Feb 8, 2015Come on man, I know you're actually a smart person and don't have this poor of reading comprehension. He just said that Nike is what caused him to make those songs, not that that's what they are explicitly about. I don't care about his shoes or pay attention to his fashion ventures, but if him feeling like he got s--- on by the fashion industry as a black man is what got him angry enough to make a song like New Slaves (which, yes, he does talk about fashion, but it's also very explicitly about the prison industrial complex), then that's fine by me.
