Vybz Kartel On Bringing Back Clarks, "F*ck Clarks"
Although was all the same a loved make by many Jamaicans over the years, Vybz Kartel is the human behind the resurgence of the classic brand from a period of drouth.
Makes us wonder if Vybz Kartel got any credit or deal from the famous British shoe make. The answer is NO.
In a recent interview with MTViggy, the "Dancehall Hero" deejay said he was but "expressing" himself when he did the song Clarks, that went on to be i of the biggest dancehall hits in 2010.
"They would accept to be the ones to approach me because what I do is music. If I tin can capitalize on something, I'one thousand going to practise it. I said what the f! I take a passion for moving something equally old school as Clarks and bring it to the forefront of a new generation. So that's when I decided I wanted my ain line of shoes. F**k Clarks. When I did the song, I was expressing myself. It's not that I was similar "hey, I'thousand going to do the song and get a deal." No. I had like 50 pairs of Clarks when I did the song, so that was an expression of me, Vybz Kartel."
Vybz Kartel said he think it was selfish of them (Clarks) to not credit him for bringing dorsum the brand to a new generation.
"I could think that style, just it would be very selfish of me. Just equally how it would be very selfish of them not to acknowledge that Vybz Kartel has done a lot for them. Ane of the advertizement companies for Clarks actually had my video on the site without fifty-fifty maxim "yo Kartel, thank you for doing s**t for us, we're going to ship yous a container load of Clarks." So I had my publicist take it down. I'm self made, I am my own visitor. Probably if I was signed to, say, Sony, and did a song like that and it got that much recognition, I would have gotten a deal. Simply [no], because I am this one-man army in Jamaica."
Do you remember Clarks should credit Vybz Kartel for bringing back their brand?
