New World Order: Hip Hop’s Obsession With The Illuminati

    Before rappers had multimillion-dollar endorsement deals with shoe manufacturers and makeup companies, it was commonplace to see even the most mainstream emcees speak out on controversial issues. In the wake of Hip Hop’s commercial boom from the late 90’s through the early aughts, and the subsequent commercial drought we’re witnessing now, most mainstream emcees on major labels sidestep anything remotely controversial.

    Moments such as Lupe Fiasco calling President Obama the biggest terrorist or Kanye West quipping, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” are now generally the exception and not the rule. In an effort to create dialogue on issues many of the most popular and commercially successful emcees are afraid to touch, HipHopDX is launching a “Taboo Series” of editorials. Whether readers agree or disagree with the opinions brought forth, our hope is to play a small part in returning the level of discourse in Hip Hop back to the days when mainstream, major label, commercially viable artists weren’t afraid to tackle uncomfortable and thought-provoking subjects.

    From September 5 through September 7, HipHopDX will post these Taboo Series editorials daily, addressing topics the top mainstream rappers no longer talk about. Do you agree with the choices? Do you agree that such subjects have become taboo for Top 40 emcees? Weigh in, starting today.

    New World Order: Hip Hop’s Obsession With The Illuminati

    “We want sanitary food / Planetary conquest / Thug peoples on some hard cold body shit / Get your shit together before the fuckin’ Illuminati hit…” – U-God, “Impossible”

    As a young Hip Hop head, I vividly remember the first time I heard some of my favorite emcees begin to throw out theories about Freemasonry, Illuminati and a New World Order. It was a 1995 article on Wu-Tang Clan from the June/July issue of Vibe. In addition to the normal interaction between Clan members, the following exchange between Raekwon, U-God and Ghostface Killah caught my attention:

    Raekwon: “Were just building and keepin’ shit together, you know? This is Born Power hour. The Clan got shit locked down for the next five years. Right now, we’re preparing for the Illuminati 2000, which is the Masons’ plan for New World Order. We got a videotape of these mothafuckas droppin’ all types of shit about how they plan to run shit in the year 2000 and better.

    [At this point Golden Arms, a.k.a. U-God, who has seemed anxious at the turn in conversation, looks up from his lap and shakes his head in unquestionable agreement.]

    U-God: Word life, yo! This shit ain’t no joke! These mothafuckas got plans to put microchip implants in babies, so that they can be able to find yo’ ass wherever you are! Yo! They’re gonna give everybody plastic credit cards to replace money. We tellin’ you the truth, son. It’s gonna be some shit!

    Raekwon: Brothers don’t realize these are the last days. That’s why we so tightly knit. We gotta blow this shit up now, or else we ain’t gonna have another chance. When you really think—yo—this whole world is corrupted to an extent…everything! Illuminati is a belief, but at the same time, it’s no religion. We dealin’ with facts, just like we dealing with the planets and all that. It’s deep.

    Ghostface: Aye yo kill that shit, son.

    Chef: Word up, ‘cause this shit can get niggas killed, for real. Let’s stop here.

    About a month later, Mobb Deep’s Prodigy would add fuel to the fire with his well-known “Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body” quote from LL Cool J’s “I Shot ‘Ya” remix. Unofficially, those two events more or less opened the floodgates on roughly 15 years worth of references, warnings and speculation that seemed to peak with Jay-Z’s 2010 video, “On To The Next One.” Within that time span, we saw and heard references from nearly all of Hip Hop’s elite. Tupac made references on the first of many posthumous albums with the title Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. And for a while, Busta Rhymes provided an annual Y2K apocalypse countdown by yelling out how many years remained until the ball dropped or we all died—whichever one happened first. But there were also references provided by the likes of UGK, Ras Kass, Outkast and more.

    If you’re looking some National Treasure-style decoder ring to break down all of these connections, this is the part where I tell you you’re on the wrong website. Alex Jones and any host of others will gladly trade such theories with you. As it concerns Hip Hop, I’m interested in why so many of the genre’s most skilled and visible emcees have made so many references to Freemasons, Illuminati and the New World Order. It seems that Hip Hop, more than any other genre of music, has an interest in secret societies that borders on obsession.

    The Information Age

    “Look up in the sky / It’s a bird it’s a plane / No it’s just another drone spying on us maine / It’s a new world order / At least that’s what I read / Big brother is watching / I just heard somebody say it / Jesus was married to Mary / And they both had a kid / And it’s a piece of history that the Catholic church hid / Man fuck The DaVinci Code / Fuck Illuminati / Only secret society is Rap-A-Lot and John Gotti…” –Bun B, “Purse Comes First.”

    If you subscribe to the notion that Hip Hop enjoyed its cultural and commercial peak during the period from 1989 through 1995, then the Illuminati talk begins to make a lot more sense. One of Hip Hop’s often-neglected five pillars is knowledge and understanding of the culture. And at the most basic level, the artists issuing warnings about a New World Order ushering in a 1984-style police state had a basis for their fears. I think such rhymes warned listeners about being desensitized to a society that advocates constant surveillance and the removal of certain civil liberties.

    Rae, Ghost and U-God raised some legitimate concerns back in 1995. Events such as COINTELPRO, when the United States government purposely and unlawfully kept domestic citizens under surveillance, set a precedent for the microchip implants U-God mentioned. Similarly, The Tuskegee Experiment set the precedent for the government willingly infecting citizens with the deadly disease syphilis and leaving them untreated. Corporations such as Verichip have already shown that the technology for a passive, implanted chip exists. U-God’s theory of Illuminati coordinating the implanting of microchips in infants is a bit far-fetched. But when viewed within a historical context, there’s a basis. Admittedly, there’s a definite difference between what U-God and other emcees warned about and the current American climate of constant surveillance. According to Popular Mechanics, there are an estimated 30 million surveillance cameras now deployed in the United States shooting 4 billion hours of footage a week. There is increasing evidence that such cameras are not nearly as helpful as some would have us believe. If all of this costly surveillance is not necessarily helping prevent crime, then what is it doing?

    A 2002 study by, Brandon C. Welsh and David P. Farrington on public surveillance systems in the US and the UK posits that factors such as displacement and confounding variables show an increase in such systems don’t consistently deter crime. And when they do, they’re rarely worth the cost to taxpayers. Additionally, there’s the issue of having one’s civil liberties encroached upon. And that’s not to mention additional measures such as the PATRIOT ACT, and the institution of the Transportation Security Authority. To me, listening to Goodie Mob’s “Cell Therapy” with all of the above in mind makes emcees that talked about a New World Order sound much less paranoid. Within that context, a fairly large amount of emcees were merely giving listeners knowledge about upcoming restrictions on their civil liberties and personal freedoms—such as being subjected to a full body X-Ray each time you board a plane.

    To a certain type of discerning Hip Hop fan, it does mean the era that emcees like Cee-Lo and Canibus spoke about is already upon us. Various American civil liberties, including due process, have been taken away or redefined within the last 20 years. Our country is moving closer to being under a state of constant surveillance, and with the constant threat of terrorism looming on the horizon, the government no longer needs probable cause to search, seize or even wiretap you. As far as Hip Hop is concerned, many of the scenarios outlined in tracks like Goodie Mob’s “Cell Therapy” and Wu-Tang Clan’s “Impossible” aren’t the stuff of science fiction movies. They’re already happening in real life.

    Power Circle

    “My point was to bring the Illuminati out of the boogieman space. It’s not a boogieman; it’s legislators that are right now passing legislation that disenfranchises so many people. We’re talking about 1% of the population in America controlling 50% of the wealth, controlling more wealth than 50% of the people here. We have 10% of the people all over the world making life miserable for 90% of the world and [all] we wanna talk about is Jay-Z gay, is Kanye gay? Are they in this secret society? It’s not a secret society; it’s right in your face. Everything they’re doing is right in your face. Everything.” –Wise Intelligent, exclusive HipHopDX interview.

    You don’t need to have a secret society with cloak and dagger type blood rituals to prey on socially marginalized people when legislators are perfectly willing to do it in broad daylight. To me, that’s the most conclusive evidence against some type of Illuminati. Look at someone like conservative lobbyist, Grover Norquist. In what can most simply be described as a campaign against the redistribution of wealth, Norquist has convinced nearly every Republican congressman and senator to sign his Taxpayer Protection Pledge. To me, such efforts go beyond political party affiliation. What you’re dealing with is rich lobbyists influencing public policy instead of voting, taxpaying citizens. That shouldn’t be confused with representative democracy, where a small group controls a larger group. What we’re dealing with is a small group of wealthy private citizens dictating government actions.

    In October of 2011, the average US citizen made $26,364 per year. The American League of Lobbyists doesn’t calculate or make members salaries public. But a 2011 report by the Wall Street Journal estimates the average lobbyist makes from $1 million to $5 million annually. You can look at the current state of the economy and safely assume there are a lot more people bringing home that $26,364 average than there are millionaire lobbyists. Yet it’s pretty clear which group has more influence. When it’s time to enact laws that reduce federal aid to the poor or make it more difficult for citizens in low-income areas to vote, those with the most sway in the American political process aren’t wearing cloaks and attending some Illuminati séance. They’re walking right into an elected officials office and giving them a “gift,” because the process is totally legal. I’m more worried about a crooked lobbyist in my elected officials office than some Freemason in a lodge. Although, for argument’s sake, a person could very well be both.

    Fantasy Versus Reality

    “But on the low though / We fightin’ over the scraps worshipping the almighty dollar / In God we trust / Look it over / Now what the fuck pyramids got to do with the Pilgrims or Jehovah / Novus Ordo Seclorum means new world order / That’s why I keep my friends close and my enemies closer… –Ras Kass, “Soul On Ice (Remix)”

    As a listener, the image-heavy, fantasy side of the Illuminati argument loses some credibility for me when people want to don their tin foil hats and exaggerate things for entertainment value. I’m specifically referring to things like Prodigy’s batshit crazy letter from prison about Jay-Z and Dr. Malachi York (pictured below). I don’t think every rapper that has ever been associated with imagery of an “all seeing eye” is part of some secret conspiracy. I’ll be worried about Jay-Z or Sean Combs’ net worth when I see one of them with a senator or a lobbyist—or doing anything with Obama besides trying to raise their Q-rating. Much like Hollywood’s Illuminati references in Tomb Raider and National Treasure, I think a large portion of rappers were and still are throwing whatever references they can cull from William Cooper’s Behold A Pale Horse in their rhymes. And it sounds like some of their fellow emcees are finally calling bullshit on them.

    Prodigy LetterProdigy LetterProdigy Letter

    “I view Jay-Z and Puffy as entertaining businessmen who have made moguls out of themselves,” Killer Mike said, in reference to Illuminati allegations against Jay-Z and Sean Combs. “In the context of putting their money next to me, I shrink. But putting their money next to [Warren] Buffett, [Carlos] Slim out of Mexico, the Nigerian and East Indian billionaires, they just become regular people again. I won’t let my perception to be controlled. So it’s not a slight against Jay-Z. It’s just saying that if you allow your idols to be judged on a game or playing field that they didn’t create, you’re gonna be saying you think they’re in the Illuminati. And they’re not, because they don’t have enough money to be in the Illuminati.”

    The Devil And Jay-Z

    “If from age one to adulthood all you heard was Jay-Z, you’re gonna learn to get ahead of everybody and fight the world. You’re gonna learn to kill. You know what? A baby will go right to hell fuckin’ with Jay-Z, but that baby will be wearing the hottest designer shit and driving the hottest car with the coolest rims. And that’s why they matter so much. DMX will take you to heaven and Jay-Z will take you right to hell.” –Russell Simmons, Life And Def.

    If my former employer wrote that fuckin’ with me would send a baby straight to hell in a national bestselling book, I’d seriously contemplate punching him square in the jaw. And yet, when Hip Hop’s Illuminati obsession reached its peak a few years back, a lot of people felt the same way Russell Simmons did about Jay-Z. What is it about Jay-Z that makes people associate him with some secret society in control of all the world’s wealth?

    If we’re being somewhat objective, then even by his own admission Jay-Z is responsible for some pretty foul acts. He’s gone on record as having sold at least a negligible amount of crack cocaine at some point during the 80’s. He’s admitted to shooting his brother at the age of 12. He pleaded guilty to third-degree assault after allegedly stabbing Lance “Un” Rivera in 1999. And at least part of his current success is due to leaving his former Roc-a-fella founders (and most of their artists) high and dry when he sold the company and took a position at Def Jam in 2004. You can also add in a few chilling lyrics, such as, “I never pray to God/I pray to Gotti.” For those that subscribe to the theory that Jay is in cahoots with the devil, there’s the Masonic imagery from various Rocawear clothing items, some of his videos and that infamous Roc/diamond sign that he’s fond of throwing up.

    It’s interesting that, at least on face value, other rappers haven’t been reviled for doing some of the exact same things that supposedly make Jay-Z evil. C-Murder was convicted of shooting 16-year-old Steve Thomas in January of 2000. Despite video evidence of C-Murder firing his gun, a “Free C-Murder” campaign was launched. Jay-Z’s contemporary, Notorious B.I.G., has admitted to also moving his fair share of crack cocaine. According to B.I.G. himself, some of his customers were pregnant women, yet he’s still widely admired and regarded as one of the best emcees ever. Artists such as E-Sham and Three-6 Mafia have taken references to devil worshipping and Satanism further than Jay-Z ever did. And there’s a long list of executives in Hip Hop that have profited from shady business deals including Eazy-E, Jerry Heller and the original Hip Hop executive, Sylvia Robinson of Sugar Hill Records. For all Jay-Z’s ridiculous net worth and cultural influence, I don’t think he or any other rapper have enough power to enact the kind of negative social change people think secret society leaders are capable of. To be sure, Jay has been part of some truly unscrupulous shit during his tenure as arguably the world’s most influential rapper. I’d give him the benefit of the doubt and say he’s evolved some since spitting “D’evils” in 1996. And even if you think he hasn’t, he’s probably not going to usher in the apocalypse.

    The End?

    “Grand wizard of the sixteens / That bust like elephant guns / And long magazines / I shine / Illuminate / Yeah my aura is awesome / Illuminati is us / We are the origin / Of all enlightenment / These pirates stole our shit…” –Prodigy, “Skull And Bones.”

    Ultimately, all of this is just one man’s opinion. If you do or don’t believe some secret society is behind the scenes controlling all of the world’s resources, one editorial probably won’t sway you in the opposite direction. Controversial, sometimes even secretive imagery will always have an appeal. And rappers have used far less to make their subpar albums into the type of water cooler conversation that boosts their sales. But every high-earning rapper that we see even remotely associated with the “all seeing eye” isn’t in some secret society. As the Jay-Z and Rick Ross (and even Soulja Boy to a lesser extent) have proved, they’re not above exploiting the innuendo surrounding their wealth for entertainment purposes. It’s understandable why someone like French Montana would laugh off all the Illuminati talk and ask if he could join via application.

    On a much larger level, powerful and corrupt people often congregate both in secret and in public. And at the very least, society’s most wealthy people are known to broker some of their biggest deals outside of the boardroom. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the gradual loss of civil liberties, concentration of wealth and resources and systematic oppression of marginalized groups is being orchestrated by a bunch of men in cloaks performing blood rituals and doing secret handshakes. Look at the political landscape over the last few decades. The people responsible for many of these conditions are doing their damage in broad daylight for everyone to see.

    1. The reason why I think the NWO is brought up and discussed so much in rap is for a couple of reasons.

      Firstly, rap is the music of the oppressed. There needs to be a “face” to this oppression if you’re going to be able to discuss it through your lyrics, and this face is the Illuminati/NWO/Masons/whatever.

      Secondly, it isn’t like it’s some insane conspiracy theory. It’s a reality. I know you’re reading this and dismissing it as retarded, but realize that in this day and age, it’s really not nations that run the world anymore. It’s multinational corporations.
      Look at the Iraq War for instance (2003). One of the groups who profited the most from the war was the corporation “Halliburton”. They are a global corporation with interests that span a wide range of industry. Most importantly, they profit off of the arms production needed for war (missles, planes, APCs, etc) as well as the increased crude oil made available to them after America “liberated” Iraq from Saddam. And who got Halliburton the government contract to produce all of this for the war effort? Dick Cheney, former president and CEO of Halliburton.

      So what I’m saying is that these rappers see that everything shown in the news isn’t everything that’s out there. They understand that corporate greed drives many of the greatest atrocities we’ve recently seen (Blood diamond harvesting in Africa so that you can buy a $10,000 engagement ring, Rain forest deforestation in South America (which can only happen after the local inhabitants have been either “removed” or slaughtered)

      1. Smartest post I’ve read so far. Take the rainbows and glitter out of it and its true. Its just the world we live in. To many people Jay-z is the illuminati,so once you disprove him being in it in their head you also disprove the whole idea (factual or not) of it. But like I said we’re as a people have our heads to far up celebrities asses. all the reality shows,the fact that domestic abuse wasn’t real until Chris and Rihanna,drugs and overdosing didn’t exist until Heath Ledger,its just people are silly. The whole thing with Nicki and Mitt Romney,why are these people important enough to spark political debates. If people so high and mighty that they want to beat religious people over the head on the internet; God’s not real that’s a lie,you’re an idiot…then why not be as adamant with the lifestyles you believe these celebrities live? These are completely made up but yet you’re still majorly enticed and in awe of it.

    2. I found this article to be pretty shitty. Basically you’re making a very weak case as to why the Illuminati is bs by looking @ the actions of rappers. So what if Jay-Z’s not chillin with lobbyists? That doesn’t prove that he’s NOT with a secret society. Then you want to compare what C-Murder did to what Jay-Z did when a murder is far different than bullshit crimes like stabbings and selling coke. This is a pretty BIASED article that poorly tries to convince the reader its just an obsession & it becomes evident that this is a shitty article when the author tries to defend his case using nonsensical bullshit. Sure, maybe they don’t do blood rituals with skulls and sacrifices and shit like that. Call it the Illuminati, call it a Hollywood Network…There’s definitely a connection between the wealthy & politics. The rich get richer the poor get poorer. I’ll start worrying about the “Illuminati” when the water I drink from starts killing people.

      1. What fucking secret society has their members make anti-establishment music or put their imagery in their works.
        That seems like a pretty dumb way of staying secret.

      2. Well D, it’s because the more attention was brought to it, the more the agenda took on a philosophical point of view, by making something evil trendy. Because if the people this Society looks up to is doing it, then you are still winning by pushing your agenda. It is a very common view of how Mass Media controls people. If they rebel against something, then show them subliminally, or make them think it’s cool through endorsement. Now you have kids all over throwing up Satanic hand signs because artists are doing it. Masonry has “secrets”, but no one knows their whole agenda and processes. You just get clues about things that don’t make sense. Take 9/11 for example. People can say conspiracy theory is bullshit all day, but why so many things don’t add up about that day is proof there is more to the situation, conspiracy or NOT. That is when the people in control give you bits and pieces of truth to confuse you, but never enough to expose themselves. It’s how intelligence works man. Read a book sometimes if you care to really know…

    3. This article kind of pulls me in two different directions. Because in one sense, it speaks on undeniable referencing to Illuminati and Secret Societies, but at the same time, it seems to teeter totter on the fence of it being more in our minds than reality. I will say this. IF artists like Jay-Z and Kanye, and what I don’t think is a coincidence related artists from Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj are NOT a part of a secret society, Satanic occult, then I want to know what THEIR obsession is with the symbolism associated with it! That is all I am saying. We can play the game of finding ways to mentally debunk the notion, but when you see things like Kanye having two girls with goat horns at the end of two pillars in Power to Jay-z pouring blood over a skull and wearing shirts that quote Aleister Crowley or his wife Beyonce, who is supposed to be an astute Christian wearing clothes with the Baphomet Devil God on it and throwing up the 666 symbol over her eye over and over and over again, then what do you expect people who think a little deeper about it to think? They are intentionally giving precedence to things of occultist and Satanic decree. But when people start to question that, then WE are the problem. Man, you can check it for yourself….look up the history of the symbolism they have shown over and over again and for it to be just coincidental is insane to me. I would rather NOT believe the music I love is following this path, but it is. You have Nicki Minaj, who is a bi-sexual rap artist who appeals to little girls, all while saying she has multiple personalities, one being of Roman Polanski, whose history has very REAL Satanic connections, and her most famous performance to date was her performing a Satanic ritual on National TV…all while my daughter is watching, and I am a conspiracy theorist?? Ok, sure. I guess these artists are just being daring and engaging, but if there is some truth to anything else, we are now the fools for making ourselves believe that all of this is just ok. Hip Hop was always egdy, because it represented the streets, but what is street about occult symbolism in everything you do? Rihanna even has the words “Princess of the Illuminati” flash across her body in a video. I as a fan either want it to stop or for them to just admit the truth and go from there. That is my 2 cents….

      1. God isn’t fucking real. The devil isn’t fucking real. They put shit like that in the videos because it looks cool and gets retards like you talking about it.

        I hate to be so blunt but jesus fuck I can’t stand reading the majority of the comments on this site.

      2. Riiight…that makes PERFECT sense. Leprechauns and Unicorns aren’t real either, so why aren’t they doing videos about that? That is your OPINION, and there is too much that people know and experience to act like what you are saying is just pure 100% fact. But just to be fair, I will play your game. If it’s not real, then why play the game and play sides on things that aren’t real? Regardless of what you are saying DUALITY is sure enough real bro. There is an account of good vs. bad, and if those artists think it’s “cute” to just be evil for the sake of doing it, then I still say it’s bullshit. In the same sense that I think Rep. vs. Dem is b.s., it STILL controls our society, just like theology is very much a apart of it as well, but just because you don’t play along doesn’t mean anything.

      3. bsaically,,,,,they stole our shit,,,because,,,a man with knowledge of self,,wisdom and understanding,,,,is all Eye seeing,,,

      4. Why don’t they talk about leprechauns and unicorns? Is that really your counter-argument to me?

        80% of Americans are christian. THATS OVER 250 MILLION PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN THIS RETARDATION, IN AMERICA ALONE! (And don’t think I only dislike christians, every religion is cancer to humanity, in an ideal world it would not exist)

        And I spout my “opinions” as fact because they ARE ACTUALLY BACKED UP BY SCIENCTIFIC FUCKING REASONING. Evolution isn’t a fucking theory. It’s proven.

        And good vs bad? what the fuck are you talking about. There are people. Those people make decisions that benefit THEM. Is that “evil”? Are the being guided to those decisions by “The Devil”? No you fucking twat, human emotion guides human decisions.

      5. I think that Cap has Asperger’s Syndrome or either Autism. Because of their literal thinking they tend to find the notion of something they can’t see as ridiculous. What goes even farther is they can’t understand other people comprehending it(this is my only issue with them,you can’t see it fine,but leave others be). Don’t rage at him,I have a couple in my family and there’s a high chance that my offspring will too,so to Cap I understand

      6. Hold on Cap…hold the fuck on…did you just say Evolution is proven? Really? And this is a flawless argument…because these monkeys are the product of a theory that contradicts iteself! So a comet just appeared out of random darkness and blew up and billions of years later, here me and you are arguing on the Internet. You got to be kidding me man. Science is as flawed as ANY religion! Matter does not create itself, hence the reason why Science is SEARCHING for what they deem THe God Particle, so they know if the bullshit then been spewing for decades is really bullshit. Again, nothing you are saying is based on 100% fact. It’s what you CHOOSE to believe in. Some people base their belief on EXPERIENCE, like, let’s say, being clinically dead for 10 minutes and seeing things that look like what Heaven and angels is described as….but they were Atheist when they died…wtf! Oh, they’re just CRAZY…that is fiction…yadda yadda. Ok, so you say it’s fictional and your counter-argument is the ever so non-fictional laws of science. Ok. Good luck with that. And never mind on the other stuff man. Duality has nothing to do with the Devil. Maybe read id vs. ego and some basic elements of psychology or sociology. And I like the twat thing, it’s always cute to be able to say anything online because you ca…lol. Your Mom has a dick….see how that worked? You offended? Should I be scared? GTFOH with that childish shit. If you want to debate, let’s do it, if you want to act brolic online, find another person to do that with.

      7. Man, how can I have an argument with you about something you don’t have the slightest understanding of.

        If you really think intelligent design is as valid an explanation as evolution, you’re deluded.

        Like if you want to have a discussion about this you can’t say things like “And this is a flawless argument…because these monkeys are the product of a theory that contradicts iteself! So a comet just appeared out of random darkness and blew up and billions of years later, here me and you are arguing on the Internet.” and expect me to take you seriously.

        Educate yourself on what Evolution and Science actually are, instead of spouting the same retarded non-sense that your Sunday School taught you.

      8. And to Shyne, calling someone autistic because they require evidence before they believe something is the quickest way to completely discredit anything else you have to say.

      9. lol, cap is the only person with half a brain who commented on this website and is called autistic.

        Dude, if jayz was in some kind of secret society shit, he woudn’t put propaganda in his videos and make it so fucking obvious so that kids like you would find out in 20 minutes research. He is just fucking selling his fucking music to retards like you who buy into the hype.

      10. Don’t go to Sunday school cap. In fact, while most were in Sunday school, I was reading books on Egyptian theology, Cointelpro, and the study of the Etheric World by a SCIENTIST name Findlay. See, you were the one who killed the seriousness of this by calling me a name. Most debates don’t go over well, when you call the person debating you a name like you 5. Furthermore, I spoke on something that despite the Theory of Evolution, cannot even be a Theory that can be created without the original Theory that still baffles all human beings. How the fuck we got here. Make sense? I didn’t learn that in church. What I did was pick up some books and read tons of info on religion, science, etc searching for a real answer and seeing flaws in ALL OF THEM! My argument was not pro-Religion, is was one that aligns itself with something I like to call just making sense. Why can’t God AND science be at work here? Because followers of both need enemies to be “valid”. That is how people work. Like, if you 2pac the situation, it’s is more compelling. But all the while, your beloved science has HUGE holes in it just like you say religion does. BUT…there is a science backed concept of SPIRITUALITY! Where spirit and God works in unison with scientific laws. That makes more sense to me. But that is not why I came here for. I was talking about Jay-Z aligning himself with things that are Satanic. You said he in only doing it to be cool. I say, why? You get mad at me because I questioned why someone would align themselves with something that is not a apart of their background, music before for well over a decade, and so and so forth, just to be “cool”. A man who is ALREADY rich, and considered cool. Like someone said in another post, Jay can make ANYTHING “cool”, but it was his thing to make something “fictional” cool by glorifying it. I am failing to see how that makes sense. It’s the whole science vs. religion thing all over again…and none of that answers the questions that need to be answered bro. That is all I am saying. DO AS THOU WILST…the meaning behind that and the person who created it is looking prophetic. We are now standing for NOTHING and to you that is ok. When you have a child and she wants to have sex with a dog or something, will you be ok with that? Because that person who said that phrase believed that was ok…and that is who Jay is endorsing……

      11. Man honestly what the FUCK are you talking about? My daughter is going to go fuck a dog because I haven’t accepted the guiding light of Jesus Christ into my life? Are you actually fucking retarded or are you saying all of this to troll?

        And saying that because science doesn’t have an explanation for every single event in the history of the universe makes it as valid an explanation as religion is, once again, FUCKING RETARDED. I’m done discussing this with you, you’re clearly indoctrinated to a degree thats unchangeable by comments on a Hip-Hop website.

      12. Comments like this, I don’t understand:

        JUANPOL:

        lol, cap is the only person with half a brain who commented on this website and is called autistic.

        Dude, if jayz was in some kind of secret society shit, he woudn’t put propaganda in his videos and make it so fucking obvious so that kids like you would find out in 20 minutes research. He is just fucking selling his fucking music to retards like you who buy into the hype.

        WHY, WHY WHY??? Why does Jay-Z have to sell false propaganda to anyone? Doesn’t he run whole record labels, clothing lines, restaurants, etc.? So why does this man change up and start putting these references in everything he does? You call that a smart business move? REally? Jay could have simply had Steve Jobs be in his video and try to appease to the Apple consumers if he was strengthening his brand. But come on man, now we are sitting here helping Jay look like some flawless business man. That is crazy to me. CRAZY! And then, anyone who agrees otherwise has a “half a brain” or they are “stupid”…lol. I guess. I didn’t come to here insult people who disagree, and those who do show something very, VERY specific about the type of person they are. Jay has no valid reason to randomly start up on this connection to Masonry…none at all. So much that his wife picked it up too, and she is by her own words a Christian to the fictional God they praise. Yet she is also throwing up 666 in videos. To be a smart businesswoman….ok….congrats Beyonce in disregarding your own beliefs to be a smart business woman. I am sure that sits well with the fake God you said you praised. How that makes sense, I don’t know, but, hey, as long as you believe those questioning it has half a brain, then I guess you are right….

      13. JMG, look man i believe in god too. But man, you don’t have a fucking idea what the theory of evolution is. You have no clue.

        Look, science creates order out of chaos, spots patterns that ocurr in nature and then tries to find an explaination of those patterns. Now those explainations can be of different kinds: creationists, inductive, deductive, empirist, realist, etc etc. You should read way more on that before you weight in pretending to be above science, read what type of science you’re arguing with. The fundamentals behind , say, “psychology” are not the same than behind mathematics of behind physics. Not saying one is better than the other, but the epistemology behind them is different as to what is considered science, read up on that before you critizise, and decide what you agree or don’t. dont just put “science” all in the same bag and say “nah thats bullshit”

        And finally. So, we have no proof where we came from. Does that men that thus, every economic law is wrong? Do mathematics not exist and are physics flawed because we don’t have proof of the big bang? Does that mean that, we know nothing of physics or architecture or that the theory of evolution is wrong because we don’t know our origins? please, give me a break. Read about the theory of evolution and then come back and tell me how you still think the same way.

      14. Juampol, I am started to think you and Cap are the same people. This is making my brain hurts. This is my last comment to either one of you.

        I never said I knew everything there is to know about Evolution, but I have a clue. Ok, let’s take a pause there. I have read a lot about it, and never said it wasn’t true, real, nothing close to that. AT ALL. But the idea that I never did and you are acting like I did again proves my point when I said, you can tell what type of person someone is when they turn into an attack dog.

        My whole concept of science argument was to a person who said SCIENCE makes RELIGION look stupid. Ok, let’s insert another pause here….**breathe**…**check email**

        Ok…my response to that was SCIENCE, which is a generalization of what you so nicely described it as…a study, and a body that typically is anti-GOD, has theories that contradict themselves in the same manner they or people say religion does. My argument was the one that mattered the most…how we got here. Maybe not all of science says we can from the Big Bang, maybe you and Cap believe otherwise, but in the general use of the word science, that theory makes no sense at all without including a piece of RELIGION! That is where I then said, maybe they both work together and so on and so fuckin fourth. For you to tell me what I do and don’t know about when I am generalizing to make points and not to write a thesis or go in depth about science or religion is crazy. You don’t know what I know or don’t know, what I do for a living, if I am with the CIA or if I am a transvestite with colorful clothes on. I was making general points to fend off one nigga, and from there all Hell broke loose!

        I only came here to say, if Jay is NOT a apart of a secret anything, why he keeps aligning himself with the symbollism attached to it makes no sense to me. You say it’s good business, I say, why THAT in all of the World of randomness would you choose to be good business. Remember when Jay was accused of biting? Why didn’t he bite more and more artists to be compelling and create a strong business model? Because he knows that in Hip Hop, you can’t bite. It’s a principle. Not in contrast, he has NEVER stood on the side of being religious, but never did he do anything like this before, where his messages are blatant in what they represent. If you say it’s to sell more records, then ok. We disagree. There are easier ways to sell records without making it look like you are selling your soul (literal and figurative). Most business don’t do that. That is why companies run on Ethic Codes and rules that adhere to society norms. But Jay-z is now the smarter business man. Ok. Cool. Now there is nothing else to debate on. We can talk science and religion offline if you want bro. Peace.

      15. I cannot do this man, I just can’t. How old are you bro? This is like a conversation with my 10 year old. Where I say shit like, 10 years ago, you were born. Me and your Mom had sex and you were conceived and 9 months later you were here. He will only hear born, sex, and 9 months and piece together a sentence just like yours? So you had sex for 9 months Daddy for me to be born? **sigh** I never said any of this…

        “””Cap:

        Man honestly what the FUCK are you talking about? My daughter is going to go fuck a dog because I haven’t accepted the guiding light of Jesus Christ into my life? Are you actually fucking retarded or are you saying all of this to troll?

        And saying that because science doesn’t have an explanation for every single event in the history of the universe makes it as valid an explanation as religion is, once again, FUCKING RETARDED. I’m done discussing this with you, you’re clearly indoctrinated to a degree thats unchangeable by comments on a Hip-Hop website.”””

        Never said anything about your child and Jesus. I said Jay-z used that quote from a man who promoted what I said. That is absolutely it!!!! Nothing about Jesus nothing about God…NOTHING! So, do the Math. You quote people who have bad points of views, you align yourself with them. Correct? If not, you can at least be aligned with them by others, correct? Like if I made an anti-semitic comment that was something Hitler said, would that not align me with his logic? Not his actions, before you twist that into something else, but his THOUGHTS. The guy who said what Jay-Z wore on a shirt in a fuckin video “Do As Thou Whilst” believed in some really sick shit. Good look it up. The example I gave about daughters and sex was one of them. That was all.

        The other thing is that I never said science has to have an explanation for anything, but come on man, is that not why people don’t follow religion??? People WANT explanations, proof, etc. Sure science can explain DNA and RNA, but it cannot explain simply where DNA and RNA came from. That is all I was saying. That gives as much strength to people believing in God. The idea that no one can give them a “this is why God isn’t real” answer!!

        And I a glad you are done. THANK YOU! Just learn how to stop taking out bits and pieces of things to create counter-points or act like that dilutes peoples points man. That honestly is what kids do. Seriously. I still love you as a brother man, real talk, I just think you seeing things SO differently may come back to haunt you one day. Peace.

      16. Dude honestly, this is a direct quote from you “When you have a child and she wants to have sex with a dog or something, will you be ok with that? Because that person who said that phrase believed that was ok…and that is who Jay is endorsing……”

        You asked if I was OK with my daughter fucking a dog, because I don’t think Jay-Z is a demon trying to plant evil thoughts in the minds of the world through secret images. You don’t see how saying things that fucking stupid lowers the level of discourse we’re having to a level where I no longer want to participate.

        You go on to say science can’t explain where DNA came from, and that is why people want religion, because it comforts them to have an explanation.

        Well guess what, just because people believe something DOESN’T MAKE IT TRUE. You need to actually have something that backs up and supports your beliefs, which Science does and Religion DOES NOT.

        And no you can’t use the bible as proof of the christian god, because then what prevents me from using the Torah or Koran as proof of Judaic or Muslim Gods.

        These are fucking stories invented to control people, the sooner you realize that and remove religion from your life, the sooner your view of the world will become unclouded.

      17. Whateva Cap you and Juan both Break a Leg before the Sun Sets and Rises again lol. Maybe when we get that Cloud From Over Our Heads you call religion we can get this Monkey Off Our Back and everything from then on will be a Piece of Cake for Us.

    4. I belive that the person who wrote this is trying to down play realty. Jay Z is werido and I would pray for him.It is not an obsession its the truth. also knowing that media and news are censored I expected this to be also, which it was?. The point is evil .prodigy gay ass is even off to me and him and Alex Jones are one in the same. Talk put don’t do nothing at the same time playing both sides of the fence. When will there be a time when a journalist. Can report facts and not watered down trash? Hip hop is 85 percent homosexual. And 90 percent evil. To the point I have to listen to and dig for the most underground hip hop to even listen now a days its evil. I’ll will wait for my kingdom. In Heaven. What is it to gain the world and lose your soul… I do no respect. The uncle tom log house in house mentality aka willy lynch syndrome… This article sucks just like rap music.. Try again ..Wake up people ….This is real…God is almighty. This article. Mines well have been on fox News.

    5. aaannd herrre we go,,,,,,,the wicked ones tool is influence,,and ignorance,,,combine that with,,,with struggle,,,and poverty,,,and the media,,,then throw some dollars at it,,,,and you have rap music 2012,,money isn’t the root of all evil its the love and lust for money,and when niggas do or say anything for dough,,they just end up being pawns,,,because the primary focus of the powers that be is finance,,,,the wicked ones strength is word play, verbal,communication,,,,shawn carter is a pistol,with that,,,,imagine if he was on some ultra pro-black shit,,,,his ass would be dead,,or have a strong powerful positive nation of hip-hopper following him,,,instead,,he glorified his come up of survival in the belly of the beast,,and how ill he is and now hes filthy,rich,,,,only in america,,,,the powers that be are human their influence is evil,,,,case closed

      1. Good post. The sad part is that the Hip Hop fans are a group of people who ASPIRE to be ignorant. The dumber you act the better! You are gully if you have a grill, tats on your neck, and fuck madd bitches all the time. So, guess what, you are also the MOST controllable, because you stand for bullshit. If no one wants to believe in ANY conspiracy, EVER, then at least know this! If the Government or that 1% of people who control the wealth wanted to up and fuck us in the ass, then we have absolutely no way to protect ourselves, because they made sure we couldn’t! That is the unadulterated 100% truth! The idea of Democracy was so that People had balancing power to the Gov. Now, we are so divided and stupid that we really have no control. There are 5 major mass media companies…5! Not 6, but 5! if all 5 of them wanted to put out ___________ message, then guess what a large majority of us will do. Take it in and be controlled. Case in point, it’s wrong to say God anywhere now, but Men and Women can now kiss on National TV. If you oppose that, you are wrong. You can’t stand for ANYTHING right now, because the Mass Media pushes agendas we are too dumb to oppose. That is the truth and the design of Mass Media. Why would you want niggas with grills, neck tats, and hoes with any REAL power? Exactly. As this Country progressively gets worse, THEN people will want things to change and by that time it will be too late. Mark my words.

    6. Glad they finally let someone who can write an article, write an article.. this website was looking grim for a minute.

      I think it’s crazy how on point Wu-Tang was in that interview lol

    7. This article was very informative and well written. However, the downplaying of Jay’s power because he doesn’t have billions_ TOTALLY disagree with ! As he is the voice that plays over and over in our ears as well as many artists. They are played everywhere we go and the danger is that a teen will listen to the message continually until it becomes real to them and their subconsious. There are several video of how spells are cast through this music. So to clearly come out and speak against God shows that we should beware for these artists are used as puppets by the 1% elite who are ushering in the New World Order and the coming of what prophesy says the Anti-Christ and changing our thinking drastically so we will welcome Him with open arms. So let’s not downplay the harm.

    8. Evolution is FAR FROM proven.. maybe your ancestors were apes but MINE WERE NOT!! GOD created the heavens and earth, men then animals! If we evolved then there would be NO MORE APES ! THIS is an opinion not a face at all! IT’S A FACT JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS, and died for your sins..not apes sins..

      1. Where’s your proof? I want to be on the winning team and I’m scared to choose wrong. Not patient enough to wait until it is revealed to me. So once again where’s your proof?

    9. fuck all deze weak niggaz. So Icy Boi! is back in town. me and YMCMB empire will rule da world. we created a new culture. its deeper den hip hop. Lil Wayne is our savior, messiah. Birdman, Nicki and Drake are da generation of emperors. Tyga for president. swag

    10. Haven’t read yet but I want to preemptively facepalm the comments section now. Between the Illuminati and Religion inevitably mentioned I know there will be plenty of stupidity. I’m just saving myself time.

      1. It wasn’t so bad man. Most of the really dumb trolls won’t read anything like this. You might have one or two like So Icy Boi saying random Rick Ross shit just to carry some legacy of being a dumb fuck…which I applaud the nigga for being consistent…lol. There was actually some G.E.D. having ass niggas responding…

    11. why is this site turning into alex jones meets hiphop? this piece of wack journalism is a joke and a major reason ppl hate media. bc crazy az wu and fruity az ceelo talk illuminati we all supposed to do what now? tired of this site trying to sell bill coopers baph, the dude had mental problems and killed himself, his book was trash. instead of getting into this nonsense why dont you suggest a real book to read or write something that will make these young folks think for once. guess what idiots, the gov does not need to put a chip in all you fools, do you carry around a cell phone? then bc of that you are being watched. it has ur contacts, gps, audio and video. and a nice app that you can post anything that comes to your mind for all the world to read. hip hop is soft bc garbage sites like this. stay away from the lollipop kids and focus on the real artists.

    12. “the greatest trick of the devil(s) was making people believe he didnt exist”

      research, think, and draw conclusions on your own or be forever led in directions not of your own choosing.

    13. Just the fact that this article exists is proof that the Illuminati doesn’t.

      Think about it, if a group this powerful existed, strong enough to start wars, rob the economy blind and manipulate the entertainment business through subliminal mind control tactics, don’t you think they would shut this conversation down instead of letting it carry on??

      What do you think the Illuminati is doing when you post Youtube videos “exposing” them??

      Illuminati Member # 1 – “Drats, there exposing our secrets on youtube again, what are we gonna do about it”

      Illuminati Member #2 “NOTHING BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”

      Get the fuck outta here man, Youtube got a youtue filter that keeps pornagraphy off it, you dont think the illuminati would utilize that technology, delete your account, track your IP address and kill you??

      Truth is, none of this shit is real and that’s why they allow you to carry on about it in public forums. They probably think its funny, cause if they do exist they know your all so far off base and clueless as to what its really about that your not a threat.

      Anybody with common sense should be able to see this without an explanation

      1. Once conversation has started and an idea is implanted into the minds of countless people there is no way to end it. The only way for the “Illuminati” to end the conversation would be to actually implement a new world order and implement a totalitarian regime. Meaning there wouldn’t even be room for conversation because it would be evident they do exist right? no brainer. Come on guys, step your brain game up damn.

    14. JMG knows what he is talking about. You dont have to believe what you here of see but it is in plane sight. The Devils greetest trick was to make you believe he doesnt exist! Now you have rappers openly promoting satanic symbols and when asked about it they luagh it off like it a joke! Thats the devil at work. Its messed up to where people dont even believe there eyes! They see non-sense and make every excuse to say its not real. But I realize that in this world the majority of people wont listen and thats fine but its our job to voice the truth for the few who will listen and thats all you can do!

    15. I would say that first off the “illuminati” controversy isn’t even taboo. It’s just absurd to consider the idea that the new world order, if there ever was one, would bring in hip hop artists to do their bidding. Also, the reason that top 40 artists don’t cover controversial topics is because the general public no longer has any interest in such things. don’t blame the artists blame the audience for being so one dimensional.

    16. DON’T YOU FUCKERS GET IT???? YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE AN ILLUMINATI FOR MANKIND TO DO EVIL THINGS TO EACHOTHER!! WAKE UP! MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WRONGED YOU IN YOUR LIVES IS SOMEONE YOU KNOW! Stop crying and take command of your lives.

    17. So if these rappers are so evil, where’s the crime? What about Jay’z had changed since the controversy with him started? People been pointing fingers at these entertainers for years..Jay-z has been criticized, but what were the results of his lyrics? Someone buying a new watch?
      The point is, people are not looking at the big picture. What about the lobbyists and the people who are creating your laws? While ur so busy on Jay and Ye’s cocks,There’s people out there making powerful moves and u have no idea who the fuck they are.

      What this guy was bringing up was real-life-examples of this “conspiracy” by bringing up Grover Norquist. No one knows who he is, but everybody knows about that one part of the Kanye West video. Stop living in a fantasy. You’ve decided to analyze some fucking rappers so u have no idea who the real people in charge are.

      1. Co-Sign my dude. I’m seriously ready to throw up at the stupidity of this generation of morons called hip-hop fans.

      2. Here this argument goes…

        What are lobbyists down wrong also? How is a war in Iraq for example hurting you? All Jay is doing is promoting messages of people who don’t like you and me. THAT IS ALL! Nothing wrong with that? In fact, I am wrong for not agreeing with that view. You know, a moron because I am bothered by what a message can become if it was into taken into action. So if I told your family member to kill themselves 1000 times a day and they finally did, would you not be upset at me at all? If not, cool! The power of influence is a power man. Jay could also take this power of his and put positive images up, but he doesn’t. I am not saying he is doing this to be a apart of destroying people, but he damn sure is not uplifting anything but someone else’s agenda by doing what he is doing. If that is cool with you, then cool. But if this was a different figure and different messages, niggas would be mad. If this was Backwoods-Z and he flashed pictures of hangings and lynchings, then I doubt anyone would be ok with him being edgy. I am just, as a consumer, wondering why the nigga is choosing THIS route, whether he hurts people or not…

      3. “What are lobbyists down wrong also? How is a war in Iraq for example hurting you?”

        Thats some of the dumbest shit i’ve ever seen written. You’re saying these things aren’t as bad as Jay flashin some hand sign to fuck with the people watching his video.

        The deaths of hundreds of thousands of people is less bad, in your mind, than Yeezy putting a chick with goat horns in his video.

        You’re a fuckin idiot.

      4. JMG- You’re reaching bad dude. How the fuck did you get Jay Z so far into your subconscious? You don’t even know this guy and he doesn’t know you! Niggas didn’t even get tattoos or claim Thug Life until Pac came around are you cool with that? JAY Z IS NOT DOING A GODDAMN THING TO YOU! Jay Z is NOT gunning niggas down in Chicago everyday. Jay Z is NOT molesting kids after he preaches on Sundays. Jay Z is NOT in congress. Focus on REAL shit, real progressive thoughts.

      5. You are right Anonymous poster…lol. He is deep in my sub-conscious and I am only focusing on him and none of those other things because I made comments in reference to an article about him. I actually served my Country and been in wars…you? Was listening to Jay when I had the chance to. But I understand, if you say that is ALL I am focusing on, then it makes me look bad and invalid. Kind of like how lawyers spin things to make anything you say wrong. That is cool. I will take that and say thanks for enlightening me on who I am as a person. I will try to do more than just talk about Jay-Z Anonymous poster.

    18. I’ve studied Secret Societies for many years and way before mainstream media and the Hip-Hop culture. We enslave ourselves by having the audacity to think that these so-called Illuminati artists are powerful. Please tell me what has Kanye done to threaten humanity..shit 808’s and Heartbreaks smdh? Black people are the reason why they continue to live in spiritual darkness.

      1. The power of influence is a huge power man, that is all I will say. Again in the example of religion…people are against it more and more because of influences.

      2. This is the truest thing I’ve read. Personally I don’t see how someone’s beliefs and theories could rub off on me when I am SUPPOSED to have my own mind.

    19. THIS ARTICLE is for dummies concerned about dumb shit.
      This article is for lazy fucks wanting a handout.
      This article is for motherfuckers thinking Jay Z is THAT important.
      This article is for niggas who kill niggas and want to blame someone else.
      This article is for HHDX to get hits.
      This article is for the poor me crowd.
      This article is for children.
      This article for someone who doesn’t have a job.
      This article is for people who say they believe in god but NOT REALLY because they fear the “illuminati”.
      THE ROTHCHILDS rule the economies of the world NOT some ghetto ass niggas from the hoods of America!

    20. HHDX, GET THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT off your site! You know damn well these kids need more constructive information than this defeatist SHIT! Let’s hear a write up about ALL THE GOOD, POSITIVE things these same rappers have done. SO JUST MAYBE they’ll rap about it more.

    21. i didnt read it all but i wouldnt be suprised if they did exist. the members of wu tang didnt even like each other they were put together by someone with money

      and if they do exist i dont really care

    22. The writer has it twisted, Montana isn’t laughing off the illuminati rumours…him and that clown Westwood clearly said: “Where do I sign up?”.

      Seriously, why is everyone in such denial that evil forces run the world and corruption is rampant everywhere?

      The point is that a minority of greedy billionaires make decisions in secret AND in public, that determines the future of the vast majority of the world and all these spineless entertainers are jumping out the window in greater numbers and selling their souls to align themselves with all this negativity.

      Thats why music is dumbed down and non lyrical, beats sound synthetic and hollow, and all anyone talk about is worshipping money and a bunch of other irrelevant bullshit. That’s also why you see the same symbolism repeated constantly (I doubt you can even get a mainstream push now unless you promote the devilish agenda).

      People need to pull their heads out their asses and see things for what they are.

    23. Jay Z is bad but DMX & Eminem is good? Being a mogul, owning a team and putting that business in his hometown is bad but cutting up your wife and cursing your mom is good? Bringing water to Africans is bad and employing people from his hood is bad but being a crack head jailbird is good? Um OK yawl.

    24. This is ALL about Jay Z period. Haters hate what they don’t understand and what they see in the mirror.

      Jay keep doing you.

    25. And to the other anonymous dude, I was being sarcastic. I should have known better than to try and act like I am smart and talk to a group of niggas. Shit doesn’t EVER work….

    26. How bout focusing on Bill”Slick Willie”Clinton, Barry “Obama”Soetoro, Alan Greenspan,George Soros,Rupurt Murdoch, Alan Greenspan, The Bushes, Rothchilds,British Royals, “Helicopter”Ben Bernanke, you know the real power stucture and those pulling their strings. HipHop and especially these unfortunately extremely youngins that dominate this current culture are some of the most delusional mofos ever. To have the gull, temerity and absolute cockiness to believe that the ppl who really rule this planet give 2 sh*ts about hiphop,its artist or its culture to infultrate it. Now thats a conspiracy theory if ive ever heard one. Wake Up and do some research and its starts with YOUR Puppet POTUS(the position as a whole)

    27. Interesting article, the question about the Illuminati in Rap seems to be massive because there’s no way to prove they exist but no way to disprove it, fight the system or die!

    28. People believe in the illuminati because they are idiots and want their youtube conspiracy theories to out wiegh real life. Yes the rich and powerful divide and conquer to keep their money but they don’t have to believe in bullshit like devils to do it.

      1. Right, because a God-fearing man would control the world the exact same way? Shut up coon. Read a book, open your mind.

    29. illuminati = zionist jews who control the world
      ex:( robert murdoch “media empire”- Google,facebook,nike,mc donalds,pepsi,cocacola,levis,hp,universal music,Walt Disney empire,AOL Time Warner,viacom…..)

    30. What i don’t get is that people call Jay Z illuminati but Chef Keef ( whatever) can make a song I don’t like and be not even looked at as a devil worker.

      Sucess is a scary thing to some people that they make up a story that if you make you have to sell your soul to make it. How does that not apply to pastors who make as much as actors and ball players?

      Jay Z and Puff worked hard for their sucess but can’t be that way because it is only for white people to get rich. We have only 2 billionaire black people in this world and a hand full of rich black people. We

      1. Bruh, you actually think these international banking families are worried about a simple nigga named “chief keef” or any other rapper at that?!? They’re just USING them to push out their agenda. And once their agenda is instituted, then they’re getting rid of them niggas. They only care about their BLOODLINE FAMILIES. Look up how much the Rothschild family are worth. It’s crazy that you don’t never see them in Forbes magazine. Puppets like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or Donald Trump are little league compared to the Rothschild or Rockefeller family. And no Negro can’t get in the illuminati because it’s a bloodline thing. They’re only puppets for them. Just like the white entertainers as well.

    31. RASHAD
      RESPECT…..Its GOOD to see a writer touch on this subject. Especially within HIP HOP music and culture . I like to see y ou take it much further . RESPECT.

    32. niggas who fall for the illuminati shit are hella naive. you all gettin trolled by rappers who are just havin fun already.

      it’s become beyond obvious that they throw that shit in intentionally lol.

      1. “The elite banking families (Rothschild’s, Rockefeller’s, Oppenheimer’s, DuPont’s, etc..) do exist dumbass. Let’s see if people are being “naive” when Obama make that RFID chip implemented by March 23, 2013. And if you don’t take it (which you shouldn’t), then they throwing your ass up in a concentration camp. The RFID chip is actually in his healthcare program on page 1004. How’s that conspiracy when the shit actually exists?!? Talking about hypocrisy smh. And America will be destroyed by Iran & Russia in WW3. This is nothing but Bible prophecy. The shit is going to happen whether you bird brains believe it or not.”

        ETHERED

    33. lol at niggas who believe all this bullshit.

      satan devils demons monsters, ghosts spirits, gods angels illuminati, heaven hell etc

      grow up please

      1. Dude shut the hell up. The elite banking families (Rothschild’s, Rockefeller’s, Oppenheimer’s, DuPont’s, etc..) do exist dumbass. Let’s see if people are being “naive” when Obama make that RFID chip implemented by March 23, 2013. And if you don’t take it (which you shouldn’t), then they throwing your ass up in a concentration camp. The RFID chip is actually in his healthcare program on page 1004. How’s that conspiracy when the shit actually exists?!? Talking about hypocrisy smh. And America will be destroyed by Iran & Russia in WW3. This is nothing but Bible prophecy. The shit is going to happen whether you bird brains believe it or not.

    34. Entertainment is used to subdue the masses, make them passive and accepting, and distract from the real issues. The powers that be will use popular culture to advance their aims. Hip hop has always had ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ aspects. It seems to me that at the moment the negative predominates. I think it is a conspiracy, in that the the powers that be, who own the major record labels, have conspired to promote a brand of hip hop that is materialistic, superficial and devoid of any real substance. i think they recognized the influence that hip hop had, and took the necessary steps to get it under control…

    35. holy shit only1success, you’re more paranoid than I thought. this nigga talking about ‘bible prophecies and shit lol. that lame ass book of myths was written by man nigga, you need to grow up and stop buying into the white mans religion.

      nigga talking about chips being implanted in people and how we’re boutta be in concentration camps.

      holy shit you’re paranoid, do you even leave your house in fear that the illuminati are gonna take you to their secret lair?

      sad nigga living his life in fear. pathetic only1success, very pathetic

      1. Call me what you want. The shit is STILL GOING TO HAPPEN. You can’t be that dumb to not see that this country is falling economically & morally. Ancient kingdoms like Babylon, Egypt, Persian empire, Greece, & Rome all fell. America is no different because they got all their philosophies from those ancient kingdoms. Just like the economy was doing poorly in ancient Rome, they gave the people “sports & entertainment” to not let them know what’s really happening. No difference today. They’re doing the SAME EXACT SHIT TODAY. And dumb ass niggas like yourself are falling right for it. They love simple ass niggas that think this is a joke or conspiracy. You’re a coon that doen’t take no initiative to actually research it out for yourself. You deserve death.

    36. The “Devil’s” greatest trick was to deceive everyone that he doesn’t exist. Some of you people need to get off of these hiphop sites and do some research, there are many things beyond the face value of some of these artists, this is all just a psyop to plant the message of the illuminati into our media to condition your conscience to accept the the new world order when the time comes. Remember question everything and most importantly get right with your spirituality because this all goes beyond our physical world they feed off of the worlds negative energy.Love Thy Enemy. One Love. God Bless All.

      1. Job 9:24
        “24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?”

        Hmmm wonder who that is talking about…

        And for the Bryson clown. Fuck religion. The Bible is compacted with laws, statutes, & commandments. When the white man (the biblical edomites) came into power, they took the Bible and made it a “religious” book. The banking elites in this society know that you Negroes, Hispanics, & Native Americans are the REAL ISRAELITES IN THE BIBLE. Why you think they cut off your foreparents’ hands or feet if they picked up a Bible?!? And our foreparents were singing HEBREW songs on them slaveships. Just read Deuteronomy 28th chapter & tell me what people TODAY do those prophecies fit..

        Don’t take my word for it. Research it out for yourself.

    37. everybody got a conspiracy theory and heres mine. whoever tells you that jay z puffy oprah will smith etc are illuminatti devil worshippers say that cause they want black people to stay poor. they want to trick you into believing that getting money is wrong and you have to walk with the devil to do so. bullshit. make money (don’t let the money make you) but get your paper

    38. None of the shit that you have heard of the Illuminati is true, it’s not. Matter fact, the only reason why anyone gives a damn about the issue about the Illuminati because Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Eminem or Kanye mentioned it in a song. Case and point, do you know what a Freemason is? Course you don’t ’cause you’re a fucking moron and your favorite rapper don’t talk about them. The Masons are a real secret society TODAY. They actually have some power and influence on what’s going on some aspects of society but not to its entirety. The Illuminati were modeled after them, they have REAL chapters, buildings, but of course regular ass people can’t go in, but they’re there. They actually have a list of names of the members… A REAL LIST.

      You know who are some of the members? Walt Disney, George W. Bush Sr. you know who’s not in the registry? Rappers. What type of secret society emotionally stunted, immature, narcissistic douchebags that make them say dumb shit and make them cause a scene? There are NO ENTERTAINERS OF ANY KIND THAT ARE IN ANYWAY ASSOCIATED IN THE ILLUMINATI. People might ask “Oh why are rappers talking about the Illuminati so much if they’re not in it?” TOO SEEM INTERESTING. Shapes have nothing to do with anything either. You know where you guys are gonna see a lot of pyramid shapes? A bag of fucking Doritos you dumb nuts.

      1. There is a reason why Teachers are paid FARRRR LESSSSS than entertainers…… it’s because the entertainers are the REAL teachers. And what are they teaching!? Satanic shit DURRRRRRRRRRR

    39. Just the fact that this article exists is proof that the Illuminati doesn’t.

      Think about it, if a group this powerful existed, strong enough to start wars, rob the economy blind and manipulate the entertainment business through subliminal mind control tactics, don’t you think they would shut this conversation down instead of letting it carry on??

      What do you think the Illuminati is doing when you post Youtube videos “exposing” them??

      Illuminati Member # 1 – “Drats, there exposing our secrets on youtube again, what are we gonna do about it”

      Illuminati Member #2 “NOTHING BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”

      Get the fuck outta here man, Youtube got a youtue filter that keeps pornagraphy off it, you dont think the illuminati would utilize that technology, delete your account, track your IP address and kill you??

      Truth is, none of this shit is real and that’s why they allow you to carry on about it in public forums. They probably think its funny, cause if they do exist they know your all so far off base and clueless as to what its really about that your not a threat.

      Anybody with common sense should be able to see this without an explanation

      1. …The Secret Society is real. They know a regular person reading the article,”Will not not do no Action at ALL”. So, it does not matter if you talk about it, “What are you going to do?”…Nothing!!!…Bottom Line!!!…No one knows if the rappesr are in these organizations truthfully!!!…But these are “Ancient Sciences that help you be a better person”…THEY MAKE EVERYONE ELSE THINK ITS DEVILS LITERATURE!!!…

    40. Time to end this G.O.A.T. foolishness.

      In this constant debate about Jay-Z being the best ever I read things like “Nas will destroy Jay-Z” or “Eminem got a better flow than Jay”

      Those are OPINIONS.

      When will you fools learn that you can’t win a debate with OPINIONS. Every rapper has a different style based on where they are from, the time period in which they were most successful, and their unique personality. We all can go on for days about our personal preferences but in a debate criteria like this is completely IRRELEVANT and automatically BIASED.

      The only way to win a debate is with cold hard FACTS. And the fact of the matter is that, when you weigh all of the tangible criteria (Sales, Critical Acclaim, Consistency, Longevity, and Impact) Jay-Z makes the strongest case for the G.O.A.T.

      Eminem has sold nearly twice as much as Jay-Z, and he is Jay’s equal when it comes to longevity and impact. But Em lacks the consistency or critical acclaim that Jay-Z has (Im not talkin cult/fanboy classics, Im talkin CERTIFIED classics. XXL/Rolling Stone/Source approved) Eminem is VERY close though.

      Nas has enjoyed more critical acclaim and more overall respect in the hip-hop community through the years. And he’s definitely equal to Jay with longevity and impact. But he hasn’t been no where near as much of a consistent presence in hip-hop as Jay has. And he is obviously lacking in the sales department.

      Lil Wayne just may be the most consistent rapper of all time. He’s no slouch when it comes to longevity and impact either. His glaring flaw? In his 12 year career Lil Wayne has yet to drop a truly critically acclaimed classic album (and it can be done in this climate. just look at kanye’s discography). Also, contrary to popular beleif, Wayne lacks in the sales department. Sure, Tha Carter III and IV are blockbuster albums, but his OVERALL sales of 10 mil US pale in comparison to Jay-Z’s 31 mil.

      2pac is a touchy subject. When it comes to impact, pac takes the cake. No other rapper touched the world like 2pac did. He, like Em, has also sold more than Jay and he was very consistent in his time. Sadly, 2pac passed before his time which allowed Jay-Z to surpass him in longevity and critical acclaim.

      LL Cool J was the prototype for what a G.O.A.T. could be. He has enjoyed the most longevity, and he was fairly consistent, but his sales, acclaim and overall impact are no where near the likes of 2pac, Eminem, and ofcourse Jay-Z.

      Biggie, Rakim, Common, Snoop, the list goes on. All of these MC’s are great but none of them have the total G.O.A.T. package like Jay-Z does.

      Jay-Z is the 3rd highest selling rapper of all time, and the richest. He’s one of the most acclaimed (perhaps only rivaled by his boy Kanye). He dropped multi-platinum albums YEARLY from 96′-03′, and he is still going strong today. He’s been in the game since 88′. He’s impacted hip-hop in countless ways from starting one of the 1st successful MC-owned record labels, to being the 1st non-athlete with a signature shoe, to surpassing the likes of Elvis with #1 albums.

      Jay-Z is without question the Greatest MC Of All Time. Period. You don’t have to listen to him everyday (Im currently on my Kendrick wave). You don’t even have to like him. But for goodness sake, RESPECT THE FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!

    41. It’s far easier to dismiss someone as crazy than it is to do what folks like this author and many others have done, and that is the research that is required to understand these things. You can say someone believes in this stuff is naive but the fact of the matter is if you were to sit down and have a conversation with one of “us” the you would realize just how ignorant you would seem compared to a person that is willing to take the time and read about this stuff. There are books readily available on archive dot org that go back hundreds of years spelling out the conspiracy. These people actually write their plans down, but they count on use being caught up in the entertainments they so graciously provide for us. Why do you think the athletes and celebrities make so much damn money? They get the fame and the fortune cause they have a very important job within the system. Keeping us entertained with mindless shit, so that you don’t have the slightest clue what the hell is going on right in front of you. I’m sure you guys got it all figured out though right?

      1. Damn right! Most of these folk on here are already influenced by the crap put out by these artists I guarantee most of you think life is about money, and sex but what happens when your life ends you just wasted a short life on earth, and now will spend an eternity without full consciousness. Everyone just needs to get in touch with their spirituality so we as humans can move on past all of this greed,lust, and manipulation.
        Love Thy Enemy. One Love. God Bless All.

    42. WE ALL KNO THAT THE ILLUMINATI IS THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT DUH!!! IT’S JUST A GROUP IN OUR GOVERNMENT THAT’S KILLING PEOPLE THEY KILL 2PAC CAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT HIM TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT THEY KILL BIGGIE TO ACT LIKE IT WAS WEST VS EAST COAST WE KNOW THE BULLSHIT PUSSIES IT’S THE GOV FUCK THEM

    43. Why didn’t the author of this article include 2Pac’s theory on the illuminati? Killuminati WASN’T his way of wanting to get rid of the hidden group. He wanted artist to stop using that as their excuse as to what’s going on.

    44. Before you write me off LISTEN to what I have to say.

      You can’t tell me Jay-Z is not apart of the Illuminati. Why would he say stuff in his lyrics like “And Jesus can’t save you, Life starts when the church ends”–Empire State of Mind. … Now that you see those lyrics explain to me how Beyonce a woman who is 12 years younger than Jay-Z and claims to be a Christian marries somebody like Jay-Z.
      At first I thought these conspiracy theorists were bat Sh!t crazy, but then I started listening closer to the lyrics. Take for instance, Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album. He mentions the devil too many times on that album and he also mentions supernatural stuff like seances like in his song Dark Fantasy. On Young Jeezy’s Put On song Kanye says “I got the Jesus on a chain, Man that don’t mean sh!t…”
      Kanye West even said in one of his Freestyles and I quote “I sold my soul to the Devil, I know its a crappy deal, it came with a few toys like a happy meal”
      Now I know Kanye West claims he doesn’t know what the Illuminati is in T.I.’s song Welcome to the World, but I am not buying it.
      Kanye West even says in the song OTIS, “I made Jesus Walks I am never going to hell”

      HECK, They even made a song called “NO CHURCH IN THE WILD” Now listen closely to the lyrics and TELL me that song isn’t Sacrilegious.

      Put the pieces together people. I didn’t even have to watch a Stupid Youtube video to compile this evidence.

      1. the illuminati might exist, but ur posts reeks of superstitious nonsense “he mentions the devil two many times” lol rappers will say anything to be provactive-especially if they know you are spooked by something. Im sure many if not most of them will sell out for a buck. But if the illuminati exists they are controlling things from wayyy behind the scenes. Theyre not walking up with apps handing to Jayz or anyone else. Why would they even have to, theyre already winning-have been for a long time. No need for any hands on-confrontational movie type theatrics.

    45. First off the imagery isn’t just in hip hop forget hip hop, look at rock, pop, RnB music videos – Bieber, K.Perry,Rihanna,Usher, Beyonce & more – research yourself on the known satanic/masonic rituals in they vids- Why do you think its only a handful of artist on the radio, there are many better artist – now that 2012 is here they need to get they point across by pushing the same artist, even if the songs are years old-all to keep the ones in the light still out there- keep you entertained and not understanding the realness- they lyrics may be dumb but the videos speak-read between the lines

    46. “And Jesus can’t save you, Life starts when the church ends”–Empire State of Mind.

      ^ translation: catching the holy “GHOST” (smh) and singing a few psalms on Sunday does NOT excuse the b*llsh*t you do doing the week. LIVE THAT LIFE DAILY, not momentarily.

      Seances? I could say that about Latin hymns from the Catholic Church. “No Church In The Wild”? Have you ever seen a church in the wild forest where bears, coyotes, and deer live? Is that where they hang out when it rains?

      “A detailed account of who was present at the dinner on that January 20 night and the plan they worked out to bring down Obama is provided by Robert Draper in ‘Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the US House of Representatives’, published this week.

      “In his book, Draper opens with the heady atmosphere in Washington on the days running up to the inauguration and the day itself, which attracted 1.8 million to the mall to witness Obama being sworn in as America’s first black president.

      Those numbers contributed to a growing sense of unease among Republicans as much the defeat in the White House race the previous November. The 15 Republicans were in a sombre mood as they gathered at the Caucus Room in Washington, an upscale restaurant where a New York strip steak costs $51.

      Attending the dinner were House members Eric Cantor, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra, Dan Lungren, Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan and Pete Sessions. From the Senate were Tom Coburn, Bob Corker, Jim DeMint, John Ensign and Jon Kyl. Others present were former House Speaker and future and failed presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and the Republican strategist Frank Luntz, who organised the dinner and sent out the invitations.

      The dinner table was set in a square at Luntz’s request so everyone could see one another and talk freely. The session lasted four hours and by the end the sombre mood had lifted: they had conceived a plan. They would take back the House in November 2010, which they did, and use it as a spear to mortally wound Obama in 2011 and take back the Senate and White House in 2012, Draper writes”

      ^ now if you can read this, realize there’s a good chance some other guys who are richer than these dudes are at some disclosed palace resort sharing caviar and bitches whilst planning the next global money grab.

      STILL think there’s no “Illuminati”?

    47. First of all i dont really believe there is a Illuminati….My question is so if niggas is winning they in tha Illuminati now? Kanye West & Jay-Z have said they not in it in songs. Whats tha point of sayin they not, if they can dodge tha question… To me i feel like they use tha Illuminati as a marketing tool for buzz or keep people talking bout there name. People are so interesting in now that it has taking on another life.

      1. Is not just black people,must we niggas play the race card every time. Lady gaga is white and she is well known for being a puppet,same with almost every pop artist.

    48. HOL-EE SH!T

      SALUTE 2 RASHAD

      SCIENCE IS ON THEM YELLOW PAGES N!GGAS

      DR YORK HAD BUSHWICK FROM MYRTLE & DEKALB AV DOWN HUMBOLDT LOCKED DOWN WITH THE ANSARU COMMUNITY

      ILL PIZZA SHOP & THE STUDIO HAD A CRAZY ROOF

      TWISTA FROM THE CHI WAS THERE THAT’S WHEN HE WAS TUNG TWISTA

      THAT’S Y WE LAUGH @ U INTERNET NERDS U WASN’T THERE U DON’T KNO SH!T

    49. If you are Black and successful/rich in any way, then you are part of the Illuminati or sold your soul. What a tool. A smart/manipulative way to keep the Black man divided.

      In most eyes, Jay-Z, Opera, Denzel, and others will be apart of this “Secret Society” until they die or killed. For instance, if Jay was shot and killed tomorrow, they would say that the Illuminati did it because Jay did something to upset them.Some will find video clips of when Jay-Z disclaimed/or tried to leave them and use that as evidence as to why Jay was killed.

      Hell we are so caught up in the bullshit, that a case could and have been made that MLK was a member of this “Secret Society”.If I was to type some shit like : Martin Luther King Jr a Freemason? into google search, I bet a few websites will actually pop up.

      Better yet, forget all of which I just type. Just answer this…

      Why should our black leaders fight for equality if the ones they are fighting for doesn’t support them? Could the Illuminati talk be use to scare would-be activists into not speaking up, in fear of getting murdered?

      It’s another way to keep us afraid, to keep us less confident.Quiet.

      1. “Niggaz is telling me about this Illuminati shit while I’m in jail, like, the dollars and all of that. That’s another way to keep your self-esteem low, that’s another way to keep you unconfident and I’m putting the “K” cuz I’m killing that Illuminati shit. Trust me, if these motherfuckers wanted to kill you, why the fuck they gonna tell Farrakhan? Why they gonna tell the Nation of Islam? Why they gonna tell this nigga in jail about the plan? How did he know? How did it leak to him? Who told him? The Pope? Who? Cause they’re like the Pope and the money… c’mon man get the fuck outta here. You so thinking about the money you not getting the motherfucking money, get the money nigga I don’t give a fuck whose face on there.” -Tupac

      2. “Why should our black leaders fight for equality if the ones they are fighting for doesn’t support them? Could the Illuminati talk be use to scare would-be activists into not speaking up, in fear of getting murdered?”

        Why does it have to be a black leader? Are you saying only black people can help other black people, or that they’re the only ones that should? Are you saying a Hispanic, Asian, or white person would refuse to try to help out someone in the ghetto?

        “It’s another way to keep us afraid, to keep us less confident.Quiet.”

        Who is “us”? Every single African-American? That’s just insulting and idiotic to think “someone” is trying to get an entire race of people to believe in something.

        Anyone who believes that is a a conspiracy nut. There are poor people of every race. There are more poor white and Hispanic people than poor black people. There’s no advantage to holding down some particular race.

        That being said, I agree with everything else you said (ie if Jayz was shot, then people would do X tomorrow part)

    50. well i gat nathing to say please can some one contact me mennn i have waited for the day to come to pass in my life here are my data to reach or contact me with please phone number is +2348094328863 and you can email me on my personal email address kingswealth1@ymail.com

    51. The rap game is ever false asit could be, controled and manipulated by an enemy who would rather see a section of society on dope or killing each other.

    52. only ignorant people will not take this shit seriously,u may think this shit is crazy but blive behind the every close door the is a secret. And is not just hip-hop is the music industy in general,it starts with music bcuz people worship this artist like Gods. fuck obama,hes just another puppet president.

      1. Type in “rap” backwards in Google and it leads you to a section about golf.

        What’s your point? You think a secret society is spending millions to get the number 1 spot on a Google search ranking for their society spelled backwards? You think they’re purposefully leaving a trail of bread crumbs so they can be discovered?

        Your point illustrates why people that believe in illuminati are ridiculous.

      2. See you TROLLS tying to discredit this guy are exactly whats wrong with society…. instead of researching and checking into what this guy says, YOU continue to keep your head in the sand!

        The rest of us socially conscious humans will continue to evolve.

        THANKYOUHHDX– you need some education SON!!!

    53. Call an ambulance, Jamie been shot, word to Kemit
      Don’t go Son, nigga you my motherfuckin heart
      Stay still Son, don’t move, just think about Keeba
      She’ll be three in January, your young God needs you
      The ambulance is taking too long
      Everybody get the fuck back, excuse me bitch, gimme your jack
      One, seven one eight, nine one one, low battery, damn
      Blood comin out his mouth, he bleedin badly
      Nahhh Jamie, don’t start that shit
      Keep your head up, if you escape hell we gettin fucked up
      When we was eight, we went to Bat Day to see the Yanks
      In Sixty-Nine, his father and mines, they robbed banks
      He pointed to the charm on his neck
      With his last bit of energy left, told me rock it with respect
      I opened it, seen the God holdin his kids
      Photogenic, tears just burst out my wig
      Plus he dropped one, oh shit, here come his Old Earth
      With no shoes on, screamin holdin her breasts with a gown on
      She fell and then lightly touched his jaw, kissed him
      Rubbed his hair, turned around the ambulance was there
      Plus the blue coats, Officer Lough, took it as a joke
      Weeks ago he strip-searched the God and gave him back his coke
      Bitches yellin, Beenie Man swung on Helen
      In the back of a cop car, dirty tarts are tellin
      But suddenly a chill came through it was weird
      Felt like my man, was cast out my heaven now we share
      Laid on the stretcher, blood on his Wally’s like ketchup
      Deep like the full assassination with a sketch of it
      It can’t be, from Yohoo to Lee’s
      Second grade humped the teachers, about to leave
      Finally this closed chapter, comes to an end
      He was announced, pronounced dead, y’all, at twelve ten

    54. Soo….this article crapped on a good portion of the theories when they mentioned groups like Three 6 Mafia clearly saying demonic things…yet dodging the imposed illuminati membership. Not saying that these dudes should be included but, really it seems like you all pick and choose who is running with evil, but in reality we shouldn’t be choosing anyone at the rap music level…we should be attack the orchestrators. The division in our urban communities based on this topic is making me beyond sick. If the illuminati is using a tool…its the tool of making people dive head first into accusation of they brothers/sisters instead of being prayful against the beast. Because at the end of the day…who has all the power, some man made group who pledges their allegiance to the beast? or the Most High. Stop giving them power by making crazy theories to scare and divide our brothers/sisters.

      Enough. Get off of it. seriously.

    55. I think people need to put less emphasis on the word illuminati because its not the only satanic group around.they are many others and eventhough some of these artist may not be in the illuminati if the illumanati even exist .does not mean they are not satanist. \\\\\\

    56. Yo shout out to the people who know the real deal and did they research because the shit is real and very serious…this is bigger than music its global status…check out the forerunner,professor griff, alex jones, just to name a few whos making a stand against this madness…

      loonybing.blogspot.com

      1. shout out to those that did their research? What research….youtube videos? Yeah those are such concrete evidence…All those big foot videos and UFO videos must be real then because it’s on youtube…learn what research really is..it’s sad how many people actually believe in this nonsense.

    57. Finally, someone has mentioned the oft-brushed under the rug fact that Jay-Z shot his brother. When he was 12.

      “Hes gone on record as having sold at least a negligible amount of crack cocaine at some point during the 80s. Hes admitted to shooting his brother at the age of 12. He pleaded guilty to third-degree assault after allegedly stabbing Lance Un Rivera in 1999. And at least part of his current success is due to leaving his former Roc-a-fella founders (and most of their artists) high and dry when he sold the company and took a position at Def Jam in 2004. ”

      And as you mentioned, Biggie sold to pregnant women. So did Joell Ortiz (according to a Slaughterhouse interview with The Breakfast Club, although he said it with a sign of regret – “We don’t have to sell to pregnant girls anymore” or something along those lines).

      Would HHDX please do an editorial on why heinous acts are overlooked or applauded by the hip hop community? Hip Hop has hid under the curtain by saying it reflects what happens in the hood, but then there are so many rappers that continue to glamorize the lifestyle afterward (ie 50 Cent) and those that show regret about it (Ace Hood on some songs, Slaughterhouse, and of course… Tupac – who, admittedly, glamorized it at times, and died as a result of living a life he could’ve left).

      I’m a family man. I think more hip hop fans should be too. Look at the fatherless rates among the communities hip hop reflects. Is this something to be proud of? Definitely not. Yet it’s overlooked, as is Jay-Z shooting his brother (can I mention again how despicable it is? Imagine doing that to your own family) and showing no remorse, 50 Cent continuing to rap about murder, yet people hate on Drake for making ‘soft’ music.

      Rapping about the trenches when you’re in them is one thing. Making a living off of it is neutral to detrimental for society and hip hop in general, don’t you think? I think one of the reasons Eminem is so well-liked is admitting his faults and being honest when he’s being Marshall Mathers/Eminem, and having a clear alter-ego when he raps about “bad” stuff.

      1. So what if he shot his brother when he was 12, the guy is about forty three. If your not open minded, leave hip hop alone because it’s about a section of society you would never hear of none theless or give a fuck about anyway.
        Listen to the issues of these rappers and try to figure out what the hell happened to them and the community they came from, not justfy their actions but there’s a rwason behind every thing. Most of these people started out in the ghettos with the humblest beginnings and lack of education with no hope. If you don’t like the stories you can switch off, until we really find a solution

      2. You didn’t read my post, or HDDX’s for that matter, if you’re going to post that.

        “Hip Hop has hid under the curtain by saying it reflects what happens in the hood, but then there are so many rappers that continue to glamorize the lifestyle afterward (ie 50 Cent) and those that show regret about it (Ace Hood on some songs, Slaughterhouse, and of course… Tupac – who, admittedly, glamorized it at times, and died as a result of living a life he could’ve left).”

        I’m not saying they did it without a reason, although I will say that it’s despicable Jay-Z shot his cousin at any age. He was 12 and WAS old enough to know it’s not right to shoot your family.

        You’re being an apologist – I’m asking HHDX to do an article on people like you, who stick up for rappers and don’t address the fact that they do more than rap about where they came from, they rap about doing inherently bad things without remorse, and why people like you continue to be apologists for them without considering the ramifications of rappers’ influence and words.

        Why is T.I. rapping “Still riding with that .44 don’t let my P.O. know” after his “Road to Redemption” show? He says he lives the life he raps about, so he’s either a liar or a hypocrite.

        Why is 50 Cent rapping about “Pulling off an OJ” and selling crack in 2012?

        Why is Bun B rapping about drank on Ace Hood’s newest mixtape when he’s quoted on HHDX as telling Lil Wayne to put it down? (https://hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6511/title.bun-b-comments-on-lil-waynes-syrup-addiction)

        Why is Rick Ross selling about moving crack when he was a P.O. when he never did it?

        Hip hop’s biggest stars are rapping about murder, drugs, alcoholism, and chauvinism, yet rappers always hide under the umbrellas of “It’s just entertainment” or “That’s what life is like where we came from.”

        AGAIN – “Hip Hop has hid under the curtain by saying it reflects what happens in the hood, but then there are so many rappers that continue to glamorize the lifestyle after [making it out of the hood] and those that show regret about it.” Why are we okay with Jay-Z and other rap kings lying about their raps or condoning despicable behavior? You just stuck up for Jay saying he was 12. I say that’s BS, he knows not to shoot his family.

        Do these rappers really care about the hood they came from at all? It seems like they’re trying to squeeze money from it without fixing anything, and their influence helps perpetuate the very things they rap about. Saying “no one does that” is a lie… Young Jeezy himself stated in TM103’s documentary that he’d wake up in the hood and apply what he heard in rap songs to his everyday life, and look what he ended up doing – dealing drugs.

      3. and get off eminem’s jock. he’s far from perfect. if you actually would listen to jay, you would realize he admits his faults just like eminem. “do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?”

    58. to put it simply only the completed deaf dumb and blind would deny the existence of the globalist agenda, since the people who are the caretakers of have made no qualms about hiding it. while i applaud this article for touching on the connection with hip hop, which is all highly speculative, the real truth about the globalist was not even touched on. no mention of david rockefeller or henry kissinger, no mention of the warburgs or morgans and other international banking companines that create the fiat money these rappers think they got a lot of. Jay z wish his last name really was rockefeller. thats the ONLY way he would sit in these circles. learn about the bilderbergers and CFR. read the history, what they have admitted point and clear. and do not think that the plan would die if it never has a reason to. remember an object in motion….
      i’m end this with two statements. the plan to create a world order is very real and very active, and i doubt many American could even begin to comprehend how deep the rabbit hole goes. the second thing im a say is a quote from James Paul Waburg from the 1950:
      “we Shall have world government whether or Not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.”
      dont believe the mythology surrounding the real truth behind this movement. research the real movers and shakers of world events, and you will find clearly what HG Wells called “the Open conspiracy.”

      1. you’re absolutely right in that the article did not do enough to educate the readers on the facts. anyone reading this need not take the information presented lightly. we should all research the points referenced in the article and kacyboone’s post

    59. Okay, okay serious question. Not looking to fight or disrespect anybody. But for everyone that believes in this, what exactly is the “end” goal? I’ve never ever heard anyone say. All I get is “they are going to take over the world”

      What exactly does that mean? Just curious.

      My opinion is that it’s possible, BUT here is my issue. Most people, especially OUR RACE kill ourselves. Have multiple kids that we don’t want to take care of, smoking weed, killing each other etc.

      And don’t say somebody else is making us do it, because at the end of the day you have a choice. Dudes choose to have all these kids and not take care of them. Why does the Illuminati need to do anything? We are doing it ourselves. Just saying, I don’t see Illuminati members in the hoods shooting brothers on the corner, I see my own brothers doing it.

    60. Wonderful article. Go to http://www.infowars.com for a good alternative news website. The corporate media is controlled by the same people who are manipulating the government for their profit and power. Obama and Romney both represent the interests of the corporate bankers… it’s unfortunate that the most important information will never be broadcast by CNN or Foxnews.

      http://www.infowars.com

    61. DURRRRR Illuminati is REAL.. DURRRRRRRRR founded on May Day 1776 by High Degree Freemasons DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR you fucking retards

    62. AND ITS NOT JUST “HIP HOPS OBSESSION” with the Illuminati…. It’s THE MUSIC INDUSTRY in general that has the obsession. It’s Hollywood in general that has the obsession. ITS FUCKING POLITICS in general that has the obsession…. ITS AMERICA IN GENERAL THAT HAS THIS SATANIC ILLUMINATI OBSESSION.

      Like I’ve always said, “We are a Luciferian Nation Hiding behind Christian Faith – Like a Gay man marring a Women and having kids.”

    63. HIP HOP BLASPHEMY AT IT’S FINEST!!! SECRETS OUT HOMIES

      Now there’s a lot of bad bitches in thExplaine building (Amen)
      A couple real niggas in the building (Amen)
      I’m finna kill niggas in the building (Amen)
      I tell the waiter fifty bottles and she tell me say when
      And I say church (Preach)
      We make it light up like a church (Preach)
      She wanna fuck and I say church (Preach)
      Do Liv on Sunday like a church (Preach)

    64. seriously black and brown people… a simple question .. do yaal think th white man with his supremacist system would spend all that money time energy with hip hop to benefite the culture??? hell naaaw the just want to destroy it plua the minds of the kids..its all about science and psychology ..somethin that us in the “hood” dont deal with ..since its not “hood” readin the books…the proof is all ova our face but most still deny it without comprehend it… dr . clark quoted “if u dont understand white supremacy and the system itself,everythin else will only confuse u…” this is a genetic war ….they r a minority by any means necessary perservin their race …..

    65. they judgement is cloudy… alot of kids take a package of crack from a side of a street to another fo 20 dollars and yall think this sell outs who neva had nothin (because slavery we shall not forget) wont do it fo a million??? think bout it

      1. Yup, rappers sell out their own kind for 20$ bones you think if a secret society approaches them with 20$million bones only to sell out their own kind, you don’t think they won’t do it?! They will and did

    66. Dude, the Illuminati was founded on May Day 1776… They are real. Deal with it. Whether you want to believe they have Hip Hop by the balls, is up to you, but blatenly thinking the Illiminati has not or ever will exist.. well then youre just plane jane stupid

    67. this fools r sellin out fo a couple of millions while we got a land who still occupied full of mineral resources dat they own but rather run behind a piece paper made valuable by us…. its a lie

    68. This article is a little piece that I like to call “disinformation” purposely put out to cause more confusion

    69. it’s not just hip hop, it’s not just Jay-Z, it’s the industry as a whole… its definitely your Jay-Z’s but also your Katy Perry’s and Lady Gaga’s as well. Its ALL of them within the Entertainment Industry.

    70. jay z illuminti all tha way…he sold roca ware for about $400 million and their sales are getting worse and worse….and how he get enuff $$ to buy into he ny knicks and move them to brooklyn..the brooklyn stadium cost over 1 BILLION dollars…how the hell he get enough $$ for that?????? investors!!! and who are those billion dollar investors…..his illuminiti friends!

      1. HAHAHAHAHAAAA.

        Jay Z is a ‘Part’ owner of NETS. not knicks.

        Since, he’s part owner, he didnt put up all that money to build a new stadium and move them to brooklyn. The majority owner is a russian billonare. Fark me, don’t comment unless you know what you’re talkin about.

        stop wasting my webspace. smh

    71. “The people responsible for many of these conditions are doing their damage in broad daylight for everyone to see.”

      Exactly, Jay-z videos are played in broad daylight for everyone to see 😉

    72. Wow, what an article, but it wasn’t nearly as informative the comments! But let me speak on the article first. To Rashard Phillips, great article congrats on your position. So if I understand your article you’re saying no cloaks, no rituals just politicians. “But every high-earning rapper that we see even remotely associated with the all seeing eye isnt in some secret society. As the Jay-Z and Rick Ross (and even Soulja Boy to a lesser extent) have proved, theyre not above exploiting the innuendo surrounding their wealth for entertainment purposes. Its understandable why someone like French Montana would laugh off all the Illuminati talk and ask if he could join via application.” So it seems despite your research, you still have doubts about a secret society running hip hop or the world. It’s the politicians. You are right there are politicians who pass legislation (without our permission) to further destroy humanity and our way of living. But nothing happens of it’s own accord. There is a reason for everything. Ask yourself why are they passing legislation to make an all out police state Orwellian nightmare. The special interests have special interests. Corporations are one thing, but it’s who owns those corporations that pays these politicians to pass the legislation. Who are in turn part of these secret societies that you seem to discredit. And these are facts, not mere opinions. I would recommend reading “Rule By Secrecy” by Jim Marrs. While there are countless other books about The Illuminati. Surly they all can’t be wrong.

    73. Wolves come in sheeps clothing…. ANY way you slice it folks… JayZ represents SATAN, ILLUMINATI, and NEW WORLD ORDER.

      WAKE UP! Spread LOVE!

    74. yeah jayz’ illuminati cause he rips off a bunch of dumb young blaks.. fuck that, better chance that he’d like you to believe that shit so you feel cooler when you’re sporting his shit… he’s a businessman he knows what hes doing.. he’s not selling records like Em’ so hes doing other business ventures and it worked.. Listen to his new song Clique, hes talking about the Lambos and Gucci you stupid fags bought him. I don’t blame you though, if your face is half as ugly as Jayz then you have every reason to want to compensate by wearing a bunch of nice clothes n jewellery… Em’s the only one who uses the illuminati shit properly, he clowns u for thinkin it.. Jayz is just a rich poser who uses it to try and seem more powerful than he is. It’s like 1 of those young dumbasses with a bit of bling who thinks hes the shit, that’s Jayz except x 1000000

      1. OHHHHH I SEE… what you are saying is is that everyone in the industry is illuminati except your lord a savor Jay-z. I get it.

    75. Showing lyrics too much attention! Jay-z is feeding off of this illuminati crap so you guys could listen and go buy his record.Topic is getting bigger by the day but he’s smart enough to give you something to talk about so it wont get old….. He’s a business man! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEADS!

      1. He’s right, Business men can’t be a part of the Illuminati and Illuminati members can’t be Business men……… hahahahaha stupid!!

    76. Co-sign with this editorial. The hate directed toward Jay-Z is ridiculous. I think he receives more criticism than other rappers simply because he’s more successful and it’s easier to point at him as a “money rapper” or whatever. But if people ACTUALLY took stock in his lyrics, i.e. reading Decoded, they’d realize the guilt he still feels over selling crack cocaine and the positive role model he is to this community, something a lot of rappers can’t say about themselves. Tired of this hate toward a man who is honest with himself and America. Are people REALLY going to give 50 a pass for bragging about selling drugs and then get on Jay for being honest about his life and being introspective about drug dealing rather than glorifying it? As far as the Roc split, people need to realize this kind of stuff happens in hip-hop ALL THE TIME. It’s a business. As far as this editorial goes, I think it’s a great look into how the “secret society” isn’t secret at all. Just like Rashad says, it’s shoved in our faces. Fuck Bush. Great editorial, Mr. Phillips!

      1. This as nothing to do with Jayz’s raps….Its more about his influence. He can influence people to do things. That would be the only reason people in power would want jayz to have his influence on their side..

    77. The thing is, american people are so god loving, that they don’t understand, when someone tells them he is an atheist (“i never peayed to god/iprayed to gotti”). i don’t believe in god and never will, but does that make me a devil worshiper? No, i don’t believe in the devil either. It only makes me realist.

      1. if you dont believe in god so you can answer to my questions ??
        1- who created the earth sun moon night and day ?
        2- who created life and death
        3-who created humain animals nature …
        who created difference between humain and animal ? … who….who !!!! your mom !
        life is just test

    78. Conspiracy theorists are both fascinating and sad at the same time. The desperate desire to feel there’s more to the world they see everyday, the joy they feel in believing they’re in on some Great Secret, and this despite every rational explanation against their beliefs. Illuminati, faked moon landing, chemtrails, reptilian agendas… conspiracy believers set aside all logic and cling to wild fantasies.

      1. Who are you trying to kid… yourself?

        You’d like to think the world is sugar coated with perfect system. Start at one of your local baptist churches and ask yourself why every coner of the globe where the resourses are, there’s war where innocent people die by the thousands and on that same continet millions die of starvation.
        Somewhere for you to start reading up some research for yourself, or do you feel there’s no curruption in the government that wiped out the aboriginal red Indian

    79. This shit again DX? Its not about the Illuminati, its about the corrupt music industry. Its been known that it is corrupt for a long time and you guys trying to make it look like its some secret society and shit. smh

    80. PEACE
      You know all this illuminati/secret society/implanted chips sound good but the main point is to paraphrase bro. Khalid Mohamed, y’all clowns have been programmed to be KNEEGROWS (e.g. that little punk in Chicago-Chief kef/kef Cheif whatever)since you were born, fuck a chip, you fuckers need to get an education, stop listening to bullshit and try to own your own businesses. Use the fucking system like this dude Jay is doing or dare I say it Curtis is doing. Stop worrying about the so-called man, he got your grandma & em believing in the holy ghost and kneeling at the fucking pew at the church, mosque or whatever the fuck, worshiping what?? Dumb fucks. Small things affect small minds.

      PEACE

      1. “”stop listening to bullshit and try to own your own businesses. Use the fucking system like this dude Jay is doing or dare I say it Curtis is doing.””

        Oh that’s right, Business men can’t be Illuminati members and Illuminati members can’t be Business men.

      2. ^^^^ clearly confused response..

        Agree with the first guy – but niggas still believe in a christian god so… go figure

    81. “Some say they expect illuminati to put my body to sleep
      when niggas at the party with they shotty just as rowdy as me
      before i flee COMPUTER CHIPS i gotta deal with brothers flipping
      i dont see no devils blood bleeding, only black blood dripping” -2pac

    82. For the ones with some common sense: Look up “Gray State” official movie trailer.

      That is America’s FUTURE in the next-coming months. Talking about we’re paranoid..

      The international bankers really about to have Obama show you his true horns in these up-coming months. They put all the events in their movies that’s going to take place here VERY SOON!!!!

    83. Well im reading this and ima just say this…its true that there’s a secret society and the gov’t and their BS. but you missing the big point, IF you believe in god or not but i do, there are secrets in the bible about 911 i read about it and we dont know about it was god’s plan or why was the towers smashed up. Even biggie said it in one of his songz.. the fact ppl was saying about the world gonna end 2000 04, and 2012? only god is the one to do that idk why people dont get that shit threw your head, and far as the chips concern, its true god said in the bible quote ( if you get the chips you will not be able to go to heaven..THATS A FACT!) So we about to go in 2013 and i heard that china has a secret paln to nuke the US in december 23, so im just wating to see if its gonna really happen..like on some real shit!, i aint scared of nobody but i keep faith and if you dont agree then oh well suck a dick. i already seen stuff and videos of shit like this,like jesse ventura was exposing them on tv and for some reason it doesnt come on tv no more lol..im just trying to say is that i guess its cool niggaz sell their soul for money and fame but at the same time i rather have my soul and be broke Real Shit..

    84. yo yall dudes sound f@*king stupid if yall really believe this shit i mean come on its a new world order in 2000 its the same shit thats been going on for 200 years aint nothing new in 2012 other then we got a black president. And as far as the whole jay z devil shit and everybody say oh you can’t make 100million without selling your soul come on man it can’t be that he worked hard and made good music and that everybody on this site own at least 3 jay z cds that they bought out a store

      1. Your so blind and stupid… Have you ever heard of the “Patriot Act”? Im guessing no… Have you heard of the drones that will be flying over the united states to patrol its own citizens? Im guessing no… Have you heard about the countless number of times Cops have attacked protesters and imprisoned them for no reason at all? Have you heard about the U.S having Military on U.S soil.. when that is clearly against our constitution? I am guessing you don’t know SHIT about whats going on in the world let alone in the United States itself… We are losing our rights bit by bit and its because of dumb fucks like yourself saying nothing is wrong.. and nothing has changed.. Open your fucking eyes and wake up to what the fuck is going on.

      2. @anon….everything you said is correct things are changing but it has nothing to do with “selling your soul” or the illuminate causing these things to occur….you can simply point to the fact where are biggest problem lies and thats a privately owned banks controls are money therefore its not government regulated thats where all are problems begin with them

      3. wtf that got to do with hip hop thats because some assholes flew some planes into the the world trade center what the fuck that got to do with jay z of course certain thing have to change for our secruity would you really want to live here if it didn’t

      4. Things having to change for our security is a stupid argument. As Americans, we are more likely to die via shark attack or lightning strike vs a terrorism plane attack but we don’t see TSA groping sharks on the beach or gathering around lighting clouds during a storm.

    85. “…those with the most sway in the American political process arent wearing cloaks and attending some Illuminati sance. Theyre walking right into an elected officials office…” – #Realtalk

    86. You have misstated the WSJ article on lobbyists’ income. Here is the actual sentence: “Top capital lobbyists earn from $1 million to $5 million annually, plus bonuses” While I seriously doubt that anyone but a lawyer-lobbyist would make anything close to this income range, most lobbyists don’t make 1/10 of these amounts.

    87. All you need to simply see is the widespread frustration around the globe, wide spread fourclosure, who’s benefiting and figure out which side your on.
      Shame to be on a world stage and really have no voice.

    88. When the Illuminati start to implement their golbal take over and teriminate 90% of the population Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans and poor white trash are priority on their list regardless of their present status in society. They are a secret society of genetically choosen white elites.

    89. Please look atthe Georgia Guidestones and he Denver Airport Murals dont dont make it seem like its just hip hop LadyGaGA(Meat Dress), Madonna, Hollywood its society. Hip Hop was just the last to know. It was all type of 9/11 refences before the towers fell like in one Simpsons episode they showed a plane crashing into the twin towers before 9/11.

    90. i think they use hip hop to make the illuminati seem fake or fairy tale, i be tellin my friends and they swear im crazy so it must working but Georgia Guidestones or Denver AirportMurals dont lie

      1. how do you know? you assume. you are just crazy for believing in something stupid and POINTLESS. its a waste of time, get a job and worry about that instead

    91. PEACE

      To anonymous below replying to my comment, thank you for the Genius comment, coming from an ignoramus like you no problems. I will not sit here and let idiots like you influence the minds of black youths with bullshit Illuminati nonsense while in the safety of your suburbs, your white moms and pops,as you wait for them to keel over and retirement funds are all yours to party all day a la Ferris Bueller. Everybody’s being used by the system (Jay, Curtis al. have the ability to help young black folks understand the diff. between legal hustle and illegal hustle, that’s not bucking the system? dumb fuck) whether you are a 9 to 5er, a ball player et al. It is all about leveling the field for one and two as black folks we have no business filling jail cells over petty drug deals or senseless murders. Speaking of athletes, how come most balck athletes 2-3 years out of the NBA, NFL etc…are broke. Illuminati made them buy 10-20 expensive cars, unh. let’s see 10 cars avg. price $50, 000-300,000x monthly car insurance x bank interest equals chump change?. 10 million dollar mansions, why? (real proprietorship is about owning the actual land not the fucking house, dummy)mad kids with various gold diggers, Illuminati is controlling their dicks, too. Seriously, someone ouuta smack the bitch outta you, oops, I forgot you’re in teh suburbs, it’s all about pillow fights and listening to lil’ Wayne and dream about being black. Fuck you, Einstein.Oh, yeah, get a girlfriend, family cat doesn’t count.
      PEACE

      1. Soooooooooooo black people don’t know how to save money and keep their dick in their pants…………

        White people don’t know how to save money and keep their dick in their pants……

        NO man can keep their dick in their pants and the saving money part is relative…

        Meanwhile.. The Illuminati, The movement was founded on May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria) as the Order of the Illuminati, with an initial membership of five,[1] by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt (d. 1830),[2] who was the first lay professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt.[3] It was made up of freethinkers as an offshoot of the Enlightenment and seems to have been modeled on the Freemasons.[4] The ILLUMINATI’s MEMBERS TOOK A VOW OF SECRECY AND PLEDGE OBEDIENCE TO THEIR SUPERIORS. Members were divided into three main classes, each with several degrees, and many Illuminati chapters drew membership from existing Masonic lodges

      2. “(Jay, Curtis al. have the ability to help young black folks understand the diff. between legal hustle and illegal hustle, that’s not bucking the system? dumb fuck”

        P.S. Yes, they have the ability to help young black folks understand the difference… but do they use that ability!? FUCK NO. NO EVEN CLOSE. DUMB FUCK.

        In the words of Curtis himeself “They call me the cake man, the strawberry shake man
        I spray the AR, make your whole click break dance Backspin, headspin, flat-line, you’re dead then 9 shells, Mac-10, who wan’ get it crackin?

        Wow those lyrics sure are helping young black folks…

      3. PEACE
        See that is your problem the so-called facts Please, do not insult my intelligence or anyone up on here with an ounce of brain. There are secret societies and there intiatic-for lack of a better word- societies. Illuminati started in Bavaria, blah, blah nonsense is not new. I could write a treatise of thousands of pages with regard to most world revolutions and point out where ‘secret’ societies had a heavy hand e.g. The French revolution. There are ‘real’ societies in most of private schools which basically prepares its members to be leaders of men, even the dumbest ones e.g. George Bush not too intelligent but could considered as being e.g,. John Kerry and those are the ones to be worried about. The U.S. government could be considered a ‘secret’ society’ do your research, the layout of Washington, D.C. is meant to protect the government from its own people in case they decide to attack the government, hello?

        To the other anonymous, point what separated men from animals is the former’s intelligence meaning capacity to see, analyse etc.. whereas the latter is superior to men in terms of instinct. A man needs to develop or have a will to do things that require good sense, investing in yourself, your community is more important than buying expensive shit which is not yours. It gets on my nerves each time I see athletes or singers who had money seeking sympathy when they’ve thrown their money away and looking for people to blame. I do not want people like you patronizing black folks into believing they are victims of a secret society when society as a whole is the oppressor. Black youths especially black males need to have their dignity and having dignity is saying yo, I fucked up, I am a man, let me stand up and be counted as one. I do not give a damn about Jay or Curtis except that I respect their game but I’d rather black youths look up to them than …say a Lil B’ or an Odd Future- people that are encouraging black males to act ‘feminine’ or to be like a Coolio,-crack addict’ or Beanie Siegel, clown no. 1 on the block who thinks he is real but is a loser .
        p.s. done the jail/street cycle and keeping it real is what I do everyday…feeding my family

        PEACE

      4. Nah, you’re the dumb fuck since you don’t have enough sense to work on your reading skills and ‘No man can control their dicks’? are you stupid or retarded, or both, controlling can mean wearing a condom in T.O.’s case to choosing who you run up into bareback, like most of us do.. Dummy, there’s still something called HIV; Oh, it’s a myth created by the all powerful-Illuminati. Money is relative , really? relative when you don’t work or hustle for it and you’re 40 years old and still sleeping on your parents’ couch, waiting for a spot at the local mill, man, go back to fucking school or something.
        As far as following a rapper’s lyric (see my latest comment). Get off my dick while you’re at it.

    92. i see a lot of cats on here kicking knowledge and all that good shit,,,but uuuummm,,what you gonna do? ,,,whats your next psoitive move brother?,,,,SHOW AND PROVE,,MONEY!!!,,MOVE THE CROWD!!
      DA FUCK!!!them so called powers are human and will get theirs in the long run and short run,,,,each one teach one,,,,move the crowd

    93. This article is another way of expressing my thoughts. Come on, people. Don’t be swallowed in your conspiracy theories that Jay or other wealthy rappers are involved in some society. You can dust it off of your shoulder and think about your life.

    94. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU FOOLS SO SCARED OF? You’re going to die anyway. Stupid motherfuckers worried about some illuminati bullshit. Make money, do you and enjoy life or get the fuck out the way.

      1. It’s sad because even if you wanted to just make money you are reminded of the Illuminati by whats printed on the money itself.

      2. I swear when I see this nigga, I’ma kill em, I’m going to kill him, so make niggas suffer.

        [Chorus]
        My man said life aint easy when niggas gotta eat thats when shit get greasy streets be all
        Like feed me feed me when niggas gotta eat thats when shit get greasy (x2)
        My man said life aint easy when niggas gotta eat thats when shit get greasy

        [Verse 1]
        Hey he had a whole lot of cheese plus he was a mac had a whole lot of steez
        Made a lot of niggas fat gave a whole lot of G’s, grams man he had a whole lot of these

        [Chorus]

        My man said life aint easy when niggas gotta eat thats when shit get greasy

        [Verse 2]
        He was a heart breaker and a large shaker, if it was bout caking, he was a part taker

        Never gave to the needy thats what some say he shoned on the bums hanging in the subways he
        Called them fruits and laughed at em delivery man on the pick up drive through and throw the bag

        Yessir!

        My man said life ain’t easy when niggas gotta eat thats when shit get greasy, hey!

    95. well jay-z is in that top 1% and very liberal, i dont see him passing his money around to everybody to “spread the wealth.” lol 1% of the population has all that money because 90% of the population are clueless idiots who will buy into anything that can be explained to them-hence the illuminati. when people dont have a real reason or explaination, its the illuminati. why does there have to be an illuminati to make DMX not sell records lol maybe people just dont wanna buy crackhead’s cds. isnt a favor for a favor called BUSINESS???

      1. That’s not true, Whitney Houston was a druggy and her records sold. Michael Jackson was a supposed child molester and his records sold. R.I.P. Illuminati Killed.

        When people don’t have a real reason or explanation as to why Illuminati is what it is… they say it’s just BUSINESS.

        Again, we come to this conclusion that BUSINESS MEN CAN’T BE ILLUMINATI MEMBERS AND ILLUMINATI MEMBERS CAN’T BE BUSINESS MEN.

    96. I honestly don’t know if a modern Illuminati exist. I know the original Illuminati was founded on May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria) as the Order of the Illuminati, but as far as it controlling today’s society – I like to give you non Illuminati believers a hard time. I honestly don’t know and I like to keep a very open mind but who really knows other then the members them selfs. Or non members if they are not around any more.

    97. These “Successful” artists aren’t “members” of the occult..Not powerful enough..but are certainly given added push/promotion/support by these labels to succeed &/or backing from authorities whenever in legal trouble by “promoting” the imagery. As to whether these artists truly “believe” in what they’re “promoting” in their vids..album covers..live performances etc is another thing entirely. Some definitely seem more “heavily” involved than others though

    98. PEACE
      Oh yeah, , my caucasian friend, you are the dumb fuck. Anyone who follow a rapper’s lyric as a blueprint for their own life is a dumb fuck and that is what the reasons action speaks louder than words. You are trying to live the black experience through these rappers’ lives, I am not. Dumb fuck.

      PEACE

      1. PEACE
        For Washington, D.C., Check out L. Ron Hubbard’s lecture (the Deterioration of Liberty if I recalled )-although I think he is one of the greatest con artists that ever lived-For the French revolution, you could check out Gallica fr. but the documents are mostly in french (I happen to be fluent in 3 languages and still working on a fourth.
        The point is to read up on things and try and comprehend what you read, one sentence could lead into something else. People up on here run their mouth because they google up things and are satisfied; there are physical copies of certain documents you cannot get on line and there are some you can find…. you just have to dig.
        PEACE

    99. typo” and add on: That is the reason Action speaks louder than words apply in Jay’s or dare I say Curtis ‘ case-diversifying their portfolio and fattening their bank accounts and be porch monkeys or sate pen numbers

    100. yea, yea, uhhhhh??? …
      well, In my opinion Everyone needs to be more honest. The

      illuminati thinks they control the World cause they have money;

      however, the Earth is in Control.
      I wish I could be there to see the hail hit jay-z in his face, for

      being a creepy person. I bet he’s trying to get Rhianna back. I bet

      he’s bored with Beyonce.
      Beyonce should have been honest about getting a surrogate

      mother. We wouldn’t have mind, that she wanted to keep her

      figure.
      We Love how beautiful she looks.
      What’s up with all the weird make-up in the vids nowadays?

      Did the devil land in Hollywood and say Ok I WANT ALL

      MOVIES TO BE ABOUT, SEX, VIOLENCE, VAMPIRES,

      KILLING, SATANIC SHIT?
      I’M just wondering cause that’s all I see, everywhere.
      Now they are putting up posters with two men kissing and stuff.

      ewww.
      WAKE UP PEOPLE, HAVING A LOT OF MONEY, TRUE-LY

      ONLY BRINGS A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
      Nothings so great about having a bunch of cars, overpriced

      clothes, jewelry, etc. YOU CANT TAKE IT with YOU.
      YOU will take your good and bad deeds with you however.
      LEARN ALL YOU CAN,
      PUT DOWN THE REMOTE,
      TURN OFF YOUR XNXX,
      tell the kids to put down the
      VIDEO GAME CONTROLLERS; AND sit down and watch a few

      Documentaries about how our federal reserve and private banks

      are going to try to keep everyone broke.
      Watch some documentaries on the food they are poisoning and

      our water.
      Pay attention to how they want to have the devils symbols

      attached to everything.
      do a search on children, sacrifice, mc donalds, blood.
      to on youtube and watch some illuminati videos, this stuff is

      real,
      ONLY AN IDIOT will Not be prepared.
      The fed wants to fund more wars, because that’s what they’ve

      invested in. Now all they have to do is finish making the people

      hate each other enough to kill each other(well, the poor people.)
      The rest they want to be on crack; which is why they try so hard

      to get rid of Medical Marijuana.
      They want us hooked on hard liquor, cocaine, heroine, etc.
      WATCH THEM WORK.
      THEN
      WATCH THE EARTH, WORK THEM.

      1. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the light. He is yhe only way. The new eorld order begins in March, If you don,t know Jesus or don,t believe in Him, I can assure you that He is real and the bible is being fulfilled. H e loves yo, do not give into satan. Jesus has already won the battle.Jesus offers more than the devil or more than money ever can and that is peace, love and hope. Dont fear darkness,JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIGHT AND LIGHT OUTS DARKNESS.

    101. waste of time more concerned with the social security admit in mainstream media they are buying up bullets at an alarming rate.

      whether or not jay z is corporate own is a waste of my time.

      he does a great job up playing up to shit like this and you niggas buy it.

      1. Highlighting that these rappers are puppets used to glamorize the hood so young people want to migrate to cities for United Nations agenda 21 is just as important as telling folks about concentration camps disguised as FEMA emergency centers, Russians training with US military so they can be used for martial law, that companies like Monsantos is spraying chemtrails out of airplanes to poison food and alter weather to justify global warming. If you are a fan of rap and you think this is bs or skeptical ask yourself some questions. How many young men/women do you know whose aspirations are to be a rapper or professional athlete? Why was Bill Cooper killed by FBI agents months after he predicted that Osama Bin Laden was going to be blamed for a terrorist attack by the media before 9/11. How many young people do you know that want to be a rocket scientist or astronaut? Why do you think television is over ran by shows with obcessive drinking, hoes and having the people contend with each other even when there is nothing to win like BGC? Why do you think MTV was told in the 90’s to show more and more gangsta rap while the Feds tell law enforcement to judge people on their attire? If alcohol was legalized because of a bad economy why is that marijuana stays illegal during a bad economy and is a far safer intoxicant? When is the last time you’ve heard of a disease being cured but all these prescriptions that are only treatments are killing off people at an alarming rate? You really should research all of this before President Obama signs the cyber security executive order which will kill 80% of the Internet.

    102. All this illuminati crap is just so the Rockafeller, Rothchild, Li, McDonald, Disney, DuPoint, Kennedy, Onassies, Astor, Bundy, Collins, Reynold, Russell, Van Duyn, Krup, Freeman and all royal families can brainwash youth to want to live in low economic urban areas to slowly get the public to secretly adhere to agenda 21 without force which will come to those who don’t fall for it. Hip hop is also used as a destructive force for society. Almost every rapper now talks about hustling cocaine, obsessed with materialism, chauvinistic attitudes etc… all used to brainwash youth into wanting to live a hood life attitude all while the Feds tell law enforcement those are your enemies who can spotted by wearing hip hop clothing. Illuminati hates common men and wants them to be slaves living in ghettos while they live like royality. Don’t be nieve to think that this isn’t real, rappers do this for publicity or the illuminati have no power.

    103. All this illumanati talk is a distraction from the real knowledge which is the knowledge of self within the black communities and ancestral roots. word up….

    104. You either have eyes to see and ears to hear…or you don’t. Soon, when it continues to get even worse for us…some of you will start to see what we have been screaming about for years. The time has come that you all will have to choose your master; Good or Evil, God or Devil and you will ONLY answer for yourself!
      Illuminati are the top of the food chain, but some of these rappers/musicians are striving for the top. They wish they were up there, but have been mislead in thinking it is possible to achieve that goal. These people are inbred and keep it that way because of their supposed “pure” bloodline. I think it is funny that any of you, who have really researched this, would even bother to say that any of these people are “Illuminati.” No, no, no, no! Satan worshippers, maybe! ASPIRING Illuminati, yes…this may very well be.
      These artists know very well what they are doing and will pay for it in the end, that’s all I have to know and all that I care about is being the best me possible…because I answer for no one else but myself.
      Let us judge not, but act according to our individual beliefs and calling, to represent these to the world. Actions DO speak louder than words

    105. Illuminati will die, if people stop thinking its a theory. EVERYONE WHO READS THIS LISTEN UP!!!!!! Warn as much people as u can and watch their every move. If u want i could make alot of illuminati videos on youtube soon. http://Www.Youtube.com/DopeBigD
      I will make 3 every week if i dont get any delay.

    106. Only GOD can save man but we need to preach the massage in a good way that we don’t scare people but we educate them so they can avoid all the brainwash,we need to help people protect their kids and families from any satanic/mainstream media rubbish that seeks to degrade mankind to a lesser being lets please empower ourselfs and avoid beliving and being influenced by the elite cauz they the ones benefiting in the long run

    110. The Worst Conspiracy – Fools who believe or try to convince us that Black folk are not or can not be great without the help of/or belonging to some secret society. How Dumb and Counter Productive Is That

      1. Exactly black people believe anything and they know it. It’s a smart move to create this type of climate. It’s the art of fear mongering, they discourage us from becoming involved. Rappers like Jay and Wayne are extremely successful and they are black !! So what they do ?? Demonize them and make they’re people turn against them. Black people get money we had to do something extraordinary to get it, white get money its normal..

    114. great article! I’ve stopped listening to conspiracy theory rappers because of one difference: Religion – with and without spirituality. I have no religion at all and I’m happy about it. It seems to me that people use conspiracy theories and their religious scriptures to prove their points. In the 90s, I grew up in a era where CT’s from underground rappers were ahead of its time. I’m 26 now and everytime I watch rappers talk about the illuminati or NWO, that’s where I found out about how religion or religious spirituality affects the brain. that’s why I reject their gods and their religions: all of them are nothing more than crocks of shit and unbelievable.

        know how to thank this church of Illuminati and today am rich as my friend also, and also the one that surprise me most was that i got an accident with my new car and the car was right off but i still survive the accident and nothing happen to me. i really thank you people Illuminati. so i just want to share to the world that this is real and it have help me and work for me so if you want to become a member i can lead you into the court of richness and protection and even famous and you will never be poor again, know that it only a Meyerbeer in the Illuminati that can initiate you into the church of Illuminati they do not contact directly that the rules that guide the church. because they are fake Illuminati all over the world, this is my email jonnyblake6@gmail.com then i will tell you how to join, my number is 08066945589 or speak to one of the member in USA +17575827869. thanks for wanting to join us.

    117. Very well written article. Came across this because I found something on the internet about Rihanna being the Illuminati’s Princess? What is wrong with this world? I wish we could have a break, just for a minute.

    118. The amount of money you have does not mean you are part of a secret society. But it is the power you have to influence the sheeps. Many entertainers white black yellow red whatever the color may be used to usethat power for good. Now many use it to brainwash society. It doesn’t mean that they are part of a secret society just means they part of big government. We as the human race need to stop worshipping these false idols. It’s sad when these entertainers make millions but our teachers make far less

    119. Very well written article, props for not falling for the cliche secret society bullshit and actually researching what you’re saying, can’t wait for more from you man

    120. As to the theories of rappers actually joining the Illuminati, I know they don’t have the power to be part of Alan Greenspans clique or become a Bilderberger. The idea behind the use of the imagery is simple, as simple as joining a street gang for safety. It’s consolidation for the purpose of safety. The idea behind would be to say to those movers and shakers who control what we do “Hey look, we support what you do, in fact we do it to, though on a much lower level. We’re not like these other rappers trying to blow the lid off you guys, and for the simple fact that we’re supporters we would like to be granted safe passage into the new globalist plan.” The shady business deals are the same idea as blood in blood out in a gang, it shows they are willing to do the same.

    121. please, jay-z is not in the illuminati. it’s a marketing ploy to generate intrigue and keep his name in the limelight. if he were really in the illuminati he wouldn’t be so blatant in his use of imagery. he is a wannabe. and like the good author here pointed out, he doesn’t have the cash or influence necessary to be a member. he has a limited, fleeting social impact…he is a marginal individual comparatively speaking.

      1. end of the story is, wack rappers are being promoted/marketed by major record companies who only want to sell out and make $,it is known that certain wealthy families from certain Jewish groups” known to practice satanism have crept in the music industry. Freemasons and Illuminati are only a there to fool people, the real problem is that certain individuals who have become CEO of record labels and media outlets are calling the shots, real hip hop that is designed to speak out against the truth is being ignored. no wonder the current mainstream is wack, they will continue to feed you garbage and expect us to eat it like its a the best shit to listen to. search “Lazarus Pakistani Rapper” no doubt he will bring the game back!

    122. Do you want to become a member of a great temple and be a star in the world, or you want to become very rich in life and nobody can stop you from it, or you want to become famous in life for people to know you much and give you that respect, if interested then become the Illuminati member and never be poor again cause we will give you all your wish you need from our temple as a member of the great Illuminati kingdom, contact us now via email at: illiumintti@gmail.com or call us via phone number on: +234708153746525

    124. A well-structured and serious-minded piece.

      However, there is a significant detail that I think the author is missing. For the consumers of rap to believe that their celebrities are part of a secret society is IMO an entirely reasonable if semi-conscious cultural response to the $26K vs. $5M annual salary issue the author raises.

      I don’t think the reaction is as mechanical as Simmons argues (he’s being hyperbolic and IMO a tad haterific to get his point across) but there is truth to the idea that growing up with a certain image in front of you, and seeing no evidence of the means to reach that image even though it “looks like you” and claims to represent and inspire you, might cause some psychological issues.

      Just look at all the comments on this site by people who endorse rappers of questionable judgement, ethics and morality because they “go hard” and “do their thang” and whatever. Believe me, Brad Pitt doesn’t enjoy the same flavor of fanatic loyalty that Rick Ross does (though Roman Polanksy might).

      That said, I think that in this era where anyone can hit the comment threads or chop up a music video on their computer, some people have decided to empower themselves.

      I *LOVE* the hand-rolled “illuminati exposed” videos on YouTube because they don’t come from big companies or institutions… it’s people at home making $26K a year that want to talk back to these millionaires that are flaunting wealth in their faces. If they’re even vaguely committed to Christianity, then some of these rappers’ antics are bound to irritate, what with the skulls and pentagrams and such.

      True, these folks could/should just “tune out,” (and be left with what on $26K/year?) but we all recognize the hypnotic power of the beats and the rhymes, and some of us relate to a sense of cultural ownership… people are clearly addicted to rap spectacle, but as far as I’m concerned the mother and daughter scrubbing the Nicki Minaj video for satanic symbols and “enlightening” the rest of us with their voiceover are scratching and remixing YouTube in the same way that hip hop’s DJs did their parents’ record collections. And it says a lot that they’re taking “their own people” to task, and not “blaming the white man” with this new net-based element of hip hop.

      # # #

      On one hand it’s a case of Stockholm Syndrome, when the hostage comes to love the captor.

      But on another, and this is even more subtle and under-researched, Africans (men and women) were brought to the so-called New World *with their own* secret societies: healers, hunters, magicians, metalworkers, etc. intact. All the syncretic religions (vodou in Haiti, santeria in Cuba, obeah in Jamaica, etc.) were basically secret societies… do your research on Marie Leveau in New Orleans and you’ll see how it worked in the US.

      All the Black “greek” fraternal organizations borrow from the structures and practices of their Masonic inspirations and defend their rather elitist rituals by saying that the Greeks stole it from the Egyptians. That leads you to the Boule, Jack and Jill, etc. It’s a spectrum that also includes gang culture with its iconography, hand signs, code language and secret writing systems (peep “80 Blocks from Tiffany’s” and the P-Stone Rangers) are also reflections of secret societies.

      I’ll stop now.

    144. Are rappers contractually obligated to say a swear word every other sentence? If my mum ever caught me speaking like that she’d wash my mouth out and send me to bed with a sore backside (and I’m 19!). Anyway, the swearing really does get annoying at some point.

    145. There is only one reason the ‘highest human powers’ seek to draw in Rappers, or any other genre of musicians that endeavour to enlighten or be evocative with their music, politically/in a concious way, and that is to safe guard the future of ‘their’ planet.
      It is not about what any one particular emcee or singer/songwriter or band can do on an individual/collective scale, it is about the power at their fingertips, through the devotion of their fans.
      The opportunity presented to them to superceede ‘divide and rule’, which is one of the greatest tools in the box of the ‘highest human power’.

    147. i am giving a testimony of how i become rich and famous today… i was deeply strangled up by poverty and i had no body to help me, and also i search for help from different corners but to no avail… i see people around me getting rich but to me i was so ashamed of my self so i met a man on my way he was very rich and he was a doctor so he told me something and i think over it though out the day so the next day i looked up and i keep repeating what he said to me.

      ” if you want to get rich quick and be famous”

      is in your mind

    156. hip hop made the illuminati uncool no one cares they are boring and the church of satan hates them its alll kind of pathetic.

    157. Its hard to wake up and work and make a rich man richer while you stay poor, so we have caffeine and cigarettes. Still suffering? Maybe some music to distract your subconscious mind from the fact that you dont live for you. All that work and no play? how about some of this depressant dis-associative aka beer to distract from how much you care. And so that you never feel lonely even though you spend more time working with recently acquainted strangers than with your friends and loved ones, here is another pocket sized screen so you can always talk to them, you know.. about Walking Dead, or Candy Crush, or about how work sucks but you know you just gotta keep on keepin on. Everyone knows TV brainwashes you. The “programs” arnt for your entertainment, they are for your distraction, to lead your mind into the wrong direction, thinking about things in the wrong way. You dont program your tv, your tv programs you. They want us desensitized, but without us knowing it. Not that it matters if we do know about it at this point. And this new Trap music is a bit scary. extremely explosive trippy repetitive music with the most intense build ups and dirtiest drops and beats, EDM meets Rap. Samples and lyrics used are mostlty about the drug game, living in a trap house selling crack getting hoodrich, going to the club, popping molly”dat Miley Cyrus” lyrics sampled from rappers like B.I.G- “when i die fuck it i wanna go to hell cause im a piece of shit and it aint hard to fuckin tell”… Ive only been to 3 “TRAP” shows, Ive seen cops surrounding a huge lot filled with kids mostly all in their prime 18-25, smoking blunts, snorting cocain/molly/meth, dropping acid, drinking, or “Turning up!”… to the heaviest bass lines and trippiest noises. consistently used samples include “its a trap!” “run the trap!”.. the music is known for putting the crowd in a trance, especially if theyre on molly, which most everyone usually is as ive personally observed. On new years 2014, the djs last words were “Wear a condom, see you all in hell!” and while tripping on mushrooms, this music made me feel like i was damning myself to hell just by subjecting myself to it. I still listen to it, not knowing if it really is a “TRAP” or not, its addicting and catchy and the bass and drum sounds make me feel alive and good.. but i feel as though i should know this is just another digitally designed trap designed to amp up the sex, the drugs, the violence, the corruption and most importantly the mistakes made by young people so that the “wage slaves” the elite end up with are always young and full of enough energy to get the job done, but enough health problems and mental incapabilities to die out soon after they have already fucked up and had kids. If people were as awake as they used to be, they surely would not reproduce in this corrupt hell on earth we live in today. Id like to hear more opinions about TRAP music, in agreement or in opposition with mine.

      1. theres positive and negative and everywhere in between in everything in life every genere of music everything. i give you props for noticing the negative and heres a secret psychadelics like mushrooms are heaven for people closer to pure hearted and hell for those closer to corrupted hearted it empowers both side but becareful psychadelics are very intense to much of anything is bad feind drugs like crack meth heroin pharma drugs are straight corrupter drugs
