Kanye West claims his success was ‘God’s plan’ in ‘Jeen-yuhs’ trailer

nypost.com:

his upcoming  documentary “Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy” — which will premiere the first of its three parts Feb. 16 on Netflix — the hip-hop superstar reveals that he does indeed believe that he is a chosen one.“I just think it was in God’s plan,” West, 44, says of his groundbreaking success as a rapper, producer and mogul. “I just think He has me here for a reason, and I have something to say.“There’s people that might be better programmers, better rappers.

The way I think I really won is I had the heart. If I do what I’m supposed to do, people are gonna look back like, ‘Man! Remember dude used to just make beats for people?’ ”The nearly 3-minute trailer features Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams, and of course, West’s beloved late mother, Donda — after whom her son named his most recent album.“I would like to congratulate you on the good job that you did with me,” West says in a mother-son moment featured in the trailer.Indeed, the first episode of “Jeen-yuhs” — which premiered virtually at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan.

23 — shows just much Donda West was an inspiration and guiding light for her son. “It’s very important to remember that the giant looks in the mirror and sees nothing,” Donda advises her son.She also counsels her supremely confident (and rightly so) son to “stay on the ground and you can be in the air all at the same time.”But even before the release of his groundbreaking debut, 2004’s “The College Dropout,” Donda had instilled that unwavering confidence in her son: “Anybody love something that much and that long and is that good, it’s gotta pay off,” she says at one point.But in perhaps the sweetest moment of the first episode, Donda checks out her son’s new bling: a gold necklace of an angel that has left.
