RE 2: Yes Fashion changes over time but he has categorically stated that he’s always been fresh to death and dressed differently from traditional ‘Urban’ dudes BUT previous videos and photos indicate otherwise. It invalidates a dude when statements he makes about himself are basically FALSE. Also, designing a shoe is HARD and requires TALENT. I bet your bottom dollar he had massive help with design of shoe and was probably just asked whether he liked them or not.

RE 3: First of all, of course it does matter who wore what first, same way it matters who started saying what slang first, See: Max B-vs-Game Beef or using Auto-Tune first.

But anyway you’ve misunderstood what I’m saying. I’m not saying if you copy someone else you don’t have style. The thing here is about creating a style. I’m gonna sound like a fruitcake but to me creating a style and wearing a style are gulfs apart. Creating anything but particularly a style is an expression of yourself and who you are and I don’t feel the way everyone is giving Kanye credit for creating a style of dress that was around and popular WAY before he decided to hop on.

1- Actually Kanye hoops wit a crew everyday before they go to the studio.

2- I’m almost 100% sure fashion changes over time. If not I doubt we’d even have a variety of clothes to wear at all. He makes some dope designs for shoes and I can’t lie. the LVs he made are dope.

3- Man when it comes to clothes it really doesn’t matter who wore it first. Theres always a celeb that makes it famous. Thats like sayin If a regular nobody walkin down the street is wearin a type of clothing and you wear something similar a couple days later. Then according to what your saying you basically have no sense of style because the clothes you wear are similar to his. correct?

And btw 808s still went platinum so whether yall like it or not other people feel his music. Kanye doing a shoe for Jordan wouldn’t be bad. Basically yall would respond to it like any other shoe. If you don’t like it you don’t buy it, Point blank.

1st up – Kanye can’t ball so who the fuck is he to design some Jordan’s when he can’t even fucking ball. He looks fat and slow. They could’ve got Master P, Game, Mase or even Cam to design a pair of Jordan’s and they would’ve had a superstar rapper AND someone who can actually ball.

Second of all – Kanye’s dress sense is OVER-rated and his stylist’s is UNDER-rated. He acts like he’s been breaking the mold since day-dot but if you look at how he dressed before he got paid, like the “Through The Wire” video or in cameos for the videos of songs he produced, he looks like a regular throwback wearing dude. The only reason he looks fly now is because the label’s care about his image and give him a fashion AND stylist budget as A. He is a rapper and now a lot more visible to the people and B. his dress-sense is his gimic; Louis Vuitton Don, etc…

Moreover – The only reason he’s considered a fashionista, and I know this ain’t gonna go down well, so I’ll apologise for any hurt feelings now, is because, like most trends he steals European trends and drops them stateside. All his styles have been around LDN for like a year or two before he breaks them and his general look is like a Shoreditch cat from ‘06.

What makes it worse is that now his clothes has such coverage by the fans, European designers are using him for publicity and now throwing his stylist the real FRESH, bespoke shit straight off the catwalks in London, Paris and Milan, pre-release AND for free, so he really does look like the Miss Cleo of future trends.

As you can tell, I am quite pasisonate about this.

Im having trouble finding any quotes where he claims to have created a fashion. He did bring a new STYLE to the rap game. Fasion is as much about mixing old stuff togehter in a new way as it is to create new things. Creating a trend doesnt take a mill, just innovative thinking and Ye sure has that!
