JAY Z : "Why do we get so upset when we, as a culture, want to start our own shyt?"

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

People really think others is buying shoes past $200.

Plenty of people buy shoes more expensive than that

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

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

Precisely....there's cats in this very thread doing that exact thing....

I don't know if they don't realize it or what

NOW WATCH EVERY nikka SAY THEY fukk WITH LAVAR BALL AND THE MOVEMENT WHEN BEFORE JAYZ SPOKE NOTHING BUT OTHER nikkaS SAYING fukk LAVAR AND LONZO ALL MY HOMIES WAS CURVING THAT shyt WATCH THEM PAY HOMAGE NOW CAUSE JAYZ STAMPED IT...THATS HOW bytch nikkaS ARE NOW A DAYS

Facts

Kinda hard to compare a pair of kicks to a phone though, something that whether we like it or not has become a major part of our lives. I mean they are even 2-3, or even 4 times more expensive than most Jordans. And dude hasn't even played in one NBA game yet. I think the biggest problem people have with Lavar though is his attitude. But yeah, it should be illegal just to hate on him because he wants to start his own company.

Buy knock off Kobes w/ inferior technology for 2-3 times the price brehs.

As far as the price point, all popular athletes first sig shoes were at low price points and slowly increased(@or around $145 at least).

Kanye got cacs & hype beast to buy his shoes. Somehow it's a problem Lavar is charging so much now.

Them days of Basketball shoes selling off performance is looking bleak.

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

I definitely feel Jay and fukks with Var, but BBB is a horrible example because it's actually detrimental to the black community.

Can't be ouchea charging po black folks $500 for kicks knowing damn well we'll make sacrifices to cop.

Just don't think the 2 go together. Big ups to Var but Jay shoulda dedicated that speech to Starbury.

Support black business but don't go broke doing it.

Maybe he was talking to "his class".

You mean the same 'po folks' that spend more than $500 on yeezys....gucci shoes...red bottoms?

Cmon breh....we spend on what we want to spend it on

 

[Barnett114]

What is it when a white man sells it to u for the same price?

Y'all nikkas love bringing up white people in every conversation

The nikka is married to a white woman, she getting half of it

Like those other brands you named, BBB is potentially bad for our community for the same reason. Opportunity for foolish spending.

Furthermore, let's be real, like I said in my other post I fukks with Var but this nikka ain't no freedom fighter. He's married to a cac and looking out for him and his. Then he's gonna go spend with cacs his damn self so in reality this money is all going back to whitey eventually.

So props to him for getting his but let's not act like coppin some Zo 2's makes one a revolutionary. There's black businesses and there's businesses owned by black people. I think Lavar Ball just happens to be black.

Lavar's biggest asset to the community is hopefully empowering young athletes and entrepreneurs. But when it comes to supporting black business, we need to support black businesses that support black businesses as well. That's how the money STAYS in the community.

That has nothing to do with my point. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If lavar ball is "wrong " for the price tag on his sneakers then so r all these other high fashion companies. Hate on all of them if u feel that strongly about it. No need to give the selective outrage to a black man

 

[CapitalforCapital]

I HONESTLY CANT TELL IF HE IS GENUINE OR NOT. BUT I DOUBT HE OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER EVEN CARES WTF I THINK ANYWAY LMFAO.

[number21]

I hope for the best for Lavar and his kids but I'm not buying $400 dollar shoes.

Ye was begging white people for money and fashion acceptence from the very beginning. He wasnt saying shyt.

Ye was looking for a handout wit cacs. Instead they shytted on him. He instead of starting his own shyt went to the next major brand. They gave him a better deal, but he didn't create his own shyt

Being pro black is popular now so jayz is using it to sell products.
