Kanye said it was class racism, not racial which is why it's unimportant. They are not giving many people any free spots. Kanye is good at what he does but maybe he's not always what they want. Maybe he isn't very dynamic and on.
I'd rather see nikkas running banks, construction, technology than fukking billboards and what people wear. He can complain but no one gives a fukk cause it's 1. Not racial nor sexual discrimination 2. It's among the least important businesses of all businesses.
The bolded part is just weak to me. nikkas should run whatever the fukk we want if we have the competence.

The least important of businesses? It's worth 30bn.

Classism is unimportant? What?

Eve made Adam eat an apple then it became illegal to be naked .. & that explains everything
So you have to wear clothes. You have to make a choice. That's why Kanye thinks fashion is important. We all gotta partake. You can go your whole lifetime without listening to music at all. Now do you get what he's saying?

maybe because that's because the gems themselves are cloudy. :yeshrug:
IMO about 80% of what he's saying is very valid. But he doesn't always explain it very clearly.

A lot of people don't actually want to understand though which makes it harder.

I'm pretty sure the fashion industry is worth more than 30bn, but I can't think of a business which is less important than cosmetic/fashion. These are luxury industries, shyt you buy AFTER you've bought shyt you need.

Of course nikkas should run whatever they want, but this is not about nikkas. Which is why I don't see the critical importance. And Kanye's definition of classism is completely wrong and non-applicable to the fashion industry. Since fashion is not some conservative industry who separates people after social classes. They just discriminate against whoever they don't think fits their profile. He wants them to give him shyt, he thinks he's earned shyt and on. I don't know why I as a musical fan of Kanye should support him when I've not heard the other sides story. I'm not a stan, I fukks with Kanye but his whole approach is weak and inconsistent.

He says shyt like they only want to fukk with soft black people, as if they were fukking with violent, interview screaming, president beefing, reality show starring higher class white people.
Who else got sneaker lines with some of the oldest fashion lines? Who else had the most prominent people in fashion come to your 6k for a pair of shoes collection? Who else does collabos with APC and on and on. But as soon as he sees some resistance he starts screaming like a baby. That's not the Kanye I know who just smartened up and worked harder.
I think the problem is as Charlamagne is saying, he has too many yes-men and he's not been knocked the fukk out in a while.

Breh, you've made some points but this here quoted: all wrong.

He doesn't just want to ride the Benz, or even desigm a Benz. He wants to truly OWN that coupe. Crack dealers buy Yeezy's but Kanye doesn't get any royalties from that. The big moolah is ALL Nike's.

Riding in a coupe you're making everyone else rich. He wants to actually be the one putting out the coupe and banking hard. He's tryna get paid properly. Not just using the money, creativity that he has to only perpetuate the wealth of others by just wearing their clothes or having collab's. He's trying to be the dude putting out Benz's or sneakers. Not just a dude getting paid upfrony yo design 1 trainer every couple years.

Peep this: New Slaves is the evolution All Falls Down. On All Falls Down 'Ye is just talking about loving/hating the consumerism. Loving the products but hating how it actually does nothing for his self-worth. So he buys a Benz, that doesn't mean he's rich he's making others rich. Now he doesn't just want to stunt, he actually wants to own and distribute the types of brands he loves so much. But nah just "come in, please come more". But buy owning a Ralph Lauren, 'Ye will actually break the cycle.

:salute:
