those cars arent about reliability.
Its about tech and performance.

Two different things.

Someone in this thread said cheap watches are more reliable than expensive watches...
...watch enthusiast arent dropping all that money for reliability...its for how intricate the watch mechanics are...
...branding, etc...
Exactly. I actually got really interested and researched horology for a while and I’m saying that about Rolex’s is not the full truth at all. And theirs people who keep their Rolex’s maintained for 30+ years. ANYTHING u get that’s expensive requires a lot of care and maintenance. Even down to Phones and TV’s. A Nokia brick phone ain’t better than an IPhone because the iPhone requires more maintenance. That’s just stupid and basic thinking.

What he said overall made total sense, I agree completely with his point...but that specific little prostitute talking point was just off. The watches and Ferraris shyt was on point, he coulda left the prostitute part out, lol
you don't have money so you wouldn't know what a rich nikka like Lupe is talkin about. he's speaking from experience that YOU DO NOT HAVE.

He's talking about those model looking escorts that the rich men get not chicks on the stroll. The same way a rich man wants a Ferrari and Rolex he gets the hoe. He's not literally saying they're more beautiful as a fact. Desirable is probably a better word.

He said they're fine but just like the Ferrari and Rolex they're damaged. You're saying what he's saying.
This would make sense if he didn’t say “for $30 dollars u have this one do this....”.

No. YOU shut the fukk up bytch ass nikka. U missed my whole fukkin point. Cheaply mass produced IPhone. Do u know the technology that goes into an iPhone? I said an iPhone VS a fukkin Nokia brick. See u talkin to the wrong nikka. TECH is what I do for a living nikka.

Pretty on point, especially about selling maintenance and an object that needs constant work. The best watches I had in terms of longevity were among the cheapest.

Remember, Japanese luxury (mainly Lexus) was getting dunked on by the snooty Euro brands for being "boring". The only other "reliable" Euro luxury brand was Volvo and that too was deemed boring. It is really sad, cause I got involved in car culture, and unless your car spends the majority of it's time on the lift, it is dismissed in most enthusiast circle.
Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, hell even Nissan were the shyt in the 90s, then they got boring from a style perspective and from a HP perspective.

At some point, people are going to have to reconcile themselves to the fact that there's no saving Kanye. Not because of his mental instability, but because of who he's chosen to surround himself with and have their hooks deeeeeeeep in his throat.

If/when he wants to save himself, all well and good. Until then...nah.
Yeah. But it also reflects his impact which is itself ridiculous when you zoom out.

You litterally said what he said wasn't true...then used his explanation as your explanation.

Half of this "rant" was about all the "maintence."

That's his point; this shyt is so "expensive" but it's more expensive to maintain...a trap.

That doesn’t mean it’s trash tho. That’s the point I’m saying. Of course there’s levels to shyt. But that’s a basic ass thing to say right there.
