Okay Drizzy I think Lil Wayne is a bad influence. I know times were hard in your upper class Toronto neighborhood and I’m sure you had to get down with a gang so you wouldn’t get jumped at Degrassi, but you’re a big recording star, do you really need to throw up gang signs?

    that isnt the bloods sign or the young money sign. that the 4 corner hustlers sign(the same sign juelz santana and cam’ron throws up). it further showcases the stupidity and ignorance of young black males in the hip-hop genre, throwing up gang signs, “claiming your blood”(im from new orleans and there are NO blood sets)not coming to the realiziation that there are certain ramificiations that come with the title blood/crip and false flagging , its modern day mind control because you have thousand upon thousands of young fans that instead of idolizing people like Louis farrakhan, marcus garvey, frederick douglass, and countless other people that uplift and empowered black people, these a*****es are destroying the mind of youth today with there degrading of women, materialism( lets talk about the $140k diamond ring that baby brought recently), what about the less fortune they call themselves millionaires but if you have so much money why are the people in haiti suffering(where is your donation) why are people in new orleans still homeless and jobless , but your definition of giving back to the community is giving people a goddamn turkey for thanksgiving(That a load of Bulls**t).

    also you guys mention that he was gangbanging claiming hes a blood and all this other b.s. the fact of the matter is that the bloods and the crips were factions that were started when people being to emulate and immitate Huey P Newton and Bobby Seale and the Black Panter Party. you some of you guys would educate yourselves instead of listening to Lil Wayne, you would know that who and what cointelpro is and how that infiltrate BLACK organizations including malcolm x, noble drew ali, malachi z york and modern day gang such as the crips which stands for community restoration in progress, two racist white officers go into bllod and crip terriorty as blackface and kill a member from the blood gang and one from the crip gang, mind you that the gangs werent initally about that, now it is where “you kill my cousin,etc.” instead of putting the s**t in gods hand but ego takes over.

    if you analyze such videos as “On Fire”is yet another tale of occult initiation, complete with a communion ritual. Although Lil Wayne has appeared in some occult-themed videos, “On Fire” is an “initiatic” video describing the true nature of his Rebirth. The video uses the same basic template found in other “Illuminati” videos analyzed on this site, where the artist is approached, tempted and initiated by an evil entity.

    if you look at the video

    The white rabbit in the hands of the Temptress becomes black. In other words, the white rabbit, the symbolic color of purity and innocence becomes black, the color traditionally associated with death and evil.

    Lil Wayne, his new rock star persona, gets up from a couch and starts singing the praises of the Devil and describes its irresistible sexiness in his digitally auto-tuned voice (can’t get enough of that effect … cough …). Here are some highlights of this poetic masterpiece:

    Mama bad,
    Mama mean
    Gasoline
    She’s on fire,
    Put her out,
    As a matter of fact,
    Take her out,
    Cos she’s on fire,

    Got on my knees and asked my Lord to keep me clear from the devil cause my girl
    She’s she’s on fire,
    Yeah now everything so cool

    Uh, she hot as hell lets call her Helen,
    Fireman to her rescue like 9-11,
    F-cking right I make her hot,
    She got the Devil in her,
    I do whatever with her,
    Hells angel, I pluck her feathers n-gga

    So I am not talking about “the devil”, “Satan” and “evil” because I am a religious fanatic of some sort, this is truly the theme of the song. Lil Wayne compares this girl to the Devil and explains that she is “On Fire” because she is straight from Hell. I don’t think it can be any clearer. Well actually, the video makes it extremely clear

    In the most symbolic scene of the video, Lil Wayne is approached by a Temptress, a sexy representation of the Devil, who offers him what looks like a glass of wine. The ritual is inspired by the Christian ritual of the Eucharist, where bread and wine (representing the Christ’s body and blood) are shared by Church members. Lil Wayne is however drinking the blood of the Devil in his initiatic rite

    The Temptress who gave Lil Wayne his wine glass is then shown with a skeleton face overlapping her own, further reinforcing this notion of “sexy but deadly evil”.

    Lil Wayne then “consummates” his relationship with the Devil. Submission to evil is depicted as something hot, sexy and desirable. This scene is intertwined with scenes of a snake, which, once again, hint to the real nature of the communion going on

    Snakes are considered by most to be sneaky, venomous creatures. In the biblical context of this video, one can associate the snake to the serpent of the Book of Genesis.

    “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
    -Genesis 3:1

    The snake is considered by most Christians to be Satan in disguise who tricked Adam and Eve into disobeying God. The same way the Serpent of the Genesis convinced Eve to bite the apple, the Temptress convinced Lil Wayne to unite with her.

    Winged Lion
    Among other religious-related shots, a stained-glass depicting a winged lion quickly appears

    The winged lion is an ancient symbol representing St. Mark the Evangelist, further reinforcing the biblical, “spiritual struggle” aspect of the video.

    Also

    Birdman’s Tattoo
    Birdman, Lil Wayne’s mentor, makes a quick appearance in the video and shows off his new tattoo
    It is an inverted pentagram, an important symbol in the occult realm.

    “The pentagram with one point upwards repels evil, but a reversed pentagram, with two points upwards, is a symbol of the Devil and attracts sinister forces because it is upside down and because it stands for the number 2. It represents the great Goat of the witches’ sabbath and the two upward points are the Goat’s horn.”
    -Richard Cavendish, The Black Arts

    In symbolism, an inverted figure always signifies a perverted power. The average person does not even suspect the occult properties of emblematic pentacles. (…)

    The pentagram is used extensively in black magic, but when so used its form always differs in one of three ways: The star may be broken at one point by not permitting the converging lines to touch; it may be inverted by having one point down and two up; or it may be distorted by having the points of varying lengths. When used in black magic, the pentagram is called the “sign of the cloven hoof,” or the footprint of the Devil. The star with two points upward is also called the “Goat of Mendes,” because the inverted star is the same shape as a goat’s head.”
    -Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages

    For this reason, the inverted pentagram has been used in the emblem of Anton Lavey’s Church of Satan

    I love how the “media” is pumping this kid up. He is like a bi-racial Kanye, questions is do the proverbial “we” need a bi-racial Kanye, hell do we need Kanye? He is from Toronto and one of the affluent “hoods” in Toronto none the less. Now he’s with Lil Wayne, therefore through osmosis, he is a gangsta? Whatever… I don’t care if it’s a gang sign, young $$$ sing, whatever, this kid is a product of the media. Is his music good? that’s the question. I heard him being referred to as a musical genius, ok when I think musical genius I think Stevie Wonder, Prince etc. This kid is the Mylie Cyrus of the Hip-Hop genre which is slowly dying before our eyes because we, the people, allow these pseudo-thugs on posers to take it over.

    Who wasted their time typing this article. There is no proof of that dude being in a a gang. Do you know how many people throw up different hands signs that aren’t in gangs. S**t I’m a Kappa and our hand sign is similar to the Bloods but I don’t throw it up around any of them because its a respect thing and not a big issue to me. Some people need to stop reaching so hard to create a story.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Moutrey/ Moutrey

    Mane, That hand gesture represents so many different gangs and other things. It just means that his a Young Money Artist that’s just what they throw up to represent. That does not mean he is in any REAL gangs, it is all cool with me.

    lol…Glad to see some of you have come and corrected this blogger. Honestly, I had no idea if it’s a gang sign or not, difference is, I’m not writing a story, mislabeling it though. Most of you are obviously not familiar with this bloggers work. 3/4 of his blogs are filled with misinformation, or based on little or no facts. Get used to that!

    @AZrock_1…..Well said, this guy is beyond over hyped. It’s a fact that he’s light skinned and doesn’t have a threatening look about him that makes the media love and push him on us. There’s dudes on the corner right now that can make ten times better and more meaningful music than him. That whole Young Money staff is a joke. Most people are jokes these days so they go fit perfect.

    How ’bout we stop glorifying gangs instead of debating who is and who is not in a gang. Isn’t it time we get back to an era of lyrics in Hip Hop? That’s what made Hip Hop great – it’s a damn shame payola is still alive and well for the radio, but quality artists still exist. Forget these commercial products of the record industry.

    Did anybody read Golden_Armz1 long @ss novel down there? And thank you people for clarifying this. Drake hasn’t claimed any gang affiliation in any song that I have heard. But I thought Casey researched these things. I wish Drake would’ve either signed to Kanye West label or even Pharell’s label as he sticks out of Young Money like a sore thumb.
