You ever feel like they're scared if they dont have a cac cosigner they'll get taken down, like when suge n them thought they could manufacture records.

i bet there is a lot of cheap factory space in chicago, and a lot of room to build his own schools and universities, but we arent really trained to look at where we live as gold mines aside from it being source material to exploit for entertainment
it's highly possible, never really thought of it like that before. i know whites, jews and foreigners wont stand idly by and watch their bread and butter slip between their fingers. still, somebodies gotta make the effort.
Theres a quote by Farrakhan i think. Our rise is their fall. Black people empowering themselves in that way means some cac is losing money. And its not just black people. As much dough as the chinese have, they are just now opening their first auto plant in the US, THIS YEAR, in Cali but obviously, they have that cosign from Warren Buffett just to let the cacs know, hes one of our Boys. I say that to say, there just arent many non-white owned manufacturing plants in the US

Exactly.

Yeah.
It feels like history is repeating itself 
I remember reading about how Kanye would go to record labels and they would laugh at him in his face because he would jump on the table and yell "I'm gonna be the next Michael Jackson!".
Labels loved his work but thought he was out of his mind to want to invest in him so he would leave a lot of those meetings in tears.

This is true imo perhaps some of those black multimillionaires see him as a loose cannon and don't wanna be bother at this point. He also can use a mentor, maybe someone like Russell Simmons should take Ye under his wing and school him. Let him know that he'll probably receive a thousand no's before getting that one yes.

LOL
he addressed the "do it yourself" advice in this interview. i think he was alluding to the pricing advantages that people who control production have, and the personal investment risk that using your own money comes with (he lost a ton of cash already)
as far as getting other black millionaires to back him, he acts a fool, i wouldnt give him any money either
absolutely true, and if he couldn't get something working in detroit or chicago, then fukk, man. he'd have to reach back to africa and see whats possible over there. however, i dont think that's ever been kanyes aim. he wants to get some type of LV cosign like Jay-z got with barneys.

If black millionaires got together and tried to get some real manufacturing power in this country, the Obama administration (ran by kaks/k!kes) would find plenty of ways through federal regulations to ''justify'' shutting them down. There would be articles and news reports written in liberal media that would also have coli-koon-liberal-elite, saying things like, ''well if they just would have complied with the WTO's global standards, as it pertains to goat leather, none of this would be happening'' . . . I could see a douchbag like @Mephistopheles saying something along those lines. . .
My point is the current laws we have on the books can be used on any entity at any time to shut them down. Black folks united would feel the brunt of this, the hardest and swiftest if we were to collectivize and pool our resources.
The solution? Get into positions of power in government, and NEVER enforce ridiculous laws upon your own people in their endeavors. Easier said than done, I know.

They can get money, but when the unveiling of that business goes down there has to be a white man sitting next to all the negroes getting his Cut. Cacs are really on that King of New York shyt.

As for Kanye, I feel for him in the way that he is realizing his true position, and it's as another poster said. . . He's just a glorified consumer. He DESPERATELY wants to become the obscure LLC that signs the checks of folks in Hollywood and the music industry. He DESPERATELY wants to become the obscure LLC or CORP that ULTRA-RICH families hide behind as the largest shareholders of banks and insurance companies. . .
There's a strict ''no n!ggas'' policy in that life.
He also doesn't understand that the creative aspect of music is largely controlled as well. You think these people that control music want to have n!gga at the head that might actually allow a positive message to come from music?. . . Hell no. Sh!t even modern art was financed by the Rockefellers as a distraction to the highly charged and rebellious political art that was gaining influence. Now, art is considered some lady, knitting a scarf out of her menstruating vagina (it's on worldstarhiphop)

From "put your hands in the air" to "do y'all want Eric Schmidt to invest in Donda?!" What is wrong with this fool?
Somewhat buried in the article is the fact that it seems like Steve Stoute is really good at the kinda things Kanye wished he was good at. Y'all seen the tie ups Nas has been doing the last couple years
Steve Stoute and Chris Lighty (RIP) are super rare and necessary figures in the hip hop community. These rest of these "hustling" goofballs don't really understand the game of business.

i dont have a problem with steve stoute and chris lighty but what they are is just more efficient and eloquent version of rappers, their job is to sell/exploit urban culture, and the thing is the only way to sell it is by emphasizing the negative side
if black people started building factory and universities, the steve stoutes and chris lighties and kanye west would have nothing to offer, what they offer is 'coolness' and entertainment, as soon as they try to go beyond that they will be cockblocked hard
so nah steve stoute and chris lighty might be better talkers than kanye west but dont represent anything special
rap music and rap culture are dead ends for black people, kanye west and jay-z are beginning to realize this but they dont have the knowledge to create an infrastructure to compete with the white world (which to be fair is understandable), but like a lot of black people they are afraid to let go of what made them cool
lighty, stoute, jay z, kanye are creating a hip hop exploitation philosophy that has no room for a hiphop factory or a hip hop university, but the university and the factory is where real power is
