Rap and Hip Hop artists know what pushes buttons and they use it for record sales. That is the conspiracy with ALL commercial music though, isn't it?
Then why do they all go broke 3 months into retirement, do you actually think people like Jay-Z got more than $500 million?, not a chance in hell. The richest artists in the 90's and early 00's was Master P with "$400 million < yeah right". Where is he now though? still struggling to feed his family. Rock and Pop artists make a lot more cash than rappers, considering selling a Million records will only get you a little over 100k per year before Taxes.

i was addressing it generally, particularly to the guy that was so afraid that there might be monarch programming in the willow smith video after he saw a butterfly in it, that he couldn't watch the rest of the video.

Jay-Z is not big, he's a small timer. None of these celebs are in the higher ranks. None of them are part of the Illuminati, they are LOW RANKING SECRET SOCIETY MEMBERS. You know, the kind even Joe the Plumber can Join.
I'll be honest in saying that the people that make these youtube videos are not the most intelligent. They link everything with the Illuminati, when in reality the Illuminati are the enlightened ones. As for the secret society I believe you have to be born into it, via blood lines not initiation. Jay-Z is a FREEMASON, not part of the Illuminati.

A lot of people listen to Elvis, Slayer, Godsmack, Sevendust, Lacunacoil, Johnny Cash, The Staple Singers, Pink Floyd, and other "old" acts. If you really wanna rock the church house, you gotta go with Sister Loretta Tharp!

Hey Axle Rose wore the kilt and nobody got all riled up about it. Let Kanye wear his kilt if it makes him feel good.

The blueprint 1, 2 and 3 or the blue degrees within freemasonry. Why is everyone still crying Illuminati instead of reading my previous posts?

Wow. Just wow. Even with the "of an entire generation" disclaimer, I would never believe that.

The Freemasons and the Illuminati are hand in glove.
Are all Masons Illuminati? No, especially not at the lower levels, I believe they know nothing of the practices that occur in the larger temples with higher ranking Masons. Many are probably fine businessmen and Christians, but I have never read about a 32 degree or above who wasn't Illuminati, and the group infiltrated Freemasonry far back in history and use it as a "front" for their activities.
The Illuminati had its roots in ancient practices that reach back to the very beginning of recorded time, right back to the Babylonians, who created ziggurats to their deities, which the Illuminati had a hand in and also worshiped. They are also proud of the fact that it's an unbroken occult line from then until now. The names changed, the basic group stays the same.

Drugs, hoes, and the lifestyle costs lots of money. Some people are too stupid to realize that. I did not mean you were stupid. I meant the artists who cannot control their own spending are stupid.edit on 2-25-2013 by groingrinder because: Edited for more words.

I have never made over 13 thousand dollars a year in the 57 years I have been on this planet. With a hundred grand, I could live for another fifty seven years and never have to work another day in my life. Some people do not know how to manage their money. It is not my fault.
