Rick Owens Says He Isn't Familiar with Jay Z, Rick Ross, or Hip-Hop in General

[lamont614]

But should you be blaming the designers? They never asked for name drops from rappers. They are doing their own thing.

In fact sometimes they don't want to be associated with rap like the time Gucci pulled the plug on that T.I ft Swizz song about Gucci rags. It's the rappers' own damn fault.

It has always struck me as rather odd that all these self-proclaimed hustlas would advertise products for free considering the influence and pull they have over certain demographics.

These brands can't pull that shyt in Hollywood. Those nerdy CaCs make them cough the money up if they want product placement.

Facts that raf video made me bring this back from the dead

And jigger and the rest of these c00n rappers like while Rick Owens publicly at them

High fashion designers give free clothing to Hollywood actors ALL THE TIME, because they want them to be seen in their clothes, but the c00ns in this thread will ignore that

That pic is horrid. But this isn't the first time this happened. That's the problem with us as a whole. We go fishing for approval from these CACs that don't understand us. He is happy as hell to get more money and be seen in another market. And like he said, he doesn't give them shyt for it, all that promo for free. We rap about these stupid ugly, overpriced overrated brands who look at us as curiosity and a fun experiment rather than a serious genre of music. Jay-z with all his money and "influence" and these CACs don't even respect him. We should be using that money to make our own Gucci, fendi, Prada or what have you. Instead, we give these CACs free promo and more money and they can't even say thanks. Disgusting

Can't do that because when they do that ...... we shyt on it and try to say "give me the hook up"

If there was a online link for Clothes and liquor etc.... we would try and download it


If it's not free we not trying to pay for it unless it comes from the white man because his ice is colder


So don't start with that we the only ones that say "damn he got enough money he needs to give half to the inner city or where is my money I'm tired of putting money in his pockets"

I'm tired of Jay-Z bigging up these cac brands who either barley acknowledge his existence or flat out don't want him mentioning there brand altogether. Big up black brands.

Black ppl have cultural cache in certain fields, high fashion isn't one of them. This has nothing do with self hate or dysfunctional group economics.
