[katch320]

Karl Kani for life, the originator!!! :-)

[powerhousephg]

why do white people always have to end sentences with "man" when they're talking to black people?

[EriPages]

@powerhousephg

cuz they can't say "my 'nigga'" lol

[jaymitch23]

He didn't realize at that time of the interview he could have written a book just to answer his question and make even more money. lol

[HIMYNAMEISEVAN]

This man is BRILLIANT!!!

[Hawthornage]

FUBU is ghetto as shit. Just like South Pole.

[Shiba360]

LRG for life!

[georgialife1976]

I can see the internet exposes a lot of uneducated dumb asses. Ignorant fucks always on here making comments with a six grade education. What part of billion you do not understand, he turned nothing into something. Now what about your broke asses?

Farmers Used to By Us

[Wilforknowledge]

@ericsyutubeaccount *buy

[ericsyutubeaccount]

@Wilforknowledge its not cool to correct typos, only legit spelling mistakes

[Wilforknowledge]

@ericsyutubeaccount Don't be so sensitive. I think we can all agree that if you're going to say something ignorant, at least proof-read it. And I don't give a french fry what is cool or not.

[ericsyutubeaccount]

@Wilforknowledge i didnt realize ignorance and anything involving thought process went together

[awosufan12]

Is it me or is Fubu slowly coming back in style.. I seem to see more people rocking it these days surprisingly.. but you still won't catch me in my old fubu gear though

[cashboy627]

lol lol lol thats some ugly ass shit

[mryuck206]

Sorry to piss in everybody's punch bowl but FUBU never meant "for us by us". That's a "backronym" meaning people made it up after the name came out. FUBU stood for "five urban brothers united". Sorry guys!

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@mryuck206

Is Mr.John the soul owner of F.U.B.U at this point? Or are his partners still involved?

[gedaman]

@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING LOL "soul owner"? Does he really have soul?

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@gedaman

I don't know anything about the man's Soul.I'm just speaking in terms of business.

[kdm6212]

[SUPERSILVERH8ORADE]

@HuckeysWorld loool. white people are so sad. we don't stick our nose in your business and try and make witty remarks about it we just don't care. You are jealous.

[JLOVE12able]

[heroinhero69]

i'd never wear fubu, but you can't deny the man is a admirable for what he has done

[xanos4225]

Despite what you think of FUBU as far as fashion quality or whatever, you got to hand it to that guy. He's living the true American Dream.

[coolmint191]

fouled out beyond use

[julioabruno2254]

Garbage

[dutyfan11]

FUBU is the ghetto crap. Gucci for ever

[pmpspot]

[Usama600]

whats better, FUBU or Southpole?

[pmpspot]

@Usama600 fubu is much better southpole sucks

[DiverseLA]

I used to rock FUBU. From about 1998-2003.

Now it's funny I think it looks ridiculous when you see someone still wearing it today.

[JSlashPSlash2009]

For Us By Us.

Fubu was the shit back in the days, and i still wear it. Fuck preppy clothes, and skinny jeans.

[tuvmush]

@JSlashPSlash2009 hell yea im there with you skinny jeans are reterded and look like women pants, can anyone say justin bieber???? and wranglers suck ass............. fubu all the way and im white lol, i just want apair of jeans that dont hug my fucking nuts and dont strangle my legs.... please fubu please come back

[samuraiyao]

Very smart business man, to bad the product is aimed at idiots who think that extra large parachute over sized coached jackets is a fashion statement...

[flagship21]

how can some one build an empire on 40 dollars

[JustineClayton1]

thats my uncle...he owns coggi and much more..

[MXDSouldier]

FUBU stands for Farmers Used to Beat Us.

[bigomamma]

southpole is the new fubu

[fadia4131]

tennislpz} He still made billions i'm thinking he don't need you money..... Bye hater

[tennislpz]

I WOULD NEVER WEAR A FUBU BRAND!

[DurtyHarrys]

and why? FASHIST!

[thepaperchaser39563]

inspirational

[DBZmovie2008]

I used to love me some fubu jerseys, but went out of style like 03 04,

[bloodrunna59]

who care dawg go old school

[bigomamma]

actually, they kinda went back in style, just a lil bit.

[GeorgeJr6]

no/

[drufuss2006]

@DBZmovie2008 Went out of style in the states, not outside the US

[AgrivatedKillah]

@DBZmovie2008 Hahaha where im from everybody had platinum fubu with fat albert on them.

[owiz22]

bravo. Thats a progressive brother

[greatgmasta]

Not that his product wasn't good, it was just the fact that his cloths was too damn exspenicive.

[bigomamma]

i liked fubu, but it kinda went outta style in 2005 or 2006

[criznueve]

I never like Fubu but I do respect the way they redefine urban wear. Too bad the company has regressed in the last 3-4 years. Are they reshuffling their designers? If not, they should. Fubu needs young blood. Though their suits look great for retail stores. They are popular internationally.

[flyshaq34]

damn i remeber when i use to wear that fat albert fubu

[Rucks90]

yea, lol I didn't even knew who was Fat Albert until he was part of the Fubu brand.

[10Xcrazy]

fubu was the whackest gear ever made i rather wear some lee pants instead

[dingaan99]

FUBU--- FARMERS USE to BUY US

[tennislpz]

jajaja

[ILoveGoodFellas]

I bought the book, and read it twice. See you at the top, Daymond !

[585bouie]

I really liked this clip. I've heard of FUBU and even own some boots, but I never knew who started it and i'm inspired, That makes this clip worthwhile.  Thanks!!

[SirReginald1]

Thank you for posting this informative interivew. Please post more inspirational clips if you can.

Peace.
