During a recent interview with AllHipHop, Consequence explained why felt the hit Neflix documentary series, jeen-yuhs, about Kanye West didn't totally capture Ye's "turning points."
“There’s always gonna be a narrative arc, where there’s a start, a beginning, a climax to build a story because television works on that, from that aspect,” he said. “But I think there were certain turning points that I would have loved to see just a tad bit of. Obviously, when you see episode 1, you see also when Kanye’s playing ‘All Falls Down’ for Chaka Pilgrim and it seems as though there’s no real feedback. You can’t go from that to all the sudden, ‘Tada, I’m on MTV now.’ That’s a process, and a big part of that was the mixtapes that we began to do.”
Cons also didn't forget to mention how he "initiated" Ye by circulating his tapes. “It was a currency within itself,” Consequence said, comparing early tapes to Bitcoin. “The value that it gave you if you was hungry would exponentially increase any record deal you were gonna get anyway. When he’s playing ‘All Falls Down,’ he’s already at the label as a platinum producer, he did ‘H to the Izzo.’ What you gotta understand, especially in New York, it’s the top and the bottom. So yeah, you could have the swag straight, but if your bars ain’t straight, n---as ain’t respecting you.”
