My favorite Kanye rant lines are when he just lists esteemed people.
I am the next Howard Hughes....WALT DISNEY!
STEVE JOBS
WARHOL
I'M TELLIN YA I AM GOOGLE!
IF I CAN'T BE THE NEXT DAVE THOMAS, I DON'T WANNA LIVE!! GOLDFISH HAVE SOULS,THEY FEEL. AND THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DON'T GET THOMAS WASN'T RACIST.
Josh Starks kanye wants to be an aviator now?
"This dude so busy running in stop signs and shit." I'M CRYING
On "Through the wire" Kanye called himself a "Grown ass kid" and ever since he released that im seeing it more and more through him. Kanye i feel is the most forward-thinking innovative artist in music today, but hes also the most childish in his demeanor. I just dont argue with kanye or watch his interviews anymore cause i feel he will provide something new for the people that we will enjoy once again. Im just gonna let Ye be Ye in the meantime
We live in a country that says" be ALL you can be" But they down someone for trying to be something...Unbelievable
The bottom line is the fashion industry is telling him that he CANT do something. Kanye has a passion for it and theyre holding him back from being great.Its similar to when labels didnt want to sign him as a rapper because he was a producer ( marginalizing him) until roc a fella gave him a shot and he went on to becoming one of the greatest ever....
The whole point is that it's his fault for choosing to be so wild and outspoken. They didn't want to sign him as a rapper because they thought he couldn't rap. So he proved them wrong right? In this case they don't want to "sign" him because he acts too irrational. So how does he need to do? Prove them wrong. But in this case his image has already been tarnished so you can't really compare it to his being a producer problem when he first started out.
What he needs to do is start at the bottom and create his own company. The off the strength of work if what he creates is good, get some money behind it and break into the industry. Apple started out of a small space in a small house. He needs to start small and make it great as well.
Ty McFLY "Cause the same people that tried to black ball me
Forgot about two things, my black balls"
THE YEEZYS JUMPED OVER THE JUMP MAN 🤣🔥
He didn't price those t-shirts at 100 bucks. He was not allowed to price them under his contract.
He signed a contract with a company to let him design, and give the production capabilities. He did his job. It was solely the company's right to price them, and Ye and had no power over that. What is your problem here? Explain why all of the worlds problems are because of Kanye. fucking sheep.
Why are you placing the blame on him though? He wanted to design, and he did. The pricing wasn't up to him. What is so hard to understand here?
I guess u think u have the answers right
***** That's Kanye's point..it's his brand, yet he still doesn't have that power
Komighty1
He didnt have to go with that company. Hanes makes t-shirts for $3 a pop.
We're living in an age where gatekeepers are becoming less and less necessary. I think that Kanye could benefit from taking the path of completely doing everything on his own, even if he's spending his own money. He'd be able to have total control, which seems to be what he wants anyway.
*****
lol
Dom's Sketch Cast You aint been doing the education!!
You guys just don't get it, Yeezys are a high fashion item, APC Kanye shirts were premium material at dirt cheap prices. Kanye lost 30 million actually, and it was from his KW line, he interned at Fendi, he's been doing rhe education. DEHH you lost
from sick geezer
Denzel Borteyy I DO NOT believe that he lost 30 mil on clothing. That is outlandish as fuck, to me, even 13 mil is out there as well. He lost money, i get that, but 30 mil? 30 mil is a lot of fucking money to lose on a clothing investment.
Attikus Durden
Obviously you dont know shit, high fashion is expensive as fuck. Especially doing it all on his own.
2021 & Feefo still right
Not true but okay lol
6:30 but in 2016 Kanye has made Adidas CRAZY money and more successful than ever
Welp
Damn Feefo was so on point.
Watching this two years later, and I'm only 12 minutes in, but I think it's great how y'all were all badgering Feefo and he was right about most everything
ikr haha
All they were saying was that Kanye can do his own thing if he really wants to that bad.
I've noticed that kinda happens sometimes. Feefo can have his moments of vision sometimes. The yeezys have almost singlehandedly brought Adidas into competition with Nike. Before that shoe, noone gave a fuck about the brand. Now, they're very much on the same level as far as influence goes
Fe Mon they weren’t arguing against what Kanye was capable of tho, and neither was Sway. All they were saying was that Kanye’s antics had a lot to do with why he got “blackballed.” And whether the fashion industry marginalized him or not, Kanye literally had millions of fans and millions of dollars to invest in whatever he wanted to on his own if no one else was willing to back him. If he believes in himself and his worth that much and is convinced that he’s the next whoever then stop bitching about it, just do it.
Right about almost everything lol? Like what?
Feefo ended up being 100% right
I love DEHH, but someone please explain to me how Kanye screaming at Sway is any different then Myke's hypocritical ass (still love u tho C-Town lmao) throwing a 15 minute big little kid temper tantrum in the Lil B review and calling Ken retarded (while insulting mentally challenged kids btw) and telling him he's full of shit in front of company, JUST because he disagreed with his opinion on an ALBUM.
I'll tell you, the only difference is that Kanye's tantrum was more catchy.
"YOU AIN'T GOT THE ANSWERS SWAY" > "YOU'RE FUCKING FULL OF SHIT KEN"
Myke at 10:30 in the Lil B video made me feel more awkward then any Ye tantrum. Respect to Ken for not choking out a grown man screaming in his face lmfaoooooooooo.
10 years from now, people are gonna look back appreciate Kanye's music and his approach way more than we do. They are gonna go back and look at Kanye performing live on stage with a beat machine playing samples live on stage while rapping to runaway. They are gonna listen to his visual album runaway, or late orchestration, and wish that they could attend a yeezus or glow in the dark concert. Kanye's albums are experiences! His productions ranges from samples of soul classics to guitar and electronic music. If you think about the feeling you get when listening to his albums on the day it drops, who else gives you that experience? Rap literally had no type of creative albums like that when Kanye first album dropped since the pharcyde and tribe were dropping albums. Rap just started to get rappers like J cole, cudi, wale, and kendrick over the past 3-4 years. Before that all we had was trap, drug and club music with a handful of rappers rapping about something different. So since rap can be considered a black culture, I really do believe Kanye pushed the bar for blacks to raise their creativity. Some people developed more creative schemes for their album, some people created more creative raps. But kanye has influenced rap in the past 10 years more than anybody.
My message is for those who can read and comprehend. No where in my "rant" did I ever mention Kanye coming up with Trap. I said the sound of hiphop at that time was a majority trap, drugs, and club(not too different from now with exception to those great artist I mentioned). The term trap and genre actually has been around for years prior to T.I. T.I was the first to specifically call his music trap music(his first album). UGk and 3 6 been making trap music long before tip so don't take what he said in an interview out of context.
Secondly, I never dismissed everybody's creativity prior to Ye. Notice i said "since" tribe and pharcyde. So i was giving reference to a time period, not just those two different groups genius .That era is the golden age of hiphop. Each coast had there own sound, gfunk in the west, southern sound, the midwest, and the east coast.
You do realize sampling is the essence of hiphop when it comes to production don't you? It's not always sampling the singer's voice, but you could take the drums or the acoustic guitar etc from genre. However, soul music and jazz has always been the meat and potatoes to hiphop. I hope you learned something..
That's nice and all but part of their point was that Kanye would be appreciated a lot more in the here and now if he wasn't so publically whiny about being appreciated.
There's a reason your first sentence is largely true: because 10 years from now, there's a good chance he won't be ranting as much. Kanye loses a lot of people by Kanye trying to demand their appreciation, instead of just letting his work speak for itself.
Lol too bad Kanye has destroyed Kanye.
What Kanye is saying is yeah I can start from the bottom, but why should I have to. And why should I have to design urban clothes, because from the beginning of Kanye's career he's never fit the mold of a "urban rapper". He got called names for wearing polo shirts and tight pants when rappers was wearing all bagging shyt, it just so happen the hip hop started conforming (as far as style) to what he and jay were wearing, there trend setters.
exactly but people dont seem to get that
He doesn't have to do urban clothing he can do high fashion, it's just he doesn't want to deal with only limited releases he wants major distribution
***** First off, I don't think Jay gives a fuck about Versace lol, but anyway. Now during Watch The Throne and letting up to it Jay and Kanye were rocking Givenchy heavy. They even wore it on tour. And mind you before that none of these rappers even knew who Givenchy was (besides ASAP). Then after that Fab,Meek, Tyga, Stalley, Waka and countless others came out the fuckin wood work wearing that shyt.
***** I'm talking present day, big and tupac been dead for almost 20 years now. What your saying is irreverent to the point I'm making. If this was 92 I would completely agree with you, but its 2013, and today Jay-Z run this shyt and he has since Big and Pac pasted away
passed away*
‘Maybe yeezus is the sound of a man losing his mind’ how fucking right you were myke!
Lol what killed me is when kanye sung that song in autotune on 1 of his yeezus tour rants "Why. Did. We. Let. M. J. Go to the wizards. (and repeat x3)"
Did everybody forget that Kanye designed the Louis Vuitton Dons that are high fashion shoes
imagine how crazy things would have been if sway woulda stuck him straight in the face.
i would have spent all the money i have to go to america find sway and shake his hand
He would have lost his job
feefo was so right this whole time. kanyes shoes are history rn..
Beezy at 4:50 "people forgot he made music he's been so busy running into stop signs and shit!" loLOLOLOlolo
"The drama, people suing me
I'm on TV talking like it's just you and me
I'm just saying how I feel man" - cant tell me nothing - kanye west
Who’s back here after yeezy is a billion$ brand and Kanye West revolutionized the fashion industry ?😂
Revolutionized how lol?
look how far kanye has come wow
Leather jogging pants seem like a really dumb idea, I mean thats just really impractical for jogging
Yeah, my man...but, I can jog is style... #SWAG
[I'm being sarcastic]
+57wookie Leather jogging pants????? ahahaha smh that sounds soooo rediculous .. It would get all sweaty and shit ewwww .
+0o I Died In A Time Machine o0 You can't say it isn't something new though lol.
+0o I Died In A Time Machine o0 clearly y'all dont know what joggers are...
Feefo gave yall some real game and yall clowned on him, and he turned out to be totally right. how does it feel
who else cracked the fuck up when b said "in the club" hahaha
Just Confirmed: Kanye is collaborating with APC for the 2nd time!
kanye stay winning
One thing I like about feefo is that when he states his point, he's totally up for other interpretations. Not many people are like that.
Pharrell is doing what Kanye wants to do effortlessly. Kanye relies on Corporations to validate him. Look at his career.
lmaooo I saw the title of this video and actually lost it. Man how times have changed.
Dave Chappelle once said when you achieve a certain level of money white people start letting you see whats behind the curtains, whats really going on. I wonder what Kanye saw to make him this way. Cause thats the only thing I could think of to explain whats happened to him....
Kanye is a troubled individual but he does have good points , however, due to the genre he chooses to express his views in , his perception will always be that of being 'urban' the irony of his so called plight is truly laughable
You guys just don't get it, Yeezys are a high fashion item, APC Kanye shirts were premium material at dirt cheap prices. Kanye lost 30 million actually, and it was from his KW line, he interned at Fendi, he's been doing rhe education. DEHH you lost
And...? That doesn't make Kanye's whining any less annoying. He's not guaranteed success in another industry just because he's Kanye West. All they were saying is that he should rise above whatever resistance he's facing and make his own lane. Getting a cosign would be great but he doesn't NEED them to succeed; he's got the platform to make it on his own if he really wants to.
i wish kanye did an interview with dehh
Aye DEHH, he lost 13 mill on "Pastelle" and his KW brand in paris. Thats why he feels that he cant do it himself.
Why did he lose the money?
Myke C-Town Lords knows lol. But i can understand why he feels he needs help. No one wants to lose 13mil again lol. Thanks for replying, Big fan
Kanye at 44 is now richer than Ralph Lauren at 44 and has had a bigger impact on culture and society and possibly soon fashion depending on what happens with Gap. Just in case folks are keeping score.
And now he’s seen as crazy 😂
maaan...Myke is always on point!
This hasn't aged well.
The real problem is anybody feeling like they need to rely on an established business to build their own business. Nobody in direct competition of you is gonna give you advice on how to be on their level. If you got the money, set your own ish up and build it.
Myke is right , big respects go to the OG Sway for not switching on kanye.. mufuckers can't be disrespecting you on your own show like that.
Feefo had the answers. 🎯🎯🎯
that zane interview scared the shit out of me. he started ok, than he went fucking psycho. haven´t felt so awkward during watching an interview ever.
C'mon guys.. he's saying the same thing in every interview, because that's what he thinks. I do this a lot too when I'm talking about things that I'm passionate about. You do this in your head when you're alone, trying to find ways to explain what you want to say the best you can. And when you find these lines and examples, you like them and you stick with them.
I disagree with 75% of what y'all said in this video, but I completely understand your POV's... EXCEPT for what Ken said @ 17:52 is just stupid.
That's subconsciously Ken's "Oh, hes a mainstream guy, he doesn't put as much thought into his projects the way underground artists do" biased state of mind coming thru lol.
Shit, the damn hook to On Sight explains it
"He gives us what we need, Though it *may not be what we want*" Hes not doing damage control now, he knew damn well the Hip Hop community wasn't gonna be fucking with Yeezus since before he even put out the album.
Check back to his 808's interviews, he knows what people want from him, that traditional Hip Hop sound, but like Hov said in TBC interview, Ye is the guy in Hip Hop that runs over the hill first, that guy that takes the heat first, then the rest follow. Which is what he did with 808's, he knew it would be polarizing, but if it wasn't for the that album, we wouldn't have guys like Frank Ocean and Drake that came thru to perfect the sound Ye started with 808's.
The Yeezus era is basically 808's Part 2. But then again, Ken hates 808's so I should expect that bias hahaha.
This is my new favorite youtube channel! Sharing with friends.
I love Deadend hip hop but you guys really showing your age on this one. Actually all the so called ranting that Kanye is doing got him a sit down meeting with LV. He lost 13 mill, well actually 30 mill doing a women's clothing line. He interned at Fendi for crying out loud. How many rappers or even actors would've interned? The Yeezys sold more than the new Jordans the month they were released. The only Jordans that sell now are the retros. When was the last time u seen a nigga in some team Jordans? He also has done two shoes with LV as well. It's not that they don't want to do business with him cause they have, but Like Kanye said, if it wasn't for Jay & Dame co signing him no matter how hot his beats were no one would've taken him serious. Same goes for fashion. And Myke he has no control over the prices, just cause he's Kanye West doesn't mean he can call Nike and say naw I want this to be $50 dollars. They wouldn't even give him royalties, what makes you think he can control prices? Come on now. I love u guys, but y'all really failed to do your research on this topic.
Then do what Tyler the Creator has done and privatize. He can't call himself Walt Disney and Steve Jobs while not having a single thing outside of music to call his very own achievement. Walt had Disney, Jobs had Apple, but what does Ye have?
Yeah,i don't think people really know what Kanye has learned about the fashion industry.I doubt he could control the price to those T Shirts.Kanye is trying to do it in a way that's never been done by a black man or a rapper.He want a real house hold name fashion design.Just as big as gucci,fendi,nautica,and etc.People sayin he need to just put in the work and start from the bottom but everything he's been doin fa years already like being an intern at fendi,all the time and things he been doin in paris,designing the yeezys and the success with that,loosing 13 million dollars trying to get things moving,and goin on all these interviews and rants is actually part of him starting from the bottom and the process to what he needs to do to eventually see things happen.
Nah. Bottom line is they were saying that Kanye should stop being a baby about it all and just man up his own money to create his own lane. At no point were they saying that Kanye couldn't be successful at creating fashion, they were simply advising him to - no pun intended - just do it. Yes, having a cosign from reputable brands is extremely helpful at catapulting the start but just because he's Kanye West doesn't guarantee him that head start...and either way doesn't guarantee him success either. If he's confident in what he can do then he can put up the money and take the time to do so...if it doesn't work out then that's life; if it does work out, then he never needed the cosign anyway.
Again, at no point were they arguing that Kanye couldn't succeed. They were simply saying that he needs to be and can be the one to make it happen. They weren't denying the resistance, they were advising him to rise above it.
good talk to sip some apple juice too
Did these dudes even watch the interview. The reason he said he couldn't start from the bottom is because he gets price raped by suppliers because of his status. So he wants to join an already established company for that reason. KanYe has designed high end shoes for Giuseppe and Luis Vuitton, and designed his own line of high end womens clothing so he does have more of a portfolio than these guys seem to realize.
well boohoo he gets priced out, how sad - we don't always get what we want, it's fucking business.
TommyV_OG thank you!!!!!! im glad someone gets it! I listen to Ye's interviews & he explains it but he isn't as articulate as others. Just wait, everything Kanye's wanted to do, he's done, just wait he'll do it with fashion
Thomas Hester He's a fuckin idiot, he cries about everything and apart from that he comes out with a shitty ass album. Not to mention everything he says is the same thing everytime
You may not have liked Yeezus but it's getting tave reviews from EVERYBODY. It's not a standard rap album & pushing culture.
Thomas Hester Rave reviews from idiots that aren't hardcore fans of hip hop, it's called hip-HOP for a reason, not Hip -POP
Top 10 DEHH titles that aged the best
I really thought these dudes were going to actually look at the statements he has been saying. This might as well be tmz. People see that Kanye makes great music and that he has millions of dollars. We can't fathom Kanye progressing to the next step, we want him to be happy and content with his money. It's not only the fashion industry, it's the world. I don't think he is trying to be the people's savior by exposing how we are being used on the daily to keep the billionaires wealthy.But I do believe he wants people to be aware of certain dilemmas in society. I believe that in whatever realm Kanye enters, that he can be successful. When he spoke on the connections that certain types of people have, it blew my mind. People have gotten killed for speaking like that, but it was true. He has a hidden message on yeezus that wasn't even in english that blew my mind. While his lyrics are very direct, his messages still make you engage in deep thought if you are listening. People bash him and say hes complaining like a bitch but deep down people really do wish that they could be as passionate and confident as Kanye.
i agree w ye, the industry is in fact racist af.
A$AP got into it the fashion industry, so did Pharrel. Kanye just wants to feel like a victim. If Kanye wants go create ''classy'' clothes for "classy people" he needs to learn to act with a bit of class too, and not whine when shit aint going his way
This convo did age so badly. Feefo was the only one who was spot on. Kanye proved all his haters wrong, is owner of a billion dollar company.
They weren’t arguing against what Kanye was capable of tho, and neither was Sway. All they were saying was that Kanye’s antics had a lot to do with why he got “blackballed.” And whether the fashion industry marginalized him or not, Kanye literally had millions of fans and millions of dollars to invest in whatever he wanted to on his own if no one else was willing to back him. If he believes in himself and his worth that much and is convinced that he’s the next whoever then stop bitching about it, just do it.
@@Chrisratataexactly people defending him acting like Kanye does nothing to get people to look at him odd is grade A naïveté 😂
What it comes down to is Kanye wants that finish line ribbon without running the race. You have to think about the top designers. Where did these guys start? What did they do in the beginning? Study what they did. If you want to be great like them, then model your path after theres. No; instead Kanye wants to just go straight to them and tell them to work with him. But who are you to them? What have you done in the fashion world? How many years have you worked with your mind focused on only fashion and worked day and night on creative designs? To put it in to perspective: Could a rapper with 3 songs walk up to Kanye West and tell him to sign him off of those 3 songs? Would Kanye take him seriously? Everyone doesn't have Trinidad James luck. And even with that luck, the industry despises you because you didn't put in the work that they have.
Thank you. Kanye attempted that race but fell losing 13 million dollars. The fashion industry is NO joke; its a survival of the fittest kind of business. Kanye is going to have to settle with co-venturing with already established designer labels like all the other rappers, because he isn't cut out for what those designer do.
He needs to understand that there is no easy way up that corporate latter. By his very stressful reactions lately it seems like he getting it.
Losing that much money proves he didn't know what he was doing. I agree that there's no easy way up that corporate latter. I believe he could do it, but he'd just have to work on it for just as long as he worked on his music career. And let's face it, it doesn't look like he's willing to put in the time to do that.
JustDavid0823 Like you brilliantly stated, its a race Kanye wants to win without running. I don't know if its his ego or what but longstanding fashion lines aren't born overnight. There is no medal for brief participation! I agree with you somewhat that Kanye can pull it off. He just needs time and an attitude adjustment to prevent him from burning bridges. Yet if all else fails, lets hope he pulls out before he bankrupts himself!
There's a flaw in your analogy. You said Kanye won't sign off on a rapper with 3 songs but the rapper in your analogy is probably just a run-of-the-mill up-and-comer, but the difference is that Kanye is a "rap rock star", very relevant in pop culture, and has already proven himself with the Yeezy's and he doesn't understand why he can't get a deal or meeting when he has so much influence already.
Souledgex1 - I'm not denying he's a "rap rock star", but to a fashion designer, Kanye West is a run-of-the-mill up-and-comer. He did not prove himself to the top fashion designers with Yeezy's because Yeezy's are urban based and not high fashion. My analogy was pointing out that Kanye has not put in the time and sweat as the other designers. He might have influence, but it only reaches a specific market and that's a different market than Vera Wang or Tom Ford are in.
Kanye 3 years later has won shoe of the year, had two shows at New York Fashion Week, the most recent one being the first fashion event in history to sell out a stadium (also in 10 mins) and has just released a brilliant album... Awkward
he's 53m$ in debt according to him and TLOP wasn't that great and because of the tidal shit it didn't sell that well either
Kim paid off his debt and the album got 250 million streams in it's first 10 days. Average pay per stream is $.006 so he made $1.5 mil in 10 days and it was billboard #1. Also, "TLOP wasn't that great" is literally just your opinion it doesn't counter the fact the man has been killing it and did exactly what he wanted to do.
Josh A objectively looket at it its just average. Not bad not great... and who the hell cares about his money let the man live
You lost me at brilliant album
i just smile watching this video now three years later because we now know who was right and who was wrong
This was an amazing conversation, I'm glad I found your channel, subbed.
this convo hasnt aged well
noah perry it has aged e x t r e m e l y WELL.
Kanye West Owns a billion dollar fashion brand after they didnt want to let him make n sell the clothes
Kanye did what they told him to do. Make your own shit lol
@@Independent365 Kanye made yeezy under adidas doe
Myke nailed it when he said Kanye wants you to think he's so deep that your mind can't comprehend what he is saying, and I lot of his fans have bought into this.
Kanye is a genius
Kanye just doesn't want to spend his money. Instead he wants to use Nike (or whatever large company) money and other resources cuz if the venture fails he will not suffer any loses. The sad thing is maybe he is creative enough but he is acting like a spoiled child, saying the same thing so many times (yelling really) to get attention.. Hopefully this Adidas deal will shout him up for a while..
This video's good... but it ain't no Ralph though!
If Kanye were as brilliant as he claims he wouldn't have any problems achieving anything. You can't contain true genius. Kanye has a wave and has done some things but he is nowhere near what he or his stans claim him to be. And as long as that disconnect between him and his self image exists he will only continue to be miserable.
Trust. You can contain true genius. Big money and power alone with powerful governments around the world have been doing it for decades. With Kanye that's no excuse though, because he has money and influence.
What government is holding Kanye back? Kanye has hundreds of millions of dollars... as far as I'm concerned he IS big money and power. The dude is just not everything he thinks he is. If he were as phenomenal as he claims to be he could make himself the new Ralph today with nobody's help or backing. Instead, he blew $13M because he doesn't know what he's doing, and he's getting turned away from high end places because he's a brand liability. He needs to wake the fuck up. He blew it and needs to move on.
Plus you gotta think. Kanye is calling out people who turned him down by name. Why would anyone want to meet with such a person? He's trying to blackmail his way into the fashion industry.
L
were is because the internet
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! A CONVERSATION!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol at the Kanye sheep calling anyone who doesn't agree with his marketed egotism. Come on people the guys a marketing genius for sure. But just talented artistically. I haven't heard anyone's lyrics and concepts be overanalyzed since the Beatles. Kanye wants black people to support him but what is he doing for us? I get the idea that black celebrities don't have to be role models. He's not setting us back as is no black celebrity but he isn't supporting us either
There is something wrong with kanye honestly Idk if he's trolling or not But ik there is something wrong with him ... But then again He makes since in most of the stuff he talks about that's what fks me up
Tyler the Creator is a perfect example of someone who is selling clothes successfully without that major fashion designer backing
we need kanye in hiphop period!!
I'm glad you guys are discussing this. I would love to hear your thoughts on Lord Jamar's recent comments too
Glad to see you cover this. Would love to hear your thoughts on Lord Jamar's recent comments
No, Kanye does not have the answers.
Now yeezy is valued at over a billion dollars watching these guys doubt kanye is hilarious
I wanted to hear something more current about the Yeezy stories:
- Ye's deal includes royalties and the ability to price his shoes. Will he make them more affordable? Can he afford to cut prices with a company that makes 10x less sales than Nike.
- Addidas are known for doing collaborations with designers and doing more smart/fashion shoes (eg Yohji Yamamoto colab, Porsche, Adidas slvr etc) so will they allow Ye to finally give us a less urban and more designer looking shoe (other than the Giuseppe Zanotti collaborations) so we can see what hes talking about?
- Sway capitalising on the situation with the "I got the answers" t-shirt.
- Album sales vs tour sales.
I was thinkin the same thing about the"Sway you don't have the answers"T shirts.Lol
I've commented this on another video before, but just to elaborate, here it is again:
look at all these sheep Kanye haters in these comments. It's hilarious. Listen. Listen to what he is talking about. Comprehend it. And understand that he is not saying anything offensive. He is trying to point out the bigoted minds involved big industries, that do not allow newcomers to make product, even when they KNOW the product is in high demand. Why? Because they are afraid. Ye is showing everyone why these high places in these industries are afraid, and are just hypocrites who aren't actually creatives, but just people in power, trying to maintain their power at all costs.
"You got the power to let power go?" - Power by Kanye.
This is a new generation of creatives. A generation of creatives that have more opportunities than ever. And the people in power are afraid. Yet they still hold the ability to produce, they have the production intelligence. So they have the ability to stop creatives (something that Kanye is trying to become).
1. i never said he was a genius, or "greatest thing since slice bread" as you say
2. nobody here said he was a great "marketer"
3. It's Pharrell, not "pharral" as you say
4. He did not price those t-shirts
5. He is insulting the companies because their heads are hypocrites who do not care about creating better product, they do not want newcomers into the business, because they are afraid. They hold the production capabilities, but only let new creatives design on a small scale.
6. You should probably learn some grammar rules, and re-write your comment so normal people can comprehend it.
***** You're spelling Kanye as "kanya". Several of your sentences are incoherent. Until you make a complete coherent response, that people can legibly read, nobody is really going to understand.
Komighty1 Seems he deleted his comments and ran away.
Komighty1 I highly doubt anyone with any sort of business sense would price shirts at 120. on the other hand it sounds just like kanye and his ego to sell a PLAIN WHITE T SHIRT for 120 simply because his name is on there
I've been reading the 48 Laws of Power for the second time and I can honestly say Yezzus is follow every rule in the book.Law 6 Court Attention At All Cost..I think Ye is a lot smarter than people thinks :)
Feefo’s take aged so well
Kanye West is a GENUIS
I have been waiting for this video.
When people go on press runs they always have bullet points that they want to go over they are generally aware of the questions they will be asked and what they want to talk about if you notice many celebrities say the same things on radio shows. If you optimize your message's efficiency by wording it the exact way that you want it to be said then you will make sure you know it like the back of your hand. A lot of people are not just people they're teams and brands and as such they want their marketing and ideas to be consistent thus there's a loose script.
I really thought Sway was gonna put hands on him
Hindsight is 20/20, but it's crazy how wrong these guys were (Except Feefo)
I fucking lol'd at the title.
I think both sides were right in retrospect
Almost 5 years later, Feefo was right lmao
Ive had my doubts on Kanye talking, but yea I do in believe in the man
sitting here 3 years later and kanye influence has allowed addidas to almost pass nike
I watched his interview on The Breakfast Club last month. The whole thing. And I have no damn idea what he was talking about the whole time. Charlamagne was asking him simple real life questions and Kanye was going off on confusing tangents.
Cuz u and him think very small
dfjr1990 keep putting him on the pedestal and apologizing for his ridiculous behavior. Charlamagne is right. We like him because of the music not because of all the corporate BS he is caught up in.
You'll see soon enough, it will be clearer
Kanye West is a marketing genius. He knows how to stimulate interest and create controversy, this video was essentially a reaction of Kanye's actions. The guy knows what he's doing but he does have a very melodramatic personality that I find a bit too much, especially when he rants in interviews. As an artist, Ye should stick to the roots of his success, his music. Yes, he can broaden his horizons, he can create a fashion line, he can be an architect, he can be whatever the fuck he wants, quite frankly most of us just want his music though.
jordan is a branch of nike
Michael Jackson was telling us the Industry was shady and he was a Billionaire stilled owned by Corporate America you remember when Chris Rock said we might be rich but where not wealthy there's a Big Difference !
I'm a big Kanye fan and I find myself defending him when people start to judge, but after watching all his interviews on radio shows etc recently I've realized that the reason he wants/ needs the top people in the fashion industry to back him is because he wants to make A LOT of money. He could do it on his own and people would buy into it like the Yeezy's, but he wants to go above and beyond, not with the designs, but with profit.
I need part 2 of this
oh and I liked the new lil intro !
The issue is not all about racism in the fashion industry, Kanye wants to push that the industry is classist ( the billionaires and the poor).
i honestly love your videos guys, thank you for the entertainment
Can Kanye make clothes? Yes. Can he do high fashion? Maybe a little. Is his strength urban clothing? Yes.
The problem with Kanye in this situation (whether he's being marginalized or not) is that he's trying to get a start at the finish line. Nike [although they have their ethical issues] started from the bottom, up. Apple started from the bottom, up. So did Ralph Lauren. Kanye has more money NOW than when those companies first STARTED. Since he's Kanye & he's in the public, he doesn't want to have to start from a ground level, which is his problem.
High fashion doesn't have a door. Ralph Lauren and Louie aren't closing it on you, unless you're trying to do work WITH them. If they don't want you, regardless, that's their choice. I'm not that into high fashion, but I'm definitely surrounded by it, and his image does not relate to high fashion. When you think of characters of high fashion, you think of Harvey Specter (from Suits), Neal Caffrey (from White Collar)...David Beckham...whoever. They all have confident, yet not brash or loud or immature appeal. Are they all white? Are some racist? Of course. There are wolves in the world, but he's crying wolf, when he's the reason for his own detriment. Yeah, but that doesn't take away from the others. Him being cocky, self-entitled, and belligerent in public isn't helping his cause, because that image doesn't relate. High fashion has to sell. High fashion isn't "loud" in how it looks either. There's nothing wrong with doing urban clothing. Shoot, Nike is urban clothing, which he's said. But he wants to be "Apple". Greedy. So instead of taking a great lane for him, that he would THRIVE in, he won't take any.
THANK YOU, and I dont think he has the skillset and mindset to build a company. He better suited for deals. Dame Dash said this perfectly on the breakfast club.
i wish i could have been there for this talk. ill tell them what they dont understand
Aaaand won't don't they understand I want to know cause your like the hundredth person I've seen say this
there are so many album reviews ya'll could be doing, and instead you waste film time on kanye crazy ass. smh... kanye hasn't gotten over his mother's death, that's what this is all about. it aint about the fashion industry rubbing him the wrong way or nike or nothing else. he hasn't taken time to grieve donda. he needs help and if jay-z is really a true friend to him, he needs to get kanye some help. before we end up talking about his demise this time next year
I've never agreed with a youtube comment more in my life.
Completely agree, I think some of Kanyes points are true and he is just a very very frustrated individual, the high fashion industry is a very closed industry and almost impossible to get into unless you are brought into it and how he is acting no one is going to want to be affiliated with him.
Hound D Deacon Palmer ***** One of them has to be Lords Of Flatbush, still waiting on that one.
nah I disagree, jay is not like that kanye looks up to jay as a big brother, even wrote a song dedicated to jay on the graduation album, jay cares about kanye, and whose to say that behind the scenes jigga isn't giving kanye advice, but kanye has such a big ego that even jay's advice could get ignored. I would really be shocked and would lose all respect for jay if he doesn't give a damn about kanye's mental state and what's going on with him internally, I mean at some point it has to be more than just about making money and living it up!
