<a href="/profile/KanyeWest" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kanye West</a>&#8217;s career is <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-is-the-richest-black-man-in-american-history-report-news.128606.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">well-deserving of a documentary</a>, and fortunately, it seems that we&#8217;ll be getting an <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/watch-dissertation-a-kanye-west-story-mini-doc-new-video.36750.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">official one </a>later this year. Per Billboard, the hip-hop and fashion extraordinaire will be at the center of a documentary that&#8217;s been in the works for over 20 years.  Clarence “Coodie” Simmons and Chike Ozah of Coodie &amp; Chike fame sold the documentary to Netflix for $30M. The creative duo was behind the visuals for &#8220;Through The Wire&#8221; and the third version of the &#8220;Jesus Walks&#8221; video.

The yet-to-be-titled effort is set to debut later this year on the streaming platform. Simmons explained that he&#8217;s been riding with Kanye since the early years of his career in the 90s. He explained that he&#8217;s accumulated tons of never-before-seen archival footage and content from the 21 years they worked together. It&#8217;ll cover milestone moments in his life and career including his early days trying to get into the game, the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-shares-new-single-donda-in-honor-of-his-late-mother-new-song.1987892.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">death of his mother</a>, and his <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-declares-2024-to-be-his-election-year-public-reacts-to-votes-news.120710.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2020 presidential campaign.</a>
A source close to the situation revealed that Kanye West pretty much offered his blessing to Coodie and Chike&#8217;s multi-part project by simply allowing them to film him for the past two decades.
