As Young Jeezy’s TM:103 ‘Hustlerz Ambition’ approaches release, the Atlanta rap vet recently turned his attention to the Occupy Wall Street movement.
“I would riot,” said Jeezy in an interview with XXLMag.com, “because we gotta get the money out of Washington. This is real. When you got middle class people taking a stance—because we always took a stance by the way, we always stood in the middle of our projects, our ghetto, and took our stance and our stance was hustling, robbing, what have you, to survive. So now they don’t have those same options, so they gotta go march.”
Jeezy made comparisons between OWS and the Civil Rights movement. ““We as a people marched millions of times before, whether it was the Million Black Man March or whether we marched with Martin Luther King, we marched or whether it was Malcom X, we marched. And now is their time to march. They gotta go stand up for what they believe in. Stand tall like a tree. If it takes getting jailed and pepper sprayed, if that what it takes to feed your kids then fuck it, let’s do it.”
Watch the interview below:
The Occupy Movement is NECESSARY for our citizens to expose the corruption which Big Business has infected our Government with. Every single person occupying the streets and protesting Corporations is a hero and a patriot. I was compelled to lend a hand and create some new posters for the movement which you can download for free on my artists blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/11/propaganda-for-occupy-movement.html
marching wont do shit, but if everyone in the country decides not to go to work until shit changes then you’ll be doing something…… i mean every single working person stop going to work for a month or two… but plan it… dont just go into it… sacrifice…. FUCK UP EVERYTHING BY DOING THIS….
stop spending money
FUCK THE GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL… SELL DRUGS AND GET RICH QUICK
Love Jeezy’s music, but on the real I could care less what these artists think in regards to politics same when it comes to actors, etc. 103 wont leave the deck when I buy that!! Last three traX I heard GO.

lol jeezy a millionaire he dont give a fuck
Obviously he gives a fuck. You do realize that even “millionaires” are the 99 percent right? It’s the billion dollar corporations that are fucking our country over…
well those billion dollar companies employ millions of Americans with a very nice standard of living- chase, ford, etc- wipe them out and a ton of people lose their livelihood. they’re a necessary evil and thank god for them because thats how I make my middle class income.
young JIZZle?
get da fuc out of here…
This dude rich as fuck
I hate wealthy artists who try and support causes without donating anything
Talk is cheap motherfuck
How do you know what charities he has or hasn’t donated to? It’s never cool to say something bitter like that without reasonable proof. You know just as much about Jeezy’s charitable contributions then the next stranger…quit hatin’ because regardless of what defense you cook up, you ain’t “just sayin”it’s just pure hate…
^wow that nigga just owned the fuck out of you. and he’s right. ignorant fool jumping to conclusions playing the victim role. sounding like judgmental conservative christian.
EVERYBODY KNOW THAT CHARITY SHIT IS RIGGED AND THIS NINJA NOT GON SUPPORT US…GET PEPPER SPRAYED JEEZY THEN WE WILL BELIEVE YOU….LIKE 2PAC SAID” CHARITY DONT MAKE IT TO THE HOOD…”
Occupy is about getting everyone’s attention, it’s a mic check.
The next phase is educating people on how F’ed up things are right now.
OWS has a massive PR/marketing problem though, the establishment has a lot of people believing they’re nothing but a bunch of bums, and yeah there are some people taking advantage of the situation as there are assholes in every aspect of life.
But things out there are tilted on the corporations’ side. Goldman Sachs, Lehman Bos, Freddie Mac… all those guys hustled the shit out of the rest of the world. They packaged bad loans they gave out on purpose to hide the liability then sold those packages (CDO/CDS) to retirement funds, hedge funds and other banks telling them it was a good long term investment. Then those loans blew up in everyone’s face and it caused a chain reaction through the markets and the regular folks lost their shit.
Also, our lawmakers in Congress are exempt from insider trading laws. While they say they never act on insider info. They are outperforming even the best hedge fund managers on Wall Street on a consistent basis… why else would they spend millions to get a job that pays thousands? Because they come out multi-millionaires. That’s some gangster shit right there and it’s legal cause they make the rules.
Now the American Banker’s Association is about to release their diss tracks and bury the OWS movement and make sure the money in this country stays up top. http://boingboing.net/2011/11/19/memo-to-american-bankers-assoc.html
Even if you don’t give a shit about politics & corporations, just remember politics and corporations don’t give a shit about you either but politics will jack everything you got if you let it.
It’s definitely deeper than what the average mind can recognize.
Man you came one hundie correct and on point with your little rant above. Thank you good sir for the good read.
copy AND PASTE ME…….WOW!! THIS SHIT IS CRAY…NOT BOUT TO READ AWW THIS SHIT
some of u people are so fucking ignorant. so basically what ure saying is if ure successful and rich it automatically means you dont care about non-rich people and that ure corrupt. what type of reasoning is that? i hate that alot of these 99% want u to feel bad for being successful. why should a nigga feel guilty for being fortunate just because ur ass isnt super rich likr its his fault? even though he’s tryng to support u bitter ass motherfuckers. grow the fuck up
alot of the 99%s remind me of those people who have one bad experience with someone from another race and then decides that the entire race is bad. People with bigoted states of mind. These niggas like kanye trying to show yall support and you smack him in the face just because he looks like the other people that stole from you even though he had nothing to do with them. do you even remember who the enemy is anymore or hav you just decided that all rich people are evil? anyway good luck with your hate fest.
Kanye is the embodiment of materialism. Materialism is what the whole system is based on. So the reason people don’t like Kanye because they were robbed by black people lmao. What about black people who don’t like Kanye? And it looks like you’re saying that rich black people are with the people automatically because they’re black. Nice logic
Whoa, whoa big homie, slow ya roll droppin that n-bomb.
And the award for the Most Ignorant and Least Likely to get laid award goes to…..Asher1985! Congratulations! At least we know your sorry ass has next to no chance of reproducing with a female and passing on your probably frequently inbred genes
blaming the black man wont make you any less of an under achiever. sorry bro
The whole 99% movement and Occupy Wall Street is stupid and anyone who participates in it is retarded and just a puppet.
Stay ignorant my friends and I will keep counting your money, cause it’s mine now BITCH. – Mr. One Percent
sure jeezy the millionaire telling people to go to jail and get pepper sprayed from the luxary of his mansion. these fuckin’ rappers astound me sometimes….
I JUST WANT TO SEE ONE OF YOU ‘BIG BALLIN’ RAPPERS GET PEPPER SPRAYED…YOU NIGLETS ARE NOT WITH US…YOUNG JEEZY HAS AN ALBUM COMING OUT SOON I TAKE IT??…LETS SEE HOW MANY RECORDS YOU SELL WHEN THERE ARE NO JOBS LEFT…DAMN COONS…DONT READ OR WRITE…BUT YOU CAN RAP THOUGH HUH?? I GOT RIMS AND ICE AND I KEEP IT A HUNNID MY G’…WHAT THE FUCK? WHILE THE WORLD BURNS BEFORE OUR VERY EYES….DAMN MONKEYS!
I sometimes wish they could remove this comment section because most of the comments are useless and irrelevant…People saying a whole bunch of shit they wouldn’t say in real life
alot of these 99% dont amount to much so they resort to trolling
shut up nigga
C’mon jeezy?? i wish Tupac was really back!
Why? Cause you are mad Jeezy is a well read individual who considers himself a descendant of the Panthers?
You would be happy if Jeezy said some dumb shit like “Voting Good”, lol .
your a dumb nigga. He said the streets have been rioting forever. That is where Hip Hop comes from. Its a great statement, try to use your brain enough to understand it.
Honestly, a majority of these racist clowns haven’t got the heart to be racist in real life so they resort to the internet since noone can punch their teeth out while they front safely behind a keyboard. That’s basically it fam.
