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

[Everythingg]

Like I just stated it was more factors within them shoes selling. Kanye has a fan base because of his music that will support whatever he does not just because they think they dope but because they support the nikka and that they are still a nike shoe. And on top of that they were very limited

Stop it 5 lol. Its bigger than his fanbase. Celebrities to athletes were ALL rocking Yeezy's.. What He's saying is he deserves a second chance to create something at that extent. He proved it once, why couldnt he get another chance? Would Louis V throw away Marc Jacobs (who I assume works there from this interview. Not sure about it though) after he made a successful print or whatever he does there? Doubtful. He would be appluaded and give another chance. With Kanye not so much for whatever reason.

 

[blackslash]

Its funny you say this, yet put so much worth in European designers and labels, this is what essentially i've got from Kanyes overall message, he is unhappy because he took a design to Lou v or whoever and they rejected it, now he wants to use his skin colour has a way to get blacks rallying behind him. Kanye obviously ain't a Pan Africanist, neither is he pro black, so i could give a fukk about his bytch ass rhetoric, the women who he decided should raise his black family says a lot about who he is, how can a airhead white whore, raise a black queen?

and theese two assessments of character are based on actual interaction with the individual and the necessary knowledge of her personal life u must have to make such claims, correct?

Lets take feelings and emotions outta this. Can you name three rappers/celebrities that are illustrating the problems that Kanye has? I dont get it? I mean we are focused on fashion while he is dropping gem after gem. Not anything that any knowledgeable person didnt already know. But things that the average sheep did not know and would not know unless Kanye (or anybody in his position as a celebrity) told them. They aint checking the news. They aint checking the higher learning section of this site to come up on some knowledge. So for Kanye to say it might make them start digging deeper. In fact not might it WILL. Not all but some of them for sure. So I give him props for that. If you cant respect a celebrity taking his position to speak on real issues such as slavery to brands such as Jordan and apple and privately owned prisons that get paid for prisoners, I dont know what else I have for input

Being a revolutionary and fighting for the plight of the people got Malcolm X, Tupac, and MLK (just to name a few) killed. Now being a billionaire revolutionary? We'll see what happens.Thats if Kanye can get to that...

Pac got killed for fukking with the wrong crips, lets stop equating him with dudes like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King.

 

[Everythingg]

What does this mean? lol

Im not saying thats what Kanye is going to become. It just seems to me thats where hes trying to head. And the only way you become a billionaire is if you're born into a family that are already billionaires or thru PRODUCT. Now Kanye could get a liquor bottle and promote that or he could do something he is passionate about. This would be fashion I assume.

I gave him props for talking about those things if they sincere. If its some fake reactionary shyt that comes from him not being able to get into the fashion industry,and wanting to further his agenda though? no im not givin him credit for that,I hope hes serious and follows through.

I don't care who it is,superstar or no superstar. Kanye aint the first nikka to be a bandwagon activist,become revolutionary or play a race card when he was having difficulty advancing or felt discriminated against by higher powers. I think all people are questioning is how genuine it all is. id love em to mean every word of what he saying but the timing and lack of detail,focus on himself and kim and fashion...causes some of us to see it as somewhat phoney and simply not ready to drink the koolaid just yet....if he has a hard time explaining it all just because he thinks 20 years into the future. im simply reserving my until I can see this aint just another reactionary moment from a celebrity before I start throwing out words like revolutionary. only cuz I feel his words are somewhat hollow. im holding my applause nothing more nothing less....no disrespect to him,just him not being able to explain himself and the contradictions in many of his interviews made me to what he talkin about.

people can feel how they wanna feel about it though,if it feel real to you...cuz maybe it is

What a stupid ass comment, i didn't need to meet Marcus Garvey or Kwame Nkrumah to know they were Pan Africanists, i drew that conclusion from their words and actions the same way i rew my conclusion of Kanye from his words and actions.

 

[Everythingg]

What the fukk are you talking about, the black community is black peoples in America and in the diaspora, if Kanye was so passionate about uplifting black people he wouldn't have a child willingl with a brain dead white women, that is really quite the opposite of what we should be teaching our black daughters to be. That to me says a lot about the person he is.

Yes his girl is the opposite of what would we want our daughters to be. Does that change the message that was presented in the video? Does that change the FACT that he just told people on a national radio station that the information they receive is often lies? Does that change the fact that he just spelled out the fact thatprivate corporations are invested in the same music companies that signs artists to promote illegal and damning activities and are the same corporations that invest in private prisons for profit? See for me it doesnt change it. Because I just want a voice to get out there so people will do something about it. Instead of intaking this message, you're going on about his personal life as a mean to discredit the message? I guess it is what it is.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

True. But at the same time, do we know the exact process behind it?

No, but I have seen enough other stories in fashion to know that Ye's claims that he can't do anything w/o sitting on some white man's lap is ridiculous. You look at any major designer, they started on their own. Fendi was started by 2 brothers in Italy a few years after WWI. Versace was started by 1 dude in 1978. There are new brands taken seriously in the fashion world still coming out. Rick Owens, Silent, Yohji Yamamoto etc etc I could go on and on... none of these people had an "inside track". They made a business plan and executed it. Kanye doesn't, and wants to blame everyone else for his lack of strategy and vision.

 

[Ohene]

Ok breh, since you can translate his intentions better, school me.

crawl bbefore you walk before you run..

one nikka cannot do that much for such a large issue. You're saying Kanye should be the one fixing those issues but to invest thaat much would dig into how much of his fortune. And then what? Nobody is in a position to do anything.

You want to know who should be helping Chiraq? Walgreens. McDonalds. Allstate. Sears if they werent such a mess. Chicagoan corporations. But why wont they? We know why.

A rapper cant do shyt for no damn community in the long run and Kanye is trying to transcend rap. Jay-Z aint even that big man, think of the bigger picture.Thats what your P&G's and Coca Cola's are for, your fortune five hundreds. They are the ones with the real power to actually do that large scale shyt

Am I saying that Kanye will help if in that position. shyt...who knows. But the faith is def there

"Bernard Arnault said he didn't understand why he needed to take a meeting with me. Black people in atlanta don't go to louis vuitton today! That's why you need to take a meeting with me today Bernard Arnault!"


Meanwhile upon hearing ye's command, black people in atlanta are like:

This nikka really thinks black people listen to him like that? He thinks we really give a fukk about his fashionista problems? And to top it off, he thinks we droppin money on louis vuitton to the point where if we stopped, they would say, "I guess we need to take that meeting with kanye west"? This negro is delusional.


Looked up this Bernard Arnault character on google:
"In 2013, Forbes ranked him the 10th richest person in the world with a net worth of $29 billion."

Bernard Arnault:

That dude don't need no goddamn black people to buy his shyt.

 

[Ohene]

Rightly or wrongly, Kanye probably views FUBU as the fashion equivalent of Nelly/50. Hot for a good minute, enough to build a life time of fortune. But not on the level of a Ralph Lauren or even a Paul Smith.

breh these nikkas need to rewatch the interview. Kanye hit the nail on the head with that worn out urban line comment.

Fubu
Akademiks
Artful Dodger
LRG
next up is Diamond supply

etc etc etc

they come and they go.

 

[Thoughts]

nikkas acting like he wasnt ousted from running the company he founded

13 million?

Theres an old MTV interview that you can find on google. It was from around the time of College dropout (maybe before). He is stating the same goals and aspirations he is here. Im not quite sure about the fashion part being spoken of, but I do remember him saying similar things about corporations, or bettering the world, and not being boxed into being something he doesnt want to be boxed into. The same things hes stating here. This was as an artist that was just coming out the gate (as far as rapping). Fast forward? And now hes still talking that talk but now hes shouting it. And now hes at the top of his game (as far as rap is concerned) so now MORE people will hear (and actually listen) to what hes saying.

He doesnt need nor deserve applause for stating whats right. Thats something anyone in his position should be doing if they had heart. But they dont. And thats my point. One artist (for whatever reason) is letting people in on game that they may have not heard had he not said it.

im talkin bout that analysis u made about Kim

u know..about her being a airhead hoe....which means u must know her personally in some way or gotten the idea she is those things on platforms where she exposes her true self(the woman that kanye married)

But continue to be a dense ass nikka all for the sake of being crab in a barrel ass nikka
