Jay-Z’s “Run This Town” and the Occult Connections
Found Article August 2009 by Viligant
Jay-Z’s latest video called “Run This Town” (featuring Rihanna and Kanye West) contains occult symbolism relating to secret societies. It has been long rumored that Jay-Z is part of some sort of occult order (probably Freemasonry) due to the hints slipped in his songs and his imagery. ”Run This Town” certainly adds fuel to the fire. We’ll look at the symbolism in this song and in his clothing line, Rocawear.I’m pretty sure Jay-Z does it on purpose and that he appreciates the attention it gets him. He has been steadily displaying occult symbolism in his songs, videos and in the designs of his Rocawear clothing line. The Brooklyn rapper has lately been associating himself through telling hints to Freemasonry, Illuminati and other orders. Is he now initiated in one of those Brotherhoods and eager to show it off? Why does he appear in other videos containing occult meanings (see Rihanna’s “Umbrella” or Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love”)?
The video to “Run This Town” was directed by Anthony Mandler, who also did Rihanna’s “Disturbia” video. In another of my articles, I explain how this video is a metaphor for evil possession. The least we can say is that Mandler certainly knows how to insert dark symbolism into a video.
Jay-Z is not the first member of the hip-hop community to be accused of masonic rhetoric and symbolism, he is definitely under the watchful eye of the popular media, presently. THe crossover in symbolism and lyrics between the hip-hop world and the masonic world is a perfect example of the religious beliefs in pop-culture and the subliminal effects that it has.
