It takes two work weeks to make a bag by a dope craftsman with exclusive materials and then you get nice service after you've bought it, 15k isn't that much considering that fact.

Probably less profitable than 200 dollar bags that are made by a machine in 10 seconds with cheap materials, mass produced making the average price like 30 bucks, if that.


While it's an expensive product, it might not be as dumb as other so called luxury products. Just like all super luxury products they are meant for people who won't feel the price. Rappers like Jim Jones getting iced out chains that lose like 90% of its value off the bat and expensive cars, which lose half of their value off the bat. Or never wearing the same Chinese sneaker twice, is not exactly finance wiz MO either.
It’s all stupid if you’re not in the top 1%. So it’s unnecessary to assess the degree of stupidity. If you’re making good money and you ain’t in a financial position to retire by 50, you’re doing something wrong. Imagine being a millionaire when you’re young and having to work until you die to make ends meet.

I’m so exhausted with us man. I just wish a few of these celebrities with big names and money would change the narrative on a grass roots level. But I guess it’s easier to buy a 40k bag and post it on social media.

I seriously can't believe this turned into a serious debate online :heh:

These regular hoes from this era are never going to be happy in life, cause they all now want the lifestyle celebrities have from a regular man.
They taking advice from women who themselves are out of touch with reality.

My ex try to pull up on me on some shyt about why is the internet so mad if a man can't spend that on his woman he doesn't really love her. I said to her let's see saweetie has a career and 5 years and still with quavious. fukk outta here :camby:

Wasn't this ni99a bragging about rocking Gucci after that debacle they had? And wtf does he mean by black or Spanish? Wtf don't ni99as understand? Hispanics ARE NOT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN THIS COUNTRY. Unless he's talking about black Hispanics.

Theyre not stupid. Theyre doing exactly what they are paid to do. Promote hyper consumerism within the culture/community. Rappers aint nothing but modern day jesters to me
