Mike I was with you until you said how can an older person learn from a younger person. The smartest person in the room can learn from the dumbest person in the room.
I think the point he was making is that Dapper Dan been doing what he’s done since before Smart was old enough to even do any of this stuff let alone advise on it
@ I know what he meant even still the master can learn from the student. Warren Buffet has gotten advice from many of ppl that has been in the game less than him.
And some are eating up all that BS!! 😂 We'z all kow'z what he'z really promotin... I like Smart but also overstand that he's part a culture of impressionable word salad artist $elling materialism to our yuot'z. 😄
@quintonmiller8266 He repeatedly compared "supporting black owned businesses" to "wearing a dashiki". Those aren't the same at all. He's using the youths ignorance as an excuse to wear designer instead of improving his leadership to convey to the youth, that keeping wealth in our own community is much bigger flex than supporting a white owned designer clothing brands that don't support our community in return.

All your blanks come from another community. If you aren’t taking the raw material and processing it. Throwing African on a t shirt blank from China makes it a black owned company? Come on now. This was stupid and simple.
Yall just listen slow he even used Muhammad Ali as an example looking rich to get attention and then speaking while they listening everyone hears dr umar but if he moved like Floyd mayweather he’d get more attention on his message
@k3ngsfilms338 he tried to clean it up. Only problem is he dressed like Pookie with no rolls royce. He a clown. The guy in the bespoke suit commands respect no matter where he at. The kids would wanna know what he does?
It wouldn’t matter what they wore, blk people don’t know any of their ideas anyway. They were young kids holding guns that didn’t know anything. It was essentially BLM with a more masculine edge. A bunch of misunderstood socialist ideas with no solutions. Malcolm X and Ali, Tomas Sowell are the only actual blk thinkers that had ideas that could actually raise black people. Khalid, Farrakhan also. Black Panthers took nice pictures with guns and gave out free food.

He's just following in the footsteps of Muhammad Ali and y'all are killing him for it because y'all don't even know no better....
Wearing high end European designer while preaching black empowerment sounds a lil bit hypocritical to me. He wants to be relatable so he buys the most expensive designer clothing from European fashion houses to make sure black babies hear his point? I couldn’t imagine Malcolm X draped in Dior or Martin laced in Gucci while preaching black empowerment.
Your approach has to evolve with the times. If Malcom and Martin were alive right now looking how they did back then and speaking the same way they did back then, they would not have the same impact. We can even put the designer aside. Who in a suit right now really has influence over the youth?
@@DrilluppVroyMan that’s some bullsh*t, because every young person isn’t wearing designer clothes and there are young people that could care less about what “Smart” is saying even in his Louis Vitton outfit. The message is what’s important not no damn designer clothes.
It’s very hypocritical, I don’t know anyone take him seriously. The bottom line is dude likes to wear designer and be fly. His reasoning is a load of sh*t, because he should be wearing black designer labels if he’s really about black empowerment.
@@mictza450 Your right. Not every kid cares about designer. However his TARGET AUDIENCE does. There is a time and place for everything and often things have to be presentabe before its acceptable. I asked a question in my previous comment: Who in a suit RIGHT NOW has influence over the youth?

I don’t understand how your expensive clothes make you relatable, that argument didn’t make any sense. He wearing that garbage because he likes it why won’t he just say that instead of trying to defend. Because he just sounds stupid.
I must say he has a major point on being receptive to the younger audience but I don’t believe that’s y he wear it but he knows it will definitely connect him

Right he’s an example of why being self educated isn’t always a good thing. You can tell he has probably read a lot and been exposed to a variety of info and knowledge, but he didn’t quite comprehend it all and he sure can’t explain it. Ppl start to think you’re smart if you use big words & proper terminology but half the time ppl are using the words and terms incorrectly.
@@bazar2021don’t seem like he read shit. He said we don’t have our own language 😭 and said dialect isn’t a language like he was dropping a jewel 😂😂😂 this man is a moron.
Dashiki is African dress. “Blacks” are African in origin, but they have their own culture. There is plenty of black owned and crafted fashion available to purchase. If you can only be “relatable” by wearing LV, perhaps work to change what relatable is.
And there are many in the place where he was born and raised so there is no excuse! Go to Harlem there are a lot of black designers that could use a social media push!
That long ass poor explanation when he could simply admit “ yes it’s a costume “ . Those excuses were terrible too he could literally be putting money in black clothing designer’s pockets and simultaneously helping promote black business. He preaches 24/7 about what “ we “ need to do but probably doesn’t do anything to help our ppl aside from kicking BS knowledge.
@@Legally_Bomb no logic? People wanna know your track record, your success story before they listen. I don’t know who this guy is and he’s not very likable, but there’s obvious truth in what he’s saying
@@TheRelevantUnknownhe's not likeable because he is speaking the truth and people can't handle the truth. And when you go against the grain of the emotionally built system that we are as blacks this what you get an unlikable person look at who Jesus was they didn't like him either. And no I'm not calling him Jesus
Right! And it’s really making black folks look bad because by his logic black people cant pay attention to someone’s message unless they’re wearing designer clothes. The bottom line is he like designer for himself it’s not about reaching the people.
He’s not that SMART..That bs excuse for wearing LV stop it!! Just say you want to flex. I can tell by that condescending tone and the need to talk over talk people is borderline needy. You don’t need to look like a broke rapper to impress “your audience” either you rep your blackness or not. This dude is annoying and not so smart at all!!
@@dannydreadnought-xk4qx Exactly! She wantsto call out a community activist on his blackness, all while wearing a white womans hair on her head. Its insane
I understand the interviewer’s frustration, because dude just can’t be wrong. LV man is kickin his “script”, that’s why he can’t tolerate being wrong, because it’ll derail his conversation.
This is the Golden comment right here! This is facts! They relate more to a Nike tech n a shiesty than a LV jean suit they gonna risk their freedom to get
The Dunning-Kruger Effect: It’s possible to know enough about a subject to think you are correct. But, not enough about a subject to know you are wrong.
lame excuse I doubt his fans will turn on him because he started wearing plain clothing instead of a designer clothes. He gotta be honest & say he WANTS to wear designer
Hahaha talk over the everyone and say a bunch of nothing while looking around the room for approval is the Smart thing to do. The guy in the red shorts had the whole day to listen to this mess and he was repeatedly told to listen by someone who refuses to let him speak. Pure comedy😂😂
I’m so glad that people in the comment section can see the b.s! He just insulted black owned businesses that are trying to come up which he can help represent. If kids see someone they look up to wearing and representing they will emulate you it’s simple human nature! Nonsense!
If you didn’t know Smart has roots in Harlem and ran with certain OG’s in the streets, one of them being Gangsta Lou. Do you know who Gangsta Lou is? He ran in the same circle as Harlem street hustlers Azie, Rich Porter and Alpo. These guys use to get their clothes custom made and tailored by Dapper Dan, even had their car’s interior decorated by him. So how is not possible that Smart personally knows Dapper Dan and gave him some tips?
There’s some value to what he’s saying but he’s also spitting a LOT of cope and creating extreme false binaries like the only option is either Louis Vuitton or Dashikis, complete nonsense. Gallery Department, Denim Tears, Off White, Heron Preston, Fear Of God, cut it out fam. And plenty of white owned brands are printing on blanks and not doing cut and sew for tons of their shit, Streetwear was built on that and still is. Bro got wild defensive and escalated that’s how you know his stance is flimsy, standing on business and putting on an aggressive show are not the same thing
Soon as he started getting riled up it was obvious he had no legit answer for wearing designer clothes while being for the people. And like you said he went from dashikis to LV like there aren’t any clothing options on the planet. And truthfully to imply to that the only way to reach people is to wear designer clothes is truly sad because a lot of people can’t even afford to buy a designer t shirt much less an entire outfit. And some people don’t even wear designer sh*t in the first place.
All Race Hustlers are the same. This 'Smart' Guy is crazy. So if you don't support our people starting their own businesses and it being supported in our community, what are you talking about?
This the most ignorant answer to a question i heard today. All that nonsense he said to come up with that he does not like black designer clothing. He loves european brands, and thats that. He even told us how ignorant he was at 4:50, u can't tell him nothing.
He sounds smart to someone who is dumb. Lol If your mouth game ain’t enough to get them to listen, then that’s what it is. You aren’t “humoring” anyone. Lol
Smart Guy is DUMB...he talked in circles and contradicted himself numerous times. News flash Smart Guy this aint the 90s anymore, no one wears LV like that nor do we care.
He basically saying he was a loser and he dresses to look like a winner for perception! Once you hear prison and crack you have to understand he has to manipulate his way back into society as being ON!! SMH
Poor people paying crazy prices for 10 bucks worth of leather or fabric. just to rock a logo they perceive as wealth like they say a sucker is born everyday just to boost ones self esteem. Unbelievable son 😂😂😂. This man sounds stupid
If anything he should e teaching his “audience” to find black brands to wear. And encourage young people with that gift for designing to create their own brands.
Man I go to my barber shop in the hood every two weeks and I aint seen a barber or customer, young or old in no LV, Gucci or any of that designer clothing.
He's not a good communicator. Everyone doesn't have to agree with you. You talking more and more doesn't make u right. He talks but doesn't listen. He won't make it 😂
I was impressed as a kid by dudes in suits, not brand wear. There were kids in my school who were on welfare that wore better name brands than me. Was never impressed
@@Ishamel88thats a bold face lie. Been in NYC my whole 42 years. South BX and BK. There are literally NOT one kid wearing legit designer label high end fashion clothes out here. Not in the projects, no hoods, .. maybe high income areas but they aint even his target audience.
The point is not what they are wearing, it’s what they aspire to wear. It’s what they admire. So it captivates the youth and captures their attention. Once you have their attention, you can then deliver a message.
I would have rocked with what he was saying, if he tied in the fact that LV stole those designs from African Tribes. but nah, Word salad. He's got a point about not owning textiles. The minute you wear something black owned and it's fire, who cares the fabric was made in another country.
Smart is really dumb when you sit and listen. He keeps talking about he's going to do a lot for the community, but i have yet to see him do a damn thing. He said he was going to teach artists how to get good money independent, and he hasn't shown shit. He said we gotta go back to Africa, and he's still in the U.S. I would love to see Dr. Umar school this guy.

All Race Hustlers are the same. This 'Smart' Guy is crazy. So if you don't support our people starting their own businesses and it being supported in our community, what are you talking about?
Dashikis made in china and mexico!!
Why would they bring this dude on their podcast. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is cringe.
This the most ignorant answer to a question i heard today. All that nonsense he said to come up with that he does not like black designer clothing. He loves european brands, and thats that. He even told us how ignorant he was at 4:50, u can't tell him nothing.
🙏🏽
So basically you're a follower and not a leader?? It's new brands that comes out everyday 😂... Lame to even discredit your own???
Love yours - J Cole
He sounds smart to someone who is dumb. Lol If your mouth game ain’t enough to get them to listen, then that’s what it is. You aren’t “humoring” anyone. Lol
....he was so very wrong with how and what he said... and loud and insulting about it...
Smart Guy is DUMB...he talked in circles and contradicted himself numerous times. News flash Smart Guy this aint the 90s anymore, no one wears LV like that nor do we care.
Smh🤦🏿🤦🏿 i feel dumber listening to this guy
The guy questioning him has on Nikes that are not black on
Most of our clothes are not Black owned.
I also have on black owned clothing from hat, shirt, shades, shirts and socks! Let that sink in.
Louis Vuitton is known for their racial discrimination suits
The guy questioning him is not claiming to be a leader for the youth either.
Lol this is ridiculous ain’t no justification
He basically saying he was a loser and he dresses to look like a winner for perception! Once you hear prison and crack you have to understand he has to manipulate his way back into society as being ON!! SMH
@@TravisJones-ch8cu makes no sense
FACTS!
He saying it ain't no black own clothes, the designers get their material from the same place Louis Vuitton@@sulmellette8812
Poor people paying crazy prices for 10 bucks worth of leather or fabric. just to rock a logo they perceive as wealth like they say a sucker is born everyday just to boost ones self esteem. Unbelievable son 😂😂😂. This man sounds stupid
If anything he should e teaching his “audience” to find black brands to wear. And encourage young people with that gift for designing to create their own brands.
questioning a black man for wearing LV while you are wearing nike is outrageous 😂
I think you missed the point and from the way you spelled outrageous I can see exactly why
Nike actually pays "Blacks" to promote or wear their brands. Name a "Black" that LV does that for?
Outrageous*
Exactly, fake conscious dudes kill me. 😂
Talking shit when you can't even spell or grasp basic grammar is likewise OUTRAGEOUS....
Smart guy is telling the truth.
He probably should’ve led with “I like what I like” then stood on that and he wouldve made his point 8 minutes ago.
Checkmate!!! He got you Smart.
thank you to the dude for pushing back
This guy is capping. How many kids in the hood can even afford LV?
Man I go to my barber shop in the hood every two weeks and I aint seen a barber or customer, young or old in no LV, Gucci or any of that designer clothing.
📽 I RATHER BE SMART THAN SOUND LIKE IM SMART 🎬
💯
I don’t care how smart that dude is he’s contradicting his message point blank then he tries to use reverse psychology to justify it
He's not a good communicator. Everyone doesn't have to agree with you. You talking more and more doesn't make u right. He talks but doesn't listen. He won't make it 😂
Name like smart sounding dumb
I was impressed as a kid by dudes in suits, not brand wear. There were kids in my school who were on welfare that wore better name brands than me. Was never impressed
Right. He don't wanna separate himself from the street guys. Why would a kid listen to him? He look and sound like the dude in Marcy Projects. Smdh
How many kids are wearing designer in the hood
A lot in nyc
Not alot
@@Ishamel88thats a bold face lie. Been in NYC my whole 42 years. South BX and BK. There are literally NOT one kid wearing legit designer label high end fashion clothes out here. Not in the projects, no hoods, .. maybe high income areas but they aint even his target audience.
@@StopHating-n8cthank you.
The point is not what they are wearing, it’s what they aspire to wear. It’s what they admire. So it captivates the youth and captures their attention. Once you have their attention, you can then deliver a message.
"I wear LV because its the only way I can get people to listen to me." Doesnt sound very smart to me.
Exactly. Look at the clip of the dude stopping them kids from fighting. He was dressed like a bum but they all listened to him
He still didn't explain how he put Dapper Dan on, he explained back line fact about industry. Kinda showed his youth in this conversation.
He didn't say he put him on. He said he shared an idea with him and gave him the blueprint on how to do it.
I GOD SAID IN THE bible, the blind leading the blind
He looks like the RAPPERS HE'S AGAINST 😂😂😂😂
I would have rocked with what he was saying, if he tied in the fact that LV stole those designs from African Tribes. but nah, Word salad. He's got a point about not owning textiles. The minute you wear something black owned and it's fire, who cares the fabric was made in another country.
Lol he got stuck when he said you taught Dapper Dan 😅😅😅😅😅
Smart is really dumb when you sit and listen. He keeps talking about he's going to do a lot for the community, but i have yet to see him do a damn thing. He said he was going to teach artists how to get good money independent, and he hasn't shown shit. He said we gotta go back to Africa, and he's still in the U.S. I would love to see Dr. Umar school this guy.
I WAS BOUT TA SAY HIS DAD WAS NOT THERE SOOOOO HE PULL IN THAT OVER ON KIDS- NAAAAAAAAH WE DON'T NEED SON TALKIN TO OUR YOUTHS WEARING BULL SH......
"I haven't seen a lot of black designers that got fly shit"- 1000% facts.
Where do you think the high end fashion houses get their ideas. That is a well known fact of the fashion industry. Educate yourself
Each word he speaks contradicts the last. Bro Smart just talk to Juvies bro, stay away from the youth. Modern day prison babble in Louie lol
Right!
Brother polight used the same logic and justification for all that rabbit shit he was doing well see how that turned out..
💯
