Kanye West is Really The Louis Vuitton Don

Kanye West album cover

Takashi Murakami

Murakami Bag

What does Murakami and Kanye West have in common other than helping trend-set Louis Vuitton handbags?

Well, expect colorful packaging and design for Kanye's new album, Graduation, designed by the bag man himself, Takashi Murakami. Kanye left no stone unturned for this highly anticipated album. Takashi's art can sell for as much as $425,000. It pays to have people in high places!

    I love this artist. I once crashed a small grafiti party in which he was one of the featured muralists. It was a highlight in the life Valentine. As for Mr. West, he's doing a bang up job at keeping yet another white man rich.

    I wonder hum much kick back Kanye is getting from LVMH for all this. Probably nothing. They just give him a free lifetime supply of Louis Vuiton...Niggas! I mean Negroes! Can't wait for the CD though, I'll be pirating it!

    Ray- I dont think people with their right mind would even rock these anymore. I hated those bags when they first came out. But none the less, the artist himself is very talented. You should check out some of his art.
