Kanye West’s Career-Extensive Documentary Comes to Netflix

Kanye West’s Career-Extensive Documentary Comes to Netflix

In 2003, Kanye West released the video for his debut single “Through The Wire”, directed by Clarence “Coodie” Simmons and Chike Ozah, the directorial team known as Coodie & Chike. That same year, the duo directed a clip for Kanye’s College dropout track “Two words.” When Kanye was dissatisfied with the first two videos for ‘Jesus Walks’, he recruited Coodie & Chike to direct a third. Simmons, a fellow Chicago resident, has been filming Kanye for years – as early as 1998, as this footage shows, and by about 2002, he apparently did so with the intention of making a documentary about his life and career. Now, a few monumental events decades later, she and Ozah’s film seems to be finally appearing much longer than the standard length.
