bought three pairs hasn't received yet. That's not cool
nobody gets any till November
Its like people are wilfully stupid or just look for excuses to justify their c00nery...
no one is saying you should pay $500 dollars for a pair of sneakers...
but the point Hov is making is dudes will pay $500 for a pare of red bottom sneakers or some ugly looking Giuseppe sneakers .... no one sees an issue
Black man does the same thing and suddenly its a problem....
You are either going to pay $500 for some shoes are you arent, but if you aint criticising the white man for putting that price tag on them then why are you criticising your own?
and what makes it even worse is that those brands blew up on the back of the African American community....
shyt is backwards
the thing is most people isn't willing to pay 500 for red bottoms either. Its so many fake being worn for less than 100. I don't just walk around seeing people rock red bottoms a lot fam. I almost never see anybody wearing them. The percentage of people who have them are so small.
The other point when black people see somebody who they can gravitate to and then that person out prices them they gonna be disappointed. They gonna feel alienated and shytted on. My thing has always been who gives a fukk tho, cause some shyt just won't be made for u.
It's not even about Lavar Ball for me it's about how this nikka might change the status quo and path incoming athletes would indefinitely take as it relates to their likeness. Stephon Marbury got shytted on for doing it and Shaq got clowned for years for doing both of them are ahead of their times. If Lavar can pick where these other men failed in terms of ownership more power to him. Respect to what he's indirectly doing, fukk making these cacs billions and having no real stake in your name or cut when that bread getting divvied up. Michael Jordan and "his" sneakers should not be the model anymore.
a major part of this is u gotta make your shoes look good fam. Cause I can cop some 50 dollar vans that look fire and u can show me some 40 dollars Shaqs or Marbury and if them shyts terrible they not gonna be brought
Didn't he throw Dame to the side, hire an all white staff for his streaming service, sell his clothing company, rap about bling and excessive wealth for the past 22 years man idgaf but he does have a point
I feel like Dame said the same thing but more obnoxiously
Dame threw hisself in the bushes. Act like 2 grown men has to be joined at the hip for ever. Dame has fallen out wit every business partner he's had. (Currency, beans, Jim jones, cam, his wife)
The company he brought is in Norway. They don't have many black people there fam, he brought the company and left the people who where working there already stay working there. Imagine him buying the company and firing all the associates that working there
your company would be destroyed before it ever was to start
Hip hop clothing was dead, why not move off roc a wear and sell a dead brand for 100 mill and keeping a bunch of shares in it in case it does blow. U dudes are horrible forward thinkers
Anyway dame is that nikka tho. That breakfast club interview was great, he just came off as way to uppity
