Tip should be promoting nothing but Akoo right now anyway. How is he gonna get anyone to believe in it if he's promoting Louis and Gucci? Dudesain't learned nothing from Cristal.
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 image prestigious. I mean you can't say they don't wany people in the urban community rocking their pieces because they have Pharrell designing shades and Kanye 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 of their brand rather than them not wanting us to wear it.

You keep your brand's integrity by keeping that **** out of the hands of the "wrong" people.
 
I don't believe Gucci and Louis Vutton had a problem with TIP rockin' it in his video. I mean did ya'll not see the Louis Bag video by Bloodraw? OrMarco Polo where Soulja Boy and Bow Wow got Louis on? Or Game's Pain? I don't believe the problem is dudes wearin' the problem is having twocompetitors in the same video shoot. I'm sure Reeboks and Nike wouldn't want to be headlined in a rap video either. Or PS3 and XBOX 360.
 
^^^You might be on to something...lol...maybe if it were a song about just LV rags or Gucci they'd be all for it...idk Vid would of been hotNonetheless...seems like Tip is gettin it in with the videos what he @ right now? 4videos?

Rappers confuse me. They invest millions of dollars and time into a new clothing company, yet gives free promo to two billion dollar brands.

Imo, Gucci and LV don't want to be in the same video and competing like dude above me said.

Yea Jay was/is the same way. Its like if the artist doesn't rock their own clothes to me that shows they don't even like them so whyshould I cop? I don't understand it myself. I will say though that some of these cats rock this #*! so they can in the long run actually be signed underLouis or Gucci to rock their #*!. So it does benefit to rock the #*! in your video for free but yea I don't really understand why TIP ain't rockin'his own #*!.
 
first off i'll repeat what i said in the HE thread...TI makes the LV/Gucci look bad...im glad they gave this the AXE-

BUT- yall pulling the race card too quick- if you look back Louis sued Britney Spears/Sony for her use in a video...they have a whole dept for thisstuff...they sued google etc etc- it aint a black rapper thing - they PAY pharrel, kanye etc...

i mean i guess if you wanna force the issue you can make it look likewhatever you want-

again they have a dept and if some they find is detrimental to the "image" then they go after it...they have sued artists, websites all type ofpeople-


but do you...start a boycott-
