Are You Serious??!
The hippest couple in Hip Hop has been accused of being satanists. I was really surprised when I first learned of this accusation. Some people are crazy -- Jeffrey Dahmer, David Koresh, Jim Jones, Charles Manson -- but to put Jay-Z and and Beyonce in this category is a stretch. I came across countless sites dedicated to "revealing the truth." YouTube has videos of Pastors delivering sermons about the subject. The sad part is the congregation all agree with a misguided message. They don't even recite the lyrics correctly. For example, instead of hearing "Lucifer, dawn of the morning, I'm gonna chase you out of her' [here]," haters think Jay-Z says "Lucifer son of the morning I'm gonna chase you outta the earth." Many blogs are filled with "facts" and analyze his lyrics line by line. I sat back and thought, "Wow! Are your serious? You cannot be serious?" Is your life that empty that this is how you choose to spend your days? Why put that much energy into something like that? Yo, I will admit that I do not care much for the whole Jay-hovah proclamation. Being a Christian, I think it's sacrilegious for obvious reasons. (Jay-Z says he is the rebirth of rap.) At the same time, as a Christian, it is not my place to condemn anyone to Hell. That's God's job so let that man do his thing.

I find the whole Illumanati argument laughable. It is interesting how Jay--Z has risen to that status where he is scrutinized so heavily, but folks need to get THEIR own house in order b4 even caring about Jay.
ReplyDeleteBUt perhaps this kind of discussion will shine the light back on lyrics and not image.
Well Jaz-z's video "on to the next" didnt make it any better on himself. LOL I mean ppl are going to say what they want. But to me the video was a lil weird and creppy but to each is own. So I feel you Casandra let the man make his money.
