jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy

Move forward with…

with this running for president and all things needed,

full steam ahead on that.

Also, I have a gentleman, Coodie,

that I've been working with basically my whole life.

He has a 7.5 hour documentary.

I'd like for you to talk with him today about where his contracts are.

He's actually with me right now. Those are the two things I want to cover.

Don't tweet that?

That's a nigga, man!

Can I get this?

Now we need the lyrics.

This is my point.

I got to take my retainers out.

I need my retainers out for TV!

Let me play you some stuff.

I gotta take these out in order to rap.

Make sure I get my beats, man!

Cayenne is here to see you.

Here to see Clue.

Cayenne?

I need some shit for my album, man.

Everyone else is getting beats except me.

What kind of joints you want?

Some hard street shit.

- None. - R. Kelly, nigga.

Last year, boy, that was our breakout year for both of us.

Dame, can I get this flick with you real quick?

Kanye's a good dude, man.

He has no bad intention towards anything in the world.

Nigga hit the "he wouldn't kill a fly" shit.

We're gonna sign him. He makes hot shit.

You're that next nigga, man, because what you got…

You got a combination of street, high fashion…

You got a combination, you dig what I'm saying?

And it's a spirit.

Naturally, you're not a Roc-A-Fella nigga, you know what I mean?

There's a certain energy that goes and I'm not saying it's good or bad,

but it is what it is.

It's a better written record than what Tribe was doing.

And they was doing the best shit. To me, you got the same energy.

Where niggas are bumping in they cars all day, all night long.

And it's street enough to catch the hardcore niggas

it's hip-hop enough to catch the hip-hop niggas.

You different.

I gotta stop by my assistant's crib.

He's my assistant/cousin.

To get a CD I gotta send out to DMX.

Don't hold his hairstyle against him though, y'all.

I'm trying to get a You Hear It First. It's a couple people.

Are you in touch with Sway at all?

Yeah. I did a couple for his artists.

Sway, I mean, he's got an in there at MTV News.

- Yeah. - I could talk to some people too, man.

- Kweli said I can get up and rock tonight. - Nice.

Mos, you can spit a piece of that "Two Words"?

You know how bad I wanted you, boy.

I wanted you over there with us.

This is the most beautiful city in the world right here.

Niggas don't even know how I wish I could've just…

stayed here my entire life and somehow…
