Watch A Fan-Made Kanye West Documentary

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Kanye West, imma let you finish...but this fan-made documentary Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings is one of the best of all time! Superfan James Workmahas compiled a chronological journey through Ye's career; a 45-minute video featuring clips from behind the scenes, in the studio and on stage ranging from the time of College Dropout right up to his most recent album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Addressing his fellow Ye-fanatics on fan forum KanyeToThe.com, Workman wrote:

"I entitled it Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings (I know that's not the actual line in Eyes Closed), because I feel like that sums up Kanye's career - The outsider. The misunderstood genius.

Let me know when it's taken down (I'll try to re-up), and let me know what you think of it!

This took me 5000 hours to make so please be kind. And the sound/video is bad in some parts.

The sound is out of sync after a while (yeah it sucks, but nothing I can do about it) - But, apparently if you DOWNLOAD the original source file from Vimeo, the audio is synced..

I hope you enjoy it anyway.”

In other Kanye news, it seems that his forthcoming album will be released on June 18. A week or so ago the backpacker-turned-pop-star famously and mysteriously tweeted "June Eighteenth," opening the door for speculation as to the date's significance, but now HVM Japan has a Kanye West release scheduled to come out on June 19th, which seems to give the presumed album release date a verified check-mark. Stay tuned for a real confirmation on the album release date as word comes down and watch the full documentary below.
