Nah man, what I think people don't get is the sense of entitlement. At the end of the day Steve Jobs and Wozniak started Apple in a garage. Kanye has already experienced the pinnacle of success in his field and appears like he thinks that entitles him to a certain head start in a different industry. As it turns out, those with the $ and power in those industries are simply saying "we don't believe you, you need more people."

We can relate to the frustration, but playing it out publicly is a little embarrassing at times.

true, but at the same time he hit you with the yeezy's and the LV designs so how hard could you really argue against it :patrice:

i kind of understand it though cuz they're like "nikka just cuz you can make shoes we're not gonna give you a a full line :childplease:"

if he took others advice and started his own shyt it could be dope, but wouldn't get that same level of respect those other brands get. so him wanting some kind of cosign makes sense too :patrice:

tbh this nikka is kinda floating in uncharted water :mindblown: way too much shyt going against his favor, i def woulda said fukk it and bounced :whew: (right onto Kim's soft ass :noah:)

it's basically what he said, neither Sway nor Charlemagne or anyone else has been in this situation and can't grasp the levels of shyt he's talking about so all of their opinions and advice on the matter are completely worthless

He's also a bit desperate tho, because these are all points best made over a negotiating table. Clearly big business is not convinced. Every day several people experience this frustration of essentially not getting the job, for whatever reason. Just Kanye has this platform, so the vent session you or I might have with our family and friends, Kanye is having on the radio with strangers, fans, etc..

He has a voice to vent and he's using it. It might sound desperate right now, but people are paying attention. Now everyone knows that he has a new deal with Adidas and people are watching. shyt, it can all be a fukking marketing plan.

The top of the City
For dudes who work, just think about the work place dynamic. I can remember back as an unpaid intern I worked on something that I know for a fact was stalled before I got on it, and ended up bringing in 15k for the company in one shot (a small company, was a lot to me at the time). I was an unpaid intern. That was frustrating as fukk! I was young, left that company and didn't really cultivate relationships, and now I can't even rely on them for a letter of recommendation. That's immaturity and learning. Now picture a celebrity, who's already used to getting his ass kissed daily going thru the basic day in day out fukkery of working life. He's not emotionally prepared for shyt EVERY working person who's worth their weight in salt will experience multiple times in a career. That's why he is on some rich nikka problems shyt and it's hard to relate to him. He's leveraging his celebrity to get special treatment. Smart move, if I could I would too, but I can't so it's whatever. I don't feel too sorry for dude. :manny:

Yeah
:snoop: this nikka sway and them breakfast club nikkas dont get it

if kanye tries to "do it with his own money" the highest he'll be able to go is Jordan/Nike status

this nikka said he wanted to be Apple and broke down for these nikkas how nike isn't anywhere close to the level he's talkin about and they still dont get it :why:

they dont get difference between tryna be nikka-rich and only helpin the people around you as opposed to tryna be wealthy and helpin possibly a whole generation of people

i feel like im crazy as shyt for understanding where kanye is coming from
Listening to this shyt made my head hurt for yeah this nikka keeps repeating himself because nikkas seem to not know how to comprehend :wtf:

I'm a college graduate working a day job while I'm trying to get a career in my field, I don't give a shyt that Kanye West is having a problem releasing another $1200 shoe

yea I get him too, i think it was Chris Rock that said, shaq is rich but the nikka that pay shaq is wealthy, ye is trying to be the nikka that pays shaq.. most black people dodnt know or dont believe that type of status can be reached or just dont know how to get there, so ye being the first person they can relate to really try to do it, is :mindblown: to them.

He gotta understand reaching that point ain't easy. Nobody gonna help him become they boss and reach that level. Not a black man. Especially not no rapper.

:wtb:If he wanna help the COMMUNITY why don't he come to the COMMUNITY and ask:mjpls:....if Marcus Garvey could raise money and start a movement with no mic that traveled globally in seconds or tv time,in a period where nikkas didn't have 300$ to spend on shoes,why cant Kanye?thought he was influential:mjpls:?all ya millionaire rap buddies cant contribute to the pot? you from Chicago u aint got Oprahs line:heh:

This is about a nikka who realized he hit that ceiling in his proffesion and has gotten as far as folks in power will let him . Basically tellin us shyt the rest of us in the real world already knew but he apparently was shocked by because he thought these cacs loved em:laff:...now he back to this ''us" talk like all those types do when reality sets in.

But its all good:mjpls:...but he seems emotionally and mentally unstable,and His plan and thoughts don't seem well thought out enough to where he seems like somebody who ANYBODY will invest in,but maybe they better on paper:heh:...if I thought he was tryna help the community id say we should all gladly chip in and give em the money for free. Sound like he just wanna scream outlandish shyt and namedrop to build up enuff hype til somebody LETS him into the fashion game like they used to let slaves in the house:yeshrug:
