Link Heavy. Kanye Speaks (and we listen)
Link Heavy. Kanye Speaks (and we listen): You've got to love Kanye West. I mean, the guy says whatever the hell he wants and sometimes, we agree. Kanye has returned to Complex and we couldn't be happier. Here's what he has to say about streetwear:
"I’m allover-printed to death. Hoodies, hoodies, and more hoodies—how many more streetwear lines can we take? They say hip-hop is dead, and in that argument, people always give props to the originators. In the fashion world, we’d say, let’s give props to Supreme and Stüssy. And you gotta give Bape props. People say the concept of being cool should be anti-the-establishment. The reason why people dis Bape is because they are so big that now they are the establishment. Like Gnarls Barkley now isn’t the same as when people were just emailing the song. (Side note: I can and can’t believe that Gnarls Barkley didn’t win the Grammy.)"
