Okay, okay, okay, recently I put up a status on FB speaking about the whole Jay Z devil-worshipping topic that’s sweeping the nation. I stated that Jay put out a new verse where he states he isn’t a devil worshipper and that he is a man of God. Nearly everyone who posted something stated that Jay was lying, lol. Now before you read further, note that I am a man of God, and music lyrics will not sway my faith. I just wanna play devil’s advocate, how fitting was that, to the topic since so many people are going off of what someone else has told them.
First off, the worst possible argument to be put forth in this topic is people saying, “well he worships the devil, of course he’s lying”. Well, for all we know, you could be lying. It’s only a few people that really know you, and I ain’t one of them, so shit you could be the dark prince himself and I wouldn’t know, I only know what you tell me.
Secondly, who in the hell says that freemasons are satanist or devil worshipers?? That IS TOTALLY STUPID!! MOST of them are preachers and have to take an oath of GOD!! So Martin L. King Jr. was a satanist? PLEASE EDUCATE and stop spreading IGNORANCE. If you are not in their organization then you will NEVER know the truth.
Jay is well spoken and use a lot of word the average mind probably can’t comprehend. Have any of you ever looked up the definition of the word run? It has at least 2 full pages of meanings, I only know this because I used to have to write it out when I got in trouble lol. He uses words and phrases with a variety of meanings, and most folks only use the simpliest form to understand what he is saying, and yes I called you simple if you don’t get that. One quick example, “And if you feel in my heart that i long for revenge
Please blame it on the SUN of the MOURNIN”. I bet many people interpret those few bars as “Please blame it on the SON of the MORNING”. Try pulling out that thesaurus and upping your vocab game, lol!!!!
Another valid point of view, most celebrities are subject to trends like everyone else. They have stylist that put them in whatever is hot for the season. It is plenty of people who put on clothes with signs and symbols on them, and had no idea what it means. So to say that the clothes they wear in there videos, which someone is directing them what to do, is a true sign of what they really mean is once again dumb. I bet I can get on FB and pull up a lot of things people wear and didn’t know that the symbol may mean something to an ancient culture.
I seen an argument saying the gained there wealth and fame to quickly and that’s proof of them worshiping satan. They both have been in there industry for 15+ years and that decent amount of time to accumulate these things if you are driven on your goal. Michael Jackson was the biggest thing on the planet once upon a time, and a lot of his videos had demonic themes, why did he get a pass? Jay and Bey have put in an enormous amount of charity to help better the world, but since its not front page you look past it. Now why would someone trying to destroy the world put in so much money and time to helping it recover?
Jay throwing up the ROC is his trademark hand jesture. I have heard people say that in his videos, him and Beyonce put up a pyramid over there left eyes that is supposed to be satanic in ritual. It’s a diamond!!!!! Delta Sigma Theta throws up the same sign, are they a satanic organization??? He has be using that symbol for years, and when Roc A Fella Records was on top, so were you.
I even read somewhere that Aaliyah, God rest her beautiful soul, was part of this so called group, and her name means “Dark Angel”. Everyone’s name has some meaning, and a lot of people don’t know what their’s is interepeted to mean. My name means warrior, my son’s name means god of war, does that make us any different then the kind hearted people we are because our names have aggressive meanings?
This is all I felt like getting into currently, and it was meant to make people to at least try to think for themselves. Following this trend without giving logical thought to it kinda shows that those who believe that they are evil are sheep, and willing to follow anything someone can talk them into. If that’s the case, I got cure for cancer and it will cost you, lol!!!!!! A lot of the hype behind this is people listening to others and not clearly examining for themselves. I bet a lot of you think the word “sex” is in the Lion King too, lol.
This pretty much sums up my thougts MDG. When I first heard about it, I laughed and thought it was a joke. Then I stopped laughing when I saw how many people actually gave that video credit. That mess is like the re-introduction of crack back in the hood.
ReplyDeleteThe primary reson being, that it is based almost entirely on unsubstantiated claims. In short, whether you believe it to be True or False, you cannot do either just based on what some video showed you. Those who don't have the know how to discern what their ears and eyes perceive will be in some serious trouble in the ever growing TV/Internet era.
I like that you pointed out that people hear the word Mason and automatically think evil. Without even doing any diligent research, (or even worse doing "uneducated" research) and basing their views solely upon weak second hand sources.
I hate to do it, but I have to go out on a limb and say that it's really "our people" who are concerned with and creating the hype for this stuff and at the same time it's our people who do not or care not to use a logical thought process. Like you said, we choose to see the connection of "Devilish" ties with Jay-z but choose to not see them with other artists/people.
First - Correlation does imply causation. Let's look at the statement "Children with single parents don't do well in school or in life". Sounds plasuble right? Well no, there may even be some that do better! But to argue my point, there might be some that in turn do not do well while having both parents. Without looking at any numbers or facts, you can't come close to saying one or the other.
...and secondly I think there is just something in the community that says find the wrong in someone who is successful or has money. (There's the unintelligent portion of my post) LOL
Peace Marko!
