A superstar origin story,"jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy" is the product of an extraordinary bet made nearly a quarter-century ago: that young, then-fledgling music producer Kanye West would become a Grammy-winning headliner. Yet that front-row view of West's meteoric rise in the first two parts of this docu-trilogy then gives way to the public figure, whose quirks, contradictions and headline-making actions complicate and muddy that narrative arc.

In the broadest terms, there's something fascinating about this Netflix presentation, which had its roots in Clarence"Coodie" Simmons identifying West's potential in 1998, while hosting a public-access show in Chicago.Within a few years, Simmons had essentially become West's videographer and companion, chronicling the ups and downs of his efforts to win the respect of Roc-a-Fella Records and launch a solo career.
