Lupe Fiasco rants about Kanye West and materialism

[Zero]

Of all the things Lupe talked about in the full talk, nikkas choosing to spend most time dissecting and discerning prostitution and women.

It’s fitting, since most of what he was talking about is how easily distracted we can get by things that don’t matter.

It's absolutely perfect

Full 40 minute rant:

if it breaks constantly then wtf is so impressive about the mechanics breh the shyt is faulty but they sell you on that being a part of the game when really it's a scam, wealthy people don't buy a fraction of the high end shyt that they convince other people to buy because they already know

Who's buying it then?

This was a great view.

Very rarley do we get this type of insight exposing certain industries, Lifstyles, and Brands from someone that HAS HAD as much access as Lupe.

Dude has been to Paris, Milan, and Monaco ( where this smilie comes from ,) with BILLIONAIRES

He's not just some random talking out his ass.

Very refreshing and insightful imo.

Hate to say it, but us black folks are the easiest consumers to manipulate. We are FOOD to these corporations.

Y'all clueless, the best, most enduring, most high quality, most precise watches and cars come from Middle Europe, Germany and Switzerland to be exact. There's a reason why their pricing is high-end

Are those watches the ones pushed in rap though? Rolex, Audemar, Patek?

Yes. Those are some of the more high-end watches that collectors deal with, there are others like A.Lange, etc

 

[OHSNAP!]

Breitling, IWC etc. Yeah those are highest quality for a reason, check out their manifacturing

Lupe just told us Rolex are maintenance pits. Audemar and Pateks aren't?

 

[Cadillac]

Notice I said "ONE of". More obtuse behavior. You gonna follow me like a hoe ass groupie in different Booth threads now or admit you hate a city?

nothing obtuse nikka, as all i said was that "is what you tell yourself" and called you delusional.

here you go again mr. "im smarter than everyone else" jumping ahead making conclusions , inserting things I never said, and putting meanings behind my post that isnt there With your smart dumb ass

@Bold: slow down bytch nikka, cause i dont follow no nikkas. I just remember this post and wanted to come back to it. And i have no hate for no city, again like i said in the other thread deal with your own issues, insecurities and so on and stop putting/projecting them on me.

I also must have hit a nerve for your bytchass to neg me. But go on and cap on how that didnt phase you lil sensitive ass nikka

Sorry, I didn't get what your original post mean. But what I'm saying is that they aren't money pits. They require a service every 5 years, or there about.

Considering the fine and technical movements inside of the watch, you as a buyer should know how fragile they are if not handled properly.

This is where I think Lupe is completely incorrect. He probably bought his Rolex, AP, PP, A.Lange, etc as a flashy name, but not know why these watches cost so much money

Isn't that his point though, that a bunch of people buy this shyt not for the fine and technical movements, but because they heard their favorite rappers talk about them.

They're not buying these cars with the knowledge that these will require a shyt ton of money in upkeep, money they might not have 5 years in the future if they only had 1 or 2 hits.

He made the point in the video that Rolex is “trash”. There’s a certain level of what you pointed out which I agree, but there was also some untrue points.

The prostitutes Lupe is talking about arent operating on social media beyond the extent of displaying their appearance. Youre not slipping in their dm's with any success. They have handlers. They're lowkey and exclusive.

$30 prostitute lowkey? I mean I guess. Lol. People talking all this exclusive shyt and ignored that this man literally said $30 prostitutes.

 

[spliz]

Eh.

I can only talk about the watch part, as that’s where I’m more knowledgable but he’s completely wrong

The watches are purely mechanical. If you want a watch you never have to service then that’s fine and real watch collectors always have one of those beaters on deck. Mine is a quartz Casio Oceanus that you never have to set the time (Atomic and GPS time setting) and is solar powered.

On the other hand I have 3 Rolex, 1 Tissot, 1 Seiko. They are all mechanical and from Switzerland and Japan. They use mechanical movements which are more intricately designed and are a lot more fragile. They servicing requirements on them are every 5 years for normal usage, and simply need a bit of lubrication and cleaning.

If you’re fukking around with the watch and not treating it with basic care and attention, then just buy a digital one. I’ve seen watches from 30’s and 50’s that are still running to this day.

NORMAL people and horologist fans buy watches to last and wear for a life time. Rappers and people trying to roll like a rapper buy them to floss not knowing the features of a luxury item.



He was taking about Eastern European women.

I live in London and know exactly what he’s talking about.

You can fukk a fine as fukk Polish chick in RLD in Amsterdam for €60

Exactly someone else in here knows. Fam I literally said this SAME shyt about the watches and some dumb ass tried to act like I was the wrong one. Buncha goofy ass nikkas online who would rather speak than listen. I never understood people talking with such authority about something they have no idea about. Anybody who’s into horology in the slightest would've shytted on his Rolex take.
