Whats stopping him from buying a factory and making his own shoes and clothes? Why does he have to go through cac avenues to gain black independence????

Do you know who controls the raw materials (genuine leather, suede, wool, cotton, etc) market for all this stuff that is being made in addition to the factories? These fashion circles and air tight and generally closed off to black people, even those with money.

my dude kanye has sparked a serious debate though :whew:

Theres no debate. Kanye is a lunatic and only dummies are cosigning him.
oh yeah I forgot about that,maybe he was just in a bad mood:russ:...he seemed real open minded to the fact he might be wrong in this interview. He was way more gracious to charlegmane than I thought he would be who said a lot of crazy shyt about Kim and him even real recent. Now he talkin bout flyin dude out so he can here the album first:dwill:...im hopin he jokin,thats a bad look,Charlegmane got a voice now but he aint that important for Kanye to be as nice as he was and dangerously close to dikkriding. if he ever had a reason to flash on somebody it was Charlegmane and nobody coulda said nothing. instead Sway got what Charlegmane should have,least he was man enuff to apologize, that's Sway fault for not smackin that nikka down and coppin pleas:laff:

CTG is always quick to back down. Hes a "when Kanye come thru, I be quiet, but when he leave, I be talkin again" ass nikka.

But I do respect him for asking him direct questions tho.

told my friend @BlueJay the same thing. nikkas aint thinking about the big pictureman

Breh, people are very small minded in their thinking. They think because a nikka owns a maybach that he owns something. People need to travel more and see that black people don't own shyt. Most of world's gold, platinum, and diamonds comes from Africa and we do not own it, the white man does. But let a nikka buys a platinum Jesus piece with diamonds on it and these kids think he owns something :heh:

No they don't. U don't know what you're talking about. I know people in the industry. The only color that matters is green. :heh: @ a supplier saying no to money. A lot of the time they don't even see/meet the suppliers.

The value of fashion isn't in the materials, it's in the labor and design. The materials are all the same shyt

We got nikkas saying why cant he build a factory :laugh:

For what?

What good is building a factory without having enough capital for the labor, raw materials and overhead costs. Imagine if Yeezy tried to outsource the labour to indonesia and malaysia too...the media would rip his head off :laugh:. Better yet...why build a factory when the market isnt even established yet.Corporations have executives and staff/departments devoted to the hedging of commodity prices ALONE. It's not as easy as it looks! Wheres the money for the promotional budget. We got people saying two different things here...start from the ground up by building a factory? :what:

My dude says every person should be required to take physics and economics in school...i'd like to add accounting to that list :heh:

I understand your point and it's now clear that this is now a matter that I should be caring about regardless of my situation. Besides finance and how blacks are somehow slaves to bigger corporations and what not, part of the problem relies within our own community.

Down here in the GTA (Toronto) you got the Indians, the biggest percentage of race down here, and they're all willing to help each other even financially.

:russ: at work the Indians stay giving discounts, promos, and business cards and shyt to each other simply after talking to each other for 5 minutes in Punjabi.

Charlamagne was askin Ye direct questions and ye was dancin around them shyts and was talkin in circles :stopitslime:

He meant well and had a point but
with the jordan thing. he was dedicating his time playing ball. not trying to sell his shoes.

his game SOLD his shoes.

that's the difference. Whats up with the bobcats then doesn't he own some of that or something?

black ppl own tons of shyt.

I dont think its about him TRYING to sell the shoes, its about what he deserved because Phil Knight made money off a product that was inspired and based around Michael.

Its like if someone drew a painting of you, sold it for millions of dollars, wouldn't you expect the artist to cut you a cheque? :patrice:

Kanye is anything but a successful business man, the music industry is a business after all so who's the hater

being successful at business doesn't MAKE YOU A GENIUS
you don't even need an education to do that
You need an education to be a genius? :what:

If I was a genius I would be able to do what I want to do without an education, but since I'm not a genius I have to study this shyt for 6 years to show employers that I actually know this shyt. I.e. you can be a genius with education or without, but doing it without the education is a lot more impressive.

:smh: @ this smart dumb nikka and his pseudo bullshyt. Been reading up on Philosophy I see. :heh:

His arrogance and narcissism is just too much at this point. You can be ambitious all you want but don't rub it all over people's faces like you're entitled to it.

fukk out of here with that bullshyt!! :camby:
