      The Illuminati took over hip-hop to use it as a tool for brainwashing the masses. That's why you now hear so little rap that addresses real issues, and instead you hear folks glorifying drugs, guns, gangs and other secret societies, and demoralizing blacks and brown women.
      "Kanye for President"? Just shut up with that Trump puppetry. The Man rushed to brainwash Kanye right after he told the truth about George W. Bush not caring about black people during Hurricane Katrina. Meanwhile, the Freemasons seduced Jay-Z into being their hype man and spreading the Satanic slogan, "Do as thou wilt." His wife, Beyonce, doesn't actually deny their connection to the Illuminati in her song "Formation": Instead, she says folks are "haters" and "corny" for bringing it up. Wake up, folks!

All they are being fed is bull crap propaganda about materialism, sex, materialism, drugs, sex, and pure idiocy. Boogie Down Productions rapped about safe sex, Jimmy, with fly lyrics and knockin', beats... but these kids don't get to hear these classics or people like Immortal Technique or Phonte. It's time to change what goes in our spirits!

      I really believe the reason behind this garbage music on the radio these days is to put people in the prison system. I have a relative in the music business, he used to own a studio in Manhattan and has moved it to jersey. He told me that in order for a rapper to obtain a major recording contract these days he has to be willing to advertise expensive products in his music. Now when u think about it that this music is supposed to cater to the lowest financial class in the country what sense does it make to advertise products they can't possibly afford anyway? Well u also advertise that in order to get the wealth needed for such items u need to hustle or sell drugs. They also make it sound like going to prison or jail is some rite of passage. The end result is a lot of young people get locked up. There's even a rapper named Rick Ross who was a former correctional officer!! How ironic is that?? He acts like he rose to the top from being done type of cocaine kingpin when in fact he was the one tellin the drug dealers to get in their cage! The real Ricky Ross is even upset that this man uses his name to promote selling drugs when he knows most of these kids are not gonna make it. I really would not be at all surprised to find out companies that profit from prisons have a hand in the rap game. As a matter of fact I'm like 99% sure that they do. Sad
