Kanye West and Russell Simmons Occupy Wall Street

Last week rapper Talib Kweli and used-to-be-a-recluse indie-rock cult hero Jeff Mangum performed for Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York. Today the celebrity wattage got a little brighter, with the one and only Kanye West and Def Jam founder and hip-hop poobah Russell Simmons showing up. Against all odds, Kanye didn't speak, and instead let Uncle Rush do the talking. Some Occupiers on Twitter thought somebody might have given Yeezy bad directions, like @DocZeus who asked "Are we sure Kanye isn't confusing Occupy Wall Street with Occupy Champs-Elysee?"
