He obviously doesnt have the money to do what he wants to do,
Which is why I posted that Killer Mike quote from Run The Jewels and all his "I'm A God" talk is met with cynicism and chuckles from the elite...

Bottomline if he really wants to meet his ambitious goals he needs to stop crying and get his weight up...It's possible, but he's obviously going about things the wrong way..

Self- believe and confident is not narcissistic ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE PROVEN YOURSELF RIGHT WITH EVERY CLAIM YOU HAVE MADE. KANYE HAS ALWAYS BACKED HIS WORDS UP.
thats a lot different than believing that you are the best that history has ever produced. history is pretty vast

its cool to have confidence but to not understand that other people dont like you as much as you do is problematic

Hood by Air is not high fashion. It's streetwear. I've met Shayne multiple times and many of the kids I went to school with work with him in some capacity. Kanye and Virgil gave their support to Hood By Air, along with ASAP, and it's popping but it's a slightly more expensive Supreme or in the same vein as Undercover or Number Nine.

shyt Been Trill is basically an umbrella company for Kanye thats on par with Hood by Air
hood by air is no where NEAR THE SAME VAIN AS UNDERCOVER OR NUMBER 9. are you kidding me? takashi & miyashyta have been in the game for over 2 decades and truly gave streetwear a platform to be in the popular state it is in now. we are talking about pioneers breh. shayne is using cool fabrics, but the implementation of textures is no way near the same skill or vision as those two. shayne has a cool idea of a dystopian future of hoodness, but it needs focus, which comes with years of practice. Jun has perfected clothes for the gloomy dystopian future. miya was so fukking goth and in a dark place, he had to quit #9, and do the soloist, which comes from a brighter and happier place

Hood by air is on some trend shyt right now and getting money while there is a lane to do so. I respect what oliver does with HBA but they are really squeezing as much doe out of the hype they are getting at the moment and loosing that Grimy and Raw futuristic hood street rat vibe that gave them an audience. And to compare HBA to streetwear pioneers and contemporary fashion visionarys such as jun an miya? stop it.

And dont get me started on that POS "been trill" :camby:

How much does it cost to produce a sneaker? What were the cost in 1964 and the cost in 2013? I bet they aren't proportional and cost significantly more to start a competitive shoe brand in today's world.

Kanye has enough money to do whatever he wants to do. If he's tired of being treated a certain way, he can start his own brand. Fortune 500 companies have been started with a couple thousand dollars. Facebook got off the ground with 20 grand. The fact that you're arguing about this is crazy.

I agree. Another poster brought up Hood By Air and asked why Kanye doesn't support Shayne. I was providing the contrary even though my opinions tend to be more similar to yours.

Tech startups are the only ventures in todays world that can crack the Fortune 500 because the means to create are readily accessible and cheap. Find examples outside of Tech in the current era.

He didn''t say in History. Shyt he clearly reveres Steve Jobs and considers him the greatest thing ever.
