His ignorant fans won't care who's on his shirt. Plus he don't need to worry about them anyway, they buy his shit cos Jigga is hot.

But that same Jigga is pretty upset about his lack of props from a big part of the hiphop community who consider his lyrical content trash (I did not say his music, his flow or skills, just his lyrical content and what he represents).

He's been dissing those people, so obviously it's frustrating to him ... if it wasn't why else would he mention it. Now, in a foolish and naive attempt to gain (part of) that audience he wears a Che Guevara shirt.

Come on y'all, we all know how many people wore 'Afrocentric' gear when conscious rap was big, and Malcolm X caps when Spike Lee released the movie. And we all know how many of those people were bandwagonjumpers too.

So let's not be naive.
