So many of us were saying this from the hop!

but NOOOO Kanye was in love with white folks approval and wanted badly to be in bed with them.

He learned the hard way.

Crazy too, because he came up with Rocafella when they at the height of pushing their own clothing and every other rapper at the time had their own shyt.
that era came and went, and nowadays rappers give euro clothing brands free marketing, hoping for an endorsement deal with them. instead of running their own fashion label.

Not buying this

Tell me exactly why Kanye could not have did what Virgil did with Pyrex Vision and OFF/WHITE?

He had much more resources than Virgil, and Virgil built HIMSELF up to the point LV was knocking on his door.

there are benefits to signing with a Major brand but Kanye didn't NEED Adidas or Gap.

RIP Virgil

However, oddly enough just like Yeezy Off White WAS built off an existing mega brand: customizing Nike and Jordan’s. There is no off white as we know it without those Nike/Jordan silhouettes

A more applicable comparison would be brands that are 100% indie, and those come with a grind and day to day involvement that doesn’t even make sense for a Kanye west. Also …why are we comparing a superior brand to a lesser one? Just it’s ‘owned’. That’s that Dame shyt.

Also, keep in mind that as far as I know Kanye is NOT complaining about being financially shorted. This is about some other shyt. If the money ain’t off what exactly was the benefit of doing this 100% indie??

Are you stupid? :dahell:

Do you think Pyrex, and especially OFF WHITE weren't extremely heavily funded? LVMH has owned 60% of off white for years dummy.

That's how you make it big in the fashion world. No one reaches those independently. N O O N E.
