I Got 99 Problems, and My Shirt is One.
Hustler of the Day: Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing label just released its Occupy Wall Street solidarity shirt, inviting you “to show your support for the Occupy Wall Street Movement…with a dope tee.”
And while you’re showing your support for Occupy Wall Street with Hova’s (potentially plagiarized) ode to anti-greed, the brand will be showing its support for Regular Wall Street by making bank.
When asked by Business Insider if any of the proceeds will be going to benefit OWS, a Rocawear rep responded: ”At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.”
Problem?

I have a huge problem with this shirt. You took a movement, decided to make money off of it and you’re not supporting the movement you got the idea from?
This isn’t cool, Jay-Z. Not cool at all.”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luic0i9fdL1qzpwi0o1_1280.jpg)
