I'm not defending this nikka anymore![]()
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.
I know but your commentary is needed in this thread.
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.
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 people also don't realize there's a culture behind these clothing lines.at rocking Sperrys and never stepping foot on a boat. Not even in the summer time

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.kanye is gonna look back and say these cats were right...
i mean didnt ralph lauren start out making ties?
its bad to be hard headed. real bad

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...not a good comparison.

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
exactly. he has the means to make some ties, open his own store, and sell his ties...even expand. thats all cats are trying to sayRalph 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.
