Jay-Z & Rick Ross

Conspiracy theorists, and illuminati hunters, start your engines!

Here’s a snippet UPDATE: the full version of “Free Mason” from Ross’ new album, Teflon Don.

The song appropriately enough features everyone’s favorite (alleged) Illuminati member – Jay-Z.

    You can hear the whole track on You Tube. In my opinion, it’s not bad, even though I think Jay’s insistence that his success is “god’s engineering” is as irrational as the morons who believe in some boogey man called “the devil”.

    Of course, all the bible thumpers might respond with that bullsh*t about “the greatest trick ‘the devil’ pulled”, (a saying that has been repeated by so many idiots, they think it’s true) and they’ll probably spew the same old, lame tired non-sense from their fairy tale books, but continue to ignore the COUNTLESS inaccuracies and laughable foolishness in religion and it’s texts!!

    If that’s what you wanna believe, knock yourselves out. But just know you’re FUKKIN STUPID if you believe in “souls, spirits, ghosts, angels, demons, or the afterlife”, or that the earth is only a few thousand years old, or that every organism in the animal kingdom co-existed “peacefully” in some “utopian paradise”, despite the fact that EVERY predator in the food chain (land and water) has almost ALWAYS had biological, digestive, dental, and other structures, substances and adaptions that SPECIFICALLY equip them for killing, or that some “clay man” and his “rib-clone” were tricked into eating “magic fruit” by a “talking snake”, or that rain droplets in the atmosphere NEVER acted as a prism to separate light into a spectrum of colors, UNTIL some “invisible being” put a rainbow in the sky as a “promise” not to flood the earth again, etc,etc…

    And for all the wanna-be smart dumb niggaz (copyright Katt Williams) who always talk that “illuminati” bullsh*t, you need to stop watching all those home-made You Tube conspiracy videos and Tom hanks movies, because you only show the world how truly ignorant you are.

    You’re obsession with this so-called “secret soceity” only serves to unnecessarily mystify something that wasn’t a secret to begin with.

    Yes, the world is controlled by a minority of wealthy and powerful people, who of course consort with each other (as proven by the G8, U.N., stock market, etc) to control global economies, commodities, currencies, policies, laws, wars, media, and the knowledge, perception and everyday lives of the worlds citizens.

    All of that is not secret!! It’s the inner workings and details that the every day person is oblivious to. But when you start to speculate that these powerful people are involved with spooky symbols and rituals (which even if they WERE, it has no REAL power), or that they worship some “devil” or spooky deity that DOESN’T EVEN EXIST, you actually harm any progress for positive change.

    Because when you define all of the worlds major problems as having some fake, spooky, supernatural source, consequently, people waste time waiting for fake, supernatural solutions.

    And people need to wake up and live in the REAL WORLD, and find realistic, pragmatic solutions instead of blaming everything on some “boogey man” or a fukkin entertainer, when the solution is as simple as raising our children to have common sense and actually strive for knowledge and self-respect.

    And finally, STOP using 2Pac’s name when yall are trying to “prove” that illuminati bullsh*t, because 2Pac DID NOT believe the hype himself!!

    Go listen to a 2Pac interview on You Tube titled “Tupac on the Illuminati”. It’s the one with the pyramid from the dollar bill in a red circle. 2Pac says in HIS OWN WORDS, why he put the “K” on “illuminati”, and he does NOT believe the hype about it, because it’s just something else to make us paranoid and less confident.

    @ Nikchocolate

    Just because millions of people believe something, that doesn’t make it TRUE. If you know anyhting about history, millions of people have ALWAYS believed a bunch of non-sense, in foolish attempts to explain and ease their fears of the universes unknown phenomena. Like the earth was flat, and the earth was the center of the universe, and the sun revolved around the earth, and that lightning was some kind of “spear” being thrown by “angry gods”, and that rain dances and sacrifices could alter the weather to prevent drought and famine, etc, etc…Need I continue with COUNTLESS examples of complete BULLSH*T that the majority of the masses have believed since the beginning of civilization?!?!?

    And I never said “I know all the answers to everything”. On the contrary, a truly intelligent person is the FIRST to realize that the universe is full of SO much unknown knowledge, that is is IMPOSSIBLE to know everything.

    But you religious people, on the other hand, have a serious problem with admitting YOU don’t have all the answers about the universe, so instead you INVENT utter bullsh*t to make yourselves more comfortable and less fearful in an unknown, unpredictable universe. It’s EXACTLY what Karl Marx meant when he said “religion is the opiate of the people”. Just like ANY drug addict, religious people use their beliefs to escape the harsh realities of life and live in a delusional fairy land, rather than dealing with life head on.

    It doesn’t take a “know it all” or a rocket scientist to dismantle the childish beliefs of religion as I did with several examples of simple logic!! You just need to detox the relgious bullsh*t from your mind, and you’ll think clearly!!

    You know for a FACT that you can’t muster a logical rebuttal to ONE of those examples I listed, so instead you respond with smug sarcasm, and this foolish assertion that “I think I know everything”.

    Why don’t you address one of the MANY fairy tales in the bible that I listed, like the age of the earth, or the omission of dinosaurs, or the “first rainbow”, as if atmospheric rain droplets NEVER refracted light UNTIL some “mythical being” put it there after a “mythical flood”, or how ALL the predators in the animal kingdom are naturally equipped to kill by the very nature of their structures, yet religious people believe they were NEVER intended by “god” to consume each other in a natural food chain, it was just some some “clay-man” and his “rib-clone’s” fault for being tricked into eating “magic fruit” by a “talking snake”, never mind the overwhelming evidence of evolution, and how humans and other primates have 98% of the same DNA, and even how science has proven that viruses like HIV and swine flu evolve within our life time, so evolution DEFINITELY can happen over MILLIONS of years, and never mind the dilemma that, the acquisition of “free will” (i.e. the choice of Knowledge of Good and Evil) in your fairy tale “garden” happened only AFTER they ate the fruit, meaning BEFORE they ate the fruit, they HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, (i.e. free will), therefore they, and CERTAINLY their offspring, would be undeserving of punishment!!

    If an ignorant child disobeys his mother by playing with the knobs on the stove, it’s NOT because the child did so as an act of free will, it’s because they don’t have knowledge of right and wrong. A punishment would be given to the child ONLY as a means of preventing them from doing it again and burning themselves, or the house down. But any good parent, if they had “unlimited god-like power”, would either make the stove COMPLETELY inaccessible to the child, or give them the KNOWLEDGE of right and wrong FROM THE JUMP so that they would know better!! You would be a COMPLETE FUKKIN MORON to let your child, WHO HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF RIGHT AND WRONG, roam around in the house freely, and expect them NOT to touch the stove because you said so, ESPECIALLY if you dangle all types of desirable food from the stove, and on top of that, you just LET some fukkin sc**bag, who is supposedly the EPITOME OF EVIL, slither around your house with NOTHING but the intention of getting them to disobey you!!

    And these are just a FEW examples of blatant foolishness from just the VERY BEGINNING of that fairy tale book!!

    And never mind the dilemma of a “supreme being” that supposedly had “divine foreknowledge” of EVERYTHING in “his creation” before “he” even chose to create it, yet “he” proceeded to make this creation having complete foreknowledge of ALL the EVIL that would exist…but people are suppose to believe that the cause of all this evil is “the devil”, “demons” and evil people, but NOT THE ONE AND ONLY BEING THAT ACTUALLY CREATED THIS PLACE, AND HAD THE POWER AND FOREKNOWLEDGE TO EITHER CHOOSE NOT CREATE IT, OR SIMPLY STOP IT WITH THE PROVERBIAL BLINK OF AN EYE, and plus “he” already had foreknowledge of all the beings “he” would burn and torture in the future in a “lake of fire” for eternity, before “he” even created them?!?!?

    And as for your comment saying “so no power exist, we are just sitting on a big ball of matter in the middle of no where; floating in space”…well, our solar system and universe is a little more complicated than that, but in a nut shell, yeah that’s the reality….and there is all kinds of power in the universe, both known and unknown, but there is NO good reason to invent fables about it.

    You are like most human beings throughout history, who INSIST on an explanation of the unknown that satisfies our fears and curiosity of that which we can’t fathom. But in the absence of truth and understanding, and within the limits of our human intellect, those explanations almost ALWAYS conclude that there MUST be a singular, personified MALE being, peculiarly similar to humans, that has a “name”, intelligence, motives and will, and creates things in a similar (yet more spectacular) manner, and has an “earthly son”, and writes childish fairy tale books!!

    The same thing happens when you ask a human with a very narrow view of the universe to describe what they think intelligent alien life might look like. Their imagination, (somewhat understandably), is constricted to a limited perspective that is defined from the realm of human existence, so as a result, all of the characters they create in their minds are humanoid.

    Furthermore, consider the irony in the belief that ALL the awesome scientific and mathematical phenomena in the universe MUST have been created by an intelligent designer:

    Of every single so-called “holy scripture” that is supposedly the complete and final word of such an awesome being, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE SIMPLE, BASIC MATHEMATIC OR SCIENTIFIC EQUATION OR FACT…NOT THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS…OR A SIMPLE DIAGRAM OF THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF WATER, H20…OR EVEN THE FACT THAT ALL MATTER CONSISTS OF A BASIC PARTICLE, ATOMS, MADE OF PROTONS, NEUTRONS AND ELECTRONS.

    There are plenty of hebrew and muslim scholars of the bible and koran, who have attempted to prove that there is some sort of encoded knowledge or messages within the texts, using numerology and other cross word non-sense, put you can choose any random book in the library and find any kind of “coded message”.

    In fact, ALL of the so-called “holy scriptures”, from the Old Testament to The Koran, are SO plagued with ignorance and inaccuracies, and SO devoid of science, math and logic, that it would be A SLANDEROUS INSULT to say that those books were the manuscripts of a COLLEGE FRESHMAN, LET ALONE AN “ETERNAL SUPREME BEING” THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY “ALL-KNOWING, ALL-POWERFUL”, AND RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THE FUKKIN UNIVERSE AND ALL ITS THEORIES OF MATH, SCIENCE, PHYSICS, SPACE AND TIME!! In fact, in the era in which these so-called “holy scriptures” were written, the people who wrote them would have called you a heretic and fukkin KILLED you if you didn’t believe the Earth was flat, and the center of the universe!! And good luck if you even THOUGHT about some type of scientific discovery that dared to rival the authority of such “holy books” !!

    Furthermore, consider how religious people believe that the universe is SO complex and has SO MANY intricate details, that EACH and EVERY thing MUST have been created by an “intelligent designer”…Yet, the moment someone reminds you that this complex universe ALSO includes BAD things, like viruses, diseases and plagues like H.I.V./AIDS, cancer, ebola, bubonic plague, malaria, syphilis, typhoid fever, influenza, tuberculosis, polio, meningitis, mental illness, down syndrome, physical birth defects, cleft palates and lips, blindness, deafness, paralysis, parasitic creatures, predators, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, asteroids,etc,etc, etc,…OH, then all of a sudden the so-called “creator of all things” isn’t responsible!!……It must be some scape goat like “demons”, “devils”, “evil spirits”, or just evil people….but NOT THE SINGLE, SOLE “SUPREME BEING” THAT ONLY “HE”, AND “HE” ALONE, HAD THE POWER TO CREATE,(OR NOT CREATE),INCLUDING THE THINGS THAT BELIEVERS WANT TO DEFLECT BLAME ON !!

    People, religion started with early humans as a coping mechanism to deal with the fears of their own mortality, and the deaths of loved ones. Animals share the same fears, but given that humans have larger brains, that makes us more emotional in response to death and loss, and our larger brains also makes us more creative to invent concepts like “spirits” and “the afterlife”. This became the basic belief system, that all people, (and even animals earlier on), would continue to exist in some other realm, generally considered at first to be a better place, or at least a similar one. This is exemplified in how early humans buried their dead with objects to use in the “afterlife”.

    But this singular destination in the “afterlife” became two polar opposite destinations as human populations grew and began to compete for survival, wage warfare, kill each others loved ones, and create enemies.

    They suddenly realized that it was not palatble for EVERYONE, including their enemies, to end up at the same destination in the “afterlife”, so they invented another destination where people who opposed their tribes and beliefs would be punished. This was the catalyst for all the various peoples to create their OWN beliefs, deities and rules that governed who goes where in their respective “afterlife destinations”. And this is how all the different faiths started to claim supremacy and use their religion as a justification, and a tool, to conquer other people and control their own people.

    When the reality is, when you die, THAT’S IT !!

    Conciousness is a function of the brain, just like sight is a function of the eyes. If your eyes decomposed and fell out of your head like dust, you wouldn’t be able to see. So what makes you think that after your dead and your brain decomposes, you will still have consciousness?!?!?

And as a freemason, they cant tell u that they’re freemasons, cuz they are sworn 2 secrecy, so of course they arent gonna tell u freemason/illuminati secrets.

    Ppl, do not be fool, the freemasons use to be a good organization, until the ILLUMINATI INFILTRATED THEM, AND TOOK THEM OVER N 1772. Illuminati means “enlighten 1s” becuz they talk to spirits (fallen angels) As crazy as it sounds, its tru. And er since then, the freemasons, has been working for the ILLUMINIATI, U CAN LOOK THIS UP. The lower level freemasons has no idea what they’re getn into, but the higher mason knows all too well. Dont let rappers convert ur morals.

    @ Nikchocolate

    The length of my post DIDN’T, nor was it intended to, “camouflage” anything!! And again, I challenge you to point out even ONE of my so-called “contradictions” in my post.

    It might actually do you some good to just take 5 minutes and read ALL of what I wrote, and try to OBJECTIVELY comprehend my argument, rather than skimming through it with your religious filter, selecting a few words or phrases that you CLEARLY misunderstood or ignored.

    The fact that you only chose to quote “unknown phenomena” doesn’t prove ANY point you’re trying to make. In fact, it only proves MY point that believers like you CAN’T win a lengthy debate on this subject with logic, so you make short, dumb remarks that can be shot down with the slightest scrutiny. In comparison to the HUNDREDS of PAGES of non-sense in those so-called “holy scriptures”, I find it hilarious that you think my response to that amount of BULLSH*T is “too long”, and that I’M the one whose attempting to “camouflage contradictions” within the text…SMH…

    You said “Who are you to dismiss one’s explanation for the “unknown phenomena” that you yourself say exists?”

    Therein lies the problem with people who think like you.

    Just because people are entitled to THINK or BELIEVE what they want, does NOT mean everyone is entitled to their own version of TRUTH or FACTS!!

    Again, if you look back at history, “unknown phenomena” covered a much wider spectrum than it does today. And history has proven time and time again, on COUNTLESS occasions, that the most commonly accepted explanations of “unknown phenomena” have been DEAD WRONG!! And when I say “DEAD” wrong, that’s not just a cliche !!

    The most commomly accepted explanations of “unknown phenomena” have been SO wrong, SO often, that history is LITTERED with examples of people actually being KILLED according to those silly explantions, most notoriously, among many, the Spanish Inquisition or the Salem Witch Hunt, to name a couple.

    So why is it so hard for you to understand that it is MUCH wiser to reserve judgement on such “unknown phenomena” and just say “I DON’T KNOW” until the scientific process can give us a defintive explanation, ESPECIALLY when the scientific process is exactly what has DISPROVED all of those other false exlplanations of things that used to be “unknown phenomena”.

    The reason is, religious people like you would much rather believe BULLSH*T and say “I don’t understand it, so it MUST be “magic”, rather than being a mature person, and admit that you REALLY don’t know!!

    By your logic, NOBODY should have questioned the most commonly accepted explanations of “unknown phenomena” like, AGAIN, that the earth was flat and the center of the universe, or the sun revolved around the earth, or that “blood letting” (an age old practice that killed George Washington and countless others) does NOT cure ailments or “impurities in the blood”, it actually KILLS YOU FASTER, or rain dances and sacrifices don’t alter the weather, etc, etc…

    How many more examples do you need?!?!?

    To refer to such people who actually BELIEVED that kind of BULLSH*T as being “IDIOTS”, “FUKKIN STUPID” or “wanna-be smart dumb niggaz”, may sound harsh, but it’s just calling a spade a spade!!

    If I come off as sounding like I have “anger issues”, as you put it, it’s only because I have grown to have a very low tolerance for IGNORANT BULLSH*T, (as you should), ESPECIALLY when ignorance, particularly RELIGIOUS IGNORANCE, has historically proven to be one of the TOP causes for unjust brutality, murder and discrimination, and one of the MAIN obstacles of science, knowledege and intelligent progress. Contrary to what YOU say, I have PROVEN here that I have something valuable to say, now it’s your turn. If you’re up for it, I would love to have an actual conversation with you.

    Some of you dont even know what a Freemason is!

    “The name Freemason as well as their symbol of a G imposed between the architectural tools of a compass and square is known by many, but understood by few. The lodges of operative Masons -actual stone working masons- dates back to the middle ages, while speculative Masonry -the process of spiritual advancement based on the study of history, philosophy, astrology, and mathematics- flourished late in the 17th century during the Age of Reason. Obligatory questions are often raised as to weather Masonry is a ten million member religion, or a cult, a haven for freethinking individuals, or a Lucifer worshiping conspiracy against Christianity, a fun loving lodge, or a secret society involved in criminal activities that rival the Mafia.
    The answers, due greatly to its own duplicitous nature, one that has created schisms between black masons and white masons as well as American Masons and the rest of the world, appear to be forever lost to time. Secrecy, you see is of the utmost importance to the Mason, and according to their own oaths, if broken could result in a number of grisly ritualistic deaths. Secret handshakes and passwords are used to keep imposters out, and even among their own they rely on a complex series of ranks and levels of admission called “degrees” that segregate one from another. Upon completion of the initial 3 degrees -the blue lodge- the celebrant may choose one of two paths of wisdom, The York Rite, consisting of an additional ten degrees for a total of 13, or The Scottish Rite, which includes an additional 29 for a total of 32 degrees. At that time the celebrant may be invited to join the ultra-secretive, and coveted, honorary 33rd degree. Researchers have also found beyond it are another set of “hidden grades” and other secret societies referred to as “Illuminized Masonry,” that the celebrant may seek admission to, making them essentially “a fraternity within a fraternity.” Celebrated Masonic author, 33rd degree Mason and former Grand Commander Albert Pike may have described it best when he wrote, Freemasonry “has two doctrines, one concealed and reserved for the Masters, the other public.””

    @ Rapptrapp44

    Nigga please!! I’m no where near blind. You’re the fukkin sheep with the wool over your eyes, still believing in fairy tales!! How could you be so dumb to believe that stupid myth that “music was created by the fallen angel lucifer”??? And you actually said “look it up” as if it was a doc**ented historical fact!! LMBAO!! Nigga, any mention of that bullsh*t in ANY book or website is NOTHING more than an idiot JUST LIKE YOU that was dumb enough to believe it and repeat it

    And you’re retarded for believing ANY music track played in reverse has a “hidden message”!! That’s an old myth that conspiracy theorists have been saying for years, yet there is NO definitive proof, only ignorant speculation!! The few so-called “examples” of old songs with “hidden messages” are QUESTIONABLE at best. Those sounds are usually SO distorted when played in reversed that you can’t even hear any clear, intelligible words!! People who THINK they hear something are just over zealous conspiracy theorists, making their OWN interpretations of MEANINGLESS sounds into spooky scooby doo conspiracies, and a bunch of other idiots jump on the dummy band wagon and say “yeah, I hear it too”!! Those are the same kind of morons that claim to see “the face of Jesus” on some pancakes, or the “the image of the Virgin Mary” in their dog’s turd!! Then they start listening to the dog like the Son of Sam!!! SMH..

    Have you listened to EVERY music track ever created in reverse?? NO YOU HAVEN’T!! You most likely have only heard a TINY fraction of ALL the music that has EVER been created!! And if you actually believe that EVERY artist (or ANY artist) who records music is sitting around trying to create song lyrics that ALSO have a “hidden demonic message” when played in reverse, you are dumber than I thought!! Do you know how long and hard recording artists work to create HIT RECORDS, let alone the effort it would take to make a HIT RECORD that ALSO has “a hidden demonic message” that the majority of listeners would NEVER hear anyway??? Get the fukk outta here with that bullsh*t, talking about “I wish I could tell you every thing I know”!! Nigga, anybody with some REAL intellect can see that YOU DON’T KNOW SH*T BECAUSE YOU’RE A FUKKIN MORON!!

    Any so-called “research” you claim you did is most likely a bunch of dumb azz home made You Tube videos, some Tom Hanks movies, or some bullsh*t books or websites that were made to rile up simple minded niggaz like you to believe some hyped up non-sense that is JUST LIKE the false accusations of Communism during McCarthyism, or “witch craft” during The Salem Witch Hunt!!

    The bottom line is, whether you believe it or not, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “THE DEVIL”, “DEMONS”, “SOULS” OR “THE AFTERLIFE”!! WHEN YOU DIE, YOU JUST ROT, AND THAT’S IT!!

    The bible has SCIENTIFICALLY and HISTORICALLY been proven FALSE on several of it’s claims!! Here’s one for starters, you moron:

    According to the bible, the earth is ONLY a few thousand years old.

    That is FALSE!! Have you ever heard of carbon dating, or diamonds, or dinosaurs, or fossil fuels??? Not to mention the MILLIONS of LIGHT YEARS between the BILLIONS of stars and galaxies in the whole universe!! I know the concept of millions and billions of years hurts your little brain, but it’s REALITY!!! WAKE UP AND GET WITH IT!!
    Go research that, and holla back when you’re ready for lesson #2.

    @ Nikchocolate

    You gotta be kiddin me. I already shot holes in the first 2 dumb remarks you made at me, and since you abandoned those, now you wanna come at me with this third turd of a comment??..SMH…

    You must really like public humiliation. So I’ll give you what you’re asking for one more time.

    You said: How are you assuming that I’m religious when I said nothing of the sort? Obviously you don’t get it…

    Chick, please!! Let’s be real, and stop pretending like I’M the one that’s lost!!

    No, you didn’t say you were“religious”, as in “a person that firmly believes in a certain religion”, but I didn’t ASSUME that you were “religious” in that context either!!

    I used the word “religious” as a GENERAL reference. I could have been more specific and used words like “believers”, “theists”, or “spiritual people”, but it wasn’t absolutely necessary for me to do so. I obviously was talking about ALL “theistic” people, I just happened to use the word “religious” people, which isn’t a big stretch like you’re making it out to be. You just wanna be stupid and pretend as if I used a COMPLETELY inappropriate word, like I called a tree an airplane!!

    Of course you would rather avoid the debate, and split hairs on the difference between being a member of an organized delusional group, or having your own personal delusions of grandeur, when it’s DELUSIONAL regardless of what label you use!! Same sh*t, different azz holes!!

    Given that your response to me was BLATANTLY from the perspective of an anti-atheist, by virtue of logic, an anti-atheist = a “theist”, i.e., a “believer” or whatever you wanna call yourself. I doubt if you’re an agnostic, because they’re usually neutral, and they wouldn’t have said an anti-atheist, sarcastic remark like:

    “Yeah, millions of people are wrong about their beliefs, and you know all the answers to everything…no power exist, we are just sitting on a big ball of matter in the middle of no where; floating in space…”

    Obviously, you were being sarcastic and you didn’t mean those words LITERALLY. If you replaced the sarcasm with a declarative statement, you would have the same statement that says what you really meant, just more straight forward:

    “Millions of people are NOT wrong about their beliefs, and you DON’T know all the answers to everything….(Some kind of) power exists, and we are NOT just sitting on a big ball of matter in the middle of no where, floating in space.”

    Those are the words of a “theist”!! And whether you consider yourself “religious” or not is unimportant. “Theism” is what you have in common with people who call themselves “religious”, and “theistic” people is what I meant when I said “religious” people, so miss me with that wack azz attempt to portray me as somebody that “doesn’t get it”!!

    I shouldn’t have to type all of that to explain something that should have been a given. But it seems you aren’t very bright and that’s why I’m not wasting anymore time replying to you. You must be too stupid or too much of a coward to actually respond with a logical rebuttal point for point, because you KNOW I’ll rip that sh*t to shreds

    I’m sure you have some lame excuse for not responding with something of REAL substance. But you know, and I know, that I would embarrass you in a real debate with an objective, intelligent audience!!

    And what kind of people come on a forum or blog site made for expression, discussion, and debate, and then complain like babies that somebody is typing “whole books that are too long”?? Are yall kiddin me??

    Is it because the letters are too big, or are yall just slow readers?? Because each one my posts doesn’t take more than 2-3 minutes to read TOPS!! I don’t mind reading long posts from other people if we’re having a heated debate. As long as you can display some sort of intellect, I’ll read it and respond point for point.

    I bet if the space that my comments took up was occupied with 20 other people with short stupid comments, yall would probably read them all…SMH

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

    For the record, let me say that I have never bought a Jay-Z album, and I don’t agree with the criminal lifestyle he is known for rapping about, but I do think he is one of the best MC’s, and he has made some of the hottest music of the last 10 plus years.

    It’s obvious that his success has come from talent and smart business moves, not some bullsh*t conspiracy theory.

    There are 4 main reasons why people believe that Illuminati sh*t about Jay-Z, and they are ALL false:

    1.) Because he is so rich and famous—-I don’t know who started this, but all of a sudden, everybody thinks it’s IMPOSSIBLE to earn fame and wealth without being a “devil worshiping alum of the Illuminati”!! People have just COMPLETELY IGNORED EVERYTHING this dude has done to get to his position, but I’ll remind you.

    2.)Because he calls himself “Jay-Hova”—- He has made it perfectly clear in his music that he uses that moniker because he sees himself as the “god MC”, i.e., the perfect MC, not because he actually thinks he IS a “god”. (To me, it’s like saying he is the “Santa Claus of rap”, but I guess superstitious people are offended). In his music, he has on several occasions made reference to his own faith in god. Example: “God forgive me for my brash delivery, but I remember vividly what these streets did to me”. In fact, during promotion of his last album, The Blueprint 3, he went on “Real Time with Bill Maher” who is a known atheist. Bill Maher made a comment in reference to Kanye’s song “Jesus Walks” expressing his doubt about Jesus. Jay didn’t even respond, he just slowly slid his chair away from Bill, looking up at the sky, as if to say “I didn’t say it God, he did, so let me move back before you strike him”.

    There are other rappers that refer to themselves as being some sort of “god”, but they aren’t as rich and famous as Jay, so of course conspiracy theorists ignore them. (Not that they SHOULD be targeted either).You have Rakim who calls himself “Rakim Allah”, you have O.D.B who changed his name to “Big Baby Jesus”, and you have Nas who not only calls himself “Gods Son”, but has it tattooed on his stomach. Then the most blatant atheist lyrics I’ve ever heard from any rappers came from stic.man and M1 of dead prez.

    Stic.man said: “I believe man made god, out of ignorance and fear. If god made man, why the hell would he put us here? I thought he supposed to be the “all loving”. The same god that let Hitler put the jews in the oven”. And M1 said: “F**k the bible! Get on your knees and praise my rifle!”. (These are my favorite MC’s, by the way). But again, none of them caught the same s**t that Jay does because they aren’t super moguls.

    3.) Because of the sign he makes with his hands—- Jay-Z is one of the main rappers that led to hip-hops obsession with diamonds. At times, it seemed like that’s all he rapped about. In fact, he was the go-to guy for the main song (Girl’s Best Friend) on the soundtrack for the movie “Blue Streak”, where Martin Lawrence played a character chasing a huge diamond. And Jay made the diamond sign (with 4 corners) as a logo for his “Roc Dynasty”, because the word “rock” is slang for “diamond”. That’s why he would simultaneously scream “It’s the Roc!” and throw up the diamond sign. Even Kanye, a member of The Roc, made that song “Diamonds Are Forever” where the hook says “Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe…The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme…forever ever, for EVER EVER…”. But of course, conspiracy theorist idiots claimed “he’s throwing up a pyramid, and that’s an illuminati sign!” Ignoring the fact that the face of a pyramid is a triangle with 3 corners , not 4 corners. Of course, those dummies will STILL insist that “no, it’s a pyramid he’s throwing up, he’s just showing a 3-D image, like looking at a pyramid from an angle!!”…SMH..

    4.) Because there are hidden messages/double meanings in his lyrics and titles of his albums and songs, and he has displayed some of those symbols in his videos and on his clothes.—- This one is so stupid, it’s laughable!!. These dudes are reaching so hard, they look like those fools who claim to see “the face of Jesus” on pancakes or “the image of the Virgin Mary” in their dog’s turd, or “the face of Satan” in a cloud, like in The National Inquirer!! Give these morons ANYTHING, and they will make a conspiracy out of it!! Jay-Z was asked in an interview about some of the images in his latest videos, “Run This Town” and especially “On To The Next One”, whether he was just trying to create more buzz about the Illuminati rumors, and he said yes, because it keeps the people talking, and almost ALL publicity is good for business. He is obviously keeping himself in the headlines, making his haters keep hating, and making his fans more supportive. If he was really a member of a “secret society” whose top priority is SECRECY, and had a “death penalty” for members that revealed secrets, why in THE WORLD would he make all kinds of public videos, songs, gestures and wear clothing that would attract the attention of THE WHOLE WORLD to this “secret society” that would KILL HIM for exposing them????

    Now let’s examine the REAL reasons why Jay-Z has been so successful….

    Jay started rapping and honing his skills as a little kid. When he reached his 20’s, he unsuccessfully shopped his demo to several labels, hoping to get a deal. After no luck, he finally decided to start his OWN label, Roc-A-Fella, with co-CEO’s Dame and Biggs. That is something that wasn’t even done by the two biggest rappers at that time, Pac and Big, and that is would helped him become so successful.

    In 1996, his debut album “Reasonable Doubt” received somewhat critical acclaim, but wasn’t a big commercial success. Despite not having a huge debut, he made some solid music that established the Roc-A-Fella brand, and “Reasonable Doubt” would later be widely respected as on of the greatest hip-hop classics ever, with amazing lyricism, wordplay, and production, and an unprecedented, in-depth evaluation of crime and street life.

    Around that time, between 96 and 97, hip–hop witnessed the murders of 2Pac and Biggie, and the beginning of the “Shiny Suit” era started by Puff Daddy. Those events effected Jay-Z in 3 ways: He lost focus due to the loss of his friend and hip-hop comrade B.I.G., a huge void was left wide open in hip-hop after Pac and BIG’s death, and he mistakenly tried to step into that void with some of Diddy’s “shiny suit” hip-pop gimmick.

    His second album, “In My Lifetime..Vol. 1″, was released in 1997 under a new distribution deal with Def Jam, and with Diddy as an executive producer. (The way Jay and his partners negotiated that deal would later make him one of the highest earning rappers/CEO’s in the game, receiving 50% of all proceeds, while Def Jam and it’s parent company split the other half. Most rappers aren’t that business savvy, so they only see pennies for every dollar made). Although “Vol. 1″ had done better commercially than “Reasonable Doubt”, it was somewhat criticized for it’s radio friendly singles, particularly, the sing-songy “Sunshine”, which had an even cheesier video. Jay has said before that he won’t even listen to “Vol. 1″, because those few mistakes stopped it from being considered a classic. However, “Vol. 1″ still proved to be some of Jay’s best work, with the lyrical and gritty tracks “Streets Is Watching”, “Where I’m From(Marcy Son)”, and the deep and introspective “You Must Love Me”. Jay and his partners even parlayed their growing success into an independent film and soundtrack both titled “Streets Is Watching”, which was well received by fans.

    By 1998, hip-hop was growing tired of the “shiny suit” era and was ready for a return to hardcore street rap. (A new futuristic sound was also about to gain prominence). This need for change led Jay-Z to return to his street roots, while also experimenting with new sounds. It also gave rise to the hardcore rap label Ruff Ryders, with DMX and The LOX, whom Jay continued to collaborate with as he did before they all got in the game.

    With the 1998 release of Jay’s third album, “Hard Knock Life, Vol. 2″, Jay-Z’s career would sky rocket and make him one of the richest and most famous rappers in the game. The single and title track “Hard Knock Life” showed Jay’s experimentation with new sounds, and his return to making street music, with a sample from “Annie” that resonated through ghettoes everywhere. This would prove to be on of his biggest singles ever, which was almost never made, because he just happened to hear that instrumental being played in the distance while back stage at a show. He sought out where the sound was coming from, and the rest is history. His other top single, “Can I Get A..” featuring Ja Rule and Amil, became extremely popular on radio and in clubs, and it obviously translated into huge record sales. That song, along with his other single “Nigga What, Nigga Who” showed his experimentation with a futuristic sound and his old school quick flow, and fans every where loved it.

    That album went on to sell 5 million-plus copies, and it allowed Jay to start one of the biggest, most lucrative ALL hip-hop tours ever, “The Hard Knock Life Tour”. That tour would make Jay one the top headlining performers in the game, and has allowed him to earn the highest performance fees throughout his career. He and Roc-A-Fella even released a film and soundtrack titled “Hard Knock Life Tour: Back Stage”.

    With this explosion of success and popularity, Jay and Roc-A-Fella became one of the biggest brands in hip-hop. They went on to make several lucrative business ventures, including successful projects from artists Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek, the clothing line Roc-A-Wear which rivaled lines like Sean John and FUBU, an independent film company that made “Paid In Full” and “State Property”, and even investments in liquor like Armadale.

    With every subsequent album release, Jay consistently went platinum with singles that were the most popular in clubs and on radio, and he continued to sell out tours, earning millions along the way. Jay also became one of the most desired featured artists, collaborating with everyone from Mariah Carey, to R. Kelly, to Mary J. Blige, to Mya and even the rock band Linkin Park. He also became a prominent figure on popular mixtapes, like DJ Clue’s highly successful “The Professional” series. And Jay was also a master at working with great producers and hand picking beats that he turned into mega-hits.

    Here’s a list of Jay’s albums after the huge success of 1998’s “Hard Knock Life” and the singles from each album that had the rap game on lock down.

    -1999- “Vol. 3…The Life and Times of S. Carter”………… “Do It Again (Put Ya Hands Up) ft. Beanie Sigel and Amil” and “Big Pimpin” ft. UGK

    -2000- “The Dynasty: Roc La Familia”…………..“I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)” ft. Pharrell/Neptunes and Omillio Sparks, “Change The Game” ft. Sigel and Bleek, and “Guilty Until Proven Innocent” ft. R. Kelly.

    -2001- “The Blueprint”……….. “Izzo (H.O.V.A), “Girls, Girls, Girls”, “Song Cry”, “Takeover”, and “Renegade” ft. Eminem

    -2002- “The Blueprint 2: The Gift and The Curse”……… “03 Bonnie and Clyde” ft Beyonce, and “Excuse Me Miss” ft. Pharrell

    -2003- “The Black Album”………….“Encore”, “Change Clothes” ft. Pharrell, “Dirt Off Your Shoulder”, and “99 Problems”

    -2006- “Kingdom Come” …………… “Show Me What You Got”, and “Lost One” ft. Chrisette Michelle

    -2007- “American Gangster” …………. “Roc Boys (In The Building Tonight)”, “Hello Brooklyn” ft. Lil Wayne, and “Blue Magic” ft. Pharrell

    -2009- “The Blueprint 3″……….. “D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-tune), “Run This Town” ft. Rhianna and Kanye West, “Empire State of Mind (New York)” ft. Alicia Keys, “On To The Next One” ft Swizz Beatz, and “Young Forever (Forever Young)” ft. Mr. Hudson.

    Later in his career, (after “The Black Album”), Jay would fall out with partner Dame Dash, but still continued to make lucrative business deals, like becoming President and C.E.O. of Def Jam, his own Reebok sneakers (the fastest selling Reebok’s ever), a signature fragrance, the selling of Roc-A-Wear for $204 million, and a $150 million deal with Roc-Nation.

    Although some have questioned Jay-Z’s business moves when he part with Dame Dash and Roc-A-Fella, it was caused over a growing rift between friends that had started years prior. Jay-Z chose to part ways and liquidize their joint assets by COMPLETELY LEGAL MEANS, and he paid Dame Dash for his shares in their company, even though Dame try to retain the sole publishing rights of JAY’S MUSIC, in exchange for the Roc-A-Fella name. It only seemed like Jay got the better end of the separation because he was the MAIN ARTIST and THE FACE of Roc-A-Fella Records, as well as a C.E.O., and of course since it was HIS music that BUILT Roc-A-Fella, he earned more of the profits in that company.

    NOBODY can take away the fact that Jay-Z is an incredible, talented artist that has CONSISTENTLY made HIT RECORDS for almost 15 YEARS, and he used his intelligence and great business skills to capitalize on his unique talent, NOT BECAUSE OF SOME DUMB ASS FAIRY TALE ABOUT A “SECRET SOCIETY” !!!

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

    Here’s a piece of TRUTH for all yall believers. And it’s not MY truth, it is THE truth, whether you like it or not!!! Like they say, sometimes the truth hurts, and some people just can’t HANDLE the truth!!

    FACT: there is NO such thing as “the devil”, “demons”, “souls”, or “the afterlife”!!

    The sooner people accept that, the sooner they will be able to view these so-called “secret societies” in a proper perspective. Like I said before, YES, the world is controlled by a minority of wealthy and powerful people, who of course consort with each other (as proven by the G8, U.N., stock market, etc) to control global economies, commodities, currencies, policies, laws, wars, media, and the knowledge, perception and everyday lives of the worlds citizens.

    All of that is not a secret!! It’s the inner workings and details that the every day person is oblivious to. But those people didn’t get there because of some fake, evil supernatural force!!

    They got there the same way people have ALWAYS consolidated wealth and power in the hands of a small, exclusive minority, since the beginning of civilization from old Chinese Dynasties, to Ancient Egypt, and to the Greek and Roman Empires, NOT just in medieval Europe, or colonial America: and that is through political maneuvering, manipulation, corruption and NEPOTISM!! It’s not right, but it’s human nature, NOT some supernatural evil force!!

    The problem is, when people start to speculate that these powerful people are involved with spooky symbols and rituals (which even if they WERE, it has no REAL power), or that they worship some “devil” or spooky deity that DOESN’T EVEN EXIST, you actually harm any progress for positive change.

    Because when you define all of the worlds major problems as having some fake, spooky, supernatural source, consequently, people waste time waiting for fake, supernatural solutions.

    And people need to wake up and live in the REAL WORLD, and find realistic, pragmatic solutions instead of blaming everything on some “boogey man” or a fukkin entertainer, when the solution is as simple as raising our children to have common sense and actually strive for knowledge and self-respect.

    And as it relates to music, and Jay-Z specifically, the powers that be are NOT interested in “acc*mulating souls” through music. They are interested in acc*mulating MONEY!! It just so happens that “negative” or “carefree” music sells more, and the customers tend to be more consumer-driven, and less informed on real world and political issues.

    But please believe, if the people in positions of power could make the SAME profit with more positive music, and still keep their positions of power, they would be MORE than happy to sell it for a profit!!

    And this idea that Jay-Z is so successful because he “sold his soul” is utterly ridiculous, if you’re actually familiar with how Jay-Z came up through the game… (continued below)…
