5:48 How the production of 808s and Heartbreak helped Kanye analyse himself better- the start of his introversion?
8:55 Family/work balance
10:33 Freestyle as building blocks for final cuts
11:20 From lowly producer to superstar rapper, Jay-Z, Rocafella and more

Kanye's charmingly naive perspective on politics in relation to the world of pop-music rears its head at the end of the video, marking a stark contrast to his 2018 monologic rants, odes to Trump and chaotic tweets. Where did it all begin?
