Dear Jay-Z: I’m 14 & Won’t Be Caught Dead In Your $695 Ski-Mask

[Master Teacher]

u dumb nikkas are talking about the price, the price is not the point is the ski mask, jay is the real c00n

i still don't understand what the ski mask has to do with being a c00n

a cashmere ski mask, that shyt sound warm as fukk low key
good clothes cost money man, I got 1500 burberry duffle coat, they coat is going to last me forever
I can give that shyt to my son, quality clothes cost money. I brought the coat because I could afford it for one and it was a nice fukking coat
thats all, not for no status symbol or none of that dumb asss hit.

I see when the cracks like Jon Stewart did the semantics, now nikkaz trying to go at Jay like he was on some uncle ruckus shyt

Macy's profile nikkaz too I bet, you don't hear about because Jay-z ain't mad no moves with them
when a poor black kid gets profile at macy, ain't nobody telling puffy to pull that weak ass sean john shyt

Jay-Z get heat for everything, he gets sports agency, heat
he doing some high end fashion shyt, heat
they hating cuz this nikka turning everything he touch into gold

He's not targeting his product to the average person. Doesn't mean he sold out. He knows wealthy black people...he's married to one.

i guess what im trying to ask is whats the point of buying a ski mask PERIOD. Average person, poor or rich if your not a skier or live in an extremely cold place. that kid in that pic looks like a complete idiot rockin that shyt

Umm people that ski buy ski masks...hence the name.

Jay know Rich people that ski that would buy it because $695 to them aint shyt. Puffy and all them...$695 ain't shyt to them. Athletes and a lot of them are black. C'mon. He's not marketing it to 14 year old nikkas in the hood...that's why it's in Barney's. No one expects a 14 year old to shop in Barneys; middle class or project nikkas either. And I say nikkas because only a nikka would buy a $695 ski mask when they don't even fukking ski.

I agree with you. All I'm saying is, right or wrong, J's career ambitions took him here. I'm not going to knock him for that. At the same time, I'm not giving him props.

read my post again. "if your not a skier"

Jay chose wrong... They all have to do a lil selling out... that's understandable... He chose c00n and wasn't ashamed in doing so.


AND I'm not gonna front... I have all these brands, gucci, tru before it was really popular and seems like a bytchnikka brand, etc. I used to live at sacs and barneys all these places.. But naw, as you get older and more knowledgeable about things, you really have to let this shyt go unless ur striving to be an all star c00n like this camel faced fakkit jay. .

I wouldn't go as far as calling him a c00n. Kids from the real hood, not the rap hood, but the real hood are not going to Barney's. In addition, they wouldn't rock any of that shyt. That shyt was created for a particular audience.

I give him props because he's expanding his brand...creating another stream of income. I wouldn't knock anyone doing that. I realize his products aren't marketed towards me but doesn't mean I would knock him.

Oh sorry. Well if someone doesn't find a use for something, then they shouldn't buy it. But there are clearly enough people who find some use for them because you can still buy them.

I think he just attempting to break into that realm. I'm sure a lot of the clothing sold at Barney's is like to brehs in areas where fashion goes hard.

Some one from that audience who can identify with that audience.......... Who isn't dying and selling his legacy for acceptance into that audience should be pushing that shyt then.. Not this dude.

He doesn't need to be a Malcolm x or anything, but shyt, he needs to chill w this shyt.

All those videos and pics of him in cac faces begging for acceptance aren't good looks either.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

I mean if you don't like it great, why does everyone have to know?


Having said that, it's corny how Jay high priced this crap.

its a FUNDRAISER...AT BARNEYS.

If nikkas wanna shop at TJ Maxx, go ahead

Every urban city has somebody with a clothing brand. How many people buy them?

It's a fund raiser? How is he going to raise funds from nikkas who don't have money?

This is not for the average everyday person!!!

The clothes are ugly, I refuse to call the line anything but FUBU 2013.

But I do hope that stupid rich folk will buy the clothing, its for a good cause.
