Obviously...The companies are among a long list of businesses who do not want to market to African-Americans

S.L.U. is not coming out as a video I can gurantee it, Hov's version has a better chance of coming out than this one. Where T.I. did $@$* up was "LiveYour Life" should have been out already by time the video is out the single would have lost it's luster.

Its a difference between marketing to African Americans and having 7 time felons promote your stuff through rap songs.
Gucci and Louis Vuiton are pretigious companies they dont need Tips "free promotion" if anything they probably would have lost money if the videoblew up

I completely understand where you're coming from but I think you're reaching with that last statement about losing money

Im saying us black people have trends where in white culture they tend to stay with certain brands for the long haul if Fox News would have did asegment on TIP and Swing You Rag their stocks would have went down and there global consumers (majority non hip hop listeners) would have been turned off.Menawhile after a year or two Hip Hop would have moved on to another trend and Gucci and LV would have lost. I might be reading to much into this but thesedang business classes got me over analyzing stuffOriginally Posted by Ghost703

Tip has moved on, and a video for "Live Your Life" with Rihanna is on the way shortly. There's also still hope for a "Swagger Like Us" video and a major performance.

Uhhh don't see a problem with it, its called keeping the integrity of your brand. LV is very well known as a luxury brand that likes to keep its imageprestigious. I mean you can't say they don't wany people in the urban community rocking their pieces because they have Pharrell designing shades andKanye working on designing a shoe. We all see what happens to brands that become bastardized ie Burberry so i think this is more of keeping the integrity oftheir brand rather than them not wanting us to wear it.
