The new Kanye West Netflix documentary "Jeen-Yuhs" may have hinted to his desire to be signed to his "brother" Jay-record Z's company, which may have been mentioned in the documentary.

It is hoped that the feature film will transport the rapper's fans on a hungry quest to prove that he has what it takes to succeed in the hip-hop industry.

Coodie Simmons and Chike Oh, two of Kanye's long-time allies, were in charge of filming the Netflix documentary.

In the handheld footage, which was reportedly shot over the course of the last 21 years and narrated the entire docu-film, Coodie shines.

As seen in the documentary, Kanye is a busy producer who wants to rap about something that had never been heard before.

While working on Jay-"Roc-A-Fella," Z's he produces the already award-winning track "Izzo (H.O.V.A)" for the label, he is unable to secure a record deal with the company.

Even though he did not receive an invitation, the former husband of Kim Kardashian can be seen making his way to Jay-office Z's in New York at some point in the video.

Kanye West - Desperate

At one point in Act I of the three-part documentary, Kanye West can be seen refusing to settle into a career as a producer because he wants to rap about anything as well.

When challenged, he said that his concept was out of the ordinary for artists in the early 2000s, and that he was justified in doing so.

However, in order to demonstrate his worth, the "All of the Lights" rapper decided to barge into Jay-New Z's York office.

It was revealed in the narration that they were in the city as a result of Kanye's rumored willingness to go to any length to make his dreams come true - one of which is being signed to the "Empire State of Mind" rapper's record label, Roc-A-Fella.

Kanye and his entourage began barging into rooms without being invited while carrying CDs of new music in their possession.

He can even be seen rapping along to his own tracks as they play through the speakers.

Kaye's music receives positive feedback from Roc-A-Fella's marketing executives and executive assistants, but they are unable to assist him in landing a recording contract with the label.

However, Jay-close Z's colleague Damon Dash admired the beats to the songs Kanye made for the artist's label - despite this, he refused to sign Kanye to a recording contract.

Eventually, Kanye leaves the office with his CDs and DVDs in hand and subsequently begins hustling on the streets, attempting to create relationships with people.

Despite the fact that Kanye invaded another party in Roc-A-Fella, he managed to meet Jay Z, but their conversation was brief. Their initial embrace consisted of a handshake and a side hug, but Jay Z eventually diverts his attention to another attendee.
