So what could Kanye do to change that? If you're a rapper then your clothing line will only be as hot as you are. The hip hop crowd is as fickle as they come and sucking Ralph Lauren won't change that. The vast majority of people that wear Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton are white. They don't even market their shyt to nikkas. They don't get ad space in XXL asking nikkas to buy their shyt. They market their shyt to cacs and just because it cost a lot of money nikkas covet it.

Black people also don't realize there's a culture behind these clothing lines. :skip: at rocking Sperrys and never stepping foot on a boat. Not even in the summer time :deadmanny:..

This dude is a clown. He wants his own frustration to be everyone else's frustration. It's incredible how this whole thing is centered around him not being able to "break into" the fashion industry as if he's entitled to that sort of "acceptance" from a group of people far more talented than he is. It's like some 2.3 GPA High school student being upset that an Ivy League School won't accept him.

And on top of that, his anger comes from something so petty that is based on his own egotistical, narcissistic issues. While he's "frustrated" about the fashion industry, the average person remains frustrated and stressed about finding a job, paying bills, etc.

Then you have fans on this site who force themselves to defend him all in the name of "pro-blackness" and adopting the same false equivalences this clown makes regarding slavery.

I was literally :what: :dwillhuh: when he tried to equate an argument over not being able to make some shytty clothing line with cacs to people trying to gain freedom whilst being enslaved against their will

:pachaha: these interviews exposing dun as not knowing what the fukk he's even saying

All nikkas care about is that it's expensive. The quickest way to turn nikkas off of a fashion line is make it affordable. I remember when Stephon Marbury started his shoe line, dude made them shyts hella affordable and nikkas ignored it. Meanwhile they line up at 4AM to cop $200 Jordans that came out 20 years ago.

Black women also line up to buy $200 Jordans for their babies and teaching them that's how to spend their money while being poor. And Kanye wants to add to that buy providing nikkas with even more expensive bullshyt to buy.

not a good comparison. No one knew who Ralph Lauren was before the ties. Yeezy is probably one of the most POPULAR artist of out time. Why should he not get more support/cosigns.

Ralph Lifshytz also got backing from Neiman Marcus to start off his career. Kanye literally has few of us with even the ability to do that. I understand where he is coming from here. I wonder how many of you guys making fun of Ye' love Pac. Pac was way more belligerent and ridiculous than Ye. He was a hypocrite that spoke about enlightening brothas at the same time killing them. Spoke about enlightening women at the same time calling them prostitutes.

thats a trade and skill, fashion. would you let kanye operate on you because he's popular? nobody should get a cosign if they dont prove their worth...

his whole point is these brands/corporations use these powerful celebrities to push their products...but they don't want to look at them as equals, and give them royalties/ownership etc....kanye doesnt want to keep doing collaborations with these companies...he wants to be part of them

he doesnt have the money to just be the new Gucci, or Maison Martin Margiela

any of these rap nikkas can just get a few screen prints and start a clothing company...he wants to be a luxury fashion house

problem is the bolded part is just how it works

this is not some conspiracy that Kanye uncovered its just the way they do business and he wants to come in like Apple did with the iphone and basically say I want to do things my way and my way only and I want you to finance that and the labels are balking at it

he can start his own label and there would be plenty of people waiting to bankroll it and do it that way but as you wrote he wants to start out as a big deal from day 1
