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

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Well they released but a few thousand pairs of each shoe. So how wildy popular could they be, if nobody can afford or get them? It's hard to believe he couldn't replicate such small numbers with all his bread, without a corporation. If he want's to make non hip hop apparel, then make some. So far what has he made? Leather pants and a leather skirt? What else has he spent of his 13 mill to put into production? So far his only success has been "hip hop" related sneakers. (Also, the Scottish will tell you that is not a KILT, no matter how much he want's to leech off another cultures garb, to avoid calling it a dress/skirt.)

1. The Air Yeezy sneakers were a limited edition and they sold out in a few hours. They "retail" for like $150 or some shyt like that but the resell value is over $1000. You're obviously aren't up on the sneaker game like that.

2. You keep talking about production but a lot more goes into a clothing line. If you want your shyt to be a high end fashion brand with global recognition you have to have "connections". Its just that simple. You think the difference between a shirt being sold in K-mart and a similar shirt being sold in Barney's is the money backing it? I know you're not that naïve.

but nicki minaj is content to have her shyt sold in k mart

Stop trying to psychoanalyse kanye west, its embarrassing. Rising to the heights he's risen too and feeling held back will make you eccentric, it happens to the best of them. Kanye just needs media training.

lol....if you think thats psychoanalysis then I feel embarrassed for you..........everything I said about him in the post he has said about himself, he has admitted that he is insecure and has a huge ego....

The problem with people like you is you have no idea how business really works, as an artist I doff my cap to him, hes a legend, nuff props....

as a businessman he sucks and the fact that all he can take from the failure of his entry into the fashion world is that it was purely down to racism tells me why he sucks...

The fact that he lost $13m tells me he has no business running a business

The fact that he doesnt have a plan B tells me he has no business running a business

lol at him being eccentric ....hes a spoilt brat who was seeking acceptance and is pissed because he was rejected....


I couldnt write 8 bars or produce a record to save my life...... but while Kanye was studying art I was studying business... and I have NEVER lost money on any venture Ive been involved in....

you like your idol Kanye have no idea how business really works

A lot of people have failed at multiple businesses before they succeeded. The fact that you think a successful business person never loses money is naïve as fukk. Kanye just happens to be in a position to where he can invest more capital. Millionaires and billionaires lose money all the time in failed investments. The only difference is they are in a position to take loses and keep it moving. There's always risk an any business venture.

This interview Kanye is a lost and confused c00n. I blame his parents for him being so fukked up. The dude pictures himself as some sort of genius cac white man that is somehow getting "marginalized" despite all of the fame and fortune and acclaim he has attained to this point. And what is this nonsene about him calling Kim some sort of fukking icon? Kanye has really lost it.

I see him killing himself on some nonsense very shortly.

Shut up bytch

firstly I never said that a successful business person never loses money, so please dont fabricate to prove a point friend, stick to what I posted.....

If you read my post you we clearly see that its a combination of him losing that money , not having a plan B, and most importantly not realising where he personally went wrong is enough to tell me his is no business man, ...If I were an investor the combination of these two factors alone would give me pause...

anyone can lose money on a business venture.... its the person that loses money and doesnt ask himself where he went wrong, what could he have done differently and how he would avoid making such mistakes in the future who is an idiot.....

all I have heard from Kanye is him blaming other people


like I said...some of us run our own business....some of us have managed to attract significant investment in our businesses so on a PRACTICAL and not theoretical level we know what we are talking about....

I have no fukking idea if Kanye west is a talented designer .....but I do know he aint no businessman

 

[Ziggiy]

If Kanye spoke like this and articulated himself in this manner in EVERY interview without allowing himself to fly off the handle he'd be taken A lot more seriously. Kanye has always been intelligent, he's just has a childish streak of ranting that turns people off and dismiss him as crazy. The funny thing is that Steve Jobs was also HIGHLY known for doing the exact same thing. It's a form of creative ADD but with Kanye attempting to do something that even he acknowledges only a FEW blacks ever achieve he can't afford that particular trait.

b bb bb b bb b but steve jobs was just like kanye is now

Like if we stop listen to what he's saying .. It's not about fashion .. It's about barriers into breaking into the fashion industry ..this industry has been using musicians and athletes for years to promote their product as a walking billboard and getting mad bread profit guap..

It's nothing for these big MULTI BILLION DOLLAR company's to CUT A LITTLE CHECK for a athlete or musicians .. The problem is these company's only let the musicians wear there company's brand or give them LITTLE projects to create a line here and there.. Put yourself in his shoes.. Honestly 90% of people in kanyes shoes would just sit back BE QUIET and make music,.. Win more Grammys.. Have this new world iphone media generation try to assassinate your character 24/7..
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?


I mean it's harder for athletes to be big in fashion but it's so much easier for someone who is a professional at creativity like a kayne to break down that MONOPOLY..

These company's he always name drops are trying to limit his influence and creativity.. As a black man you have to appreciate this.. His "TURNUP" is what's needed ..

These CACS don't care about us.. They killin us in these streets man.. They look at us sideways.. It's 2013.. fukk everyone who has an opinion of you and yours.. The world is open for everyone don't let these CACS keep the doors close.. Kick that's shyt down and let you goons eat ya feel me..

 

[Nemesis]

The same dude head of LVMH Bernard Anault who Kanye was criticising made this dude designer Oswald Boateng head of Givenchy design house in 2004..... Boateng also has his own label and has practically suited almost everyone from Beckham to Tony Blair








This is Bruce Oldfied ......the most exclusive black designer you never heard of, he designs strictly couture and designed for Princess Diana the Queen of England, Liz Taylor and a whole heap of royalty and rich and famous....

Bruce Oldfield was an orphan brought up in an orphanage.... Oswald Boateng never studied fashion he bought some machines and built up his multi million fashion empire from scratch....

These two guys started off without a penny and rose to the top and Im sure that every obstacle Kanye faced they faced and they damn sure didnt have $13 million dollars.... the point is they persevered and rose to the top......

This is my point about having a plan B,C,D if your plan A dosent work, which is the difference between these guys and Kanye West


is the fashion industry racist? yes so is politics, IT, music, Film, Banking, education, medicine, sports ...... but we everyday folk still get on with it and try and beat the system


dude was happy to sell his sneakers for $1000 through Louis Vuitton but now they wont throw him a bone Im supposed to Boycott them, Fukkoutahere .... is he gonna boycott Barclays that didnt give me a business loan I once asked for....

cacs aint lettin us be billionaires word to oprah cause they cacs and the cacs that listen to our music and pay for it daily are just cacs that dont respect the struggle cause theses cacs dont want us to eat

but theyll buy all the music and clothes from the shows and shyt but the cacs wont let the fashion industry be for us cause they cacs and it dont matter how many multi-millions we got to fund a fashion label the cacs wont support us and we cant count on our own people cause the cacs wont let us

People need to understand that it's not that simple as just starting your own. You need connections like a few people have already stated. Also, like someone else said, for the majority of wealthy whites, the wealth is generational.

Someone said that Kanye should put in work and that is true, but you also have to remember that this corporation shyt is basically a damn arms race. Really think about it, when did most of these major corporations start? The majority started many decades ago and as we all know, it wasn't like blacks had any opportunity to build anything substantial when everything was still being taken from us.

Kanye may ramble a lot and the whole fashion thing may get aggravating, but his message is clear. We as blacks, run a lot of shyt, but don't own shyt. We influence damn near every aspect of culture but settle for scraps. It would be nice if we can begin to own our shyt, build wealth and have power and not only have our voice heard,but also recognized and taken seriously. That's an entirely different thread though.

Like I said, great interview and that analogy Ye used was great. We finally got let in the building but we're lost and pretty much always end up on the bottom floor.

when will you lames and permanent victims learn?

nobody gives it to you

you have to take it

Kayne is being himself.. When your a celebrity holding 50+ page threads in thecoli you have to be transparent and be yourself all the time.. Why change.. fukk these

What I'm getting from all this is that he's using social media as a platform to rant and make noise worldwide(America isn't the only country people).. Jay z did it with manga carter and he's doing it by being himself and not hiding things in these interviews.. It's what he does best.. You think he's not making calculated decisions? He is using social media to broaden his brand.. Stop being so sensitive.. Your on a message board right now .. Think outside the box.. Social media is everything.. We are at page 50 something right now.. He knows exactly what he's doing.. He has a plan..
