Just when you thought the devil spawn Jay Z couldn't shut his nouveau riche ass up he comes with yet another pointless collaboration with Barneys that is being completely ? on everywhere in the fashion world, trust me because I am the IC king of fashunz.
And if any of you took the bold chance of wildly guessing that most of the clothes consist of tacky leather then you are certainly correct! DING DING DING! Hey lets just make a collection and OD on leather and chalk it up to fashion like that, that leather ? is so played out this old ass ? don't even know how to get with the game anymore.
If this isn't a sign of Jay Z being desperate for attention and yet again failing to be viewed as anything of importance in the New York rap scene then I don't even know what it is. My man Bryan Boy just told me ? gon boycott Barneys everywhere for this collection.
This is also some grand coonery on Jay's part, Barneys have been known for racially targeting black folks all the time.
And here is an article completely ? on his old ass.

Don't act like this ? is being sold for a good cause because all that $$$ will be spent on immortality potions for Jay Z and a fountain of youth for Bey. Word is Ivy Blue might inherit Jay Z's fossils some day and sell them to Smithsonian for a hefty sum.

Barneys Racist Culture Deeply Ingrained In Store, Insiders Say
On the sales floor at the Madison Avenue flagship store of Barneys New York, salespeople would joke about customers who, in their view, didn't belong.
Often, those jokes would be aimed at the black customers, a former sales associate at the store told The Huffington Post.
The former employee, who spoke on condition she not be named for fear of jeopardizing her career in the industry, said she heard sales staff and security repeatedly rip on black shoppers: "Their card is probably not going to go through," they'd say. "I don't know why they come in here and want to try stuff on that they know they're not going to buy."
"If a black person comes in with a sweatshirt or sneakers, some of the white sales associates would be on the floor saying: 'Why are they even here? They're probably going to scam,'" said the former associate, who is black and worked at the store in 2012 and 2013. "They would say this stuff in front of me. Sometimes I would just walk away, and sometimes I would say, 'You never know.'"
The luxury department store chain counts on its reputation of elitism and exclusivity to attract rich shoppers willing to shell out big bucks for a $1,595 Givenchy sweatshirt or a $4,495 Andrea Campagna suit. But that same highbrow culture has fostered racial profiling at Barneys, company insiders and industry experts say.

I haven't kept up with this much, but I never understood something. Wasn't the incident due to the actions of one store employee? Why are people acting like the whole company should be shunned because one low level worker did something racist?
-
I can't spend money nowhere I'm not welcome...brothers are really lost
-
Damn that employee was a grade A ?
-
? u know the clothes u can buy with that ?
-
Some of the items are nice.
I expect to see dope boys and big shots in every city going out to buy this either to support jay or just say than can buy $1000 clothes -
58k is Audi A8 money. Da ? I look like buying a coat for that much?

If you're gonna take that stance, i suggest you give up 90 percent of the ? you own because most of these companies are racist or have history with injustices. Don't be a militant when it's convenient. -
As for the price of the stuff, i hear no one ? on Versace, Christian Dior,etc for their prices but as soon as Jay or Kanye does it it's news story. Then of course ? fall for the ookie doke, because we carry a crab in a barrel mentality.

Timeless so age don't count in the booth
when your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth -
n.f.g my way there's people out there that can afford and they'll cop me i'll stick to my polo etc. too many people in a uproar over ? they can't afford anyway

Yea but what do u know of what I own....regardless in 2013 a company is pretty much telling they don't want u to buy their ? ...don't buy their ? ..
But ? can boycott Crystal tho right...but I'm the militant when it's convenient one -
lol my ? you really spelled fashion with a z at the end?
how you the king of fashion when you probally still rocking a g-unit hoodie reminiscing about when 50 cent actually had a rap career -
Shout out out to my burlington coat factory shoppers.

Unless the purple dinosaur selling high end clothes. Or maybe the dead guy in the movie setting trends. -

Some more fuckery from Barneys

There's actually more to the Barneys scandal than a Harlem youngin' taking questionable fashion cues from Juelz Santana.Monizzle14 wrote: »lol my ? you really spelled fashion with a z at the end?

Excuse mon haute couture swag but this is how a classy ass ? roll.
See that there, yes I do still wear G-Unit clothing trying to recapture the glory of the heydays but on the other hand there is a whole influential fashunz movement devoted to that, it's called Americana. Personally I know a lot of people in the world of fashunz and the other day my man Karl Lagerfeld praised me for my blend of Vintage and contemporary style. That's my word son.

Am I the only one who can't stand 2013 Jay Z anymore? I think Kanye rubbed off on him too much.
This ? ran around the whole summer trying to set trends and have ? wear abstract nerdy white shirts.
185$ shirts at Nordstroms ain't baller status. -
? fashion

Yeah cuz Jay-Z 96, 98, 00, 02/03 & so on was so much about poor people right? He wasnt associating & making commercials for every kind of car, champagne & clothes money huh? The same money the majority of his fans brag over & congratulate him for being so succesful no?
Also, all rappers & entertainers work that way. Like i told you dumb ? rappers are bussineses, literally. What, you think 2pac was different? Same 2pac rapping abotu versace, shooting, weed, champagne etc? Oh, but cuz he dead he's this martyr & was so black concious?
Im a fan of both but ? need to stop being hypocrites. All entertainers work the same way. That's how they eat, survive, "stay relevant" (rap fans favorite word, no?) & ? .
Ya ? still dont understand the entertainment business & how it works.
People wanna call Jay-Z Jay-mart & all that ? but then when you bring up Public Enemy, KRS or whatever - "aint nobody tryna hear that", "them ? aint been relevant in years", "them ? preach too much" blah blah blah..
Mofos pick & choose. -
? is ridiculous at the 10th power.This ? became rich and lost his ? mind.

Yup, the ether keeps coming unabated from the world of high fashion.
http://www.complex.com/style/2013/11/things-that-cost-as-much-as-jay-z-barneys-a-new-york-holiday/
You can buy a suspectly shaped private Fijian island and still get away with 30,000 dollars more than if you bought the whole collection.
And seriously ? Jay-Z for this waque ? . Old fake this is for a good cause ass ? . -
The crabbing and cooning in this thread by the op and others is straight disgusting. So let me get this straight, we are now ? on jay because...."he charges to much" wtf??? What kind of broke, useless, ? even thinks in those terms? But it doesn't shock me anymore the levels of stupidity and straight envy and jealousy that is rampant amongst the ? on this site.
Nike, Reebok, Gucci, Versace, etc will charge upwards of 300% mark up for shoes that ? will literally ? another human being for...but this is wack? Porsche Designs just released a Blackberry Z10 that costs $2K....a ? Blackberry. Ferrari will charge you $1000 for carbon fibre tire valve caps, and he list goes on. Yet we are going to sit here and chastise a black man when he's going to do it?
Also it the height of coonery to start using articles written by whites trying to discredit Jay for doing the exact same ? they do. Who the ? is anybody to say what's too expensive for Jay to charge at Barney's or not? Uneducated and ? in the bucket ass ? that's who. -
