this is funny because I was watching a Myron Gaines podcast and he said that the white people were the one's that buy the music in hip hop. So this makes sense.

Also, we saw the first month of no rap songs in the top 100, and now Jordans and Yeezys are crashing. Is hip hop culture dead?



Get ready for the 'professionals' crashing. Remember the nursing story. This made sense to me at this part of BCP's video...

Clipped right where it states, 'does not affect undergrad programs'... turns out these schools (by offering 'professional' studies) upped the cost of programs significantly... because government loans paid for the majority of students (until time to pay back the loans, that is).

Some schools I know of (first hand), increased the cost of tuition for 'athletic fees'. That's right, Coaching and NIL money.

New generation probably not into sneakers. Most look homeless and dress like hobos.

I hope he goes out of business because of the way he talks. Just a long run on sentence like a girl. No punctuation. Talks like a woman.

My kids are Gen Z and hate rap and all the hip hop culture stuff. I think they hate it more than me. All of it is a guy/ho talking about how bad arse they are. It’s all self absorbed crap. Time to move on!

This is/was a larger segment of the market for the shoe market. And I believe this is correct. They realized making real life choices like tennis shoes versus a good cellphone is not a tough choice.

That and they realize there is a high density of these tennis shoes by the baristas in their local coffee shop, not so much worn by the people whose jobs they aspire to.

We saw this play out with Essence Festival. No-show government jobs were propping up a lot of industries.

Chinese knock offs helped kill the shoe market.

I bought a fake pair of Travis Scott Jordan’s that look fine. I paid $50 with shipping.

I think liberals and conservatives can find common ground on the crackdown on welfare benefits.

True crackdown.

First, we could really save millions or billions if welfare benefits only go to the really needy. Conservatives happier
And the needy would really get their government help. Liberals still happy.

But, the problem is that, lets be truthful, fraud in the welfare benefits helps corporations like Walmart, etc.
So many corporations aren't really wanting to eliminate fraud and overspending for welfare recipients, because they know it helps their bottom line, even if it is ill gotten gain through fraud.

Some people are really into them. Used to work with a guy who flew to NYC once a month, bought a bunch of jerseys and sneakers, shipped them up and made a killing.

His customers were rabid, most barely able to afford it, but thats where their money went.

... while I respect your opinion...

In no way would that happen.

You'd have riots.

We could only hope.

This is the most destructive culture our country has seen to date.

In September on TV they said Tracy McGrady signed a new shoe deal with adidas. McGrady who never won a playoff series as a starter, last played in the NBA in '12-'13 season.
