The Illuminati and Rap

Peace guys, before I go into this post I must say that this is the last post of the whole blog…and it’s quite right to look at the biggest issue in rap for the past 15 years…the idea that the Devil is running rap through the Illuminati. The Illuminati is supposedly a secret society that has been around for centuries but now allegedly have taken an interest in rap music. Could be a good idea I guess, makes sense controlling what the youth listen to right?

Since early hip-hop, rappers have been speaking about this, in the Jay-Z song D'Evils, the chorus has the lyrics, ‘Illuminati want my mind, soul and body…Secret society trying to keep their eye on me’. The second line can have a sinister double meaning, with ‘eye’ hinting at the All-Seeing Eye often a trademark attributed to the Illuminati as they are watching over literally EVERYTHING! But what is peculiar is how in music videos these symbols, such as the All-Seeing Eye, are everywhere. Take a look at this Jay-Z picture for example.

You can tell the subject of the Illuminati has been all over rap by this cool graph I found!

But several artists who allegedly are apart of this secret Devil society have spoken about the allegations; Kanye said in an interview how it doesn’t make sense for rappers to be part of it when people who control energy companies would fit suitably. He also said how sometimes with lyrics and music you have to have a compromise with record label executives, so really the artists have no full creative responsibilities. And that makes sense, like why would you make things like this so obvious?

Surely the point of a secret society is to keep things secret? This issue has been spoken about for decades in rap and I’m sure it will continue.

  

And it’s unfortunately here where I must leave, it’s been good folks I hope I’ve shown you how religion and faith has been prevalent in rap – if you have any comments feel free to drop them!!

Peace!
