Kanye West on the Breakfast Club (YouTube Link Added) (Full Interview)

[RatherUnique]

He says he wasted 13 million tryna' hang with English/French/Italian designers. Then complains Nike shelf him.
For 13 million he could set up a factory, even in America, and produced his own independent entirely self designed sneaker.

 

[King Biko]

Kanye was way over their heads. They basically trying to talk Kanye out of taking shyt to another level. He has goals, and you have to respect that. Money and Wealth is power in this country and few black people have power like that.

Trying to talk a nikka down. "Don't worry about the owners and the billionaire cac" "let them rule the world, don't try to get that power" "just make music"

No they were saying why say fukk the corporations and then beg them to let you in. Doesn't make sense.

He not beggin. He's demanding respect and calling out their bullshyt. Nike fukked up by marginalizing his impact with those yeezy shoes. They were reselling for well over a grand. He's trying to break through barriers and you gotta respect that.

I respect the message. It's his methods that I'm concerned about. To me, it just seems like he doesn't understand how business works.​

 

[O.T.I.S.]

That's because u didn't correctly answer the question. U answered the shyt from kanyes point of view not as if you were Lv or fendi why would you give this nikka partnership.

But I'm the smart dumb nikka tho. Smh

I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU

if you still can't understand... Do you need pictures?


Go tweet the nikka and ask him himself, just stop repeating yourself

 

[O.T.I.S.]

He not beggin. He's demanding respect and calling out their bullshyt. Nike fukked up by marginalizing his impact with those yeezy shoes. They were reselling for well over a grand. He's trying to break through barriers and you gotta respect that.

Exactly... and not because Kanye designed them. But because they were a hot fukking shoe that everyone wanted... Still wants

I think only the most CLASSIC of Jordans get re-sold that high... And for that to be the nikkas first/second shoe? Pretty impressive

 

[King Biko]

He not beggin. He's demanding respect and calling out their bullshyt. Nike fukked up by marginalizing his impact with those yeezy shoes. They were reselling for well over a grand. He's trying to break through barriers and you gotta respect that.

I do respect that. Never said I don't respect kanye and I do think he's a genius. I think he's going about this shyt in the wrong way tho.

And I think nike dropped the ball but he did too. I don't think his Adidas shyt will have the same impact that the yeezys did, simply because nike shyts on Adidas

c/s


crazy how closed minded and ignorant people really are.

I have to respect Ye for telling the real. He calling out all these corporations instead of being their good little black mascot like Jay does. You will never hear Jay make a record like New Slaves or Blood On The Leaves....

You think its that easy? If it was that simple don't you think he would've done it

Its just like sports franchises (not exactly but in a sense). If you want to own a team even if you have the money to buy it, it still has to be approved by the other owners. If you're trying to build a global brand on a level of LV you need that co-sign. A lot of these urban brands are owned by white people (including FUBU).

U keep telling me to tweet him but I'm asking u from a big corporations point of view what has he done to warrant partnership. I'm repeating myself because u keep tryna make points that don't answer the question. If u were fendi or Lv why would you give this nikka partnership?? Is it that hard to answer?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I do respect that. Never said I don't respect kanye and I do think he's a genius. I think he's going about this shyt in the wrong way tho.

I actually think you might be right but you never know.

It was the design of the Yeezy's i think that people like the most. I hate most adidas shoes but all he's looking for is the backing

Like I said. I love the yeezy 2's outside of the Jordan 3's, 4's, 11's and the Marino's they are my favorite nike design.

Some of the Jeremy Scott Adidas are kinda fly but they just don't compare to nike.

 

[re'up]

Kanye is just into Kanye, if he gave a fukk about the people, and all this revolutionary 'New Slaves', he would put his money and effort....at least some into helping the communities he comes from...13 million could contribute substantially to the school system in southside Chicago, or a portion of it...He wants to be a billionaire....good luck in ANY fukking industry, but by all means try...but I don't think it's REALLY about the money with him, he just wants IN... but with his money he could set up 5 generations of family wealth, buy real estate, buy land, buy hospitals and office buildings....Kanye will be Kanye, but we don't have to endorse his bullshyt, repeat it, or believe it....it doesn't mean he doesn't have a rebel bone in his body, or an intelligent thought in his head, or his musics wack....cuz I like yeezus....but, it means he's a pseudo intellectual diva, with a serious narcissistic/egomaniacal streak...and a deliberately dishonest and manipulative person to interview...

Gimmie 13 millie and i'll put out a whole line of fukkin' sneakers. Nothin' ever made by Kanye will become a timeless weathered luxary European brand. Dude just bytches and moans that elite European fashion designers won't give him the reigns. He's delusional. Why should they. It's like if a 50 year old Paris designer wanted Kanye to let him make Hip Hop with Kanye and Yeezy. It's absurd how entitled this guy feels, and no suprise his European idols dismiss his crazy American rapper ass.

 

[DF is BUSY]

this was one of the most strangest yet interesting interviews in a long time...

- why can't Kanye answer directly? dude was of topic ranting a lot though
- was expecting a cool laid back interview but this felt like mini rants with questions in between
- I think Charlemagne and myself included was not satisfied with this interview... all those deflects and beating around the bush answers = zzzz
