Jay- Z Never Pulled the Occupy Wall Street Shirts – They were Just Sold Out!!

Earlier this week we posted that the Occupy All Streets T-Shirts were pulled from the Roc A Wear website due to the media backlash that Jay-Z received after reports that he was not going to share any of the profits with the Occupy Wall Street protesters.  They went as far as to call him a scrotum.

Jay-Z, as talented as he is, has the political sensibility of a hood rat and is a scrotum.

I also reported that Jay-Z probably loss very little sleep over the whole issue.  Well I was wrong, he loss no sleep, well maybe he did….because he was up counting his money.  The shirts weren’t pulled from the site, they were all sold out. On the Roc 4 Life website they wrote,

Holy smokes. Those “Occupy All Streets” t-shirts are selling out faster than Rick Perry can name three agencies. If you missed out on the first batch, we’ve got your back like scoliosis. Rocawear has already restocked the fancy black tops — available in all sizes via Rocawear.com.

Inspired by JAY-Z and Kanye West’s “Watch The Throne” tour, the short sleeve tee sports a ribbed crew neckline and a graphic text print saying, “Occupy All Streets” at front. A Rocawear logo sits at top back.

Hop on over to Rocawear.com to grab your own “Occupy All Streets” tee. Also perfect for a holiday gift.

I love that!  Inspired by the “Watch the Throne” tour.  No props to the Wall Street protestors.  If that was never happening these shirts would still have been created.  (wink, wink).  To be fair Rocawear never said that they wouldn’t donate money they just said there was “no official commitment”.  Russell Simons also jumped on twitter to defend Jay-Z,

“No one ever said the proceeds were not going to the cause that’s media’s spin,”

Well, they have taken Media spin and turned it into Media “Spend”.  The shirts are definitely back on the site:

Just toss another couple of $1000’s to Jay-Z’s $450 Million and keep hating.  All the negative publicity has just made these shirts,  that much hotter.
