Kanye wants to intern for Louis Vuitton - NYTimes article

[Relic]

Im probolly gonna catch hell for this,

but Ived you noticed alot of gay bashing in the kanye threads. If he is/isent gay so what, that really shouldent be an issue...im seeing alot of "faggot" and "homo" pepperd around these parts....

Now i agree dude is self centered and egotistical, and Im not feeling 808's at all,(if you sprinkle sugar on shit, its still shit).. But this is like the 4th thread now where cats have attacked kanye on the gay tip. I dont see how that matters when it comes to his music(or anybodies music). I know there is alot of homophobeia in hip hop,(i was just as gulty as the next man till a friend of mine came out.)
But Everysingle one of yall gots a gay cousin, or uncle, or whatever... And whats ironic there are plenty of gay artist that hip hop heads love and sample regularly(like elton john)

So you may wanna lay low on the homo or faggot comments...just my lil 2 cents....

*hides and waits for backlash*

Hmmmm, I see what you been smashin... lol

Nah dude I dont care if somebody is or isn't gay.. Im just saying that there are lots of rumours that Ye IS gay and then he wants to Intern over there just makes me laugh because of the fact that there are LOTS of gay guys in the fashion industy. Thus that sounds like a winner spot for him.
BUT I mean he's picking someone that gay or str8 if you wanna learn that end of the business that is a great way to go.... If you go that way that is .. lol

yea man kanye has lost his mind, with this fashon thing, its just a publicity stunt, i dont know what he is really tryin to pull, but ehh, who cares.....I still cant belive some people are feeling the album..His own clothing line would NOT be a good look

Especially if it looks like it did on the AMA..
Oh wait he stole that look from Ash!

Yea man, Kanye is pretty gay. I say if he wants to get into the fashion side of things, start your own business and let a true fashion head intern under you. Kanye is fuckin selfish, I wouldnt give him an internship if he paid for it. But I must say, besides 808's I love his music

If a person is gay there gay. I got no problem with someone else living there life anyway the choose. It's not my life so I could give 2 shits. I have one known relative that's gay, a distant cousin. He's still my people no matter what.

What I do have a problem with, as I've stated before, is dudes parading around like there not gay when they are. How many innocent females have been passed HIV from dudes playing "man" in the light but taking it up the ass it dark secrete places?

If you're gay just get da fuck out the closet. If I like your music I'm still going to buy it. It's not about being gay or str8 to me, it's about being deceitful for the money and the fame and sleeping with women killing our community!

That's my issue with it all.

IMO fashion and HipHop go hand and hand. Sort of like the unofficial 5th element How can you all call this man gay and not call out cats like Ghost and Rae, Slick Rick, Grand Puba, Fabolous, AZ, Clark Kent, Biggie, Jay-Z,THE WHOLE FUCKIN LOLIFES MOVEMENT. Hell Rich Porter, Alpo, and AZ influenced these same rappers and nobody called them gay. In all actuallity these cats made Kanye what he is as far as fashion goes. Theses people where just as eccentric and blatant about the "Fly Shit" and "labels" as Kanye is now. The fact that Kanye wants to learn under an actual fashion house and not just drop some Artist Label bullshit (i.e. SHady LTD., G-Unit, VOKAL, the list goes on) is respectable to me.

From what I know about Kanye, he was enrolled in an art school of some sort and wanted to study design prior to dropping out - if I have my facts correct. I don't know what kind of design that would be... fashion, furniture or other products. He posts stuff about aesthetic design on his blog - the type of shit that you have to really be a "design" oriented cat (like Danish minimalistic furniture) to understand.

I think he's got a heavy artistic streak in him - and the complementary ego. Let's see if he proves his worth. Though, breaking this shit down deductively, you're supposed to be a pretty good drawer/artist if you want to design stuff - and I haven't seen any of his artwork. Maybe he sucks?

If he had quality artwork maybe along the vein of Takashi Murakami or another postmodern artist that he could display, I think cats would buy it because he's such a famous individual. He could also allay the fears of some of the people that he wants to "intern" for. I just haven't seen that - so I could be wrong about his drawing skill.

If he manages to create a successful fashion business - it would create a bigger revenue stream for him than an artist (especially if it becomes popular enough to where he can take it public via NASDAQ or NYSE.)
