Freemasonry is just a reminder to us that we are living in an unjust, elitist world. It is not the reason this world is unjust and elitist.
No im not saying Freemasonry is the problem, and most low-class members (if you believe the fact that there a 33 ranks in masonry) never achieve any higher rank than the 3rd Degree or Master Mason, yet alone know that there exists higher ranks, they are just happy they are in a fraternal organization.

People need to be blamed for their apathy, but this must be done on an overall basis, not individual.
I 100 percent agree with you. however there are reasons for their apathy, and people to blame for it (ie media, brainwashing, babylon system :P), although that in itself could be used as an excuse. But anyways what else would someone whos been raised in it think apart from thats how it is, i see this everywhere.

so in essence Jay does incur blame even if he does fit this category, but we can't blame people for this on an individual basis.
he incurs more blame than others for the sheer fact he is considered a role model by many, he is high up in an idolized status and worshipped by alot of average joes and janes. there are many many more who have done far far worse than jay z. he is merely someone who knows where its at and and does whatever to put himself in good position in reality.
in no way am i critisizing him being succesful, good on him, however he could do more positive things with the wealth he has than just become some kingpin.

As for the mason symbolism, I think it's a coincidence that the Rockefeller symbol is similar to the masonry symbols.
We can agree to disagree
"Master/s of the Craft" is mason terminology, jay z sucks at controlling mics, so i dont reckon its refering to rapping.
and what about his song D'evils off Reasonable Doubt. All of this is proof enough for me.

Also, if you want a signed copy of any of his CDs, just let me know and I can get you one and mail it to you. You need to pay for it of course though. Regular price. Though I may be able to get a discount. Idk. I kind of doubt it tbh. But yeah, let me know and I'll call him up or go meet him at Fat Beats or something and get you a signed copy.
Ill pay for that. Ill leave you a PM or something.
