Kanye West’s $120 Plain White “Hiphop” T-Shirt Sells Out Instantly

[Elano The One And Only]

Just to prove once again what we already knew (ie that he can just make any old thing and his fans will eat it up) Kanye West AKA Our Lord Yeezus Christ dropped a $120 white “hip-hop” tee in collaboration with high-end brand A.P.C.. If you can’t already anticipate what happened next, the internets went all abuzz and it promptly sold out.

My question would be, who the hell pays US$120.00 for a plain white t-shirt? Granted it does have Our Lord’s name printed on it (well in it, anyway–as the description says, the words A.P.C. KANYE are silkscreened inside the neckline) and how often do you get to buy a fabricated signature from a God. That almost makes it worth the price BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE. This chumpy also features 1) Short Sleeves 2) Ribbing at the Neckline and 3) is constructed of 100% Egyptian cotton, so when you add all that up, this seems less like shameless self-aggrandizement for Kanye and more like promo for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis‘ track “Thrift Shop” (I call THAT getting swindled and pimped (shit) / I call THAT getting tricked by a business…)

oh boy i can't wait to get mine

I'd cop one made out of Egyptian cloth but not one for $120 that says "Kanye" in the neckline lol

[V2DHeart]

I'm sure it only has to contain around a certain percentage of said material before it can be advertised as such. So say (and I don't know this for sure) that only 20% of the T-Shirt is Egyptian cotton, and the rest is other cottons and fibres it may still be able to be legally marketed as an "Egyptian cotton" product.

Personally, I'd bank on pima cotton as it's better guaranteed to be long staple cotton. It's just another example of Hip Hop being about "money" and having to go out and get a piece of cloth on credit. It's ridiculous

LMAO That's exactly the line I thought of when I read the headline.

did you know pringles are not real potato chips?  they only contain 42% potato and the rest is made of rice and flour

I knew they weren't real, like most advertised foods these days, but didn't know the exact percentages lol. But it does demonstrate how what is advertised around us isn't entirely so.

Someone once told me that if you want to "eat" healthy, then simply eat foods that aren't advertised

Yes there is.  No wonder people are in debt, cause of dumb stuff they buy.  But so far 2 my knowledge, Ohio is the only state that has financial management classes.  That should be in jr. high & high school.  Mandatory class to pass.
