It did.I thought rocawear was sold years ago

Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing line has started to produce “Occupy All Streets” shirts which is clearly based on the title of what some are referring to as the largest social justice movement of our generation. The only hitch here is that the company has no intention to share profits with the movement. Jay-Z earned $63 million last year, a grotesque amount of money considering the current economic state of the world, but I digress, yet still refuses to share profits.
As a result of his “Scrooge” like tendencies, sculptor, Daniel Edwards, who supports the Occupy movement sculptured a totem pole which represents Jay-Z as the base topped by Mr. Burns from the Simpsons, Scrooge McDuck from Disney’s “A Christmas Carol” and Richie Rich.
The only remaining question now is should Jay-Z’s company share the profits from the shirt with the organizers of the movement?
Jay-Z sold the Rocawear brand in 2007 for $204 million to Iconix Group
Wiki says
"In March 2007, Jay-Z sold the rights to the Rocawear brand to Iconix Brand Group for $204 million. Jay-Z will retain his stake in the company and will continue to oversee the marketing, licensing, and product development."
i dont like the fact its not balanced with whos into fuckerySo according to some of you, we arnt allowed to voice our opinions on any of this because, Jay has written bigger checks to black causes than us. Then If this is the case no one on here can say anything bad about Trump or Donald Sterlin, because they gave more money to blacks than any of yall. Lets see how some of you spin or ignore your own flawed logic.
Yall can say you wanna wait and see or you have faith in him for w/e reason, but dont be telling me no dumb shit and act like I'm huge dick head, because i have the nerve to ask questions and not instantly be a believer. Thats that stan/cultist mentality. The only people who catch an attitude when you ask questions are people with something to hide.
exactly...but its funny how when the pressure is turned to those who claim to be the community who can judge...some act like they are above criticism.But on the flip it's the judge or calling out ppl that puts on the pressure that makes ppl change... if for nothing else but the viewable good of the community
he sold rights..Oh shit. Didnt know you can sell it and keep your stake with that much control because he damn sure dont promote that shit.
you drinking bruh?Stills take about Hov making so mich money and not speaking and being in tuned with folks folks is weird because he’s a not rich too.
its easier to take aim than to be the target.It's wild that this is about to be 75 pages, but this thread
what is your solution to social injustices?
since every0ne can say what not to do.....i guess with balance we need solutions on what TO do. can we have solutions? i mean to most of our problems....not just the nfl but OUR community issues. lets get it....ablackweb.com
is struggling to make it to page 2
Jidenna speaks on it.... Should start at the right time but if it doesnt fast forward to the 16:22 mark. Thoughts?
Because everything gotta be emotional and "spicy". I blame Trump for the era we in. Microwave emotionsWhy rush to form an opinion either way when we know little to nothing?
Just food for thought and throwing this out there to get some feed back on how yall feel about this statement I just heard.
"Any gift, resource or funds accepted from an oppressive hand has a shackle attached to it."
They said this statement regarding Kaep taking the settlement, the players coalition and Jayz making that deal.

"When did Kap ever say he ever wanted to "lead"
So WTF these internet Hotep activist so pissy that Jay didn't seek Kap's approval?
SMH. These niggas don't know what to be mad at.
Kap took a settlement because he proved the NFL guilty of collusion. They took his job from him. It’s kinda like a form of back pay. They owed him that. If I fire you from a job for doing something that’s well within your rights you should get authorities involved as well.
soooooo not sure how that compares to jays deal
While I agree with you... the fact that his settlement seems to have come with a non-disclosure agreement... doesn't that give credence to that quote even more... being a literal shackle, since he cant talk about the details of the settlement?
