Black People Are Too Obsessed With Brands

[Dwight Howard]

The richest muthafukkas in the room be the ones rocking basic, no-logo shyt. Granted some of the shyt might be expensive it doesnt scream HEY LOOK AT ME IM WEARING A $200 VERSACE SHIRT. shyt I know a guy that drives a Bentley that just throws on a $35 Polo t-shirt on most occasions. I think once you reach a certain level of success that need to express yourself through brand names diminishes. Those who are successful mainly express themselves through cars, watches, property, etc. shyt that actually reveals social status. My nikkas, stressing your bank account to buy a designer belt or Versace shirt isnt the move. It screams new wanna be money. It screams insecurity. You can be the flyest muthafukka in the room with no brand names. thats all. end rant.

white people are brand loyalists too

Whites wear name brand just because you never heard of it don't mean it's not name brand.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Everyone is obsessed with brands to some degree. I'll buy something from a reputable brand in terms of quality but I won't buy from a certain bran for the sake of showing off. In fact, I think that some of the highest quality brand-name stuff I own are things that I bought for a great deal on eBay and don't show any kind of labels at all.

white ppl do the same shyt

who do you think the designer shyt is marketed to?

its def not hood nikkas

some people are just into fashion

every person has a niche

i do spend more than i should on clothes

my closet is wild. but its what i enjoy

designer shyt is poppin to me

 

[AAKing23]

Yes because white people don't buy namebrand shyt

 

[DemureNatural]

I understand where you're coming from; we live in a culture of followers, who claim individualism. Personally, I don't really wear name brands, and I always look good. In general, I limit the amount of money I spend on clothing. I could never date a name whore, smacks of insecurity.

White females are the biggest label-whores/fashion victims on the planet(followed by Asian women). Do you think the fashion industry generates 250 billion dollars a year because of trendy young black folks? Do you really?

Lol @ people bringing up white people to deflect from the truth stated by op.

They don't stick to the topic round these parts!

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

i think the point T/S is trying to make is that black people tend buy brand name shyt when they clearly cant afford it....having 20 pairs of Js and living in the projects or a versace belt and your phone is cut off is not a good look...

also i know that some whites do this too...but i see this everyday with black people...its sad...

Who's truth? Sounds like a generalization to me
