Don't really buy that myself but it's a fascinating interpretation, that's for sure. Don't think I've seen the video so will check it out.

I've always taken Jay-Z's/any rapper's lyrics to be about themselves and the fact that they are minted, and not part of any larger group or organisation (save for record labels or clans/sets/cliques/whatever) - i.e. "I don't worry about the financial crash cos I'm minted whatever happens".

The symbolism stuff with Rihanna sounds crazy - I think it's there if you want
to see it, but that Baphomet thing sounds interesting. Got a feeling that appearances of Baphomet in music videos is, again, something down to interpretation but will check the video...

Oh fuck knows mate. Aboslutely everything aside from the bbc and a couple of newspaper websites are blocked. It's pretty daft really. Still, I guess it does force me to be a little bit more productive when I can't read the daily mash or anything else that helps the dreary time at work pass a little quicker...

Most content filtering lists are pretty standard... a lot of IT departments buy them already populated and maintained by 'security companies' who spend their time deciding what's appropriate so we don't have to. It almost certainly won't be someone from this company that decided that website wasn't "appropriate work viewing".

It's all very silly, whenever I've had control over web access policy I've always argued that it should be completely unfiltered. Interestingly, the place I've worked at with the tightest controls was Marks & Spencer (also the worst IT dept I've ever worked in), the most lax was North Somerset Council.... both of the banks I've worked for seem fairly middling.

after reading your interpretation i still say its just fucking pop music.

the fucked up part is what is BEHIND the pop music. Not Rhianna worshipping satan, but

WHO owns her record label

likely Time Warner, an equivalent or some offshoot?

where THAT money came from

what ELSE they 'happen' to own

what secret societies they happen to be in

who ELSE happens to be in those same societies

what companies/labels THOSE people own

add all of this up & you will find those who do not want to be removed from power.
in order to secure one's power, one must eliminate any threats to that power.
making them seem unpopular by comparison is a pretty good way to do so...

conclusion:
you dont have to put actual hidden messages & satanic references IN the songs & movies & media!
all you have to do is CONTROL it all.


people pulling satanism from Jay-Z are just setting the whole evolutionary step beyond this backwards...


but thats why its an opinion, eh? :mrgreen:
