Kanye flips out on Sway (full interview)

[jwinfield]

GTFOH brehs. That is what Kanye wants. Nike is fukken corporation, Louis Vuitton is a fukken conglomerate of fashion houses. Why the fukk would the head of Nike or even Louis Vuitton want to talk to this nikka? So fukken what that his shoes sold out. A 1 million is sales is nothing to these people.

Yup.

What would Nike's ownership look like if they gave a piece of the company to every athlete and celebrity that had a successful endorsement?

 

[Diyhai]

Well like Sway said, why don't YOU change it.


Daymond John was FLAT BROKE when he built a 6billion dollars in sales brand Fubu from SCRATCH.


This bytch ass nikka is famous and is worth maybe $50 million.... DO IT YOURSELF....


If the nikka was as smart and as much of a genius he claims he is, he would..... nikka aint as smart as he think he is.

the 6 billion is over almost 20 yr bruh
LV does double that in a yr

I swear there are some simple nikkas that post on this forum. Let us say you design a product, spent 8-10 years developing it, putting 100% effort into it. You believe in your product and you believe it will sell, but you need that extra push, so you hire a celebrity to be the spokeperson. You give him a salary, maybe even 10% of total sales. Now he sells out all the items. So automatically you give this nikka control over your product? A say on how to market it, how to manufacture it,shares in your company?

GTFOH brehs. That is what Kanye wants. Nike is fukken corporation, Louis Vuitton is a fukken conglomerate of fashion houses. Why the fukk would the head of Nike or even Louis Vuitton want to talk to this nikka? So fukken what that his shoes sold out. A 1 million is sales is nothing to these people.

I do understand what he is saying though. He wants to create a legacy for his family. But Nike is not going to do that, and neither is Louis Vuitton. He wants to create something, that when his daughter grows up, she doesn't have to worry about finding a job. She can work in his company, the company that he build. But that takes decades, and lots of hard work. Steve Jobs was working all the fukken time, even when that nikka was sick.

That said, this nikka played himself, he showed how thirsty he is to the world. Never tell the enemy what your true desire is, because they will use that to take advantage of you.

This, dude showed all his cards...now they know how to attack him. If he started a basic urban line first, they could influence Macy's from carrying his stuff. just because they can. Nike will probably drop multiple colorways of the Air Yeezys, just to make him mad.

do you know how much money,time,and effort it takes to successfully to create a high end fashion brand that's quality? it can turn a millionaire broke to try to manage a high end fashion brand, you need help regardless of your situation.

that is the risk you take in business. A few work out and most crash and burn. Why is kanye entitled to success? GTFOH Kanye go take the risk like everyone else on this planet.

That's my problem with the current attacks on capitalism. No is bringing real reform. People are just complaining about success being harder than they were told.

 

[really]

It may be true but the problem is Kanye feels like it was his RIGHT to be in while it was absolutely not. He talks all that revolutionary "new slaves" bullshyt only to mask the true problem that he thinks too highly of himself ("I'm an artist", "I'm a genius", "I"m a god") and he thinks he should be entitled to have anything he wants. He wants it one way but it's the other way and he hates it because he feels like everybody should be down with his way because he's some superstar. Thinking like this, it's irrational for him to fail so he blames his failures on other people to save face.

Kanye should have built his brand slowly like EVERYBODY did instead of passing steps in order to reach the top quicker than the usual. Brands and corporations don't build themselves overnight, it takes time, decades sometimes. He should have made his own line with his own distribution instead of seeking partnership (what for ?) of already established brands and being a willing puppet. His name does hold weight and ring bells. He's married to a woman who's family worth hundred of millions and is influential in the media. He's himself an influential artist. So, why the hell didn't he team up with them and their financial firepower in order to start a company from scratch ?

To me he fukked up from the start seeking approval from the fashion world. The game might be rigged like you rightfully say but he willingly wanted to be part of it because he KNEW that the top dogs held the strings and that's why he wanted to team up with them. He couldn't bear the thought of not being with the best, playing in their courts, so he targeted a way too high spot and miserably failed. Furthermore, he doesn't even have some special designing talent like he thinks he has. He's not humble enough and he's now acting like a kid who didn't have the toy he wanted for Christmas so now he's mad. That was his fault and he can't admit that he failed.

My god...


It is some smart motherfukkers on the Coli afterall



They should let us tag posts with "smart nikka, dumb nikka" .... so I can just look up smart nikka posts and not have to sift through this filth in here... having me thinking humanity is damn near DONE for





If you have $30million dollars FREE cash (which I know Kanye has at MINIMUM) AND you have a huge celebrity name (Which, honestly, is worth $100+++ million free Cash... Daymond John had to ride LL cool J dikk and be his BUTLER to get Fubu off the ground... Kanye, if he was smart, would ride his own dikk and his wife's dikk)



If you have this kind of money, and stardom.... And you cannot build your own business from SCRATCH.... There is only one ANSWER (No pun intended): You are a talentless fukkin bum..... Aint no way around it....





I KNOW I'm a motherfukkin genius.... Will I ever build a billion dollar company? Don't know... shyt is hard... a Million for sure (and I'm good with that).... Thing is, I have NO BIG MONEY to invest...



If I had $50million dollars, I'd have a billion dollar empire built within 10 to 15 years..... HANDS DOWN..... No question.



This dude, like the guy I quoted said, thinks too highly of himself..... He'll NEVER make it in that field because he's not humble... He needs to humble himself instead of acting like he's gonna put a gun to somebody head to make them buy his shyt.


I don't even know shyt about fashion... If I was Kanye, what would I do?


1) Hire some of the most AMAZING designers in the world to create ideas and build off my ideas.
2) Get amazing, revolutionary mock up clothing designed
3) Hire fine ass models to model the shyt
4) Hold my OWN fashion shows in Manhattan, LA etc
5) Partner with manufacturers
6) Open my OWN STORE (Like barney's) in Manhattan, LA etc
7) Get a TOP NOTCH, interactive, revolutionary website built to sell your stuff on (damn I just thought of a CRAZY idea in 5 seconds, won't reveal it here)
8) Partner with a distribution chain
9) Promote, do interviews like this, get your wife wearing the shyt in magazines and talking about the shyt......



DONE.... DONE.... That is the fukkin answer.



Now, are you TAKING OVER the fukking world in one day? No...


You start in the biggest cities in America, sell online from a warehouse, and then work on expanding from there once your shyt catches on in the BIGGEST cities.


This monkey is just a pathetic business man and wants to blame the world cus he don't got Juice like that



It's actually not UNHEARD OF for Corporations to give entertainers a huge piece of the pie / ownership.... Diddy is basically 50 / 50 with Ciroc, he put so much power behind making them a powerhouse...


I guess the difference is, Diddy has that "it" factor, that marketing genius which this fukkin bozo lacks.... And if he was ANY TYPE of genius / business man, he'd do the shyt himself... PERIOD


That is all

 

[really]

the 6 billion is over almost 20 yr bruh
LV does double that in a yr

And Daymond started with $0 and ZERO Celebrity status...

Kanye has $50million and is a Celebrity POWERHOUSE....


If Kanye had Daymond's skills, he could get to LV level one day.... I guess he just DON'T

 

[really]

that is the risk you take in business. A few work out and most crash and burn. Why is kanye entitled to success? GTFOH Kanye go take the risk like everyone else on this planet.

That nikka you quoted is literally retarded


No, I mean LITERALLY..... He has no hope in life

 

[Rapmastermind]

Look Char came into the Breakfast club interview confrontational. He wanted to pick a fight. Ye is only saying they want to keep him at a level, no matter what success or money he has. Everyone else is saying, "Forget them, just do it on your own". KanYe is saying he's thinking bigger than just the typical urban fashion line that he feels the fashion industry puts rappers in a box.

My only thing I would say to Ye is does he believe these gatekeepers is just going to let him in? Of course they would keep him at a level cause they want all the money. Ye was right, there's only 7 Black Billionaires in the world. Yet Blacks have a purchase power of Multi-Billions. We spend the money but don't make the money. I'm all for Ye expanding his creativity. But he has to understand. All people see is is that he's worth 100 Million. But Kanye is thinking Billions. Call it materialistic, call it whatever. He is thinking bigger. His emotions are why he blew up at Sway even though Sway did have a point.

 

[Big Boss]

kanye wants instant success. these fashion houses were in built in the 1800's.

 

[Big Boss]

why can't kanye work with ozwald boating?

It's actually not UNHEARD OF for Corporations to give entertainers a huge piece of the pie / ownership.... Diddy is basically 50 / 50 with Ciroc, he put so much power behind making them a powerhouse...

But Ciroc was struggling, they had to take that risk.

From 2011.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/zackoma...why-diddy-will-be-hip-hops-first-billionaire/

In 2007 sleepy Ciroc was moving cases at a rate of 60,000 per six months, or 120,000 per year. In 2009 Diddy’s second year with the brand, Ciroc moved 400,000 cases. This year Ciroc is on pace to sell more than 1 million cases.

http://www.marketingweek.co.uk/opinion/go-diddy-the-daddy-of-cirocs-branding/4005506.article

Sales are now up 600 per cent since Diddy took charge and while other top vodka brands managed growth of 2-3 per cent last year, Ciroc grew by an astonishing 65 per cent. The brand sold more than 2 million cases last year in the US. That’s still only half that of Grey Goose but the trajectory of the two brands has now been reversed: Goose is flat, and Ciroc is catching up, fast.

From early this year.

I actually didn't know Diddy owned 50% . But they approached him because they were struggling and needed a boost and took a chance that not many would.

These fashion houses aren't struggling. They're not gonna give a piece of ownership to someone just because they demand it.

 

[jwinfield]

Ye is only saying they want to keep him at a level, no matter what success or money he has.

What success does he have in the fashion industry? The Air Yeezys?

Who is they? Why should they give him money so he can start up a label that's gonna compete with them? If they give him money, they will get some ownership of his label. If they connect him to their manufacturer, distributor, that's still their manufacturer and distributor. This whole "I want complete creative control and ownership, so I'm going to the big fashion houses so they can give me start up money" is ridiculous.

Everyone else is saying, "Forget them, just do it on your own". KanYe is saying he's thinking bigger than just the typical urban fashion line that he feels the fashion industry puts rappers in a box.

Then don't do a typical urban fashion line, people have mentioned other black designers that aren't considered urban designers.

Well, you answered your own point




IF THEY AREN'T STRUGGLING, WHY WOULD THEY GIVE THIS FOOL ASS nikka A PIECE OF THEY COMPANY IF HE HAS ZERO LEVERAGE....



This is business 101....



Ok, so basically, this thread is about a nikka crying and throwing a hissy fit because big corporations don't need HIM? Corporations that existed DECADES before he was even BORN... And he's crying because he can't get in their pockets?


You basically saying that's what this is all about, and if you are, you're agreeing with me.... You came at me on some shyt like I was saying something wrong.



You get in where you fit in... If you have no leverage in any situation, there's no need for you. Build your shyt up on your own over 3 decades, and then you can have alllll the leverage, and can give some random up coming rapper half YOUR corporation you built



Kanye is the ultimate fukkin clown
