Dear Jay-Z: I’m 14 & Won’t Be Caught Dead In Your $695 Ski-Mask

Hmm. I see we're still playing "angry negro" because we don't want to face the real issue at hand.
These companies/brands don't want you black folks business. So you can play dumb and cry about Jay-Z all you want. You're not gonna buy Jay-Zs mask but you'll still go to barneys (that booting your black asses out their store) to buy Louis Vuitton and other brands. LOL @ nikkas trynna scapegoat the issue threw Jay-Zand at this point Jay-Z is just trolling you nikkas cause he see's the idiocy in it.
But I definately wouldn't expect a black feminist (which is who wrote that fake ass letter) that writes for complex to see that.
That's what it's about. I think Jay was just trying to create a brand that's on the level of all the Gucci, SLV , etc.... I don't see a reason why he shouldn't aim higher. This wouldn't be that big of a deal if the incident in NYC didn't happen. I would never shop at Barneys, but I can't knock J for trying to break into that realm.
Also, we can't forget about Puff. He makes some good affordable suits. He's trying to compete with the Jos A Banks of the world.

Jay just chose to play in a different arena.
Good choice... Feel good about not buying a product that wasn't even marketed toward you anyways, brehs
I'd be more impressed if he said he was never buying another pair of lebrons, foams , etc

I wouldn't consider him a c00n, but I agree with what your'e saying. I honestly can't think of a situation where wearing a cashmere mask would be appropriate

i actually came into this thread to ask whats the point of buying one in the 1st placeI wouldn't consider him a c00n, but I agree with what your'e saying. I honestly can't think of a situation where wearing a cashmere mask would be appropriate
You're asking for the point of buying a ski mask?i actually came into this thread to ask whats the point of buying one in the 1st place
No, there is hate towards these cac behind this..... and behind most of the CAC BS in hiphop...
But that doesn't excuse an influential black dude getting his taste of house negro cac acceptance and being willing to do any number of strange things to help confirm his CAC acceptance. You didn't miss out on the other 684 statements and c00n actions that gay z has done over the last few years have you breahah?
NTM you missed the point of the letter that the lady wrote in the OP ...
Obvious reason is to rock it when you go skiing. But I'd never consider Barkleys a spot to shop for ski equipment. Nor would I look at J for that type of recommendation. Maybe I'm missing something

yes. what would be the point of an average person buying a ski mask that costs over $10 let alone $700
Jay know Rich people that ski that would buy it because $695 to them aint shyt. Puffy and all them...$695 ain't shyt to them. Athletes and a lot of them are black. C'mon. He's not marketing it to 14 year old nikkas in the hood...that's why it's in Barney's. No one expects a 14 year old to shop in Barneys; middle class or project nikkas either. And I say nikkas because only a nikka would buy a $695 ski mask when they don't even fukking ski.Obvious reason is to rock it when you go skiing.

Jay chose wrong... They all have to do a lil selling out... that's understandable... He chose c00n and wasn't ashamed in doing so.
AND I'm not gonna front... I have all these brands, gucci, tru before it was really popular and seems like a bytchnikka brand, etc. I used to live at sacs and barneys all these places.. But naw, as you get older and more knowledgeable about things, you really have to let this shyt go unless ur striving to be an all star c00n like this camel faced fakkit jay. .

He's not targeting his product to the average person. Doesn't mean he sold out. He knows wealthy black people...he's married to one.
