AceShowbiz - The first look at Kanye West's documentary "jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy" is here for viewing pleasure. Unveiled on Monday, January 10, the first teaser for the upcoming Netflix documentary shows a glimpse of Ye's journey to his current success.

The clip opens with Kanye in New York in 2002. "I got Coodie on the camera," the rapper says, adding, "Rhymefest right there." He goes on to say that he and his fellow rapper get into an argument over Fest's comment on him.

"Me and Fest got into an argument in the car. I feel like he disrespected me. Tried to say I wasn't a genius," Kanye explains, to which Fest responds, "But who are you to call yourself a genius?"

Also featured in the teaser is footage of Kanye working on music and performing alongside other musicians, including Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams. "Very rarely do you encounter self-contained people," Pharrell raves. "This man can do everything himself. He livin' it."
