    i was right

    Kanye West can't stop talking about Gap.

    The 37-year-old briefly worked for the chain retailer as a teen growing up in Chicago and, by his own account, did not enjoy it. In his 2004 song "Spaceship," from his debut album The College Dropout, West rapped that he made "no scratch" at the retailer, so he stole from it and eventually quit. Still, it was obviously a formative experience for him.

    He credited the store with inspiring his passion for style in the piece, which focused on the importance of helping others in the quest to be creative. One of West's many artistic ventures was designing a line for athletic company Adidas for the fall.

    "When I was working at the Gap at 15, I don't think I had any desire to actually make clothes, but I always felt like that's what I wanted to be around," he wrote. "I loved the fabrics, I loved the colors, I loved the proportions. Abercrombie [& Fitch] was too expensive for me and the Gap was too expensive for me. Even though I worked at the Gap, I didn't get enough hours to get a discount because I was a part-time employee, because I went to high school."
