What do you mean don't want to let him?

Dude is allowed to design his own lines at one of the biggest clothing companies in the world with no financial liability at all. Design a line of shoes for one of the most prestigious brands of all times with 160 years of history (LV). He presents his shyt at the most prestigious fashion shows and they are attended by all the ballers in the fashion industry. What do you mean let? Do you mean that LVMH should just give him Dior for free and rename it Kanye West? Puffy even with his ugly ass clothes won the CFDA. The other winners are people like Kors, Varvatos, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Helmut Lang, Thom Browne and on these dudes are the top of the top. Do you mean that type of letting?


I don't understand what you mean, who is given shyt? Kanye just started designing males clothes, his first attempt? Bankrolled by Adidas. Usually people work for years, go to university, suck dikks and on and then they won't get their own brand, they get to work their way up the ladder until they run a brand. After that they might start their own thing, either it pops or not, usually not.


who cares about working your way up a ladder if you are influential and already rich.... it semi proves that you are already a commodity ... none of that school and work your way up shyt matters to whats great ... because most of the greatest people in history were/already knew they were great.... they didnt suck dikk and wait for something to happen, they went out and did it. And you are still talking on a very small level.... Pdiddy and Kanye being allowed to do shows is redudant because sean jean line is basically a pricey fubu ... im talking about a real company bro ... why cant a black designer be european influence? Its funny how white designers make massive capital off of the urban market and we arent talking about that ... so why cant a dude with hundreds of millions backing him rub elbows with the top 5 companies of the world?


Put Kanye aside all of you ... and ask yourself why their isnt a fly ass black designer walking around Monaco right now? Literally what are the odds that it hasnt happened? and people (black people) are really answering me like I'm the one thats crazy? :russ: There should be a nikka that looks like wesley snipes right now wearing a prince outfit thats been deep in the game for 40 years and there isnt ... but I guess thats normal to you :mjlol:

Stop right there..

This is Amerikkka Jack.. They don't "allow" anything.. You just have to take it.. And it clearly takes a level of sacrifice and risk he's not willing to take.. That's why he's always begging those that grinded on their own to get to where he wants to be..

His behavior is embarrassing not only to Black people but for the concept of manhood period..

I agree, and you are a classic poster here ... he should have hit them harder and made them come to him instead of vice versa ... but he's trying to do it (like he said) peacefully and equally... which you already said is a longshot because of how "the situation" is ... But I commend him for attempting to do it that way and not backing down ... He doesnt bend all the way over, he just passive aggressively makes them look like they are blocking him out. People keep saying black this and black that ... and another dude said he should do Chicago brands ... but where does that get you? Black people aint loyal... that would turn him into a trend and another FUBU or PHAT FARM ... he even watched Jay go down that road with Rocawear. Another dude said how adidas helped him and they are so great :russ: nikka its adidas .. they didnt even pay RUN DMC and they use sweatshops ... you think they give a fukk about anything ... they gave D.Rose 100 million to not even play :mjlol:

Olivier Rousteing is one if not the hottest designer, he's black and he's under 30. Puff won American fashion designer of the year and everyone else that won that price are legendary designers. He wasn't "given" anything, except a boost by the council cause he obviously didn't deserve that price. And there's several black designers, not so many CD's.


I don't even know what you are talking about. Answer at least one of these questions.


1. What exactly do you want?


2. Who is Mark Zuckberg giving a billion bucks for a clothing line?


3. Which designer was "given" anything? The dudes I know either climbed from the bottom to the top OR built their own shyt over decades (like Ralph Lauren, Gianni Versace, Yves Saint Laurent etc. all of who worked at other companies first and pushed their lines from small scale to major over decades). While Kanye came in the game and got his own LV sneaker line with little to no experience.

4. What level are you talking about? What is small? CFDA?




A lot of these fashion houses are owned by multinational multi billion dollar public corporations. They care about the bread, they don't care if the designer is white, black, Chinese or whatever. As I said nearly all of them have worked their way from the bottom to the top, I've never been to a fashion school but I don't know too many black dudes that have. I don't know a single black dude that works for a fashion house either. I can't really see the problem with the business. I can see problems in the entertainment business where a lot of black people work or aspire to but are Never C-suite. Now that's a real problem. Kanye not getting a billion bucks, not so much.

I'm sorry for the realness should be an album title.

Anyway, as a huge fan, I do fear Kanye is fukking himself up with this stuff. I can understand what he's going for and what he believes, but he tends to do such a poor job of both articulating it, and actually doing in reality.

I also fear that people will begin to not even take him seriously as an artist, which sucks since he is talented.

Well that I can't argue. He's always said this tho. He said he wanted the adidas yeezys to be about 80 bucks but adidas wouldn't let him

Then he said he called Payless but I'm guessing dude was like fukk you



So him making a line and charging 300 for a white tee is him either being caught in a lie or him trying to get money to do other things

Who knows

Kanye is Fulla shyt

Chicago State is closing because the Governor has cut funding... why the hell he ain't do a free concert to help them get some money??? Where is the Donda West Scholarship fund or Foundation to help the University or struggling Chicago State students? Why he ain't donate some money to JRW?? He knee deep in that Kardashian p*ssy and see outside of himself. That's why people hate him.
