Ben Zand hears from the people Kanye West grew up with, the artists and campaigners who work with him and those who more recently have been insulted by him, as he explores some of the defining themes of Millennial America -颅 race, politics and mental health.

Having sold over 20 million albums, Kanye is, by his own admission, one of the top five rappers of all time. The producer-turned-performer, who recently changed his name to 'Ye', has evolved into one of the most influential men in style history. However, Kanye's recent alignment with President Trump proved one step too far for some of his millions of fans, many who were already outraged by his declaration that 400 years of slavery "sounds like a choice".

But Kanye was born to parents who were active in the Black Panther movement and throughout his career he has peppered his music with the language of black power and civil rights. In this new documentary for 成人论坛 Three, Ben speaks to friends and acquaintances of Kanye, including his cousin The 'World Famous' Tony Williams, Chicago rapper and childhood friend GLC, and campaigner Candace Owens to try and unravel what is really going on in his head.
