Kanye Joins Russell Simmons @ #OccupyWallStreet

"Kanye, rocking gold fronts, briefly stopped by Zucotti Park with Russell a short time ago. Some protestors/supporters were understandably confused by the visit, and Russell’s office later released the following statement:

Today, Russell brought none other than Kanye West down to take part in the #OccupyWallStreet protests. Both of these men are showing that they take their jobs as leaders of our generation seriously by participating in the peaceful protests. Russell says of Kanye joining him today:

“It was amazing to see how people loved seeing Kanye West at Occupy Wall Street. His music and his art has always been about the voice and the power of the people. Kanye just wanted to come down and experience the growing movement that has opened the eyes of many around this country and around the world of the struggles of poor people. The energy at Liberty Plaza was electrifying and the momentum to get the money out of politics is growing quickly.”

"I'm pretty impressed Kanye decided to show up. I for one support these protests, even though its not too organized or have a specified reason for protesting. But people are unhappy, and i completely understand. Things need to change, corporations need to stop just robbing us. #occupywallstreet #fuckfoxnews

Last week, Talib Kweli visited the protest sit and performed acapella versions of some of his tracks. Watch that below along with, an awesome protestor serving a reporter and MSNBC covering Occupy Wall Street the way it should be."
