Me and my friends have been discussing whether or not Jay-Z and other Hip-hop celebs are apart of secret societies for years now. I felt the need to touch on this subject since the topic has trickled into the mainstream public. Whether or not you believe secret societies exist, it does make a compelling argument. Here are three reasons Jay-Z may be apart of the Illuminati.

1. Why Not?
Weirder shit has happened. Susan Boyle sold a whole lot of records. We have a black president. Why not?

2. It Doesn’t Matter If Jay-Z is black
I’ve heard people that shoot down this concept say that Jay-Z would never be allowed in the Illuminati because he’s black. Makes sense looking at America’s history. According to most conspiracy theorists and books I’ve read the goal is to reduce the world’s population from 6 billion to 500 million. With that said it doesn’t matter whether Jay-Z was black, white or Avatar blue he’s able to push whatever they’re selling.

3. Black People Listen to Jay-Z
Jay-Z and other stars like him are useful because of their influence. In the case of Jigga, when Jay-Z says jump black people say how high. Especially if it’s set to a catchy Swiss Beatz produced track. Come on, this is the same guy who got everyone to ditch those corny throwbacks he helped make so popular only a few years for the “grown and sexy” button ups. Preferably those with Roc-A-Wear on the tag. And this same guy turns around and gets everyone to wear all black everything. Jay-Z is at a point where he is the most influential black man in America. Excluding, no one, even Barack Obama seeing as even Cornell West is getting tired of his shit. Just imagine if Jay-Z spit a clever line about how fundamental reading is. This is about power people. And Jay-Z’s words are powerful.

Whether it’s the Illuminati or some old Jewish guy at Def Jam, you can bet anything there’s some white guy somewhere pulling Jay-Z’s puppet strings and that’s the real point.
