Description: First they demolished the $350,000 Maybach for their collaborative hit Otis directed by Spike Jonze, now they want to give it away. Such is the fickle nature of world-famous rap stars Jay-Z and Kanye ...Add Comments14
Justin RouthFeb 27, 2012 You made sense yes but I'm just trying to say look at the amount of money these guys are donating and people are bashing them.. Its their money if they wanna dick around with it WHO CARES
Clint EdwardsFeb 27, 2012 I'm missing something here, last I checked donating money to a worthy cause was a good thing.
Patrick JosephFeb 27, 2012 Justin. Are you thick or retarded? A homeless donating a dollar means much more than bill gates donating $100. Do you understand now why your comment is pointless or do you think I make no sense. If so you're bloody slow man.
Patrick SchalkFeb 27, 2012 Conway is still a d bag. I wanna kick the crap out of that dude. He's garbage.
Michael GallagherFeb 27, 2012 Yep.. Just a bunch of idiots that throw their money around. Wish I was talentless yet extremely lucky to know someone in the business.
Brandon FraserFeb 27, 2012 They didn't buy the car for that much. There was something wrong with it so it couldn't be sold, I think it was a test car or a show model.
Justin RouthFeb 27, 2012 Stop bitching the 100k they donate now is more than you will donate in your lifetime
Lucas GuarnaccioFeb 27, 2012 Oh god, sorry! I forgot that a music video is way more important that helping out a charity :P and I realize it could go for more than $350k but if they estimate around $100k, which is $250k wasted...
Cody JacquesFeb 27, 2012 Because Lucas they wouldnt have a music video if they didn't ever buy the car in the first place...
Michael IoiaFeb 27, 2012 This is very old news. They said they would be doing that months ago when they first made the video.
Nick StiFeb 27, 2012 They could get a lot more for all we know
Nick StiFeb 27, 2012 It says whatever the proceeds are, will be donated. It's expected to be 100,000
Lucas GuarnaccioFeb 27, 2012 So they spend $350,000 on a car, destroy it, and then are planning to sell it and give ~$100,000 to charity.... Why not give $350,000 to charity in the first place?

Ronnie ChanFeb 28, 2012 Damn it! Look at the rims from both cars are difference ?LOL....
Cameron SouletteFeb 27, 2012 Tax write offs? They do what they need in order to make more money and "try" to help in the process. They bough an expensive car ppl got paid to make, filmed a music video which took a crew that got paid, and they donated the change from the project
Sam HughesFeb 27, 2012 The 'little people'. And if in addition to that they come up with a creative way to turn their junk into African kid's gold, good for them! They are doing a good thing. Just appreciate it
Sam HughesFeb 27, 2012 Something is wrong when people do some good and get bitched out for it. And it's not like they hoard their wealth. Every time they hire a tradie or go out for dinner or have a tailor make them a suit, that's money going into America and supporting
Michael GallagherFeb 27, 2012 Put me in their shoes with their money and I would donate more then 350k
Adam ZarytskyFeb 27, 2012 Guys, why don't you donate $350,000 to charity? Then you can complain. They're super rich, and they have More than enough to destroy a $350,000 car. They could have thrown it away for all we know, but they're using it for good instead
Logan LeMonnierFeb 27, 2012 They could've given the 350k to charity...I love watch the throne (awesome album) but I meant seriously?
P_R_N_DFeb 27, 2012 Woah, slow down... pop culture history?! They're making this car sound like Michael Jackson's glove. It's a nice gesture but its not THAT relevant.
Antonio RamthunFeb 27, 2012 It's tight there giving it to charity and the cars super ugly to begin with. Shit it's not a Bentley or roll's
Val KortchakFeb 27, 2012 You're complaining about people helping people? It's their money, they should do what they want with it, and African children get limited help as it is..I'm curious to know when is the last time you donated or volunteered in your community..
Jeff DanielsFeb 27, 2012 Ya cuz our country doesn't need it...there isn't any organizations in America that 100k wouldn't greatly benefit....
-_-
Shawn GriffithMar 02, 2012 Dude, you don't know how to give up, it's sad, really. Let me know when your balls drop and you know how to act like a man, until then, I can only assume that you're a child that doesn't know a losing battle when it's hitting you in the face.
Shawn GriffithMar 02, 2012 You've made 2 references to what you assume to be an inability to type, and one remark regarding my making a 'dumb statement' for straightening this article out of the hell hole it was heading towards.
Shawn GriffithMar 02, 2012 Dude all you keep saying is 'you can't talk for shit.' if you can't give me a rebuttal for me being right, then shut the hell up, Jesus Christ.
Shawn GriffithMar 01, 2012 If you weren't so damn stubborn, you'd realize that I'm right, you headstrong idiot. It's ok to be wrong from time to time, especially when you are too much a sack of shit to research the shit that comes out of your mouth before you post it.
Shawn GriffithMar 01, 2012 I can't talk for shit? I seem to have better grammar skills than you, and for every typo I have, you have two. Seeing as how you can only bitch about my grammar and spelling, I assume you ran out of shit to argue with me about regarding this subject.
Shawn GriffithMar 01, 2012 You proved nothing, man. WCC could put their logo on a steaming turd, say it was for the military, and it would sell for a big money. Jesus Christ I can't tell if you're a troll that doesn't know how to give up, or the greatest moron of all time.
Shawn GriffithMar 01, 2012 And you don't think that that would happen to have anything to do with the fact that it's a west coast custom rebuild, or the fact that is was benefiting AMURRIKA? Come on man, get real.
Shawn GriffithFeb 29, 2012 Oh really? FAR MORE? I didn't realize we were talking about a classic Ferrari here, my mistake. What an idiot. Tell you what, you dig up proof that they bought this vehicle immediately before the shoot, and I'll recant my statement.
Shawn GriffithFeb 29, 2012 I highly doubt they blew the money just to gain back a third for charity. You sir, provide I stupid arguement.
Shawn GriffithFeb 29, 2012 And what's to say they owned the car prior to the video, decided they no longer wanted it, and did this instead? There is no way they could of pulled remotely 350k for this off an auction block, and seeing as how this a charity case...
Shawn GriffithFeb 29, 2012 Really, I made a dumb statement? If I made a dumb statement based solely off of your arguement on the car's value, why would they bother selling the car stock, when Maybach has gone down the shitter? Obviously no one wants a Maybach...
Patrick SchalkFeb 29, 2012 Yeah Justin. Fight racism with racism. Makes a lot of sense.
Justin ChaplinFeb 28, 2012 I know what Latino/hispanic is and I def. know what a honky is...I did that to prove my point...it's pretty funny how you dont even recognize the point when there are people saying dumb blacks but you notice that real quick...open your eyes and maybe you will see shit...Im from florida so im' very familiar with cubans and puerto ricans and columbians and dominicans lol i can even tell the between ...
Shawn GriffithFeb 28, 2012 Holy hell, you all have completely blown the context of this article out of proportion. 350K is the car's value. It doesn't say anywhere that they paid that. I'm sure they got it for free from Maybach because it is going to charity. That being said, if you can turn a free car into 100k, I'd say you're doing a good thing.
Patrick SchalkFeb 28, 2012 I don't care what someone calls me because it's just words, I just hate the double standard.
Mikey JimenezFeb 27, 2012 @Justin I think it's very stereotypical of you to say,"MEXICANS!" we are a called Latino/Hispanic ! I hate when retards like you think everyone that speaks spanish automatically means they're mexican.
Justin RouthFeb 27, 2012 So top gear straight up destroys cars THEY DIDNT BUY all the time and you guys LOOOOVVVEEEE that show. These guys buy their car and destroy it and you bash them? Hypocrite mf's
Abraham MendozaFeb 27, 2012 They really did ruin that poor car. At least it'll be for charity.
Zain SheikhFeb 27, 2012 People are so racist on this app but I bet if it were some white people doing this they would call this" Badass "
Patrick SchalkFeb 27, 2012 I love when black people think racism is a one way street. You don't see me on here saying nigger this and nigger that. Justin you know "honky" is a racial slur towards white people right?
Cameron StanleyFeb 27, 2012 Why are people tripping when its not even there car? Lol
rockstarTcFeb 27, 2012 @ patrick haha all we need now is someone named "Dodge Rocks"!!
Just think at least they are giving something to charity. They couldve just tossed it if they wanted too...
Michael GallagherFeb 27, 2012 @ford, so then no one should pay taxes! It's our money, we should use it te way we want! Right ford?! To bad it doesn't work like that lol. Government always has their hands in our money. And they blow it on garbage also. In the end, everyman4himself
Stephen CobbsFeb 27, 2012 This is just disrespectful. Yeah the company is being discontinued but still this doesnt make any sense.
Ty PiperFeb 27, 2012 This is the first time I have agreed with FORDfan haha
Patrick JosephFeb 27, 2012 Donating to the poor in America or Africa is the same. A person in need is the same no matter the color or ethnicity. Hunger is still hunger whatever the place. So it's irrelevant wondering where else they should of spent it
Ciro LópezFeb 27, 2012 jajajajajaja black people...
Mikey JimenezFeb 27, 2012 All I said was,"illuminatti a$$holes" and you guys erase my comment ! But it's okay for @maciej to say,"dumb black people?"
Phil JohnsonFeb 27, 2012 How about instead of destroying a Maybach and trying to sell it for charity, just don't buy it in the first place and give away the money you saved from not buying it?
Christian Quattro TietjenFeb 27, 2012 hey! we all know the maybach looks better now, it was fugly to begin with!
Rockesh BoulderFeb 27, 2012 Couldn't they have used a salvage Mercedes instead?
Patrick SchalkFeb 27, 2012 Yeah some do. And a lot don't.
Uh oh. We have Chevy4life and FORDfan? Things are gonna get interesting around here.
Chevy4LifeFeb 27, 2012 All of you people complaining, do some research these guys have been giving back for years including giving scholarship money for a lot of people
Patrick SchalkFeb 27, 2012 I find it funny that the people who bitch about world hunger and whatnot usually have the most money.
Greg LewisFeb 27, 2012 If I had the money to toss away I would do something worthwhile. If I had 35k to buy a camaro,destroy it then donate 10k,I'd be seen as retarded. Point is,while world is struggling. And you shouldn't show the pple who give you the money, you waste it
Nam Doan TrinhFeb 27, 2012 Imagine how much they made of the video....to them that $250k was well spend because I'm sure the video has brought in more $$$ then that. Hell and it got buzz going. People will watch the video just cuz a $250k car got destroyed and each view = $$$
Michael GallagherFeb 27, 2012 Should help out your own country first. Plenty of people to help here
Justin RouthFeb 27, 2012 Yes michael america does have money problems but americas money problems dont hold a candle to the problems in Africa. Poor here is nothing compared to poor in africa. They need it more than us
Michael GallagherFeb 27, 2012 Why not help out a charity in their own country? America has money problems as well
Chris BridgersFeb 27, 2012 I third it.
They used it to make money which Im sure part of already went to charity on top of this car going to charity.
Be happy theyre selling and not trashing it.
Adam ZarytskyFeb 27, 2012 Greg I'm glad you donated hundreds of thousands to charity. Oh wait, you havent? Then quit complaining about those who do give. Bunch of hypocrites on this site, really
Greg LewisFeb 27, 2012 Spending 350k to play with a car? Then sell it for 100k? It's wasteful and disrespectful. Spending 250k to piss around when the money could go to better use... And don't most rappers rap about how tough it was growing up? Glad they forgot and waste $
Walter Alexander ThomasFeb 27, 2012 That was stupid. Rappers have nice things. They can afford to do things of this nature. And rappers are doing good deeds. Many of them support charities.
Dustin LabitFeb 27, 2012 This is why rappers can't have nice things!
Dustin EmerickFeb 27, 2012 I think it looks better now than it did originally lol never thought they were worth the money
Josiah Thomas ClementsFeb 27, 2012 Timothy this car is like a yacht on wheels. Sure it's not good looking, but it's an insanely nice interior.
Val KortchakFeb 27, 2012 Eh..it's all relative..to them it doesn't cost more than a $1000 beater to most people..plus, the Maybach is an overpriced Benz anyways..good on them to at least use it in their business(videos/advertising/charity) than how they are typically used..
Max GarciaFeb 27, 2012 What the .... What have they done to that beautiful luxury car well it's not that beautiful... But still what the .... !!!
Raymond ReynosoFeb 27, 2012 I wouldn't pay $10 bucks for that
Hamish JohnsonFeb 27, 2012 I saw the film clip and thought it wasn't a real maybach. This is disrespectfull
Donations are a tax write off, just sayin.
You made sense yes but I'm just trying to say look at the amount of money these guys are donating and people are bashing them.. Its their money if they wanna dick around with it WHO CARES
I'm missing something here, last I checked donating money to a worthy cause was a good thing.

Stop bitching the 100k they donate now is more than you will donate in your lifetime
Oh god, sorry! I forgot that a music video is way more important that helping out a charity :P and I realize it could go for more than $350k but if they estimate around $100k, which is $250k wasted...
Because Lucas they wouldnt have a music video if they didn't ever buy the car in the first place...
This is very old news. They said they would be doing that months ago when they first made the video.
They could get a lot more for all we know
It says whatever the proceeds are, will be donated. It's expected to be 100,000
So they spend $350,000 on a car, destroy it, and then are planning to sell it and give ~$100,000 to charity.... Why not give $350,000 to charity in the first place?
