The clip shared by Netflix was filmed in New York City in 2002, possibly at the start of the film’s trajectory, if not at the very beginning. It features Kanye West and rapper and actor Mos Def performing a backstage freestyle rap, ending with the big post: “Fuck you, pay me!“It’s an intimate look at two icons of the rap scene from this period, performing to the best of their ability just for the sheer joy of being good at what they do.
jeen-yuhs has the potential to take a close look at how today’s Kanye came from then-Kanye. The Kanye seen in this clip is someone so far from his new album Donda like, say, Olivia Rodrigo, or some other totally independent artist. The star has been on a wild journey, and whether or not his opinions match his own, how he became such a monolithic megastar is sure to be a fascinating tale to watch behind the scenes.
