Really? Over social networks?
Ok.
Because asking for funding/ financial backing, and calling everyone out in concerts and social media are the same
Would you walk outside an office building and shout about how they should give you a job?
Or would you qualify yourself, and schedule an interview?

Not really. Drake is easily on top of the game. Anything h touches turns to gold.
He's the Kevin hart of rap music

It's kinda hard to say his era is coming to a close when he has "+-20 million" people viewing his season 3/TLOP listening viewing at msg

. Kanye west is a grown man with kids not a child. Last time I checked he was close to 40. Let's not blame his mom passing for his behavior. He is a man that needs ALOT of attention.

It's not really over analyzing anything.
Nobody said entrepreneurs don't look for business partners.
I basically said, nobody ***** with Kanye because of the way he goes about conducting his business.
It's really that simple
And miss me with he "get over yourself" talk. You sound stupid with all that noise

You in your feelings about another mans tweets. Don't say anything to me about stupidity 
The mans had 3 more sneaker deals than you'll ever have. I'm pretty sure someone ***** with him. Let that anger go.

I post a response in a thread, and all of a sudden I'm stupid and in my feelings. Yawn.
Keep reaching for them feels though. You'll bait someone with it one of these days.

All I'm saying is Trump does the same thing. But I get your standpoint as far as political correctness as to see why someone would not WANT to invest with him. But that could be said about any investment....

I agree with this guy in some ways. Who is really going to invest in urban clothing anymore? The market is beyond flooded. Do you think mark zuckerberg is going to invest in urban clothing? Kanyes clothes didn't look that great to begin with. You can duplicate that look yourself with your own clothes if you really wanted too.

This. And then some.He got the two biggest SHOE threads on NT in the Nike and Other Brands (Adidas)section
He still the biggest rapper in the game, even though he hasn't put out a traditional rap album since MDF.
He was just on SNL
Sold out Madison Square so people can listen to his album
He made Tidals subscriptions go up like 10000% in the last 48 hours
I think he will be ok
Kanye's "era" is no where near coming to a close.

Nah I dig, you're right. He definitely does do the same thing.
But it's all about the relationships you're trying to build and he people you're trying to build them with.
If Ye wants the funding and backing he's got to come at people more correctly. It seems like he keeps trying to go to his "heroes" for help and funding, while trying to build something that will be in direct competition with them.
If I'm trying to start something, I shouldn't expect someone in direct competition with me to help me out. No matter how much I look up to or admire them. And then I shouldn't shout at them to hand me a helping hand.
But that's something he'll just have to hurdle over. If and when he gets funding, it will more than likely be from someone he least expected.
He worshiped Nike, Margiela, and Rick Owens for years, and out of them Nike finally threw him a bone. But it was Adidas who gave him what he wanted.
He keeps pulling on Zuckerbergs pockets, but it will more than likely be someone else who gives him his shot.

This happens all the time in business though. Just ask Elon Musk (Tesla) and Mercedes Benz.

So many rappers have had failed clothing lines. Anyone who would invest in this market would have to come in very low. His sneakers sell very well only because they are limited run and most are bought by resellers. Do you agree with me there? I can't see a Kanye line on the floor of Macy's. Bill Clinton is not wearing Kanye. Obama is not wearing Kanye. It's an urban brand before it hits the floor. Do you get my point? Where are you selling it? It's not going to be cheap? It will be priced in line with polo safe to say.

Kanye era will never close. **** outta here OP
Yeah. As a business, I don't think he's thought about what his demographic is.
Like people have been trained by Nike for years that buying $200 is somewhat acceptable. So for his shoes to sell out isn't that much of a stretch. Ain't nobody gonna pay those prices do his clothes on a mass scale
If he wants to design for people to just look at and think, " that's cool". Fine

True. But to Musk's defense...
...He's a genius...
But I'm not denying that you're right though
I just really think its Kanye's attitude that gets in the way of him succeeding at the rate that he should be.

Kanye has NOT fallen off musically. Proof : 30 hrs, No more parites, Real Friends. He can make still make great songs like these. He has just gone in a different direction where some core fans dont wanna follow or are just not into.
Is his era over? In some ways. He in no longer the main attraction in the rap scene (K.dot, Cole, Drake). He is still an attraction tho because of the level of quality in his catalog and his passionate, arrogant, spontaneous personality. People will still keep up with him but he isn't the main source of high quality music, there are more players in the game.

I totally agree. His wife is rich why is she not investing in his clothes. This man has so many more connections to reach out too but no one in his circle is investing in him. He is on the web reaching out to strangers. The clothes are bland looking and boring. They look like they belong in a post apocalypse movie set. He threw his money away and is now trying to recover.
