Jay z freemanson conection....
Hip Hop President. Fashion Mogul. Show Biz Impresario. Your favourite Businessman’s favourite Businessman and oh… Lest I forget, Beyonce Knowles’ husband; Jay Z is a lot of things to a lot of people. But what about Jesus, God (whether big or small ‘g’), and any other deity for that matter? Nah! Jay’s line stops at the point where omniscience begins.
Shawn Carter was born 4th December 1969 and was raised in one of the roughest neighbourhoods in Brooklyn, New York. They say you don’t need to look too far from where you are now to see how far you’ve come, and this saying couldn’t be any truer than in Sean’s life on earth. So many of Jigga’s friends with whom he started life, either had theirs ended tragically on the street or at least had a significant portion of it wasted away in a penitentiary.
Jay was lucky. As a teenager he discovered a little thing called ‘music’ and even though he’s made attempts (albeit half- hearted ones) in the past to depart from it, even at the ripe old age of 40, old in Hip Hop terms, Jay refuses to ever let the music go… or wait, could it possibly be the other way around?
As much as music has given to Jay Z, it’s hard not to notice all the things it’s taken away from him- most notably his soul. I’ve studied Jay for years and wondered why a man that the Creator has invested so much talent and wisdom in would turn around and harbour such a strong and consistent loathing for God. Some excuse Jay’s bashfulness, which borders on celestial disregard, for ‘superior wordplay’ and his flirtation with the dark and mysterious are branded ‘creativity’, music should be taken at surface value, they argue. And while I could quite easily delve deep into the numerous symbolisms and inferences to Freemasonry and Occultism in his music, today is his birthday, so let’s just keep it tame around here.
But, let’s start with the world famous ‘Roc’ sign – some of us throw our fingers up in a triangle everyday without even knowing what that triangle means to Jay. That pyramid shape contains the ‘all seeing eye,’ which is attributed to the Illuminati (a top rank of the Freemason cult). Before you think I’m just bluffing, I once bought a Rocawear shirt with this same eye engraved in the front but hadn’t got the slightest clue of what I was literally getting myself ‘into’ every day I wore that shirt. Now I know better, that eye is the ancient symbol of the ‘all seeing eye’ or the ‘Eye of Providence’, (the same one on the $1 bill) and it represents the fact that a god, not clear which one exactly, is watching everything. Now, the Freemasons are an extremely clandestine group and Jay’s membership is almost impossible to verify, but Rocawear does have an entire collection of hats, shirts and jackets with this, and many other Freemason symbols, etched into the fabric. Coincidence?
This now births the question, if Jay Z is truly a Freemason, does the cult knowingly or even unknowingly serve the powers of darkness? Yes, according to the beliefs of some high-ranking Freemasons of the past. Aleister Crowley, world-renowned Satanist and witchcraft exponent, was also a Freemason of the thirty-third degree, the highest degree. He made famous the quote, ‘Do what thou wilt, for this shall be the whole of the law.’ This quote is in direct conjunction with going against God’s commandments and doing whatever man wants to do; sin. Jay-Z wore a sweater containing this exact edict on his interview on the set of the Run This Town video. Now being that Aleister’s quote is almost as popular as the witch himself, it’s tantamount to foolhardiness to label this one too as a ‘coincidence’. And if you study the actual video for Run This Town, you will be intrigued by how many acts in the video have a direct significance in the practice of Freemasonry, but that’s for another day.
You don’t even have to take our word for it; let’s hear it from the horse’s mouth, even Jay’s nickname Hova is a derivative of Jehovah. Jay says he got the nickname after impressing his colleagues so much at a recording session that they christened him, no pun intended, Jehovah, a name he shortened to ‘Hov’ to avoid people thinking he was somehow implying ‘he was Jesus.’
But perhaps the most blatant instances are in Jay’s music itself. To bring it closer to home I will just sample a couple of his lines from his most recent album Blue Print 3.
Empire State Of Mind – If Jesus is paying LeBron, I’m paying Dwayne Wade
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin, and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends.
Connect the dots and arrive at the conclusion that appeases you the most but I guess it’s hard to argue with a man when he feels he somehow equates to Jesus.
Okay, so we hate to play the role of party-poopers and birthday kill-joys, but it’s a tough world we live in and as naïve as we would like to be, if there is Gospel music and Islamic music then there must surely be another type of music that marches to the dictates of another drummer entirely. All we can do is to provide you with the torch light, it’s now left for you to see exactly what it is you want to see.
HAPPY BIRTHDA JAY!!
