27,010 --> 01:28:29,554
[Tucker] Call him crazy
before anyone can pay attention!
1661
01:28:29,637 --> 01:28:30,847

What I'm realizing now is that every part
of Kanye makes him who he is.

Even with everything that's changed,
