what are YOU talking about???he was STILL that guy
have u not read stories about life before his passing
what are you talking about?
Why do you think he was ousted from apple? he was a bad manager. go read any account about the first time he left apple. brash, incredibly emotional.
kanye has got to find that right mix like Jobs did.
he was STILL an emotinal dude and would flash on people
there was an article posted here a while back aout how he was during the iphone R&D process and the week leading up to the announcement of it
also about how he would conduct interviews with people for jobs and be an *******

Like
I said dude is emotionally broken and this is before his moms passing, her passing must have really push his passion to the limits of where he is now, I'm hoping in due time North mellows the man down and calms the pain this man is obviously carrying and projecting the way he is.

Ionno, Ice Cream has been and always was weak.
I **** with BBC, but mostly their more toned down pieces.
Palladium collabs is not relevant to me.
Couple of his LV accessories were dope.
His Moncler collab also not my taste.
So I don't really know if he's anymore of a fashion icon, but I don't think he's as influential as Kanye. I'm (me, myself) not saying Kanye is "iconic" but he might just be because people certainly try to mimic his style. I don't see that with Pharrell.

True, but Nike owes #23 for being what they are now. Jordan's influence for Nike > Kanye's. He needs to sit his *** down on that matter.

IMO, Pharrell was right there at the forefront of the full fledged sneaker boom as well.
Dude was rocking Dunks either before or right as they popped.
Put BAPE on the map to a certain extent. Clothing and sneakers. Kanye followed suit.
For what's it worth though, I don't look at either as a fashion icon.
Only rapper who's style I even checked for since Rakim was TI because he rocked the casual **** fresh and suited up fresh. Before he got on that hipster ****.
What would Lil Wayne be right now without Skateboard P?
Pharrell was massively influential, probably even influenced Kanye quite a bit (Kanye was on that BAPE **** too), at one point. Just not as much today persay.
Being a marketing vehicle doesn't make you an actual designer.

Ralph Lauren sure, but the RRL label? I don't think people were on it like that before Yeezy really started rocking their denim.

It's the opposite, people from what I've seen def started a lot of those brands i named after they became more mainstreamed by artists and celebs like Kanye. But mostly Kanye.

Pharrell's fashion resume is way bigger than Kanye's. Kanye might influence more people to do more things but Pharrell has done what Kanye wants to do in fashion.
Pharrell put bbc, bape on the map. Pharrell brought a certain style to people, he was the face of LV and designing for them way before Kanye was. You guys talking about LV kanye wests? DO you guys not remember millionaire LV sunglasses? Pharrell covers GQ, Vogue and all other magazines and is mentioned in actual runway shows in Paris amongst big names. Kanye just yaps about all of it and how he makes people wear stuff.

i agree with u on some parts
i think we just tryna get our points across
yes he was an *** before he left and after he came back
but his innovation and apple's lack of while he was gone made them over look it
apple was on the verge before he came back

you really don't understand what he said?
and i'd love to see his designs for adidas blow-up (in a good way). it'd be great to see kanye shoes sell massive amounts and have them stand on their own design-wise and not on some limited nike hype bs. i actually like the second yeezy - didn't like the first. will be interesting to see how much influence and talent he actually has when the steering wheel gets handed to him.

I see what you're saying, but without Jordan, Nike isn't the global brand that it is. They took his model of how you can market an athlete and applied to Sampras, Agassi, Jackson, Gretsky, Hardaway, Williams, James. He laid the blueprint for that, you can't deny it. AF1 are the number one seller because of pricing point. I get that, I was speaking solely on cultural influence.

I don't understand Kanye at all after listening to his current interviews and he's repeated himself over and over. But at the end of the day I can understand how a rich black man could go crazy trying to venture into a avenue of a predominately white people. Eventho he's Kanye West they still see a *****.
With that said **** you Kanye first and foremost.

RELAX with that. I ain't no Kanye stan and at the same time I been through some stuff and it got to a point where I was just buying stuff. When I got bored of that I'd buy something else to keep occupied. I mean difference between me and kanye is that we all self conscious, I'm just the first to admit it.
