Ab-Soul, who is currently completing his untitled upcoming album, recently spoke about his views on Illuminati and Hip Hop. During a recent interview with Miami New Times, Ab-Soul was asked who first introduced him to views of “an elitist world-economic structure or groups such as Illuminati.”
“Shit, man, probably Hip Hop,” Ab-Soul says in the interview. “Probably heard about the Illuminati through Hip Hop, to be honest with you. I’ve learned most of the things I know through Hip Hop music. You know what I’m saying? You listen to Jay Z and Nas and you’ll learn a whole lot.”
Ab-Soul continues to discuss his views on Illuminati in a follow-up answer.
“The root word of Illuminati is illuminate,” he says. “It means to be enlightened.”
During the interview, Ab-Soul is also asked about how he reacted when Jay Z mentioned him on Twitter.
“Shit, I shed a tear,” Soul said. “What you expect? He was not supposed to hit me back. [Laughs] He was not supposed to hit me back. I was with the homies shooting craps in the hood. That was crazy.”
Ab-Soul references Jay Z, along with other emcees, on “ILLuminate,” a selection off his 2012 project, #ControlSystem.
“I used to want to rap like Jay Z,” Ab-Soul raps on the track. “Now I feel I can run laps ’round Jay Z / Nas ain’t seen nothing this nasty / Big and ‘Pac got it coming when I pass too / You got the mic? I ain’t the one you wanna pass to.”
In May 2012, Ab-Soul spoke with HipHopDX about the names he mentioned on the selection.
“Basically it’s just a little warning shot at the throne,” Soul said. “We coming. Don’t get too comfortable. That’s all it is. I respect all of those artists to the utmost. I’ve respected them through my entire career. It’ll be an honor to meet all of them in some kind of way. But at the end of the day, this is a competitive sport and we’re here to win.”
In June, Ab-Soul named Jay Z as a rapper he’d most like to share drinks with in an interview with thepoetryquestion.com.
“Jay-Z, without a reasonable doubt, and I’m assuming he’d enjoy some Ace Of Spades champagne,” Ab-Soul says in the interview. “Of course I have millions of questions, but I really just wanna tell him how much of an inspiration he has been to me musically and as a young Black man in America.”
Ab-Soul is a faggot. This nigga shed a tear because Jay-Z mentioned his name??????

The First two comments I can see come from guys who do not recognize real shit. Ab-Soul is talented and skilled without a doubt. When he said he shed a tear for Jay-Z I scheme he was just be sarcastic. This guy has way more substance than most of the so called rappers out there today.
Ab-Soul is extra dope

Black lipped Hipster, go do some drugs and shut the fuck up.
Ab-Soul has done a magnificent job keeping you all afraid of us. Fear is the control system of which he speaks. Afraid of us always watching, like Santa Clause but real. We control all.
Anon below me… he has StevensJohnson syndrome, that’s why his lips are black.
Black lipped Hipsters lips are black because his skin is
TDE should sign Nino Graye.
Real HipHop

Ab-Soul isnt as near as smart or as talented as he thinks he is.
I heard there is this group called Illuminati who are advocates of Free Trade and advocate liberal values of the Age of Enlightenment, this sounds like an awesome group, how do I join? Does Justin Beiber know the secret password to their club house?
