travel the world? ninja prolly couldn't find his way out his room, let alone the heights.

women make brands what they are, a real dude could care less what brand jeans he got on or car he drives but the coochie is a powerful thing, as far as statusand everything, thats something insecure ppl make up to make themselves seem more important than they are, not to make this a racial thing, but whites prettymuch established quality brands and minorities follow suit as well to show they can "keep up with the white folk" honestly half the crap we buy iscuz rappers endorse them who saw one of their accountants push that same whip last week kinda nonsense. Go ask Gucci Mane what a Patek Phillip or Tumi and hewould give you the same ignorant look he got in all his videos.
