The reliably enlightening Vigilant Citizen has some very interesting theories about the new Jay-Z video "On to the Next One." Apparently, as illustrated by all the crows, blood drinking and ram's horns in the clip, Jay is deeply involved in an occult conspiracy to put humanity under the control of the goat-headed dark lord Baphomet. This was also illustrated in the "Run This Town" video, and also, presumably, by his taking part in the MTV video awards show in September.
"I believe there are two types of 'Illuminati artists': the willing participants (I would place Jay-Z and Lady Gaga in this category) and those who are clueless (Rihanna seems like perfect example). Jay-Z, being the smart businessman that he is, knows that controversy sells. It is thus a win-win situation: Jay-Z gets the publicity he is seeking and the Illuminati continue their mass indoctrination. But what will happen when the elites are done using Jay-Z as a vessel for their sinister symbols? Will they say ON TO THE NEXT ONE?"
Hmm. Gaga, too. Definitely answers a lot of questions. Note to Vigilant Citizen: we're way ahead of you.
It's not just Hov! Kanye and Nas are also totes into the occult. Or are masons. Or like fashion. Or something. Here's an old video from 2007 that makes the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX-xVN0xERk
M'eh, my care has been cremated.
Preferred the original version of this, "Drop It Like It's Hot." On the other hand, "On To The Next One" serves as an excellent directive for an audience about to shrug and turn Jay-Z into this decade's M.C. Hammer.
A MILLIE, A MILLIE, A MILLIE, A MILLIE, A MILLIE...
Illumi, Illumi, Illumi, Illumi, Illumi...
Someone is going to have to explain this Illuminati business to me, because from where I'm sitting, that's called 'Art Direction'.
Yeah. i actually think it looks pretty great. That's the thing about Baphomet, though, right? He's totally fly. I like the song, too.
1. That is an infinity sign, not a halo.
2. Those birds in the case? They are not crows.
Not so vigilant, citizen.
Those crazy conspiracy theorists at NPR were all over this in September: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112998783
(Horowitz's book is really good!)
You really don't need to go as far as picking out video stills figure out that Jay Z's beliefs align with the occult. His belief in self reliance, earned pride, and refusal of guilt should be enough.
pause at 3:51 you will see some sort of bull skull but if u notice look at the shadow you will see a human shadow hmmmmm. head of a bull but body of a person is america really this dumb?
