Jay-Z Pulls Occupy Wall Street T-Shirts Amid Criticism He Wasn't Giving Back To The Cause "Jay-Z Has The Political Sensibility Of A Hood Rat" Says One Protestor

 

Jay-Z has decided to pull his Occupy Wall Street themed t-shirts from Rocawear's website amid criticism he was trying to profit from the movement without giving anything back to the cause.

 

The plan was to sell the t-shirts emblazoned with the phrase "Occupy All Streets" for $22 with all of the money going back to the company.

 

"Jay-Z, as talented as he is, has the political sensibility of a hood rat and is a s******," says Grim, described as one of the leaders of the Occupy movement by TMZ. "To attempt to profit off of the first important social moment of 50 years with an overpriced piece of cotton is an insult to the fight for economic civil rights known as #occupywallstreet."

 

A spokesperson for Rocawear confirmed to Gawker.com a couple of days ago that the company had no plans to share the wealth at this time.

 

The 'Occupy All Streets' T shirt was created in support of the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. 'Occupy All Streets' is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.
TMZ reports they have been trying to contact Hov's camp for two days with no luck.

@thisisme.....I am not saying that you shouldn't give a fvck. I am saying that you should impose your will and do what it is that you want to do. I don't care if they roll tanks down las vegas blvd, I will still get what I want because while I live in this country, I submit to a higher authority and nothing that this govt does can stop me from doing what I want to do. I am fortunate to have a great life and lots of material items but they mean nothing to me. they are just tools to accomplish what I want to do on this planet. Kill your TV and do whatever it is that you want in order to create sustainability for you and your family. When the money comes, you will experience the same feeling. Keep in mind that it isn't the money that makes you feel this way though. It's the power that you have developed in order to obtain the money. Corp greed will not go away. corrupt leaders and banks won't either. Don't pay it any attention. Get to the top of your mountain.
It's funny because when you don't have much, the banks appear evil because they won't work with you because they don't care about you. When you have resources, the phone rings off the hook with calls from banks wanting in on the action. If you listen to me, you can someday tell the banks to fvck off just like they used to do to you. It's liberating.

Maybe Jay does not have to give back as most of you are saying... but the fact is that he is trying to PROFIT off of a movement that is AGAINST corporate greed and economic inequality. Despite the "different" messages you hear from the crowd, that is the main reason these people have been protesting. Anyone who doesn't see the irony in this is just blind!

@richard allan i agree with of some of your views but to say this movement is a waste of time is bullsht,they go on strike or protest in hopes that others will follow and realize whats going on,clearly you understand and im sure lots others do to but wont go protest,and another thang this movement opens the thought up to others who become curious,search and ask questions,and our u.s news media dont help because they make this movement what ever they want yall to think it to be,just saying,but i feel you on some things homie,peace

some of yall say watch the news or news paper thats cool,but dont forget who owns sum of them news stations and papers also dont forget who founded our school systems,major bankers back in the day founded these things,(google/youtube Search it) and isnt weird sum of the news anchors been on the same station or had there show for so long,for example bill oReilly,i knew nothing of him till 911,i really started to hear bout him and few others but then i realize they been around for long,same job working for the same people,just a thought,why no one here talking bout the "federal reserve bank" easily youtube search that s*** and find out more,just a thought. our US debt is 15,000,000,000,000, my grand children (if i ever get any) will still be paying tax money to pay of these debt/loans our govt ask for,the facts our there,search,and another thang this internet starting to be problem,to much truth out there,lol fuccing up the system,all thoughts.

@richard allan i think we all know we have to pull our own weight and get are hustle on but because of our govt wrong doings and greed and bail outs to major corporations we have to work 10x harder,wages stay the same but prices go up now wheres the good in that,i dont think most people askin for a hand out but a change in the system to better every one,we all should be able to work a decent job and get a decent pay to afford a nice living for our self on our own no matter what job we got.Now you say "it wont change" so what we suppose just sit back and not give a fucc and lets this go on?they want us not to give a fucc they want us occupied with our lifes,work work work till your boooty squirt and happy times and sex drugs music sports and what ever else will keep us busy and not ask questions and have no time to research the truth,lot of people our waking up and it worrys me because they will know when we are waking up and take drastic measures to dumb us down,just my opinion tho,Fear is powerful way to control a population,just saying.imagine how many people out there are not aware whats going on in our govt and the system and we wounder why s*** fucced,we half the problem too for not giving a fucc,i use to not give a fucc im to blame,any one out there wanna wake up as well just search the "u.s government" on youtube click something that gets your attentions then look at the related videos then keep on,bet you will do a whole 360 every thang you watch will add up. anyways just my opinions and thoughts not tellin any one to change your lifes or how to think,the research is there if you dont like or believe some ones opinions you can always google search it for your self,and you if really wanna see how sleep this world is look at the "trends" on twitter World wide it un-useful topics 95% of the time.to @richard allan i respect your opinion we all have the right to free speech and one day that might be taken away as well,divided we fall but united we can talk and understand,peace and positive energy to all you mofos,lol
