Check out the Cam'ron interview on the breakfast club, he said Jay was making less than 10% on the sales on the Rocawear line. I'm sure the same was for Sean John to. White fashion companies owned those brands we didn't even know it. They put their name on it but they don't own it. How else was Macy's willing to sell that stuff in their stores? The game is a lot deeper than we realize.

Yeezy's didn't sell because Kanye made them, they sold because they were a hot shoe. Kanye's name got them noticed andI collect shoes too. Them shyts were a hot design, not because it was Kanye's shoe...

Rick Ross had a shoe too, so did G-unit and Jayz I think... them shyts went no where

:manny: To each their own I guess. Personally I wouldn't wear em. But you can't deny that there are people who would buy something just because a celebrity endorses/promotes it.

It doesn't matter because he's already partnered with one. If you don't understand then thats you, stop asking me and tweet the man

Well let's see what he makes with them and where he takes it. He got his chance now hopefully he will stop bytching and show and prove

Why won't Kanye go on Kickstarter and get his Stans to donate money so he could start his own shyt like Spike Lee is doing with his new film?

The Truth
That shyt ain't even been officially announced. Any way stop dodging the fukking question

What has kanye done to warrant partnership from these billion dollar cooperations??
This my last time writing to you

He has done a lot more in another form of the industry to make himself popular and designed a hot enough shoe to make it sell well and is highly desirable. Thats what "earned" him the fukking partnership whether you agree with it or not.

I'm not shytting on them negro :what:

I've already SAID they were huge successes but they were strictly for the hood. Yeah, they COULD'VE done high end but they didn't...

And they were no where near as close to Prada, LV, etc... They were local to the inner city hoods. Thats not what the WORLD was trying to buy

And he's trying to do it bigger than them, because the ones that are doing it the biggest are the ones that are controlling not just the fashion world. He's just using art/fashion as a way to get to those levels..

He's saying 7 black billionaires ON THE PLANET. He's trying to use music, to use fashion, to use something else to make more than 7 billionaires controlling the world.... you understand?

These are slow nikkas...how would they understand? :snoop:

I still got these slow poke nikkas saying why doesn't he go and create his own high end fashion line. They have no idea how intricate the high end fashion game is. Its like telling a billionaire nikka to go create an NBA team without the approval of other owners in the NBA, the politicians in X city, bond proposal for arena, licensed apparel company, etc. first. If Kanye wanted to be the next FUBU urban fashion designer they would have no problem because it doesn't cut into their market. These nikkas don't understand that Porsche is not threatened by the rise of Kia. But Porshce is threatened by the rise of Audi :heh:

That doesn't warrant that at all. That's like if Ralph Lauren was to say that since his clothes were popular amongst the hip hop crowd and if he was to make a hot ass beat that he should get partnership with def jam to start his on label.

And I agree no need for you to respond to me again

Again...

is it "Smart nikkas sound like crazy nikkas to dumb nikkas". He says he understands but keeps asking the same fukking question I already answered.

******s just trying to shyt on nikkas because they don't agree with their "personality". I don't give a fukk about Kanye's personality, but I respect his musical genius and the shyt he's trying to pull off. I even understand why he changes his voice, to get people who normally wouldn't listen to him spread the same fukking message

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" :rudy:

Again y'all nikkas only looking at this from one point of view

Why should these billion dollar companies give him partnership?? What has he done to warrant it???

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
