If you look at the Kardashian family’s evolution over the past decade, it’s clear Kanye influenced every facet of the Kardashian brand. He transformed them from cheap, tabloid fodder into legitimate cultural icons. But what if I told you the most fashionable rap artist of all time only became that way because of someone you’ve never heard of. Behind every artist you love, even Kanye, lies someone who first introduced them to their calling.

For someone that didn’t keep up with the kardashians, this was very insightful
I see what you did there
ba dum tss...
Kanye'ing up the Kardashittans basically.
Kim ain't the OG K.
😂😂😂
Ahhhhhhh👏
That’s a lie about Kim’s old fashion sense. Her old fashion sense was actually very average and expected for a women of her time. But yeah Kanye did upgrade and made her a bigger icon.
Icon only for THOTIS
He helped her become a trend setter, so while she was fashionable for the time, she deffo wasn't ahead of the curve
@@salb5610 na, she was already setting trends. he just got her access to more luxury designers, better photographers & vogue.
@@nomanejane5766 she was the girl on the side of paris hilton then with kanye she became the center of the picture
Kim was definitely "very average" and on trend with the masses but was not considered someone who was "fashionable". To the general public she may have appeared to be well dressed but the fashion world at the time did not want to be associated with her or the Kardashian brand, they were considered trashy and tacky, designers wouldn't even lend her clothes, and it was a hard no! I worked in showrooms in NYC at the time and it was a known running joke about Kim being shunned from that world regardless of how famous she was. That's why her finally getting to the Met Gala and being on the cover of Vogue was such a huge deal at the time, that had the fashion world in an uproar, the girls were gagging, everyone wanted to cancel Anna and Vogue for giving in. Everyone knew it was all b/c of Kanye, his association upped her status tremendously.
Thank you for making sure Alexis got her credit, too often black women are left out of the picture when black men make it and its important we get our respect.
Totally!
This comment 👩🏾🍳👌🏾
Right!
I never thought it was her .I knew she was there when he started but had no idea it was her who started this journey for kanYE who needs to calm down and stop making a tool of himself over his soon to be EX WIFE who has MOVED ON . He is rich he can buy a Kim klone
He needs to be with a black beauty. Kim was a project. Mission accomplished. Now he needs real love out of the limelight. A wholesome soulful woman.
(Wish it was me 🤣)
I love that you gave Alexis Phifer her flowers and credited her influence in the culture through Kanye; connecting the domino effect all the way to the Kardashians. People, especially women, in this position are often forgotten and/or over shadowed by the new found power and fame gained through their support. Its nice to hear a little more about her and a story that acknowledges the people we don't hear as much about. Good stuff.
Kanye elevated the entire Kardashian brand. It's been known and people really need to give him his flowers
He def added value but they had value long before he walked in. These women had their own before he came so the title is just wild like… you made who? If you wanna say anyone made her it was her father who was a highly successful lawyer.
I think it was a give and take situation
@@theoneeazye No. he was the “cool” black guy that gave them agency in urban culture. Every single one of them. Esp Kim, Khloe and KYLE. Tyga then Kanye gave her the green light and confidence to step over that line. Otherwise, we’d just blame their obsession of Black Women aesthetic for their “coolness”
@@KDBetter oh stfu im tired of people saying that only black people have big ass or lips and nah they dont. He ruined them they looked better before they got with kanye. how ironic
Thank you I have said the same thing
You should do one on Rihanna on her way to a billion and her fashion influence
She literally destroyed Victoria secret
@MeDiAAiDeM Who cares
@MeDiAAiDeM You're the biggest loser on the planet. Start beef with somebody at least cause pimping yourself in the comments is pathetic...
Victoria secret destroyed themselves, by not being inclusive...
@MeDiAAiDeM
Keep doing what you love!!!
No she didn’t. It was the dude that was in jail that supposedly hung his self
He need to get Alexis back! Lol. She’s absolutely and NATURALLY beautiful and has natural style. She was the only one he was with that had the same passions and loves. She’s down to earth and prefers privacy.
Hell NOOOO. He should not take his filth back to Alexis.
Nah she deserves peace and happiness. Dragging her into his present world would not be good for her.
She is gorgeous
I was thinking how Kanye needed a beautiful creative black woman who knows his struggles and can relate to him mentally and emotionally. I find it so ironic that as deep as Kanye is he went out and chose the most shallow and bimboest white girl of our generation to wife up. Black men do this far too often its so sad to watch...
I cried when I heard “the wealthiest black American ever” his mom would be so proud. I’m so happy for Kanye I have been a huge fan since College Dropout. Watching him evolve really motivated me to pursue my dreams. Nothing is too big.
I feel like people forget how important Kanye was in building the Kardashian empire. Without ye, the Kardashians/Jenners would be nowhere near as big as they are today.
Kim never paid nothing, adidas did.
Exactly he allowed them to enter into the fashion world and beauty world. He opened major doors for them. I don't even think Kylie becomes a billionaire without Kanyes help.
Agree 💯
Lies
@JohnWayne i think this documentary gives too much credit to Kanye and not enough to Kris and Kim. Kris got them into various businesses b4 Kanye. They had makeup line, clothing stores etc. Then Kim played a big role in promoting Yeezy brand. If not for Kim, Kendall wouldn't become a model. Kylie wouldn't become a business woman if it wasn't for Kris. So i don't think it's right putting Kardashian-Jenner success on Kanye. Paris taught Kim a lot as well. She was the original influencer. Kris put washed out Bruce Jenner on the map again by getting him into public speeches for $ and getting the whole family on the show through her friendship with Ryan Seacrest
Damn you really stated your thesis, and then provided sooo much evidence to back it up. I always contributed their rise to fame as mutual, but you've convinced me that Ye really helped her boss up!
👏🏽
This was such an interesting documentary...well done, very well done!
Don't forget Kanye gave Kylie the opportunity to model for his line which opened her up to so many other opportunities. Also, Kendall met Valentino at his chateaux in Paris where they'd gone for lunch, during the Kimye wedding week.
I clicked on this by mistake and couldn’t leave! This was so well done. Such good quality. I learned a lot. Thanks for this!
I never knew about Alexis. She is beautiful and talented.
Kanye levels people up. in music his production help level up countless artists. As for Kim Kardashian, I never seen her reality show but in the early footage she dresses like a tacky Armenian. Thus, Kanye West is a freaking miracle worker.
“Some times silence is the best response”😂
Real Talk
He actually made her throw out/donate all of her clothes and got her a brand new updated wardrobe when they first got together. He’s been quoted saying “I have to dress Kim so she doesn’t embarrass me”. He then continued to style her thereafter.
@@yndzzz What a good man. Such great humans
without him Drake wouldnt be making hits yet he stll has the audactiy to pick on him
Your documentaries are so well made it is incredible you are not more well-known
This was so nicely done. You gave Alexis the credit she deserves.
Kayne got Kim to the next level of fashion and now she doesn’t need him anymore.
Kim accidentally stole Kanye's shine when he elevated her look. That's when everything begin to unravel for him. Alexis is very beautiful and I have never heard him mention her name.😍
No things unraveled for him when he lost his mom
"Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexis". In his music.
I swear theres an entire song about her on the dropout trilogy
Nvm homecoming is about a girl named wendy
@@soham.banerjee homecoming is acc not about a girl but about the city of Chicago personified as a woman, hence the name "windy" as in windy city
“Sometimes silence is the best response” - Kanye West
He needs to keep revisiting that statement
@@sawlty-suite5131 yes he does
Ironic given current status
This video deserves so much more credit, this may be my favorite video of yours right next to the tinder video. You definitely are going to blow up this next year, there hasn't been a single one of your videos that I haven't loved. Keep on doing what you do, my friends and I all love your videos and watch them frequently together, thanks for bringing us endless entertainment and providing new conversations to have.
😂
The level of research here is impressive. Please continue to make more videos. You are soooo talented! 😇
27:20 “ When Alexis gets an order she cuts & sews the garments herself “
I’m *SEWING* while listening suddenly *I* *FEEL* *SO* *SEEN* for the first time. 🙏🏾😳
Gay
How is this about you now?🤷♂️
@@sawlty-suite513127:20 “ When -ALEXIS- *RayoomTa* *KWT* gets an order she cuts & sews the garments herself “
This is how.
Kanye made Kim and the rest of the Kardashian family to be honest. No one was checking for them like that. They just had an entertaining show on E. They were on the same level as the Jersey Shore cast. They were selling clothes at Sears and still doing club appearances. Anna Wintour didn't want them on the cover of Vogue or at the MET Gala, but getting with Kanye changed all that. Kim knew actually what she was doing when she got with Kanye. He told the world that he had a crush on her and she saw an opportunity after her failed wedding, plus she saw the cancellation of her show heading her way so she got with Kanye and everything thing changed. Kim didn't waste anytime either by getting pregnant after telling her then husband Kris she wasn't ready for a baby because of her career. I'm not mad at her, because Kanye is an opportunist and a user as well.
oh wow. you watched the video too
@@idkhowtospell You know ??! Wth
Yes, they are both money hungry wolves.
Showbiss people's...
This video was brilliant, I enjoyed every seconds of it ! Glad you pulled through the hurdles making it, was worth it !
your videos are insanelyyyyyyy produced. so well researched, an objective and informed opinion, entertaining and just the editing and music choice is *chef's kiss*. and the fact that you literally put all your references? I could get a degree on culture from University of Soulr. this is only the second video i've seen of yours and i was thinking the whole time " I wonder who the genius is behind these vids" and then i see the ending. So nice to put a face behind this insane work. I've never considered using patreon, but you're the first youtuber (and i watch a lot of educational, really great youtubers) i'd pay to watch videos from. Keep going Jake, you're telling history for generations to come.
Also I wish some people would give YE his flowers, he changed my life and saved my life.
He definitely helped a ton of kids not become gangsters. For a young black man- not many choices for a teenager, either become an athlete, excel in school or join a gang. Truly I believe my sons would have went down the wrong path if it wasn't for ye.
This is one of the most well put together videos on youtube I've watched in a long time that isn't self help or finance related.
I know some people will be offended by this, but I'm happy to see that Alexis, A black woman was instrumental to the Kardashian success. Even indirectly these kardashians have black people to thank for who they've become.
I love that Alexis chose to live a quiet life rather than chasing money and fame. To be honest, money can't buy happiness if not Kanye won't have multiple mental breakdowns due to excessive public scrutiny. He even paid someone $6k just to listen to him talk 😪.
it is finance related in a way, if you think about it, this video just shows that success is a combination of skill and connections. Kanye's connections to the fashion world through Alexis went on to make him billions and build several businesses. You have to build a network and find the right people. be unafraid to evolve into a new version of yourself or the next phase for your business.
there we go with the gender divide. She helped Kanye yes, but Kanye put in the work to take it to a new level. Now go make me some pecan pie. Don't put too much sugar in it neither.
@@Regalman are you kidding me? Did u learn nothing from the video? With that same line of logic you could say the exact same thing about Kim.
I’ll listen to somebody talk for $6k
Racist
Big respect to Kanye West, this guy is a legend!!!
This is extremely insightful. I always thought of Kanye as a narcissist who was musically gifted and somewhat business savvy. But damn, his influence really created empires
Wow that was insane, I had no idea about Kim and Kanye’s beginnings, as well as Kanye’s history. I never really thought much of him at all. I feel like I just learned so much about him. I have so much more respect and understanding… it’s crazy how people come together
Not his biggest fan but the influence shows and no-one can deny it 💯.
Not a fan??? Because of his public outbursts?
@@mwoods4608 yup..
@@mwoods4608 Yeah what’s it to you?…
You’re going to have 1 mil Subs in 2022
I’m gonna binge through ur library. Keep this up. Very interesting topic choices, Well researched, good pacing, and delivery.
You’ve Got me 100% tuned in.
What a talent you are!!! You definitely have a future in main stream videography! I see you winning as Oscar someday! Amazing work... from content,to script writing, to editing, to music choice and your voiceover work! Bravo!! I have subscribed to your channel and will recommend this video on Kanye and the Kardashian/Jenner family. It is the best I have ever seen!!
Keep going please. These documentaries are pure gold
I‘m a Kanye fan since 2003, so NOTHING was new to me. However, you did a TERRIFIC job putting this together for people who didn’t know all of this. 👏
That’s the year I was born but I’m a huge Kanye fan and didn’t even know this.
Fr, his mixtape I'm Good and college dropout
Dude, Jake. These documentaries are always top quality, and you do some amazing work.
Thanks for making Alexis known for her influence on Kanye and her fashion contributions. Hope he someday acknowledges her genius.
i didn’t expect to love this so much
Wow. The butterfly effect on this one. This is crazy. Tysm for this video. Such a cool way to tie it all together. We may have a completely different ideal of beauty and fashion right now in 2021 if Kanye never met Alexis.
To be fair Brandy made Kim.... Kim was a stylist for Brandy and introduced to Ray J thus creating a Kim Kardashian.
This was an amazing video I was locked in every minute until the end. I appreciate the time and the effort you put into this💯
This was so well made… I like how you made the point a full circle moment
This is a very informative and well made documentary. I did not know that Kanye was that involved in the fashion industry and that he played such a big part in creating The Kardashian brand we see today. I gained a whole sense of respect for their work ethic and business skills.
This was sooooo much more refreshing than I anticipated. Thank you for making this !!!!
LOVED THIS VIDEO BRO. THE EFFORT CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN, THANK YOU MAN
Can’t even imagine how long these videos take to make, but the quality on them is always SO GOOD!
Love watching these and the new IG page too. Looking forward to the next vid!📈
You better know this is a Jake Zeeman Netflix Original
This was a great video, I learned so much!
Thanks you for the extra effort you put in this video, your channel is great!
You did very well. I’ve known about Alexis from the beginning and the end about her made me emotional! Yes Kim does not shy away from crediting him. He may have to look to his past to see his future.
FIRE dude this may be your best work yet! Brilliant, thought provoking, and executed perfectly. Congrats!
Alexis is beautiful.
Shes a true muse. A true artist. Unsung yet unseeking, content simply to create, _to be._
I want her to make my wedding dress.
Lace is a profoundly difficult material to work and shes an absolute master at it's manipulation, as her creations show.
Wish her all the success in the world. And kudos to the you for this video! Beautifully done!
you're eventually going to blow up if you keep up this quality man, great job. I've watched nearly everything on the channel. Looking forward to more.
I stumbled across your channel today and wanted to say you are so talented.
Also, I am so happy to see someone acknowledge Alexis. I did a deep dive on Kanye once and it was clear that Alexis really influenced him, which in turn influenced the Kardashians, and fashion as a whole. Glad to see her getting her props, she is super talented.
Never got interested with Kim and her family antics, and I didn't even pay attention to Alexis before. This video is so eye opening. Thank you!
Bravo, this video documentary is so well put together. Never did I ever think that I would spend 30 minutes watching something on the Kardashians.
Good video bro. Great sound selection especially with the Harrison BDP track.
I LOVED this content showing Kanye’s evolution and just how much he influenced the Kardashian’s- elevating their image and brand! I really appreciated seeing the influence of Alexis on Kanye. Wow, if either of them would be interested, maybe they can get back together. They both are immersed in fashion and design though they have VERY different approaches. She is quiet; he is loud. It’s the contrast that might make things work for them. Kim has moved on and knows that Kanye truly loves her. The entire KarJenner clan should be majorly appreciative of what he did for their brand. As for Alexis, she seems like an amazing woman/artisan. I appreciate Kim’s support of Kanye and that she always tries hard not to “bash” him. We all have to remain compassionate bc of the mental illness that will always be with him. I wish them both peace, joy and genuine friendship.
Amazing video!
I thought the same!
Loved this one Jake, took a direction I wasn't expecting but so well executed! Great work.
Amazing documentary, kept me glued to screen👀 appreciate your incredible work 🙌🏻
Man, I really love your channel. I've been watching your biographies the past few nights and I love everything especially the music
It seems like UA-camrs have been making amazing content lately and I love it
This is probably the best thing I’ve seen on UA-cam in a while
You are a literal genius
And you just got yourself a new patreon member❤️
This vid along with most of the content I've seen from you is top notch. Thank you for being meticulous and thorough with your work!
Your channel is incredibly underrated it‘s amazing how much insight you give in these astonishingly well curated documentaries.
Kanye is a true visionary. I didn't realize how much he really changed Kim's life beyond just fashion until a few recent videos I've watched. I never watched the Kardashians and don't follow tabloid headlines on reality TV or anything I'm not really interested in. I think Kim and Kanye really had a largely positive impact on each other. When they got together I figured they would be divorced in the same year and didn't think they would last. They proved me wrong with staying together for as long as they have through ups and downs and have a family and both being tremendously successful. At the end of the day Kanye and Kim aren't all that different from any of us. They may be rich and famous and have lots of luxuries that many of us can't afford but at the end of the day we are all people. I look to people like Kanye for inspiration to follow my heart even when people around me don't see the vision I do. Nice video, thanks for putting in the research, editing, and work to make it.
I agree. Blame the Kardashian all you will for being frauds, but it does seem like they literally prayed Kanye. I think the biggest gap probably was that Kris was not able to fill Donda's shoes. Kris probably does not know how to be a mother to boys, that's why every man in that family is broken.
You made this paragraph of a comment and didn't mention the woman the video is about
Write a boo why dont you 😂😂😂 its a comment section not English 115
Really proud of you and this video Jake, great work.
Great video. Much respect to your research and editing. Love it all the way.
This was AMAZING Jake! First time I’ve seen any of your work. Great great video👍🏽
This is amazing ....to be able to chronological look back on this story thru UA-cam interviews in one video thank u lol
this was absolutely amazing to watch! the attention to detail is unmatched.
Stumbled upon the Supreme video you did. Didn't intend to watch the whole video, I only watch long UA-cam vids about cars, but it was so well done.
Fast forward to watching this video and I couldn't help but subscribe. You have a rare talent sir, keep up the good work, this is a fantastic compilation.
This video is a straight banger. No bullshit, no opinions, just good journalism. Thank you very much soulr
you snapped bro! this is probably the best documentary type video I’ve seen on youtube.
what an actual perfect video. the clips, edits, and themes are perfect. thank you for this one.
Wow this was very well put together! I was aware of everything expect for the part where Alexis introduced Ye to fashion.
This is my first time watching you and I am absolutely blown away at the quality and research put into this video. I never knew exactly what happened but I was keenly aware that the Kardashians sense of style became elevated as compared to how they all dressed in their early seasons. Thank you for confirming what I suspected!! Kanye is the GOAT in a lot of ways.
This Netflix quality documentary is simply amazing sir, thanks for your hard work and look forward to the next one.
This is a GREAT video. Your content keeps elevating. Love the music choices, and stock footage/image selection and the deep insights you give. Thanks for your hard work!
Wow… you hit my SOUL, great vid!
The production quality of your work is phenomenal
I find it really interesting that he also saw kim as an opportunity to reach the fashion industry cuz they didn’t let him before cuz of his career as a musician , there is saying in my country “logic marriage “ it looks like even tho they loved eachother emotionally , they also saw the opportunity they had together
A very interesting take on Kanye and beautifully put together as always. Kanye a true artist🐐
You did such a great job with this video it was really amazingly worded
second video i’ve seen from you that has been superrr killer. great video 🙌🏻
I always thought that some of his fashion inclination could have been inspired and encouraged by Alexis , but I never really gave much thought to the idea. But this video really solidified my earlier musings . Keep up the good work 😊
This is my first time on this channel and I want to congratulate you on this material BUT the biggest surprise for me was that you featured Harrison BDP, that song is incredible and it deserves more airplay, thank you for featuring it !
Thought the exact same thing thought it would forever only be on slav's channel
Everything you post is so interesting and informative
Great Job !!
Wow, this was amazing. You really have an eye for value.
Incredibly well made content, as always. Thank you for all of this.
This was an amazing dude. So well put together start to finish!
Is. This is an amazing dude. He's still alive
I freaking love you man, thanks for your hard work. Props
I can't believe you only have 270k subscribers! You are gold!
Well done, another great video! Keep it up! I love it, your voice and style is relaxing but pulling in at the same time!
Much love brother! Terrific video! Your work is getting better and better! (:
Beautiful beautiful video... so many emotions. I love kanye even more. Thank you for you work, visuals, musics, editing, everything was perfect
Well done. With everything going on in the world, this was refreshing to see. Thank you!
These are so well edited. Damn, does not miss - another phenomenal vid!🔥
I can't lie at first I sighed as this video was so long. However your video was greatly executed from the in-depth detail to how you structured the video I watched it all. I definitely am subscribing!
You said 30 minutes is long I feel bad for your girl
You're going to need a longer attention span :)
Kim didn't make kimoji or the fashion game..she stole the idea from someone else.
This was sooooo damn good. Well researched. Insightful. Great editing. Chill vibes. Props
