References to the Illuminati in pop music go back to at least 1995, when Prodigy of Mobb Deep rapped about the dark ones in a remix of LL Cool J’s, I Shot Ya.
“Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body. Secret Society trying to keep their eye on me. But I’ma stay incogni’ in places they can’t find me. Make my moves strategically.” - Prodigy
At this time, references to the Illuminati in pop culture were scant, but the influences of secret societies and the occult on American culture extend all the way back to the founding of this nation. Many of the symbols we see everywhere today are from antiquity, many having dual meanings.
As he put it in an interview, “Secrets are put into the craft of the teacher. The teacher does not blatantly tell you, this is the truth.” He is referring the use of symbols to convey messages to those who are ready to receive said messages.
This is all backwards now. Fast forward to today, and the symbols, imagery, and deities of the occult are ubiquitous, and overtly Satanic content is everywhere now. Even Taco Bell and the Denver International Airport riff on the Illuminati to get your attention.
Like, for example, this video by Panic! at the Disco where a child is tortured in some obviously wanna-be satanic ritual:
Attention is the currency of the information age, and to have someone’s attention is to have influence over them.
Just like McDonald’s uses the golden arches to get your attention, pop-star marketing firms use the one-eye thing to get your attention. To let you know what they represent. What you can experience if you look their way.
Occult Worship: Hollywood’s Other Dirty Secret That Everyone Knows Of But No One Talks About
Take, for example, Eminem’s recent video, Framed, keeping in mind that Eminem is the highest-selling rap act of all time.
He’s well-known for drug addiction, threatening to kill his wife, misogynistic lyrics, and for endorsing violence against women in general. Yet he’s a darling and a hero to the political left, for some reason.
In the Framed video, he is a mind-controlled serial killer, murdering people and dismembering them, and all the while the local news media is giving him free press. It’s really quite messed up. Here’s a still from the video:
Which is why so many young rappers love to boast about eating mounds of xanax and opioids and not giving a fuck about anything, even life itself. They’re doing what they have to do to get your attention. And if they overdose and die along the way, well, newer, more like them ready to take their place. Pop stars are expendable tools.
