I wasn't aware of or paying attention to D&G's support of Trump.. (I don't wear their stuff)
and apparently he didn't either until he got there..

and yeah I agree, the t-shirt looks like a joke: http://us.dolcegabbana.com/en/men/clothing/new-in/t-shirt-m%2Fcorta-giro-white-158058091922864.html?keeplocale=true&Country=US&gclid=CjwKCAjwsqjKBRBtEiwAkWyN38k5z2M_qJ77PXzKcXvU2xcttcZTdD_vEAhB-oCUWKRqj_OpfdUppxoCqIcQAvD_BwE
13167558, I don't understand the boycotting bc somebody supports Trump
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Wed Jun-21-17 12:13 PM
63 million people voted for him. That's a lot of potential boycotts.

But I happy he stands for something and put it on the line for his beliefs. Better than most keyboard warriors and complainers (myself included)
13167576, In this instance, it's more about D&G taking protests and action

Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Jun-22-17 07:59 AM
you shouldn't get hit with a $99 prime charge when you select yes.

shit is shady as hell.

Then they had the nerve to tell me it would take 5 days to reverse the charges because of MY bank.

What bank you know that won't accept money for 5 days?

I cursed that Indian lady out then apologized because I know she isn't even in the states.

^^ It can take 5 days to reverse charge because of the transaction validation process for the accounts on both sides, fees, and the validation of funds, ACH (Automatic Clearing House), the Fed Translations and the processing time.

Same crew as DRAM and 6LACK.

13167636, reeeeeeeally
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Jun-21-17 02:21 PM
wonder how he feels seeing his homies get on while he's stalling.

he got any tracks w/ them? i liked a few off his album.
13167639, Raury good but he's not the greatest writer
Posted by Heinz, Wed Jun-21-17 02:26 PM
or the strongest singer, he's very raw. DRAM and 6LACK are far better writers/singers. I dont think either of them really collab together like that. Only song I think i can recall is DRAM and Raury both on that Chance song.

6LACK is highly underrated IMO. That dude doesnt have one bad song. He's like a cool cross between Bryson and Frank Ocean. Im still bumping that album he has.
13167650, 6LACK surprisingly didnt work for me
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Jun-21-17 02:46 PM
weird too cause it's right up my alley on sonics and content. that frank comparison is a good pick tho especially vocally. i might just need to spend more time w/ his album

I like DRAMs rap stuff like Broccoli and Gilligan. sometimes he gets a little too cheesy for me.
13167659, Yeah thats one thing that irks me with DRAM
Posted by Heinz, Wed Jun-21-17 03:02 PM
He can sometimes come off like hes doing a satire or something. I can take a cheesy but well written song but the way he sells it visually, especially his facial expressions and mannerism can come off like those SNL music skits LOL Might as well have Keenan in the video

Yeah I would take in that 6LACK shit in again, even Bless Me and that new one That Far are super dope to me. I think he's a better writer than Bryson and Frank because It's very straight to the point and scale wise his music and words can be digested easier by the average listener. I love Frank's music more than the 2 of them but Frank to me is more indie/abstract but BIG at the same time. He's on another level to me than them.
13167660, yeah he's comin - that project is strong

don't even get me started on that feature with J.I.D - that sht bangs (like 8701)
13167648, postjack? let's talk about label hoein' in general
Posted by willi_dudat, Wed Jun-21-17 02:46 PM
dolce gabbana , louis vuitton , (other names with squiggly red lines under em when you type em)

why break your neck for any of that sht?

13167661, Thats what people with bad taste who cant dress say LOL
Posted by Heinz, Wed Jun-21-17 03:09 PM
smh.

Lets not play that game of "why is LV, Dior, etc" better....seriously. Lets stop that nonsense. Respect the art, respect the designer, respect the quality. YOU don't have to buy it if you don't want but stop that nonsense as to why quality has a price.

13167664, quality does have a price - definitely not arguing that
Posted by willi_dudat, Wed Jun-21-17 03:14 PM
but im not speculating when i say people be label hoein. no tee has to cost 245 bux fam - NOT ONE.
13167666, Yeah but thats how you dont saturate the market
Posted by Heinz, Wed Jun-21-17 03:19 PM
and keep your shit exclusive or high end.

Otherwise you end up having clothing in a department store where any joe schmoe can get it and afford it then you become that dried out clothing line nobody wants to wear.

Nobody bootlegging Walmart brand tshirts and trying to rock it like its the OG LOL
13167667, not to be classist but...I cringe at Gucci stuff
Posted by double negative, Wed Jun-21-17 03:23 PM
specifically when I see young black men and women wearing the stuff and you can tell they are either going to or coming from a minimum wage job


I get wanting to look fly

I get it that fashion should not be exclusive


but I keep thinking "iI wish you had put that 300 you spent on a belt into your savings or placed it in a no minimum investment account"
13167669, Priorities outta wack.
Posted by Heinz, Wed Jun-21-17 03:35 PM
I hate seeing that shit too

13167671, fashion is egocentric as fk #accurate
Posted by willi_dudat, Wed Jun-21-17 03:36 PM
gucci could kill off a small country worth of babies and still profit every fiscal year

i just can't fathom what the hell for? if you're lame in levi's i'm willing to bet

you'd be equally lame in louis - pretty much guaranteed

even if it does make you "feel better"

i ain't out to kill a buzz - i just wanna know what it is
13167672, but they'd just spend the 300 on something else probably

I don't do it but my homie does. I have done it and I appreciated the difference in quality. No not $300 tshirts but I have spent that kind of guap on jeans. Those jeans lasted longer and felt better than cheaper jeans. And yes I felt better in them.

We all decide how to spend our money. We can all spend each others' money better though. Easily done from the outside.

I say keep your mouth shut and keep moving. Bc any of us could judge you for how you entertain and treat yourself. But for what? Life is short - enjoy it. And shut the fuck up.
