TRUKFIT is an APPAREL LINE developed & marketed by BRAVADO THE 360' merchandising arm of UNIVERSAL

[KENNY DA COOKER]

i know this is your area.
how much of luda's advice is true or just a rapper talking shyt???

its part TRUTH and part SHYT TALKING...

I helped create two LLCs (limited liability Corporations)..one of which still is active with my cousin as CEO whom i had advised to have his own business. .cause of The bad deals which was nothing more than loans in the form of 360 deals being offered to him by Warner/Asylum

and Yes LUDA is absolutly right nothing is better than owning your own brand. .. trademark. ..being a CHECK WRITER is a wonderful thing. ....

my cousin Loves his SOVERIGNTY...

but it aint EASY

and like LUDA says its alot og SMOKE N MIRRORS

for The record NOBODY NOWADAYS ARE 100% independent

all that sell it out your trunk philosophy died longtime ago. ...once the internet turned mixtapes and CDs into files

and small business record stores got ate up by big media chains like BEST BUY and little Hood bootleg spots got raided by The RIAA.....

but The real Nail in The coffin was The MAJOR LABELS morphing into ONE BIG CONGLOMERATE like VEVO...basically DISTRIBUTORS have swallowed up The Market full of indies

you cant do nothing without a DISTRIBUTOR ...ask TECH NINE ...his Strange Music "indy" HAS to go thru the channels of Universal Records and its sublabel like Fontana to Even be able to Eat...

LUDA knows this thats why he States in that Song he Will NEVER go against his PRESIDENT aka SHAWN CARTER who at The time was running DEF JAM...

Cause DTP at that time was an IMPRINT basically a subordinate of DEF JAM...

so in reality WHO IS ACTUALLY INDEPENDENT ?!?!?

and as far as The SHOW MONEY ...thats an Urban legend

Even IF you think u getting over by not dealing with LIVE NATION and THIER MONOPOLY doing ARENA TOURS

you still gotta break bread with TICKETMASTER at most of These small venues and chitlin Circuit Clubs

and guess who owns TICKETMASTER



...BYATCH u guessed it. ..LIVE NATION

so not only we have Industry plant artist. we have industry plant labels

being INDEPENDENT is an OXYMORAN These days

Don't let it stop your passion

Just be as Passionate on the BUSINESS END.... a lot of this stuff you can DIY....

you just gotta learn to sacrifice lots of time and energy

 

[Piff Perkins]

I didn't know there were 360 deals in the fashion industry.

Nah it's a part of a 360 music deal more than likely. Wayne gets to look like a "boss" with his own clothing line, when in reality it's just a way for his label to recoup off him.

You can't be a boss when you're not even sober.

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Trukfit is hot garbage anyway.

THis.

I sure hope DGK isn't distributed by them though...

If Trukfit was in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (GOAT) I'd prob wouldn't even unlock it
I can honestly say I haven't seen anything appealing

90s early 2000s Skateboard fashion was and still is G.O.A.T

Even the decks

Wayne tried to hop on to the bandwagon way ....way to late

I'd say early 90s to early 00s skateboard fashion was the t*ts.

I remember when I got my first pairs of DCs and Es sneakers...heads was breakin they necks at those...

ofcourse...I actually skate

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

But shyt just gets on my nerves...we get hyped thinking a young black male like ourselves is a boss and an owner of something cool and hot...only to find out some out of touch ass white man (or woman in this case) owns that shyt...SMH.
The fukk she know about hip-hop or skateboarding?
Shyt...how many black people actually WORK for Trukfit?

The power is in distribution and the only way to get that kinda power is to build your own distribution with exclusive music, that's what this nikka is doing

 

[rapbeats]

I've seen grown ass men in their 30s wearing Trukfit.

probably thinking "let me support black business." not even knowing this is yet another part of a big label 360 deal where monies are going to the white man. wow

 

[Unknown Poster]

The general perception is that Lil Wayne owns Trukfit but come to find out some white woman owns it

Like Sean John
Like Rocawear (used to work for a guy who's family owned Rocawear)
Like BBC

Diddy, Jay, and Pharrell (add Kanye to that list too) are just faces for other's work.

See that's where you wrong Jay and Diddy actually owned their clothing line imprints

I heard it was some Russian dude that gave Dame the bread for Rocawear and also owned a majority of it
