Damn, they're killing Jay-Z for his FUBU shout out

[Ineedmoney504]

and for the third time in this thread, he's the reason the hood even needs to be told this, he's mr fendi, prada, gucci himself.

people are simply pointing out the irony of him of all people saying this.

Well if you know this why you keep saying “endorsing them” you idiot he’s saying buy black. Not buy fubu. Along with jay promoting euro brands he also owned his on clothing line, record label, movie company, Champaign after being turned down for endorsements deals from ice breg, christal ect.

fukk I look like drinking some belvedere when puff got Ciroc

Jay has been on his pro black 5% spiritual wave since American gangsta. He went thru a transition and been the same since. Create your own and support your own. Don’t mean he can’t wear some high brands also. But he’s been pushing ownership and supporting black

FUBU was always considered corny in NYC. Im not surprised a lot of you corny fukks in here are trying to big it up just to try and shyt on jay z

Jay z and dame dash owned rocawear so it was........ black owned plus way doper than fubu!! Motherfukkers would get clowned on for rocking fubu in harlem!! Till this day!!

The hate for hov is unbelievable, people really hate the fact hes in the position hes in. Crab in a barrel mentality

 

[NatiboyB]

So they just said fukk rock a wear and S Carter collection and the fact that Jay shouted out fubu just so they could shyt on him?

it ain’t no pleasing people

Jay has always been somebody who studies youth culture and applies it to his rhymes: "I'm planking on a million"

I don't see this as any different. He's got a business to run right?

i know this board is young it must be. everyone knows rocawear was about Dame its even on record Jay wouldnt touch rocawear thought it was corny till it started making money with the victoria beckham and naomi cambell campaigns.

when jay snaked dame and got rocawear it tanked straight away.

No it didn't. Rokawear was doing 700 billion in revenue when Jay z sold it.
Why say stuff when a simple 10 second google search can prove you wrong.
We're all on the same internet, use it....

 

[skokiaan]

I think the Jay-Z hate on and off here is unwarranted but on this one Jay-Z is going to have to sit this conversation out as he was among the leaders of that whole Euro fashion movement.

maybe you the one who was slow to realise who he really is

 

[LV Koopa]

One thing you quickly realize is that these "movements", "activists", "sign my petition" people rarely even support the stuff they complain about. They just using Twitter/FB to bytch and moan about some outrage.

Who honestly gives a fukk what Jay Z says about FUBU? Like how you let that ruin your day? You gotta be a wild loser

 

[Big Boss]

I thought Hov rocks Tom Ford

 

[Uptown WaYo87]

also let's not forget the state property brand, they had the dopest fall/winter gear for a couple years in the mid 2000s

No it didn't. Rokawear was doing 700 billion in revenue when Jay z sold it.

sure, but you are full of shyt. 700 billion not even million. you dumb fukk.

and your search should include it didnt sell for that much, he got it compensated with the dame split deal. theres a xxl article on it, but you are probably a teen fukk boy.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Why would Jay have plugged Fubu when at the same time he had Rocawear competing with the same segment. That’s like Coke telling people to buy Pepsi. He don’t have a clothing line anymore so I don’t see a problem with shouting them out now.

 

[tuckgod]

So has the right to grow up and change one's mind been eliminated in this cancel era?

When you knowingly benefit off the ignorance of your people to get rich, little messages of upliftment from time to time after the fact don’t hold the same weight.

Worse part about him in particular is he was damn near 30 when he came in the game, unlike his contemporaries who were 18-21.

He purposely fed nothing but poison to the community just to put a dollar in his pocket.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

people are telling their age.

rocawear was never in competition with fubu, fubu was way played out by then. it was sean john and baby phat and most of them tanked in the new era.

dame ran and worked rocawear and armdale vodka that was the uproar when they made the snake deal thanks to lyor for his solo- def jam presidency.

the magazine cover of xxl with lebron, kanye and foxy tells you this. crying over a piece of shyt like jay, clearly teen fan boys.
