Yooo, Kanye on Sway in the Morning. (updated)

[ksteezy]

How can it have "a lot more to do with Ye" (there's that pet name again) when it's all been done before Kanye?

Ya nitpick about everything

Now you calling me out because I rather type out Ye than Kanye....lulz

did any of you guys actually listen? he clearly explained why he cant just make a louis vuitton, he doesnt have the resources because he has new money. Read great gatsby and not the jay-z movie and then you will probably understand his problem.

how does one see brilliance in someones work who they just stated was ignorant. Ignorance and brilliance don't go hand in hand to me but you know my reading comprehension is off

Wait...just because I think someone is ignorant it means I can't find what they do/did, brilliant? Well, one thing is for sure....I'll never confuse you in that category.

Steezy man you are riding hard for Yeezy who cares what the Yeezy 2 is worth they are made in extremely limited quantities

Did you actually drop $1400 for a pair of Yeezys?

You riding hard against the man, wishing his family breaks down and such, how do you explain that?....

What's worst?

no one can just make a louis vuitton, not even louis vuitton just made a louis vuitton

i believe the phrase i am looking for is "hard work"

most Yeezy 2's were bought to resell to his stans for 10X's the price because no other kicks went with their matching pleather pants and mini skirt

Negative. Music is just a form of ENTERTAINMENT, something that you can either relate to or have fun with. The minute you start thinking anything else (like the crap you just said) you began to move towards idolization. And that sir, is NOT what music is about.

music is an artform bruh.
entertainment is entertainment, and MAY INVOLVE music. but music ≠ entertainment.

Bro so are you telling me that if Nike decided to partner up with Rick Ross right now and use the same release format they did with the Yeezy's that people are going to be lined up a week before release date?

Nobody is saying that he's solely responsible but to say that his name doesn't have anything to do with the popularity of the shoe is ridiculous.

I said a while back that that little pet name people use for Kanye usually comes with a void opinion.

I didn't realize the 3 extra letters were that much of an inconvenience. You seem to have no problem typing otherwise

Wait.....did his LV shoes create the same buzz as the Nike ones? I know the LV shoes were insanely expensive but I just don't think they were anything near the same hype as his Nike shoe. I do believe there is a difference in owning a Nike Kanye shoe and an LV one and that has to do with Nike more so than Kanye. That is just my opinion though. Like Kanye's APC thing.....I don't feel that was a huge deal, unless someone can prove me wrong.

Kanye needs to drop everything in his life for an extended period of time and go back to Chicago and just sit on the porch with a pen and pad and look around.

Kanye West is not going to change the structure and the hierarchy of corporations. That does not change overnight, and it will not change with some musical artist. That can change thru time and most importantly, education - not his ego.

Yeezys would not sell if they weren't made by Nike on Kanyes name alone. Ask reebok and those S Dots/JAYZs, now those AF1s rocafella is grail status. Think about it.

answering a question with a question

I don't wish anything; it's inevitable which I said many moons ago in this thread

Hollywood couples are temporary: FACT

See here's the thing....and I know you don't like "specifics".

You can say whatever you want about what may/may not happen if Nike does a sneaker with Ross.

But again, I've seen riots for an unpopular model designed by a grafitti artist. That actually happened.

How can you explain such a thing if the personality is supposedly the driver moreso than the sneaker itself or the MARKETING (supply/demand/availability/potential for resale etc.) behind it?

You can't.

Ignorant - lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.

Brilliant - extremely intelligent : much more intelligent than most people

These words are literally opposites of each other......... another one into the NT logic box

Also has a lot to do with how few are available.

even the $200 limited boutique Ice Cream's sat after their first production run which were made by Reebok

Like dudes said earlier in this thread, y'all dwill go to the end of the earth to defend Ye. He's not saying anything deep, he doesn't have inside knowledge that we don't have about life, and being a slave to consumerism. For all his talk about black culture, he spends more time in Europe, than in the hoods of Chicago....Where he's not even from. Y'all should read up on Jabari Parker 's Dad, A guy with success, that's true to his community. Not just talking about it.. Being about it.

This is the same man that said you can't take advice from someone that's older than you, or doesn't have money. Let's see y'all twist and defend that as him being a revolutionary, deep and blah blah blah. Him coming at sway sideways like that showed what kinda dude he is. "can't tell him nothing" for real.

His LV collab sold out months before they even release and still sell at 3x above the already ridiculous retail price

You can't.

Maybe i'm understanding this wrong but if it's an initially unpopular model and suddenly an graffiti designs it and it's worth and value goes up i would assume the personality is the catalyst behind this rather then the shoe company itself, considering the company has had the sneakers in rotation much longer and they were unpopular.
