MICHETIQUE
(meesh-teek) n. an aura of mystery or mystical power surrounding a particular occupation or pursuit. Or, ya know, whatever.
“For any image or symbol or creative act to mean something, it has to touch something deeper, connect to something true.” – Jay-Z, writing about wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt, in Decoded (Virgin Books/Random House, 2010).
An article in The Guardian today says The rapper’s co-opting of the Occupy Wall Street movement to sell T-shirts is depressing – but not that surprising.
What do you think?
Discuss.
It’s shitty because he is not even trying to act like he gives a shit. The money for the shirts doesn’t support any cause but Jay Z’s bank account.
JAY Z IS THE FUCKING 1% AND THESE SHIRTS ARE A FUCK YOU TO THE OCCUPATION.
I am dissapoint.
This.

He’s just trying to capitalize off a movement that he had ZERO involvement with. What else is new though…
