Kanye Visited Occupy Wall Street In $355 Givenchy Plaid & $1000 Balmain Jeans

Today is the day Kanye went on down to join the 99% (of which he’s not a part, despite having taken out loans recently) at Occupy Wall Street. He wore plaid. Givenchy plaid.

The rapper paired his $355 shirt with what we believe are Balmain jeans, as well as man bracelets and the Yeezy-not-Weezy necklace he debuted at his Paris fashion show. The internet also reports Kanye was sporting a gold grill, but we know those are just his (permanent) gold and diamond crowns.

‘Ye attended the protest with his buddy Russell Simmons, who described the experience to Global Grind (yes, the blog he owns):

“It was amazing to see how people loved seeing Kanye West at Occupy Wall Street. His music and his art has always been about the voice and the power of the people. Kanye just wanted to come down and experience the growing movement that has opened the eyes of many around this country and around the world of the struggles of poor people. The energy at Liberty Plaza was electrifying and the momentum to get the money out of politics is growing quickly.”

So, yeah, that happened. And apparently people really didn’t mind having the famous 1%-ers around for a bit.

  • Excuses

    Lenders made loans to people they knew couldn’t afford them because the government (under Dem control at the time) forced the banks to ease up on lending standards because liberals think home ownership is a right and everyone, even those not responsible enough to do so, should own a house. It used to be banks had lending standards, people had to save up a down payment, prove they had the income to pay back the loan. Under the Community Reivestment Act, banks were forced to lend to losers and deadbeats with no document loans (people didn’t have to prove they had jobs or the ability to pay!) and interest only loans. While the banks pushed the limits in many cases, lets not forget for a minute who made the regulations and interefered with PRIVATE industry by totally changing the lending industry from a common sense approach to a “every deserves the same, we can’t hurt their feelings even if the writing is on the wall of how much it will fail” liberal mindset and forced “equality”.

    So if you want to blame the lenders, fine, but also put a big hunk of that blame on Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, Clinton, and every other bleeding heart liberal/Marxist sitting in their mansion while crying about “fairness” for the unwashed masses they manipulate in order to gain more control and more money.

    Also, lets put a big heap of blame on the $25,000/yr. salaried bus driver who was greedy and used a no-doc interest only loan to buy a $500,000 house they should not have been buying had anyone bothered to hit them over the head with a common sense stick and then cried victim when they found out an ADJUSTABLE rate mortgage actually meant *gasp* that the rate would change, which would make their payments change *oh the horror, the were too stupid to understand the meaning of adjustable or asks questions before signing* or the folks who decided to take advantage of the pretty much non-existant lending standards (thanks to liberals in government) to take out home equity loans to 100% of their property value. Sure, blame the lenders for following the backwards and financially irresponsible regulations imposed on them by the liberals in government, but also take a hard look at the people who were stupid enough to think the economy would never change, that their low salary was enough to afford them a mansion, or that they would never have to actually repay their debt. I know there are a lot of good people who are upside down on their houses, I am on of them due to the crash, but I’m not complaining because I bought a house that was within my means and not a square foot more, I saved for years to have a 20% down payment the way it used to be, and made sure I had enough in savings to cover the payments should I lose my job, and I got a fixed rate mortgage because I took a minute to consider the pitfalls of what happens with am ARM after the first few years. Its called personal responsibiltiy, something which Americans used to value and be proud of, something which we used to teach our children.

    Kanye West is a closet capitalist. He was a previous owner in the Fat Burger franchise, has made a fortune sponsoring various designers products and through the music industry. On top of that, his recent hit single ‘Power’ was recorded for the soundtrack “Limitless” which involves a movie consisting of the main character using Wall Street to leverage capital and exponentially create massive profits. For him to support these protests is hypocritical and I’m sure he won’t be phased about it when he jumps into his private jet and tours the country. If him and these other liberal elitists really sympathize with these protests, they should give away all of their fortunes to the less fortune, not hypocritically walk around in a gold chain and $300 shirt and pretend that capitalism hasn’t attributed to his success.

    It is not about what Kanye is wearing or how much it costs….It is about the hypocrisy of this useful idiot that many see by a super rich, capitalist loving rapper. You think he puts his money in a mattress? He invests it through companies associated with Wall Street so he gets a bigger return. That is called capitalism. What pisses off many is that while he feels entitled to this privilege, others are not. That is implied by this idiot’s appearance at the protests that target the very institutions that keep and make him richer….Kanye, Sarandon, Moore, Obama, Belefonte, etc…etc are destroying a system that made them rich because they got theirs and now they want to be a part of a system (Marxism/Socialism) that will deny that ability to everyone else to make their dreams come true. It is all about power over everyday people…..Kanye is all about Kanye and he would pee on everyone at that protest to keep and grow his millions to include every other limousine liberal out their. In essence that is what he did by showing up in $1,400 cloths and more gold chains than Mr. T. What is even more amazing is that the protesters fawned all over of him while he did.

    I wanted to be free with other creatures like me

    And now I got my wish, cause i know that I’m a gay fish (gay fish)

    (Gay fish Yo) mother fuckin’ gay fish

    (I’m a fish yo) goin’ on a gay fish

    In the frozen fish aisle feelin’ like a whore

    Cause I wasn’t being true

    Even though everyone said that I had to make a switch

    (Gay fish) now I know that I’m a gay fish (gay fish)

    (I’m a fish yo) Goin’ on a gay fish

    (Now I’m where i belong girl) makin’ love to other gay fish

    *Verse 3 Rap*

    I used to be scared, denying who I was

    Acting straight but then going out to the gay fish clubs

    Dancing with the Marlins making out with the all the Snappers

    I’d take a Salmon home and work that Coddle Fin for hours

    But now I’m out and I’m free to love what I want

    Be it Yellow Fin or Bass or them trout in Vermont

    I slapped that Holland ass, make that Grouper butt shake

    I’ll come to your house and have an orgy in your motherfuckin’ fish tank (fish tank, fish tank)

    *Chorus*

    Mother fuckin’ gay fish

    (I’m a fish yo) Goin’ on a gay fish

    (Yeah now I’m where i belong girl) makin’ love to other gay fish

    When i say I’ve got crabs I mean it literally

    I was eating dinner and just had to go down on that Mackerel on the dish

    Cause I’m the gayest of the gay fish (gay fish)

    *Chorus*

    Mother fuckin’ gay fish

    (I’m a fish yo) Goin’ on a gay fish

    Yeah now I’m where i belong girl

    *Verse 5*

    But I gotta settle down I can’t be a whore

    I ain’t gonna just sleep with any fish no more

    I’ve found me a lover, a brother who’s a cross-dressing Cod named Trish

    And together we are gay fish (gay fish)

    So you and Kayne can be the ones to set the standard of ‘too rich’ and us peasants should just accept that.  If charges havent been brought by now, its because your big government made itself culpable and cant be prosecuted. 

    To call the people calling out kayne ‘poor bitter losers’ belies your true ideology.  You are an elitist, who wants people who are ‘stupider’ than you to shutup and listen.  It is because of this, that you will never be able to understand the rights views and will ultimatly lead to your downfall at the behest of these deadbeats.

    Well, Dan C, thanks for an intelligent, well thought-out discussion of the issues.  Glad that you remembered the first rule of progressive debate — when you are wrong (i.e., always), start by insulting others. Then go smoke some weed in the park and defecate on a police car. Thanks for reinforcing the stereotype.

    give it up west, your boy said he wanted level playing field, so give it to the occupiers, because as soon as this gets  really ugly , they will take it anyway. HEHEHE Dan C this is black and white! no pun- but do you not find it ‘insensitive that west wore that much bling, when the ‘masses’ in the park are ‘suffering so’!

    Let’s see now. 300 million people. That would make 1% equal to about 3 million people. So there are 3 million people ripping off the system? And the “Occupants” claim they are the 99% but there’s, at most, a few thousand of them out there. That would make it somewhere around 0.001% claiming to speak for the majority. I’m no math major, but this doesn’t compute.

    If it wasn’t for idiots like those occupying Wall Street….  Kanye wouldn’t have a career that afforded him $350 for rent; so of course he’s going down there to support the hand that feeds him.  While he’s there, I’m sure he’ll show just how diverse he is and how offended he is by racist remarks like those now being hurled at Herman Cain, after all who can forget this quote from Kanye in 2006 (“If it wasn’t for race mixing there’d be no video girls. Me and most of our friends like mutts a lot. Yeah, in the hood we call ‘em mutts!”)

    Yes. A nobel doesn’t mean anything this day and age. People are calling for a treasonous army pfc to receive it, and also julian assange, wasn’t a NPC also awarded to “the joke of the scientific world” a.ka. Al Gore for his fear mongering on “climate change”? You also seem to forget that people have agendas, and that there are more than one way to skin a cat,… socialism, communism, free market capitalism, ect. Being a nation that was intended to be the home of free men, we are capitalist, men either make it or don’t on their own accord. If you wish to live in a country that is not capitalist, I suggest you try cuba (I hear the beaches are great!), or NK (Spring is LOVELY!).

  • Dalovelykb

    would it been better if he ask his stylist to buy some clothes for target or Walmart so he can please and blend in with the masses? that would had been offensive to dress “poor or urban” who cares what he wears? After the protests he is still rich?  No one is ever happy….you’ll damned if you do damn if you don’t!  That’s why a lot of rich people just write a check because someone will ALWAYS have something to say.

  • Jennyminsook

    He may not be the 99% but let’s make a clear distinction that there is a difference between the rich who are corrupting our political and financial systems versus those who are not.  My great grandfather died as a millionaire but during this life-time, he has never bribed a politician or stolen an election with his money.  In fact, he had no ambitions to change the political system or policies for personal gains.  Instead, he questioned  and challenged his authorities.  He saw our socials problems and tried to help as best as he could. He believed that his descendants are not entitled to his money and gave most of it away to to charities.  ( I should know..I didn’t inherit a penny when he passed away). So please do make the distinctions that not all rich people are alike and causing a witchhunt like they are all guilty.

    Hey I
    got an idea why don’t we take the Lexus down to that protest site, you know the
    one down on Wall Street and check out the site, sounds and people there it
    could be fun and who knows we might have a good time rubbing elbows with the

    The difference is that Kanye West generates all of his income based off of HIS creations and his alone. If anything he probably works with a very small team. Whereas you got these fat asses in fucking suits n ties profiting off of the hard work, backs and labor of OTHER people, hundreds and even thousands…and the real kicker? They pay them around FIVE HUNDRED TIMES LESS than what they keep. THAT is why you can never compare celebrities who accrue a small fortune over decades after having put themselves through whatever it took to ready that talent (probably another decade prior) and then shopping that talent/skill  (overexposing their personal selves in the process), thus effectively enriching themselves based off of their very own merits and no one elses, to slimy scumbags who propagate the policy of pretty much fucking thousands of people out of their own hard earned money. Can you dig that?
