So all the proceeds from the line going to poor inner city kids to pay for college is not supporting us? :patrice:

:heh:

Hell no it isn't.

Those proceeds going to the same kids who'd get harrassed in Barney's just off the strength of them looking like poor inner city kids. That's called damage control....cause there was no initial intention of doing that shyt.

Why not pull a Starbury or Fat Joe, and make some affordable shyt... those poor kids could buy with their own money?

Hell... why not buy up some franchise fast food chains, and give those kids jobs..so they can pay for their own schooling.

He could've done like Trae, host an event where people can get tested for everything from diabetes to STD's, kids can get free school supplies etc.

Nobody is telling that nikka how to spend his money, but c'mon...

So Jay Z should've made it so inner city kids could afford some clothes rather than having a clothing line that supports the education of inner city youth? :what:

Do u know how dumb you sound nikka?

The foundation financially supporting these kids' education is in fact supporting us

tweets were clearly from his pr team, not him...but, it speaks to the point that they say theyre in it for the long haul. nothing was gonna be perfect. the interesting thing now will be to see if they learn from their mistake or double down.

spotify and pandora have greater market share, larger catalogs and apple/beats is creepin on a june come up. they need to figure out some way to add a free feature because the longer they pretend like folks are gonna shell over $10-$20 for something they can get elsewhere w/ other options, theyre shooting themselves in the foot.

theyre tryna sell this as premium-couture music. not the right model/platform for that, holmes

Be "supported" with money from companies with policies that discriminate against you breh

The shyt aint no different than Donald Sterling shelling out all those dollars to the NAACP in LA, despite being sued for housing discrimination.

Somewhere in this equation, you missed not buying shyt out of Barneys.... like that aint an option.

All that shyt can be purchased elsewhere...Barneys is not the only place to by luxyry designer items.

Remember when Jay boycotted Cristal? and why he did?

cause I do, and plenty of people did...and that's why he was under fire for it.


Like i said, this Jay/Barneys situation is no different than Sterling and the NAACP
