Trivia:

Kanye West originally wanted Hype Williams to direct the video for "Jesus Walks" but changed his mind when he heard that Jay-Z was considering Williams to direct his video for "99 Problems". West has a friendly competition with Jay and didn't want to use the same director. But "99 Problems" ended up being directed by Mark Romanek.

Goofs:

Continuity: In "All Falls Down", West lies on the conveyor belt and goes through the metal detector feet first. But in his X-ray, he is shown going through head first.
