Amber Rose VS Kim Kardashian

This is a comparison post of Kim and Amber Rose. I'm not going to talk about the beef because I don't care. I'm writing this because I have felt for a while that Amber Rose is the black Kim Kardashian. Yes, Amber Rose is black. If there is anyone who can knock Kim off her pedestal, it would be Amber Rose. They both have that thing about them, they have a nice look, and an enviable body. They also don't have much talent. If Amber Rose plays her cards right, she could be the next Kim Kardashian but she isn't and here's why:

  1. Kim will never go away because she has an entire family. Kris Jenner played that smart because if people get tired of one Kardashian, there are ten more that can replace them. Amber Rose is just Amber Rose. If they get sick of her, they get sick of her.
  2. Kim is better at hiding her hoe past. We know Kim is a hoe but for some reason people forgive her hoeness. Amber is a hoe and people constantly bring it up. Kim had a sex tape and probably slept her way to where she is but she has been able to create a wholesome image, which is helped by her a making this a family business. If anyone mentions Kim's hoe past or the sex tape, Kris Jenner makes a phone call and it goes away. Kim also has enough products and endorsements that she can steer the conversation away from it. What has Amber Rose done to deter from her hoe past? Nothing. She keeps talking about it and defending it. Take a page from Kim's book and deter the conversation to something else.
  3. Amber and Kim have friends in high places bur Amber hasn't used them right. Amber has burned a lot of bridges while Kim treads carefully. Amber has been caught lying on multiple occasions and she had a mini beef with Vibe that guaranteed she'll never be on another cover. Besides the marriage debacle, Kim hasn't been involved in anything. You may hear nasty personal stories about her but you don't hear anyone who has worked with Kim say anything bad about her. Amber gets sent home with a wet bottom while Kim gets the same wet bottom and a business deal. Take notes.
  4. Kim is good for business, while Amber isn't. Kim is love her or hate her but you can't ignore her, while Amber is sometimes eh. Amber has an unique look and could definitely do more with what she has. Kim has a fairly common look and parlayed that into the it look. Amber should have the modeling world on lock but she doesn't. 
  5. Kim puts her career first and Amber is running around the country with Wiz Khalifa, who just upgraded to a b-list rapper. If you watch KUWTK, the wedding special, and KKTNY, you will see that Kim does not put anything or anyone above her career. This may be a draw because Amber will probably be with Wiz for a while and Kim will probably be single for a while.
  6. Kim has multiple streams of income. She has multiple shows, magazine covers, endorsements, clothing line, websites, etc. Kim will be making money for years. Amber has one endorsement, Smirnoff, and I have yet to see that commercial anywhere. I've noticed that the Kardashians stay away from drug and alcohol endorsements.
  7. Kim is very wise about her brand. She is mindful of her look, image, and body. She realizes her image is her brand and she acts very accordingly. Amber seems all over the place. She needs to realize that the bald head is synonymous with "Amber Rose" and she needs to quit experimenting with ugly wigs. Her image has also been slipping lately. 
  8. Kim doesn't do anything for free. She does some stuff for free but she doesn't allow the use of her image or her personal life unless she's getting paid. A lot of people use this against the Kardashians but I'm all for it. This is their bread and butter and they need to eat too. Amber is spilling all the tea for free. She's on blogs promoting her personal life and whatever else but she doesn't get paid from blog exposure. 
Kim clearly wins this one. Amber needs a better plan. She needs to sit down with Kim and Kris, after profusely apologizing for her comments, and have them come up with a plan for her. Amber, you're on minute 13 and you need to revamp.
