If Kanye ain't doing shyt for his ppl while he has 100 million what makes nikkas think he'll do something if he gets a billion? I think Charlamagne doesn't realize or came to the realization today that Kanye has no interest in being a black leader. Dude wants the cacs to accept him and his white wife in the fashion world and that's it.

Let Ye tell it though, he's doing this for Us, we just don't see it. He's in 2023 and we stuck in 2013 :beli:

and what exactly does that mean?

That because most of their interviews are with black people that all black people are their demographic because im "black" and i dam sure dont support their shyt. So like i said, who specifically is their demographic?
white suburban stay at home mothers

fukk it let's turn up then, monkeys! Let's compile a list! Can you count the designer brands worn in this video?



- Rolex
- Jordan
- New Era

...this video reached 35million people and what did it do for gang violence in Chicago? What doors did it open up?
Then go over to KanyeToThe and see all the designers and fashion moguls Kanye has inspired. Which one does
the most for the black community? Kanye or....?

It's amazing how Karl Kani a nikka who no one ever heard of could start a clothing line and make 100's of millions yet a nikka with the fame of Kanye can't do it.
Karl Kani did it because he put in that work...
Kani at age 16, started hand making garments
Had 3 failed attempts and 2 physical stores fail trying to break into the industry before he finally found success
He finally made money and then invested almost all the initial start up from his OWN funds to launch the Karl Kani brand

The change needed for that has to come from the top. The type of power kanye is talking about is what can make real differences. Not him doing a benefit concert or having a after school program in Chicago.

what kind of change is that? kanye seemed more concerned with getting his propers from the guys running designer labels, than doing something to promote real change for black people. he spent a lot of time complaining about the system, but seems to ignore or not notice that he is now part of the same system he's complaining about. $100 tshirts?? "but i didn't set the pricing" :stopitslime:

No, he's tryna have 'em decked out in YEEZY wear.

I'd rather wear expensive brands from my own people than white people who know nothing of my struggle and lack respect for my tastes based on my race.

I see you Ye...

Wait explain how Kanye getting a line under the Louis Vuitton fashion house is going to make a real difference? Please explain? I dont get it homie...

I'm just speaking from the context of what kanye is saying. A line under Louis Vuitton is just another step on his ladder to the proverbial top. He's trying to get that real money the type that makes a real difference and brings another world of connections.

Marc Jacobs did it because he put in that work...
At age 15 started work in a boutique in new york
Started selling his own line of HAND KNIT sweaters before he was 18
Won the Perry Ellis Gold Thimble Award, Chester Weinberg Gold Thimble Award, and Design Student of the Year Award by age of 21
ran peris ellis fashion for a couple years, got fired for a controversal fashion line
fought his way back in the industry, created another new company
got on at louis vuitton and improved the already prestigious brand's reputation

I feel where Kanye is coming from but you can't expect old white money to play fair. It sounds impossible, but he's going to have look for other avenues and go for a marathon and not a sprint. It's not in their best interest to help him outshine them.
