Photo via Am Appy Daily Update
Can’t believe Kanye West shops at Am Appy. Not sure if this makes me want to wear it more/less. Not sure if this means that American Apparel is meant for people of all races, or that they are trying to be some sort of upscale blipster brand. Feeling very confused, like I want to burn all of my Am Appy/try to think of new conversion projects.
When I see Kanye looking at Am Appy shirts, it seems like he is saying that he could design them better than Dovathan Charney. It seems like he ‘likes the aesthetic’ but would probably ‘tweak that shit’ to make it more ‘epic’ somehow.
Can’t believe he brought ‘his skank ass girlfriend‘ with him. Wonder if her curvie figure can even fit in2 Am Appy. Feel like I might need to find a new brand. Has any1 heard of Anthropologie / Hollister / Ammy Eagle?
would have guessed that Kanye was ‘above’ generic retail bullshit. Guess he’s just trying to chill. Apparently he bought 2 hoodies & sunglasses. Seems like a sillie purchase, since summer is coming up.
I remember Kanye West had a song on his first album where he talked about being a black dude who worked at the Gap. He rapped about ‘murdering his boss’ and ’smoking blunts at work.’ He was just a disenfranchised black bro, still hungry to ‘transcend society.’ Now that he is ‘famous’ I feel like his content is ‘totally different’, and he just sort of sings about ‘generic hip hop greatness.’
Feels weird that Kanye West used to have a ‘different image.’ Wonder if he was still ‘demented’ back then. Feels weird to ‘look back’ on ‘rappers who we thought were going to be different than every other rapper’, but eventually all ‘hip hop stars’ turn in2 the same thing.
I remember when Kanye’s signature gimmick [via 1st album] was a ‘dejected bear.’
Seems like maybe he was ‘less cultured’ back then, and this was ‘all he could think of.’ Back before he met the Ed Banger crew/ traveled to France / started ‘blogging’ / ‘going 2 fashion shows’ / becoming an ‘artist.’
Can ppl change, or are they always the same?

I am not as worried about Kanye West shopping at AA as I am worried about the fact that I don’t think Carles is writting anymore…it doesn’t seem like him, the writting is not as fluent and it seems forced.
Crls, are you ‘too busy’ with ‘life’ that you hired someone to write on HRO?

@Mightytaiger, Sorta been feeling this lately myself.. See my previous cmmnts about the mainstreaming of this web log, and its inundation of ntry-lvlrs. But then he goes and gets real vulnerable again and reinforces my <3 for him.
Carles has died.
Carles is risen.
Carles will come again.

Kan-yizzle went thru such an image change, frum everyday mnstrm-er to uber-blipster. kinda admire that in a way.

In the 80s, or whenever people of other skin colors had to sit in the back of the bus was, they would’ve had AfroAmAppy.

Now every innercity blkbro will switch from the hollister/Am EGL/ AnF hoodie fad to this. It’s kinda like the opposite of when black slang words like “blng blng” get to mainstream old wht ppl and u know its dead.

The other day Kanye West posted a Patrick Wolf video on his blog. I hate that. Like, if you really like him you wouldnt expose him to your lame ass mainstream consumer fans right?
Seems like a chill bro though.

I met someone named Jesus. He was mentally special [via autism] and had a tie-dye shirt on.
I wonder if he was a fan of AnCo.

Kanye is American isn’t he? It’s dumb questions like this that stifle progressive dialogue.
