Hes not changing nothing if hes not doing it independent, Hes just following the same business protocol but getting mad because they wont take him srs
Because your name is kanye west you cant grind your way to the top like you did with music, your music resume has nothing to do with fashion
Dame dash baby moms is winning independently, everything takes time, kanye wants instant gratification because he knows his stans will eat it up
The fashion industry is looking at him like a clown because he has no resume when it comes to that industry, yeah hes gonna make rl,gucci etc a couple dollars but they know hes gonna leave them and take his stans with him
That's like saying grind your way to the top in music.... but you can't get no studio time, you can't get no beats, and we ain't gonna sign your ***.
The same way Dame gave him the opportunity, and he grinded that to becoming one of the biggest rappers ever....... is the same push that he's looking for from fashion, this isn't about starting at the top because he's not asking for anything that people with the same or less credentials have gotten from these companies.
There is ONE black male who is at the head of his company in all of high end design ONE. he also happens to be homosexual, & isn't on the same tier material/design wise as his counterparts.
Yes compare a black man in America..... to a White woman in America because we know they get the same treatment from white men
BTW this resume that you claim he doesn't have..... he's helped design (not put his name on a product) with LV, A.P.C, Nike...... literally interned and sat with the major fashion houses in Paris for YEARS learning and producing with the best they have to offer, yet up until the Adidas deal he had no backing.
Now that he has the resources at his disposal, he has his opportunity to drop his college dropout in fashion... & if that happens he's going to **** the fashion game up the same way he did with rap, & by **** up i mean open the door for young people who don't carry the same prejudice & who are open the new ideals & ways of doing things.
That is the exact opposite of what any of these guys in power want. When you want all the power you don't wanna help anyone in a lesser situation create something new or better which may diminish your own power.
Hell this is basically VERBATIM what Cole was talking about in the interview that everyone was praising in this thread. One of Cole's biggest critiques in the interview was people at the top doing everything to make money and stopping creative people from improving on the world because it wouldn't be good for profit. That is literally what Kanye is fighting for, yet ya'll praise Cole for saying it & hate Ye for saying it?
The jigs up if you don't like his attitude, his music, etc etc fine that's no problem, but don't sit here and try to diminish the message of a man in a very powerful position, who's pushing for people to create to the best of their abilities to simply make things better. That's just corny.
