Kanye West and Damon Dash Buy Fashion Label

Kanye West and Damon Dash

Kanye West and Damon Dash have teamed up to corner the market in the fashion world. This is big news because Kanye is carving out a niche in fashion and Dash has experience with his own fashion line. Dash and aging rapper Jay Z co-founded the now-defunct Rocawear clothing line.

From WENN.com:

Rapper Kanye West is cementing his place in the fashion industry by purchasing a clothing label.

The hip-hop star has teamed up with his pal Damon Dash to buy online streetwear retailer Karmaloop.com, which recently fell into financial trouble and started bankruptcy proceedings this week.

Dash announced the news in a series of posts on his Instagram.com page, sharing a picture of himself posing with West and adding in a caption, “The Karmaloop thing is real… This is exactly how I saw things 10 years ago and he’s (West is) doing some s**t that even I couldn’t do but it’s not my place to speak on it… But let’s just say I am proud as f**k… That’s the way it’s supposed to be… Honourable people stick together… stay tuned of course… It’s gonna be fun making history.”

West has been making strides into the fashion industry in recent years, and launched his latest collection for sportswear giant Adidas at New York Fashion Week in February.

Dash posted this video on his Instagram page to flaunt his partnership with Kanye.

I think Tyrese dyck kept getting hard in those scenes. He couldnt focus. Im sure its hard (no pun intended :lol:) to act when its a naked black woman dry humping on top of you. I feel like shyt got real though when they told everybody to leave the room. Who knew the beat it up wasnt in the script. That was good improvising from Tyrese.

I wouldn’t put it past them.
I read a excerpt from a article and the YT woman was pressed.
She was mad that parts and roles that weren’t brown are being made brown.
There is a show coming about female cops in Boston and they put Rutina in it when the cast called for all YT women.

They mite find a niche. Remember, Jay Z is a buffoon. His “talent” is actually riding the coattails of others.

His “wealth” came frome two deals. ONe of them being the sale of Rocawear… that Dame Dash completely created from scratch, marketed and negotiated the sale of. He basically GAVE buffoon Jay Z half his wealth.

Anywho, Dash was shown to be a good business man. I think he they will have a nice lil thing for a while.
