In other news, Drake has signed with Nike for a shoe deal. That's something more fun to talk about lol.

has nike been developing a new, extra-soft outsole?

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I'm amazed it took the ADL this long to get outraged.

 

[Verano]

Not possible since Kanye has the worst fanbase possible.

can't be as bad as Chris Breezy's fanbase..can it?

 

[Nesotenso]

this is just a case of Kanye failing to put his thoughts into coherent, articulate, well thought verbal responses. Dude needs to think before he speaks. Having said that, I don't think he was being anti-semitic

 

[Jooney]

Off the top of my head:

Stuff that hasn't worked/been acclaimed:
Pastelle (DOA, Kanye's first)
Women's line (unanimouslu negative reception)

Stuff that worked/gained critical acclaim/influence (as in, you see the shit everywhere):
Air Yeezy (all of them; biggest success)
Leather jogging pants/jeans (every celebrity is wearing them; fashion world allegedly rejected them when he first pitched them and now they're all making knock offs)
Kilt (slowly finding its way through the music industry)
LV shoes (successful for what it is)
Jesus Piece line (again, successful and pretty widespread in the music industry; he missed the boat on monetizing it)
Shutter shades (missed the boat on monetizing once again)
Been Trill (went from Kanye's personal gear to Virgil's own thing; again you see it everywhere in hip-hop)
Don C's snap backs (I don't know how influential, but these show up in premium collections often and there's a decent number of knock offs too)

He has more failures though, most are behind closed doors. Just can't remember ATM.

Thanks man, very informative. Didn't know the breadth of his work.

Oh boy, this again. lol

[Mammoth Jones]

Dude ain't been right since his mom died.

This.

Oh boy, you again.

Have you met Drake stans? Not stannettes, but stans. Cats already swearing that Drake's shoes will be the best selling thing at Nike/Air Jordon by far.

Delusional as all the fucks,.

Kanye stanleys are nuts man. Just check KTT or any thread about this guy even on gaf. Dudes are on some other shit entirely.

He's not being anti-Semetic, just really stupid. "Obama can't get stuff done because he doesn't have the same connections as Jews". Uh, okay.

Kanye saying incendiary crap aside, I want to really know, does anyone think Drake's shoes looks better than the Air Yeezys? Because you're insane if you do lol.

That extra soft sole tho lol

I didn't expect that comment to cause a stir, but I definitely believe Kanye will say something about Jews or white people within the next 3 months that will end his career.

Dunno, doubt it.
There is less public outrage when a minority (mainly black or latino) says something racist against a white person, than the other way around. (Because of historical/societal/etc factors).

Wonder what he could even say that would set the media ablaze and ruin his career? He's already said crazy stuff, like this, or the George Bush thing.

 

[GameAddict411]

as much as i hate kanye he's right on this one.

 

[YoungHav]

Kanye is the worst black celeb since OJ.

 

[Forbin5]

It's not racist to acknowledge a statistical observation.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Does this idiot actually make music or just say stupid stuff for entertainment rag filler stories?

But there's quite a lot of outrage when anyone says something anti-Semitic, where is where Kanye is heading imo.

 

[Acorn]

No he never makes music or releases an album on average every two years.

Same thing.

Nah

I'm sure that Kanye is secretly an intellectual on the inside, its just that he doesn't phrase things well. That's all. lol
