"Ralph Lauren was borin, before i wore em"???

We all know Kanye and his swag is huge. Some may see him as cocky and a bit of an ass, but for me thats why Kanye is who he is. He hasn't been afraid to be different. Love him or hate him you, whether you admit it or not you've gotta respect what Kanye does. His impact on fashion is huge. Its been a minute since Kanye proclaimed "Ralph Lauren was borin before i wore em" in Rhymefest's song Brand New. Recently, I've been finishing up research on Ralph Lauren for a presenatation for school. Doin this project has definitely enlightened me on one of the most influential men in fashion history. I thought i knew the basics on RL but i was wrong. He did things and started trends that I didnt even think about it.His brand has become a lifestyle that many have come to love and follow. RL has been around for decades doin his thing. I'm sure Kanye meant no disrespect to RL, but it was stil a hot line. Reading info on RL I would go as far as saying that RL was Kanye before Kanye. RL did not take any bullshit when he was starting his line. If it wasn't his way he wasn't havent it. His confidence and determination has help him build an empire that is worth billions. If you really look into RL you could say that Kanye took a page from his book to work his way to the top. On DNRNEWS.COM'S yearly power rankings there is no surpise that Ralph Lauren is on the top of the list and his company is worth $4.88 billion. Ultimaltely, what I'm really doin is givin props. I'm not takin anything from Kanye, just thinking a little bit out of the box.haha. It's ironic that Kanye said what he said in that song because his road to success mirrors that of RL's. No matter what, just the fact that RL is in hip hop rhymes and songs shows what he's become, a fashion icon that has forever etched his name in fashion history as one of the best. Game recognize game, so Kanye u should too...because RL had swag way before you.
