That's all that matters. I don't shop at GAP but I just hope it doesn't get shut down. The rumors in business world are starting that they will shut a bunch down in the next year. @ SHAY – keep doin what you are doing with your own style that fits you. That’s all that matters.

I'm African American, dress pretty conservatively..so yeah it works for me. I love seeing all the brown faces in the campaigns but I don't know if it will sway other brown faces to shop there. We shall see. Ok some of y’all are trying to give me a complex..I shop the Gap faithfully for casual clothes. I’m African American, dress pretty conservatively..so yeah it works for me.

I rock GAP every once in awhile and I'm not ashamed, they just trying to reach out for more dollars and cents. Is that Napoleon Dynamite with Janelle?

When they shut down a couple hundred stores Circuit City style in Q1 2009 you will know they didnt pull it off. Besides they got serious branding issues if you wanna talk on that level. We all know that Gap is for the white folk. - Thats not racist Yeti. Thats the truth. Thats the real perception out there. Its too "white" no matter if they got hip hop R&B whatever.

First of all those first couple artists are from Atlantic Records where they cut a deal. PErsonally, it's not hip-hop music fans, I still think it is people like me (African-American, decent income, working) that would be on the fence about going in The Gap. I been in once or twice. I would say they are trying to reach us on the fence guys and then also get us in the store for gift giving. 10% AA? Id buy that. I even seen more workers too.
