Wayno Says Kanye West’s “Jeen-Yuhs” Documentary Was Inaccurate

by

Former Roc-A-Fella Records A&R Wayno says that Kanye West’s jeen-yuhs documentary was littered with inaccuracies. Wayno explained his issues with the documentary during a recent interview on Homegrown Radio. Wayno discussed a scene during which Ye plays “All Falls Down” to several disinterested individuals at the Roc-A-Fella offices.

“It was not like that bro, because first of all, when I came around — I’m talking about being really, really, inside of Roc-A-Falla [2002] — Kanye was already producing. When I had met him, he had just got a tattoo of all the songs he produced on his arm,” he began

Wayno further recalled: “I walked up to him like ‘Yo you Kanye?’ and he like ‘Yeah, I rap too,’ — he rapped for me. And, he just rapped for like eight minutes. He would do the same routine for everyone he met. The video that they show of him coming to the office and doing that. That wasn’t the first time he did that. In 2002, walking into somewhere with a camera is like a big thing.”

“Now, Chaka Pilgrim was the head of marketing at Roc-A-Fella — to this day she still work with Jay, Beyoncé, all of them. He bust in her office with all the cameras out. He ain’t tell nobody he about to do this or nothing. Bro, mind you it’s not the first time we heard ‘All Falls Down.’ We been heard ‘All Falls Down.’ He walks out like ‘yeah they ain’t feeling me,’” he added. “That’s not real.”

Netflix released jeen-yuhs back in early January 2022, on Netflix. It chronicles the early career and rise of Kanye West throughout the 2000s. After its release, Wayno initially criticized it in a post on social media. “How many times can you have a crazy reaction to something you’ve heard 10x it was kind of annoying at that point,” he wrote at the time.

Wayno Explains Why Roc-A-Fella Was Uninterested In “All Falls Down”

Kanye All Falls Down

The Cootie & Chike directed Kanye West documentary jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy dropped this past week and has taken the internet by storm. Act 1 of the doc focuses on Ye during his pre-College Dropout days and has become a source of inspiration for many.

Clips of the doc have made rounds on social media, particularly one where Kanye plays “All Falls Down” in front of a disinterested Chaka Pilgrim, who was the head of marketing at Roc-A-Fella at the time.

Unlike most times, the internet actually defended Kanye, reaffirming the point that many did not believe in Ye and used this moment as a message for people to continue to follow their dreams even when others don’t believe in them.

However, Wayno, who is now the VP of A&R at Quality Control, used to work at Roc-A-Fella in the early 2000’s and was able to provide context as to why executives at Roc-A-Fella seemed uninterested in “All Falls Down.”

Wayno took to Twitter to say that Ye would perform the song in front of executives with a camera crew about 10 times, then asking how someone could be excited to hear something that they already heard 10 times before.

“Lmao the context behind this is he played this song in the office and did this with a camera crew like 10x , how many times can you have a crazy reaction to something you’ve heard 10x it was kind of annoying at that point.”

In another tweet, Wayno continued, saying “Y’all also gotta realize this is at a time when phones ain’t even have cameras on em , he came with a camera crew all the time recording everything. People weren’t used to that , Chaka hair ain’t even done you think she was happy to be on camera?”
