It's hard to know what to expect when a documentary trailer opens with the line, "I'm off my meds for five months now," but it probably won't be pretty. Welcome to a day in the life of Ye, better known as Kanye West. In Whose Name?, premiering next month, filmmaker Nico Ballesteros promises to deliver the sort of unhinged takes and soundbites that we've become used to in the last 15 years from the rapper and music producer. Few have suffered such a downward spiral in pop culture as West, losing friends, access to a once-indulgent mainstream media, advertising deals, and a vast fortune thanks to anti-Semitic comments. It's been a brutal five years. Strangely, no one wants to dwell on that harrowing journey more than West. More on that in a second.
