Seriously. I had no idea who Daymond John was at first
LL Cool J promoting FUBU during a GAP commercial, might be the greatest branding coup.

- Start date
DONT GIVE HIM THAT COP OUT.
HES A BUCK WHO DOESNT SEE COLOR
NOW THAT HES MADE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE.
Thank You
Did I ever say that Urban brands had long shelf lives? You didn't even argue my point you just wrote about the longevity of relevancy in urban apparel. And how does said urban apparel become irrelevant? By the public not fukkin with it anymore
U trying to mix the 2....Aint no mixing the 2. Urban gear always has a short shelf life. Thats not the same as the public one decade bigging up Old Navy and The Gap(the 90's) and then looking sideways at Old Navy and The Gap the next decade(the 2000's). What u are talking about is not the same as.....Tight pants cool in 80's NYC....Tight pants not cool in 90's nyc .....Tight pants cool again in mid 2000's NYC.

I was really working overtime for that 
.So I understand Buck Minister John, she's FUBU pawg-able.
Back on thread topic that was a coup by LL. I know Gap Execs were furious when they found out.
nikkas will do anything for money.

hold up though...
didn't DAYMOND JOHN scam a fellow COLI poster out of $1,000 a few years ago? He was charging dudes for business consultation phone calls or lunches or some shyt and a poster on here went and said he basically got blown off
Anyone remember that thread?

It's literally the same thing. Something is popular for a time period then stops being popular. But who decides that popularity? the people that buy it. who buys it? The public. What is relevancy in terms of selling clothes? the number of people who want your product
the public determines relevancy breh
If people wanted FUBU for ten years then it'll be relevant for 10 years
supply vs demand
This whole categorisation stuff you talkin bout does not matter look at it more abstractly
nikka worth $250million and can't own up to what his company originally was for because it's pro-black
Just sad really
Just sad really
And if you want your business to stay alive you have to do things to stay relevant

Mad movements!
Bullshyt. Black people decide what's hot and for how long it stays hot. Gucci, Versace, Dolce, Prada(etc) rehashes and remixes their designs throughout the decades whenever they feel like sifting through their archives. Black people throw money at these Euro brands for the sake of their name. We decide the shelf life of apparel.
Cabbage Patch
The Media scene in V is for Vendetta is the clue
We had and have design houses. Who decides whether nikkas are influential this month?
Man i miss that LL...before he jumped on Brad Paisley records with lyrics like:
If you don't judge my gold chains
I'll forget those iron chains
If you don't judge my gold chains
I'll forget those iron chains

they didnt own Fubu
U cant mix the 2......If u could how come u never answered my question? If u say the public coulda made fubu relevant for 10 years then which urban brand lasted 10 years? I'm still waiting for u to answer. U cant because they dont exist. Urban brands dont last 10 years...U saying Fubu coulda lasted 10...well show me which urban brand went 10 years. I'm still waiting. If u cant name one then I proved my point. Urban brands dont last, thats why Sean John had to go "casual" to stay relevant.
