[Konnan]

[CashmereThoughts]

[LezJepzin]

I remember that rumors. Matter of fact, Tommy Snoop Doggy Dogg for wearing his clothes and they actullay met each other and Snoop told him he loves his clothes.

Grand Puba said Tommy himself used to come to his video shoots with a trunk full of clothes

That's possibly the best hip hop interview ever recorded

RIP PIMP C

Arriba la raza

That shyt was a huge rumor. (No Internet)

I'm surprise that he never came out to say it wasn't true is what most crazy about it.

 

[Wacky D]

I don't understand how that rumor spread with virtually no internet

internet was big already.

thats not how the rumor really spread tho.

Cuz pimp c told me so.

Hilfiger was done in the black community years before that pimp c line.

i dont know why its held in high-regard on this board.

Actually, Tommy Hilfiger did come out and say it was NOT TRUE. He went on Oprah for real in 2007 to prove he never said those things. He is NOT racist, that was just an old rumor. There are sites to read up on it..Like these (Oprah site and the ADL) ..........................

i don't know if this was just a Houston thing, but back in the 90's, we would ride around with this airfreshner on the dashboard of our cars:

then people started saying that the KKK made those crowns and we promptly that crown out of the window...

It does not matter whether he is racist or not, blacks will still buy his stuff.

I'm talking about why didn't he come out in the 90's when rumor was in full stream breh. Nobody cared by the time he went on Oprah in 2007 breh.

I don't see anyone wearing Tommy now of days.

I remember black people stop wearing Tommy wearing Tommy by the masses when this rumor came out in the late 90's.

Stop with the idiotic generalization.

Tommy Hilfiger was one of the first and most active investor in the Martin Luther King Memorial.... People are sheep...and refuse to research.

And Donald Sterling donated to the NAACP. So, what's your point?

John Rockefeller and other crooked whites have donated to black organization for public image.

Not saying Tommy is racist, but your point is weak.
