Lets start this off by saying that the Occult is not exclusive to Rap Music, it is in many genres of music. Also, let me warn you; there is what many will call a 'bull%&%* storm' ahead, but bear with me.

This video is a nice summary of what I am about to go over, it includes music and pictures; so you don't want to hear me ramble, this is probably a better option:



This thread is mainly about the Freemason/Illuminati connections between Nas, Jay-Z, Kanye and Tupac. The first thing that comes to people's minds about Freemasonry is National Treasure. National Treasure is true in many aspects, but at this point in time, the highest levels of Freemasonry are very evil.

George Washington was indeed a Freemason, this is not disputed:

UNSUPPORTED MEDIA

This picture is evidence enough. George Washington is seen wearing Masonry clothing, holding the symbols of Freemasonry. Freemasonry is the oldest "secret society" in the world - some claim their origins began after the persecution of the Templar Knights. Freemasonry operates in degrees as level systems, 1-33 degrees. Some claim 33 is the highest degree of Masonry, others claim 3 is the highest level of Masonry. It's something we simply do not know.

And yes, the Freemasons did design the back of the dollar bill. Pyramids and triangles are symbolic of their "club".

UNSUPPORTED MEDIA

This is the symbol of the Freemasons. Notice the "all seeing eye" (which is represents the all-seeing eye of Lucifer), also notice the pyramid that is formed:

UNSUPPORTED MEDIA

Make note of the Freemason symbol formed and his [Jay Z] eye positioned at the tip of the pyramid - making the "all seeing eye":

 

Before we move onto the Illuminati, also make a mental note of the special Masonic handshake:

First of all, the existence of the Illuminati is a historical fact. Though, their influence on world politics is merely speculation based off the testimony of those who were previously apart of the organization, it should not be dismissed.

"The Order of the Illuminati was established on May 1, 1776 at the University of Ingolstadt, then part of the Kingdom of Bavaria, in Germany, by a professor of law called Adam Weishaupt (1748-1830). The Illuminati were an interesting organization, with both esoteric rituals and a political aim, based on the Enlightenment philosophy and ultimately aimed at overthrowing the Roman Catholic and politically conservative Kingdom of Bavaria and replacing it with a liberal republic."

The Illuminati are the driving force for many of the things that are occuring. They were behind the Iraq War, the global warming myth, and many other things. Many Illuminati members have joined the Freemasons, and some claim that the Illuminati are in complete control of the Freemasons - but that is a different debate.

Lets just understand Illuminati as being a bunch of rich dudes in control of many aspects of the U.S. government and several others. One of the key players in this conspiracy is John D. Rockefeller

The Rockefellers are historically the richest family in the world, even richer than Bill Gates (you can even look this up on Wikipedia). They had 200 billion dollars a hundred or so years ago, are we to expect that they somehow lost this fortune? They didn't, they are hiding it from the public, because we would be fearful of a family that has more money than most governments. 

The main purpose of the Freemason / Illuminati groups is to reduce the world population, bring about the coming of the Anti-Christ and establish a New World Order. Before you write off the New World Order as "bull%&%*", watch this:

[video=http://youtube.com/watch?v=7a9Syi12RJo]

This all may sound good, but ask yourself this - if it was such a good idea, why is it kept in the dark?

Now lets move onto how this is all tied together:

Jay - Z's company is named "Rockafella", which is obviously Rockefeller. Coincidence? Perhaps, but there are more to come.

Let us analyze the lyrics, those who know Jay-Z know he has very anti-god lyrics which perfectly ties into the Illuminati Satanic rituals/beliefs.

Jay-Z has even gone as far to name himself J-Hova, which is another name for God in the Old Testament. This is an obvious sin and he knows it.

D'Evils [Devils, anyone?]:
Chorus: (scratched by DJ Premier)]
"Dear God, I wonder can you save me?" [Snoop Dogg]
"Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body..." [Prodigy]
"Dear God, I wonder can you save me?"
"Secret society, tryin' to keep they eye on me..." [Prodigy]
"Dear God, I wonder can you save me?"
"Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body..."
"Dear God, I wonder can you save me?"

[Verse 1]
This %&%* is wicked on these mean streets
None of my friends speak
We're all tryin' to win, but then again
Maybe it's for the best though, 'cause when they're seein' too much
You know they're tryin' to get you touched
Whoever said illegal was the easy way out couldn't understand the
mechanics
And the workings of the underworld, granted
Nine to five is how to survive, I ain't tryin' to survive
I'm tryin' to live it to the limit and love it a lot
Life ills, poison my body
I used to say 'F*** mic skills,' and never prayed to God, I prayed to
Gotti
That's right it's wicked, that's life I live it
Ain't askin' for forgiveness for my sins, endz
I break bread with the late heads, picking their brains for angles on
all the evils that the game'll do
It gets dangerous, money and power is changing us
And now we're lethal, infected with D'Evils...

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killin'
The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew, and soon grew black-hearted
Thinkin' back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnappin' his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was %&%*ty so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feedin' her money 'til her %&%* started to make sense
Who could ever forsee, we used to stay up all night at slumber parties
now I'm tryin' to rock this b!$%h to sleep
All the years we were real close
Now I see his fears through her tears, know she's wishin' we were still
close
Don't cry, it is to be
In time, I'll take away your miseries and make 'em mine, D'Evils...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
My flesh, no nigga could test
My soul is possessed by D'Evils in the form of diamonds and lexuses
The exorcist, got me doin' skits like Homie
You don't know me, but the whole world owe me
Strip!
Was thought to be a pleasant guy all my F***in' life
So now I'm down for whatever, ain't nothing nice
Throughout my junior high years it was all friendly
But now this higher learnin' got the Remy in me
Liquors invaded my kidneys
Got me ready to lick off, mama forgive me
I can't be held accountable, D'Evils beating me down, boo
Got me runnin' with guys, makin' G's, tellin' lies that sound true
Come test me, I never cower
For the love of money, son, I'm givin' lead showers
Stop screamin', you know the demon said it's best to die
And even if Jehovah witness, bet he'll never testify, D'Evils...

[Scratched by DJ Premier]
"Dear God, I wonder can you save me?"

Now you can see that I just didn't make this %&%* up, this song mentions the Illuminati several times. It is also 3:33 minutes long; and 3 is the most important number in the Freemason cult, some people believe that the 3rd degree is the highest level of Freemasonry.

This next song is conventiently called "Lucifier", which I think is the creepiest %&%* I have ever seen and I don't get scared easily.
Lucifer son of da mornin' im gonna chase you out of earth!
Lucifer, Lucifer son of da mornin'
[Im from the murder capitol where we murder for capital]

Lucifer son of da mornin' im gonna chase you out of earth!
Lucifer son of da mornin'
(Kanyeeze you did it again you a genius nigga)
[So you niggas change your attitude 'fore they askin what happened to you]

[Verse One]
Lord forgive him
He got them dark forces in him
But he also got a rightous cause for sinnin'
Them ta murder me so i gotta murder them first
Emergency doctors performin procedures
Jesus
I ain't tryin to be facetious
But "Vengance is mine" said the Lord
You said it better than all
Leave niggas on deaths door
Breathin off res-pir-rators
for killin my best boy, HATERS
On permanant hiatus as i escape
In the Maybach Benz
Fly this then Sanaa Lathan
Pumpin "Brown Sugar" by D'Angelo
In Los Angeles
Like an evangelist
I can introduce you to your maker
Bring you closer to nature
Ashes after they cremate you bastards
Hope you been readin your psalms and chapters
Payin your tithes being good Catholics
I'm comin


[Chorus]
Lucifer, Lucifer son of da mornin' im gonna chase you out of earth!
Lucifer, Lucifer son of da mornin'
[See, See, See
I'm from the murder capitol where we murder for capital]

Lucifer, Lucifer son of da mornin' im gonna chase you out of earth!
Lucifer, Lucifer son of da mornin'
[See, See, See
So you niggas change your attitude 'for they askin what happened to you]

[Verse Two]
Yes
This is Holy war
I wet cha all with the Holy water
Spray from the Heckler Koch auto
Matic all the static shall cease to exist
Like a sabbatical i throw a couple at you
Take six
Spread love to all of my dead thugs
I'll pour out a little Louie to a head above
Yes Sir
And when i perish
The meek shall inherit the earth
Until that time it's on and poppin', CHURCH
Like Don Bishop
The fifth upon **** either
Lift up your soul or give you the Holy ghost please
I leave ya in somebodys Cathedral
And stuntin like Evil Knievel
I'll let you see where that bright light lead you
The more you talk the more you irkin us
The more you gonna need memorial services
The Black Album's second verse is like
Devil's Pie - save some dessert for us

Man i gotta get my soul right
I gotta get these Devils out my life
These cowards gonna make a nigga ride
They won't be happy til somebody dies

Man i gotta get my soul right
'Fore i'm locked up for my whole life
Evertime it seems it's all right
Somebody want they soul to rise
(I'll chase you off of this Earth)

[Verse Three]
I got dreams of holdin a Nine milla
To Bobs killa
Askin him "why?" as my eyes fill up
These days i can't wake up with a dry pillow
Gone but not forgotten holmes i still feel ya
So...Curse the day that birthed the bastard
Who caused your Church mass
Reverse the crash
Reverse the blast
And reverse the car
Reverse the day, and there you are:
Bob Allah
Lord forgive him we all have sinned
But Bob's a good dude please let him in
And if you feel in my heart that i long for revenge
Please blame it on the son of the morning
Thanks Again

Despite that this song is one his best songs (in my opinion), you can easily see his anti-god stance. But, this is why it is so creepy; keep in mind - I don't make it a habit to go through maskmasking/subliminal messages, but this is far too much of a coincidence:
[video=http://youtube.com/watch?v=5GOAWWdukZo]

Played backwards, he clearly says "666 Murder Murder Jesus". Coincidence? Maybe.

But how does Nas play into this?

The infamous handshake of course. This is an obvious Masonic handshake, but the bigger question is - why would two of the world's biggest hiphop artists shake hands on stage? 

To be fair, I find it hard to link Nas to all of this, because he is easily one of my favorite artists, but he does give off some disturbing signs:
Where Y'all At? posted: 
I slow dance with the Devil
Snow setting in the bezzle
Mo' sipping, phantom bumping Aaron Neville
Polo black scented, eyes squinted
Air Force One's, with my own patent in it
Fresher than a star, glowing up in the galaxy
Pagan holidays, are way far from my reality
Far through Evisu jeans, lethal green
Oliver peoples shades when I creep through Queens
With no AKs, I'm the ambassador
Robin Hood in the Aston Mart.
Lotta *la*hd gonna splash in war
Task force homicide, federalies gonna arrest
But y'all ain't never seen nothing
Not a word not a hint, on the kid
from the Project Bench
That went Sony-BMG, to that new conglomerate
Island Def Jam, guess how many dollars was spent
To get the best man, yall
niggaz ain't silencing %&%*

Ya bench been wanna police the dick
The big Benz, Imma model ya chick
Was that posing, cash froze her
Cats stroke her, once I smash it's over
Cold like ice, more chains than slaves
Dangerous ways, Poltergeist change the channel
Roll the dice, I bring change when I gamble
I could sell sand to a Arab, hot and my gun handle

[ Chorus ]

[ Nas ]
The ill whip pusher, my spit wet ya
If you stand close to the woofer
Betcha get sprayed by my lecture
Any club with ladies or dimes, I'm a regular
Give it up smooth, I ain't beggin ya
Intelligent brainiac, brains maniac
Back of the Maybach, taste that, don't waste that
Eat with my elbows top of the table
Street etiquette with speech impediments
And s'til see presidents, no matter who paid
Cause you ain't take the last dollar made
Long as they keep printing it,
there's chances of getting it
Money's my b!$%h, and we stay intimate
Ask about Nashwan, could ask about Jung
Ask about Bravehearts, and ask where I'm from
Q Boro, specifically The Bridge
Don't ask no more question, ya know what it is

[ Chorus ]

[ Nas ]
Whether chrome sparking or loan sharking
Busting rachets or numbers rackets or drug traffic
My funds are wrapped up, no concerns who has what
Financer, skull doo wrapped up
Mob life, prizefights, plasma tvs or first floor
Diversified all my circle
Amid the most sickest groom the proof swiftness
Numero uno, annuit to wet this
That's the language of our Latin ancestors
On the back of a dollar, the plan and the message
In the Rolls Royce like the King of Nigeria
My criteria, smoke cigars
Change rap like Jimi Hendrix changed Rock And Roll
With a broke guitar, diamonds flashing
Almost put a million cash in, in my mommy casket
Seen more green than St. Patrick-trick

He conventiently mentions the devil and also states the message on the back of the dollar bill, calling for a New World Order. Remember, the back of the dollar was designed by the Freemasons, perhaps it's another coincidence?

Where there are bad guys, there are also good guys. The good guy in this "fairy tale", is my number one favorite rapper - Tupac.

As suprising as this sounds, there are some anti-Illuminati aspects to his music. The first one that comes to mind to most people is his album "Killuminati" (Kill + Illuminati), this might be some little thing to hold him to, but check out these lyrics:
They Don't Give a F*** About Us posted: 
Hoping that nobody don't notice
You must always remember you still a member of the hopeless
See ya black like me
So you snap like me
When these devils try to plot
Trap our young black seeds
Look it
Cops are just as crooked as the niggas they chasin'
Lookin' for role models
Our father figures is bases
Some say they expect Illuminati take my body to sleep
Niggas at the party with they shotties
Just as rowdy as me
Before I flee computer chips
I gotta deal wit brothas flippin
I don't see no devils bleedin'
Only black *la*hd drippin
We can change...

I'm seeing it clearer
Hating the picture in the mirror
They claim we inferior
So why the F*** these devils fear ya?
I'm watching my nation die genocide the cause
Expect a *la*hd bath
The aftermath is y'alls
I told ya last album, we need help cause we dying
Give us a chance, help us advance cause we trying
Ignore my whole plea, watching us in disgust
And then they beg when my guns bust
They don't give a F*** about us 

The most convincing part of this is, "Illuminati take my body to sleep". Another coincidence? Maybe.

This is easily my favorite Tupac song, many parts of it reference to killing the Illuminati. Another convicing part is the "before I flee computer chips." Computer chips/RFID are theorized by some people to represent the Mark of the Beast, which is essential to the coming of the Anti-Christ (which, remember, the Illuminati are trying to speed up the process)

I hate to reference this to V for Vendetta, but if you recall at the end of the movie where he says something to the fact of "Tomorrow's world will be shaped by new people, it is not up to me", I can see the parallel to Tupac's "I'm watching my nation die genocide the cause / Expect a *la*hd bath /The aftermath is y'alls". Tupac may have also been mentioning the Illuminati's population control ideas.

Some people even think the Illuminati were the ones that killed him.

That's all I have so far, maybe I'm just a paranoid dude connecting too many lines that don't need to be connected, who knows? The decision is up to you guys.

Thanks for reading.

Here are some extra tid-bits for those who care:

(Themes of Martial Law, another thing Illuminati is pushing for, also note the "Freemason" in the title)

(Possible Freemason handshake)



Interesting point from the David Icke forums:
IMO Jay Z has definetly sold his soul for fame, musicians have always done it, havent you ever wondered why reggae has never taken off in a big way because the spiritual rastas refused to sell out, its the same with early hip hop, the sound was surpressed for 20 years until they could find some fools willing to sell out.

Killah Priest, "Information":
Information, no doubt, ya know, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Information, literature, thiefs on the run, where ya gonna hide,
when the truth comes down on ya, you have to decide,
where ya gonna run to, where you gonna hide, information,
when the truth comes down upon ya, you have to to decide
you have to to decide,
information, we have to come with the laser scanners and shoot ya,
in supermarkets and department stores, direct mail houses,
were to record every single items we purchase, data about ya,
daily habits, and movements will flow into the b system,
from spy satellites, constantly searching overhead,
watching us like we're squirting, a suburban 666 database investigator,
entire race heading for a cyber-space,
riots breaks inside an em-pire states, every move you make,
is recorded on tape, some of us are white,
prisoned behind gates, getting minature videos in a brief-case,
recording our every activities, indoors, outdoors, day & night,
obscenely invaded our policy, our prophecies,
star gazing, because Allah's far amazing, than any greater god or for pagan,
raised in synagogs of Satan, awakeing with the starvanation,
left beats, scared and shaking, god with education, my birth was foretold,
from deep within my wardrobe, imbrase the cross-road, we once wore gold,
but now we electric probes with silicon brains, sinthetic,
all faces are strange, pathetic, check the eyes,
a man can't even recognise his family,
I blame it on humanity, for this insanity, spy satellites,
the last data for life, theres no day or night, CIA,
take samples of my DNA, new borns, grow horns, placed in uniforms,
shipped off to the military, with they killed and buried...
active tv sets will be watching us, just as we watched them,
they will also report back to the beast at computer headquarters,
out telephone conversations will be automatically wire taped,
and transcripted by the national security agency,
honesty, modesty, poverty, famine,
sons of Amman, deal with reprogramming, irus scanning,
breaking out of Satan's bondage, with long garments,
like we bionic, no longer paying homage, remember after 9-6,
we wear biochips, now it's 9 F***in', beware of armageddon,
*la*hdsheddin', and beheading, head on head collision,
in the valley of decisions, we locked the beast in prison,
here ya gonna run to, where you gonna hide,
when the truth comes down upon you, you will have to to decide,
where ya gonna run to, where you gonna hide,
when the truth comes down upon you, you will have to to decide,
when that time comes, you will have to decide, information, information,
you will have to decide, information, where you gonna run to,
where you gonna hide, when the truth comes down upon you,
you will have to decide, information, information,
information....
