Yeah i think that just makes it that much more impressive how big his impact has been
Literally. That plus the MAGA s*** would’ve killed anyone else lmao
im confused. If a rapper is actually making multiple genres shouldn't they be considered an artist? I think it is just a respect thing cause niggas be making more then just rap. But if you black and you start as a rapper, you will get marginalized into that group forever
Kanye had blogs and iTunes and is a rapper
2 cultural differences that makes it hard to compare with older artists
That’s why I don’t like the comparisons my good man. It’s so hard to compare
correct me if I'm wrong but the shoes ye known for are roshe inspired right?
also where is the proof he actaully designed anything that everyone wears today
like karl lagerfeld (him not a team under him) designed the iconic chanel logo (double Cs) and made it the brand it is today amongst other things
ye hasnt done anything in that stature when it comes to fashion
were are the fashion pieces he designed that aren't being hyped up by hypebeast but can actually stand alongside iconic pieces from other brands
besides that shoe design that again heavily resembles the nike roshe shoe....idk
only the 350s rly had that connection of resembling roshes, n those were back in 2016. since then he's got a whole catalog of shoes n a handful that have notoriety
All his early shoes from lv to like the first few yeezy adidas he was a major part in designing them.
And who cares if they’re roshe inspired that doesn’t mean anything? 350s still in style and roshes aren’t
where is the proof he designed them s***s and played a huge part in it? where are the sketches? the drafts? where is him showing us he can sketch a shoe design?
he could even sell just sketch for millions or sum like other designers get their drawings auctioned
outside of hypebeasts or sneakerheads most people just buy whatever shoe is financially in their league, I don't think the roshe fell off if it's still in stores, it just became a staple like the adidas shelltoe
the adidas shelltoe isnt the shoe that's trending atm (on google etc) but it is an iconic shoe and has longevity and a loyal/stable consumer base so there's that im sure the roshe is doing fine too
Everything that u create is a artform bro don’t mean u a artists u don’t hear no hooper call theyself a athlete they a hooper they excelling in ballimg why tf would they use a broad term
Like athlete when they hoop?
this dumb asf lol. Basketball players usually only ball. There are rappers that make more then just rap. Like i think Xxx called himself an artist a lot too. it comes of pretentious but he wasn't wrong with how much genres he tried outside of rap

idk if you know this or not but Kanye and virgil have literally done internships at fashion houses and actually learned how to make garmets from the ground up. He said he sketches ideas all the time
And bringing up the roshes is a 2015 ass critique lol. They aren’t even the most popular silhouette at this point
only the 350s rly had that connection of resembling roshes, n those were back in 2016. since then he's got a whole catalog of shoes n a handful that have notoriety
show me the shoes that have notoriety besides the 350s
I'm not a sneakerhead so I just wanna see what y'all talking about (pics?)
I just don't see non-sneakerheads care about ye shoes like that unless Ive been living under a rock or I can recognize the shoes (have seen them worn in real life) but didn't know they were from ye

:elon: this is a weird line of questioning cus it's not like we treat every designer this way.
but
almost all of these have since been released n def look similar to the sketches for most of em

700s, foam runners r the 2 most otherwise talked bout

Rapping is something you do, like singing or playing an instrument. It doesn’t matter how many genres or styles you want to experiment with if you are wrapping over music, you are a rapper and you say anything more than that you were trying to market yourself differently than what you think people see rappers as.
Bro cmon I love X but he got y’all fooled with those 2 minute iPhone recordings over a guitar beat
I mean it just sounds like your diminishing his music because he's a rapper. This nigga has an entire album doing mostly emo and folk songs lmfao. What more does a black rapper gotta do to be considered versatile. Was he good at it? questionable. But i would 100% consider him an artist

what's the most famous silhoutte?
where is the footage of them making sum or designing sum?
is it just their word I have to take as truth here or are there accounts by witnesses or other forms of undeniable proof they designed sum (by themselves) ?

thats what im saying. Some niggas be singing over non hiphop inspired beats. What would you consider that? I wouldn't be mad if someone like that called themselves a artist

why do you think they are lying? if they were lying they would’ve been called out on it by now
On god, hate when rappers say that s*** to distance themselves from rap and appear more mysterious
I want rappers to embrace hip hop
We livestream at night if that works but you’re just a interesting Nigga. Wanna throw u on for a bit
Lol I might be able to depend on time just quote me and I’ll try to be there bro
why do you think they are lying? if they were lying they would’ve been called out on it by now
By who
By who
ye name drops people who he works with all the time. if he were a fraud I’m sure they would’ve called him out on it or the list of people that he’s worked with would be much smaller
700s, foam runners r the 2 most otherwise talked bout
just googled and I have seen the foam runner on ktt before but they mostly got clowned iirc, it's original I'll give it that (I lowkey think he scamming y'all tbh but I also can appreciate as... futuristic crocs?)
the 700s remind me of some other shoe silhoutte , google images showed some that look like airmax had a baby with the foam runners
and other pairs that looked like those balenciaga big shoes? ( idk who did it first, but I remember seeing those big white shoes somewhere before)
there's some originality here ngl,now idk if this was all his idea (very well could be or not) and idk if these shoes will have the longevity of a nike airmax, jordans, or adidas shelltoe, only time can tell tbh

Why would they f*** up they bag like that lol people knew drake had a writer bro nobody said s*** until pusha
