This Should Be Good!

Really? All this hype about Pastelle, and this is the first preview we get of it? So bad! Maybe Kanye should consider an internship at a design house after all.

Fashion Quotables: Kanye West

Kanye West really does like being a bitch all the time according to this quote:

What I really want is an internship at a (design) house…

Internship? Not exactly “voice of our generation” material. Who does he think he is that Wint-Whoring shit bag Sean Avery?

Kanye West Can Suck Balls. He’s Not My Generations Voice!!!

“I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice,” Kanye insists. “It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.”

“There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin [Timberlake] went on vacation I made albums. And it just came out to be that.”

Kanye West has decided to open his overrated trap to diss Justin Timberlake. Listen buddy, you made a couple of good albums, but in terms of influencing this generation and being it’s voice, your quickly aging ass is a little off the mark.

Let me break it down for you as to why Justin Timberlake kicks your ass in just about everything.

1. He’s a movie star. Your ass is too ugly to get a role, plus pouty, bitching black dude just doesn’t fit into too many movie scripts.

2. He bangs some of the hottest starlets ever, Britney (in her prime), Jessica Biel, Scarjo, Cameron Diaz. You’ve settled for some baby momma fashion designer wannabe.

3. He has a successful clothing line, William Rast. Compared to your shitastic Pastelle.

4. He’s hilarious. Dick-in-a-box = Comic Gold!!! You’re moody and take yourself way to seriously.

5. Justin starts trends you’d actually want to imitate and might be singlehandedly responsible for the elevated style of the sloppy youth (vests, fedoras, button-down shirts and dress slacks started with JT). You’ve brought us shitty hair shavings and venetian blind sunglasses.

6. Southern Hospitality is just about one of the coolest restaurants in the city. What have you contributed to my stomach lately?

7. Justin can dance. He is a performer and not just a rapper.  Plus, he can beatbox. You need Daft Punk for back-ups.

8. Your biggest contribution to music is Jesus Walks, which will totally seem idiotic when the scientist finally disprove that God-thing in 2020. Come on, you know it’s coming.

9. His mother is still alive. Oh, too soon…

Basically Kanye, you’ve released some good songs, but your overall contribution to my generation is minimal. Quit blowing hot air out your ass face cause you’re stinking up the music scene and get too work on making your contribution worth our attention.

Designer Discovery: Maharishi

Maharishi is actually a London based brand that has been creating amazing clothes for quite some time now. They have had their designs worn by Kanye West along with other large stars. They design men’s, women’s, kids, and accessories. Their latest collection is a solid mix of denim and plaid, that doesn’t give me the played out plaid feeling a lot of other collections do. This collection reminds me a lot of a indie version of a Ralph Lauren Rugby look, that will score you more Soho street cred than Rugby too. For more on Maharishi check out their website!

The Reinvention Of Kanye West

Then came Late Registration

Followed by Graduation

So to be 808's and Hearbreaks

Selectism recently posted an article on Kanye West and how his desire to be a pop star has resulted in him changing his music. In the article it is noted that Kanye wants to be talked about in the same ranks as Michael Jackson, Madonna and other big name pop stars, and a key to their success is the reinvention of their music. Where I do agree with that concept to a certain degree, there are still many other factors that have affected their success. Along with a reinvention of their music comes a reinvention of their style as well. Despite the whole skin color issue, Michael Jackson’s style varied as he moved through his career and the same is happening for Mr. West as well (not the skin color). Kanye has evolved from a Polo sponsored casual kid, to a classy money flaunting man, to the super trendy hip hopper, and now to the designer draped uber trendy performer. Especially with his recent work with Louis Vuitton, Kanye has transformed into the luxury brand performer, right down to his latest album which features West as a singer not a rapper. The constant change is what keep people interested in Kanye, because if it wasn’t about what he’s going to do next, well then I guess he’d be just as washed up as 50 Cent.
