Black People Are Too Obsessed With Brands

[The Nigerian]

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.

We need to stop parroting this bullshyt that poo-poos on Black money.

As if we should be out here in rags or some shyt. Get the fukk outta here.

I went to an all black school in Detroit. I don't know how much has changed but back when I was in high school, I would get clowned if I didn't wear name brands like Guess, Versace, or designer shoes. It didn't bother me much since I was used to it but it did get to other people. I remember a girl in my class that ran away from home because her mom wouldn't buy her some Guess jeans. She refused to go to school in no name jeans and risk being clowned. I have cousins in Mobile and they went to a mixed school. They would wear wranglers jeans from Target and nobody would care.

So much real life .

lol at this shyt. What kind of argument is this


I'm going to rant about some shyt based on a generalization that has no factual backing at all.





Another lame in here blaming women for shyt.

I see I hit a nerve. Just man up, and things will get better.

So college nikkas in detroit can afford Versace?

nikka stop it. Detroit is one of the brokest cities in america.

Yall just tellin on yourself. with these clear agendas

This was back in the 90's in high school. Also, there are a lot of hood rich cats that sold dope and could actually afford to dress like that.

 

[Gotright]

maybe some people just love name brands.like the people who spend they money on drugs or cars or whatever you spend your money.like jay said "CAN THEY LIVE"

And even if there was a couple dope dealers. Having enough money to wear not wear versace clothing would never be clown status. Its still detroit. which means the other 97% who didnt sell drugs were coming to school in hand me down clothes and shyt

Zero disrespect; but, if you don't understand why, the-coli isn't the first place to have that discussion.

Those Keanu-Reeves-taped-up-sneakers-while-making-a-8-figure-salary-types don't come up around a lot of our people. But, the Bishop Don Juans do...
