Jay-Z Can’t Relate To That 99 Percent

For real tho? This is the same entrepreneur who tried to sell Occupy W All Streets t-shirts last year right?? Jay-Z says Occupy Wall Street had a fatal flaw: Its 99 messages. The legendary rapper, in a new interview, says he never threw his support behind the protest movement because he didn’t understand what it stood for. “What’s the thing on the wall, what are you fighting for?” Jay-Z told The New York Times in a wide-ranging interview. The Brooklyn-born hip-hop king said he made his feelings clear to Russell Simmons, who was a full-throated supporter of the Zuccotti Park demonstrators. “I’m not going to a park and picnic — I have no idea what to do,” Jay-Z said, recalling a conversation with Simmons about joining the movement. “I don’t know what the fight is about. What do we want? Do you know?” Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, transformed himself from a poverty-stricken crack dealer to a multimillionaire music mogul and co-owner of the Brooklyn Nets. He said Occupy Wall Street’s blanket demonetization of the rich is un-American. “I think all those things need to really declare themselves a bit more clearly because when you just say that ‘the 1 percent is that,’ that’s not true,” he said. “Yeah, the 1 percent that’s robbing people, and deceiving people, these fixed mortgages and all these things, and then taking their home away from them, that’s criminal, that’s bad. “Not being an entrepreneur. This is free enterprise. This is what America is built on.” Guess he understood Occupy enough to try and make some dough off of the movement. He’s got 99 problems but relating ain’t one.

Jay-Z Benefit Concerts Coming To Carnegie Hall To Make History

Go here to see the original:

Jay-Z will make history this February when he performs two benefit concerts for The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way of New York City at New York’s legendary Carnegie Hall . This is a big deal, because it’s the first hip-hop concert series at this venue in its 120-year history. More importantly, it will help a lot of kids get higher education. Jay-Z created The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation with his mother Gloria Carter in 2003, and their organization has awarded over 750 students with over $1.3 million dollars in scholarship funds. Teens from Jay’s Marcy neighborhood and the New York area have benefited from these scholarships, and aid has been given to students in all 50 states. About giving back, Jay-Z says, “I’m a lucky person. My situation could have tuned out much different, my story is an anomaly.” Jay-Z’s benefit concerts at Carnegie Hall will take place on February 6th, 2012 at 8 pm and on February 7th, 2012 at 9:30 pm. “These concerts underscore the message of why we’ve been doing this,” Jay-Z added. Private tickets go on sale on December 12th and can be purchased online at UnitedWayNYC.org or ShawnCarterSF.com . Tickets for the public will be available on January 30th at 11 am at CarnegieHall.org .

Perverts: Grown Woman Arrested For Having “Turkey Day Sex” With 15-Year-Old Relative On Thanksgiving

How hard is it for women to find men their own ages to chop down these days??? Men who aren’t one of their relatives as well?!?!?! A 23-year-old Texas woman who was caught having sex with a 15-year-old relative on Thanksgiving Day has been arrested and charged with sexual assault of a child. Police in Montgomery County said families were gathered at a home on Oakridge Forest Lane in Spring, when some walked in on Amanda Billiris having sexual intercourse with the teenager. After posting bond on Thursday she was released from jail. If convicted, Billiris, who suffered a serious head injury during a motorcycle accident in 2009, faces between two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. How trifling is this broad???

December 4th: A Celebration Hovi Hov’s B-Day With The Best Party Songs He’s Given Us Over The Years

As Ms. Gloria told us on “The Black Album,” Shawn Carter was born on December 4th. And in addition to him being her youngest child and the one that gave her the least pain; Beyonce’s husband and baby daddy; Memphis Bleek’s perpetual patron; the undoing of everything De-Haven, Jaz-O and Dame Dash had seen for their lives; Rihanna and Yeezy’s maker; Weezy’s target; and corporate America’s favorite rapper, Jiggaman has given us more than his fare share of songs to party to. So in celebration of Hovi Hov’s 42nd Birthday, we bring you our favorite Jay-Z joints to hear in the club. To make the process easier, we limited our selections to songs from his albums. And these are presented in nothing but chronological order. We know making any Jay-Z list anyone ever makes is bound to be disputed, so feel free to let us know what songs you think should have been included in the comments! And make sure you check back in tomorrow for our list of Hov’s best songs period.

A Lil Positivity: Daddy-To-Be Hov Is Holding A Charity Carnival For His Scholarship Foundation

Looks like the talk of babies got The Camel thinking about the future. Jigga has a Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund that is helping get countless kids into college. Now, he’s hosting a carnival to raise more money for the charity. The event will be on September 29th and tickets will be $1,000 each. Attendees will get treated to meals from a few of Hov’s favorites including The Spotted Pig and the Milk Bar. He’ll also be giving away Nets tickets and some clothing items from a few places he name drops on Watch The Throne. For anyone that says rappers don’t give back to their community, this is a little proof that at least Hovito is looking out for the kids out there.

Slumlord Millionaire: Illuminati Hov And His Cronies Accused Of Using All Kinds Of Shady Scare Tactics To Get His Philly Tenants Out Of Their Homes

As if it wasn’t bad enough that he bought a building of condos, Hov just had to go and p*** off his mostly White tenants, didn’t he? How do we know they’re predominantly White? They took their griping and rabble-rousing to the good folks at Faux News. And they, of course, went in with their “savvy and balanced reporting”. Current and former residents at a luxury building in Philadelphia partly owned by hip-hop star Jay-Z say the music mogul’s legal team has been relentlessly harassing them to leave until they give up and vacate the premises, FoxNews.com has learned. “I’m scared of Jay-Z,” says a tenant of 603 North American Street, who because of what she claims are safety fears does not want to be named. “I’ve endured endless harassment from his team of lawyers, and I can’t take it anymore. I don’t know when this drama is going to end.” The 24-unit condominium complex was purchased by SCC North American Realty, LLC, in January of 2009. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, SCC North American Realty, LLC, is partially owned by Shawn Carter, otherwise known as Jay-Z. “The whole thing has been so unsettling,” former tenant Liza Tedeschi tells FoxNews.com exclusively. “I’ve been in tears over this.” Tedeschi claims Jay-Z’s legal team has been trying to evict tenants at his four-year-old building.

Someone is living foul up in the Toy Building at 1107 Broadway in New York City. Five union rats popped up in front the 40/40 Club. NY.Curbed.com who reported the story, received this e-mail saying what exactly the giant rats stand for “A rat is a contractor that does not pay all of its employees the Area Standard Wages, including either providing or making payments for family health care and pension benefits. Shame on the 40/40 CLUB & Shawn Carter aka Jay Z for contributing to the erosion of area standards for New York City Carpenters. The New York City District Council of Carpenters has a labor dispute with A&V Drywall which is performing work at 6 West 25th Street in NYC. 40/40 CLUB & Shawn Carter aka Jay Z is responsible for hiring CONELLE CONSTRUCTION CORP.
