they believe that black people buying and wearing their products lowers it's perceived value, so it wouldn't shock me 

rapper were not shouting out gucci in the 90ssaw a bunch of rappers buying their clothes and shouting them out in the 90s.
wrong....
90% of the gucci you see in the HOOD and most black people rocking in the CLUBS is FAKE BOOTLEG SHYT ANYWAY...
my homeboy who has a shop in the flea market down in DUVAL says.....GUCCI IS STILL HIS TOP BRAND AS FAR AS BELTS and BAGS...
people in the streets aren't concerning themselves with boycotting this brand...
Political and racial correctness is the last thing on common folk's mind when they trying to look "fly"
simply put even if they are "offended" they (our people) will simply find another EUROPEAN BRAND to throw thier dollars and loyalty to ....
so at the end of the day this boycott is meaningless
one rapper promoted boycott isn't enough to turn back the tide of insecurity..materialism ...consumerisim and material attachment that has plagued black people for such a long long time
you're the same single mom who was boasting about taking your kids on a conscious trip to AFRICA
and you don't know what ADOS means???
good gracious they should have never let your dysfunctional single mother azz become a parent![]()
what the hell are u talking about man??
Dapper dan been fighting cease and desit letters and lawsuits from the house of GUCCI since his prime time years doing business in HARLEM during the 80s
if anything Dan like most "bootleggers" has always sought VALIDATION from these europeans....
and eventually got it when STEVE STOUTE'S company "translation inc." created the marriage between these two in that deal last year...

the whole intent of Stoute's company is assimilate urban culture into the european dominated corporate and mainstream culture
so in the end WE AS BLACK FOLKS SHOULD BE MAD AT OURSELVES THINKING GUCCI IS REALLY OUR "FRIENDS" instead of realizing IT'S BUSINESS AS USUAL..and just because someone makes MONEY OFF YOU or WITH YOU don't mean they LIKE YOU
that's our problem WE AS BLACK FOLKS WANT EVERYBODY TO BE OUR FRIEND...but we ain't even FRIENDS WITH OURSELVES
we rather BE CONSUMERS seeking validation from those THAT DON'T LIKE US...instead of bossing up in our own world and empowering our own
we need more CREATORS and LESS CONSUMERS...
and our BLACK CELEBRITIES are poisoning us with this mentality...
no different than OPRAH when she raised hell cause HERMES treated her with her" racial disrespect"
im like KHALID MUHAMMAD of the NOI once said...
"black people are retarded.....how the hell you gonna get ANGRY cause your OPRESSOR don't want you in his establishment???....WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THAT SAME PASSION TOWARDS CREATING YOUR OWN ESTABLIHSMENT?
THIS THREAD MAKES NO DAMN SENSE...
OP ...GUCCI LAST YEAR SIGNED a joint venture with HARLEM'S OWN DAPPER DAN..the BLACK DESIGNER known for his urban spinoff's of the GUCCI BRAND
Gucci and Dapper Dan Are Officially in Business
lmao yes they wererapper were not shouting out gucci in the 90s
Of course its publicity. These brands dont want to be associated with 'lower class' people like rappers or athletes. It's a chance to turn away black people while getting free publicity and advertising from the mainstream media. There isnt really such a thing as genuine controversy when it is coming from a private company. It is literally just another form of marketing.
If you still rock Gucci in 2019, you're free to be doing so but you'll have to be okay with the fact that people may look at you as a sellout or a whole clown.
They signed him so he can make shyt for nikkaz and they want nikkaz to leave the other shyt alone lmao
Nah that ain't the case. gucci wants the coolest group in America to sport they shyt. That's why they issuing out all kinds of apologies back to back and even getting out free gucci to black people. The owner went to Harlem with dapper Dan to apologize to the black community. They begging for us to fck with them and forgive them but the black community aint fcking with gucci no mo periodt. They dead in the black community. The black community only fcking with black owned brands now thanks to gucci and Floyd and Kodak. Fck gucci
Breh i was rocking wit you until this shyt. Come on sonADOS is a term invented to replace the term African American,because black people don't want to claim Africa anymore,and would prefer to claim our history as told by the white man![]()
