… has been viewed by the NY Times’ beatnik section, and was described as…
…created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)
Interesting. But then again, if you’ve witnessed his antics on the Matrix you’d realize that this is perfectly normal in his world.

Kanye’s tweets are hilarious if only because the subject he touches on are the exact type of things one would expect him to tweet about.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
you beat me to exactly what I was gonna say
thats what im talking about more about ancient history plz
i hope the video will have ancient Egyptian mythology involved in it
tired of these bumm ass rap videos where black guys rap near big cars with chick asses bigger then 24′s dubbs
exactly i was thinkin the same thing all were gonna see is a bucnh of dumb fucks sayin this video is illuminati related when in fact it has nothing to do with it!!
@ just sayin.the whole video includes egyptian mythology references.ive seen a snippet. its about him killing his ego.
I guess I’ll be the first to say it, but this sounds a lot like he’s trying to put himself in the shoes of the Grand Architect. I don’t even follow the Freemason stuff too much, but I think they are playing with something very serious to keep people on the edge of their seat waiting for what’s the next sign. A REAL Mason would never be so bold to show the world these things in this manner. Obviously their camp is playing with the minds of immature and mold-able minds for profit. I can’t knock the hustle though. I learned that from Jigga years ago(before he stared knocking Camron’s and Chris Brown’s).
that head is of the egyption god horus the god of war and hunting
LMFAO @ *Pops popcorn and waits for Illuminati comments*
Yea those are bound to pop up these lames have nothing better to do with their lives then believe in irrelevant bullsh*t.
*Correction: Spec-c was right. The sword bearer is the Grand Architect and the head was that of Horus in the Masonic logo.
true that! @king Geezy… and free mason are bad people. i got 2 grandads and a uncle that are mason’s and there GODLY Men.they dont wanna take over the world or worship the fuckin devil. learn whats real stop listening to the media and the lying ass government
i meant are not bad people lol
Yet another sign of the powers that be
^^no you were right the first time
I wanna see the video b4 I start with the Satan shit
& @BKSOWN iam in college Iam more than likely smarter than you and I read deep into this “illuminati shit so fuck off
“The Sword of Damocles” I’ve already read that story it’s a good story I can’t wait to see it on in the video u dumb ass niggas haven’t even read that I read it in 07
b
video is gunna be dope.
expect nothin less from kanye
(Terry Crew’s voice)
Po-po-po-po-POWER!!!
This is greek Mythology, the sword of damocles is a anecdote about the pressure that comes along with power, and the pain of luxury, thats why he has a huge chain to represent his immense wealth, and thats why hes in a classical sturtucre (greek/roman). nothing to do with free masons in my opinion
hahah that description just is almost mind blowing, but then you realize how fucking creative kanye is! this nigga is always on poiinnnnntt with w.e he does.
“some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade.”
i fucking wanna see this!!! it sounds like to crazy. how the fuck did ‘ye think of that shit!

yo no lie this might be one of the best hip hop videos off ALL TIME!
The only reason why some of you think he’s so creative outside of his music is because you don’t know your history. Rio$ knows..
DallasTX you are a fucking retard if you think just because you are in college you are smarter than someone. and i am a college graduate.
illuminati talk may not have started if the first person never mentioned it. what you did there was fuel the flame, thanks…..
Kanye is on some renaissance of the classical arts ish. yeah hes talking egypt but hes talking carolingian, merovingian, ottonian, he is bringing about a classical resurgence. if you looked at his twitter all it is, is references to these artists, the molders, these designers, their works, and the lifestyle. Kasnye is sipping water from goblets. its not because hes illuminati, its just because he’s trying to parallel his greatness to the already proven greatness of centuries ago.
http://usershare.net/d6ysf5lew6nq
Im Sure everyone would enjoy this song
why is kanye rocking a super huge horus chain? he used to rock a jesus piece..i guess he realized that the story of jesus is almost identical to the story of horus..interested even if he isn’t in the illuminiti..why would he use such strong imagery?
why would he use weak imagery?
but why would he choose horus?
Do your research on the 33rd degree (highest level) Masons
It’s satanic. The masons believe in allowing you to believe the opposite of the truth until the 33rd level…
Then, they give you the real
Aint enough music in this post…So until ya play somethin, Im a be bumpin this.

@word4word could Horus just be a reference to the Egyptian Jesus? We often get caught up on them being different, not being able to accept Jesus and Horus to be the same person, but if they are both from God, then they can be the same, after all God has many names in many different languages. Or perhaps it could be Kanye trying to reaffirm himself as a black man in a white mans world [word to pac]. In one of his lines he says they tried to convince him the pyramids were built by aliens, so clearly he is feeling some kind of way about the politics of race and how far they date back.
The irony in all of this is, if he is indeed feeling some kind of pride towards the Egyptian history then the goblets, paintings, and gospels he is spending his money on lately [documentation via twitter] is counter productive to that notion.
word4word< WELL horus is the god of war and hunting….remember "my chain heavy my chain chain heavy".
cheaaaaaaa
word4word< this just my interpretaion..the chain around his neck might be him fighting and hutning his way to riches and fame etc..it hangs on his neck like a noose or the chains of a slave. but its gold so to those those who obsever it glitters (all that glitters is not gold)
wearing a jesus piece would more depict an object of protection
p.p.s
end of the day kanye makes ppl talk..sad thing is if niggas do too much talking and not enuff reading.
The Book of The Laws (The Mason Bible) written in the early 1900′s is where Horus speaks through a possesed writter. The book is broken down into 3 sections (each being spoke from a different God) and speaks on accepting The Beast for POWER. It even says for “Ye to pick and island” (Hawaii maybe?)
illuminati in yeezy mind do you know where i can get that book?
kanye can be feeling like he is horus, probably the most likely answer, he is known for controversy. sure he considers himself a god, many people do.
does it always have to be soo deep though? if you had hella money to blow what would you buy? you would put a face of yourself [rick ross] bart simpson [gucci mane] or would you put something with some real worth. that chain was an investment. maybe its not saying anything except he has fine taste
@pineapple Express & @Truth: I feel both of you..I just find in very ironic that Kanye has been on this tip ever since the “Run This City” video. All I know is Kanye has Power because of the wealth he has accumulated and so he can do things like wear a horus chain and everything but I think there is more to it because of the fact that Kanye is educated and knows what Symbols can do when being presented to the masses. That plays a key role in the “illuminiti speculation”.
i feel like if jay or kanye were in the illuminati. the illuminati would of murdered them by now because the bringing too much attn. nobody was thinking about them until jay z and now everybody on the heels….

Cosign.
@Truth – If they were apart of that organization, Why would they want to kill their messengers? Wouldn’t that be backwards?
because its a secret society that everyone is now snooping around.
because its a secret society thats not so secret anymore
When can we see it?
I wouldn’t advise anyone to read or study that book because the contents within it are satanic. Protect your mind. Protect your soul. Study GOD.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was proving to the world he didn’t exist….

It’s called “The Book of the Law” or its full name “Liber AL vel Legis”, written by well-known Satanist Alister Crowley. It’s based on Thelemic philosophy developed by Crowely while on a trip to Egypt. Crowley is responsible for the saying “Do what thou wilt” which ya man Jay Z had plasters on a hoodie he wore in an interview not too long ago.
“I guess he realized that the story of jesus is almost identical to the story of horus”
Exactly, it could be social commentary but no, people would rather run around being negative spouting rumors of being in some secret society.
Horus represents light where as Set/Anubis represents darkness. I fail to see the correlation between the illuminati. Them choosing to make him their idol (if that’s even the case) means fuck all. I could say Pikachu is God and start up a cult, that doesn’t make Pikachu evil now does it?
Stop trying to break everything down and just take shit with a grain of salt. If I were in his position I’d fuck with all your minds too since you’re all clearly retarded.
YaBoyRampz started is comment with “I guess” (I stopped there)
This is real Brah…Count the time the phrase “Darkside” has been or are being used by our “favorite” hip-hop artists..
Aleister Crowley (pronounced /ˈkroʊli/; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, and also known as both Frater Perdurabo and The Great Beast, was an influential English occultist, mystic and ceremonial magician, responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema. He was a member of the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as well as a co-founder of the A∴A∴ and eventually a leader of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.). He is known today for his magical writings, especially The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema, although he also wrote widely on other subjects, including a large amount of fiction and poetry.
Crowley was also a hedonist, bisexual, recreational drug experimenter, and social critic.[1] In many of these roles he “was in revolt against the moral and religious values of his time”, espousing a form of libertinism based upon the rule of “Do What Thou Wilt”.[2] Because of this, he gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime, and was denounced in the popular press of the day as “the wickedest man in the world.” Alongside his esoteric activities, he was an avid chess player, mountaineer, poet, playwright and it has also been alleged that he was a spy for the British government
n 1904, Crowley and his new wife Rose traveled to Egypt using the pseudonym of Prince and Princess Chioa Khan, titles which Crowley claimed had been bestowed upon him by an eastern potentate.[52] During this time, according to Crowley’s own account, Rose, who was pregnant, had become somewhat delusional, regularly informing him that “they are waiting for you”. It was on 18 March, after Crowley sought the aid of the Egyptian god Thoth, that she actually revealed who the “they” were – the god Horus and his alleged messenger. She then led him to a nearby museum in Cairo where she showed him a seventh century BCE mortuary stele known as the Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu (it would later come to be revered in Thelema as the “Stele of Revealing”); Crowley was astounded for the exhibit’s number was 666, the number of the beast.[53] He took this all to be a sign and on 20 March began invoking the god Horus in his room. It was after this invocation that Rose, or as he now referred to her, Ouarda the Seeress, informed him that “the Equinox of the Gods had come”.[54] This referred to a more cosmic version of the regular Golden Dawn ritual of the Equinox, when they changed their initiating officer and password. The Equinox of the Gods supposedly replaces the office’s ruling deity Osiris with Horus.

What YaBoyRampz said
I used to study this conspiracy ish like I was the Question from DC comics. I see all the stuff all these youtube investigators see, yet I also don’t. I’ve studied the Tri Laterals, Builderbergers, Rockafellers, The Rosicrucian, Skull & Bones, Illuminati (Both Bavarian & Babylonian), Scottish Rite, Brother Hood of the Serpent, The Merovengians, etc. I even used to take my time to link them all and form a hierarchy of who reports to who lol. Said all that to say this, folk, At the end of the all we know is that we don’t know. This is a never ending rabit whole with infinite possibilty. My Sabbah is a high ranking Free Mason, even tried to recruit my pops, shit a dude at my college came at me about joining one of these societies. So I know these groups exist but to what extent and their level of influence may never exist.
As far as this all relates to hip-hop artists. Are this Illuminati spotting pisses me off cuz it implies that Nubians can’t become successful and independently wealthy w/o the help of some White owned shadow society. And if the goal of the unseen hand is to dumb down the populace and make them easier to manipulate (mission loooong accomplished) then wouldn’t it make more sense to make all the ringtone trap rappers their pawns?
“but to what extent and their level of influence we will never know.”
And honestly chicks in devil horns bowing down to him sounds more like some Nuwabian/Gods & Earth ish lol. Especially with all the Classical Khemetic (Egyptian) imagery.
Anyways, can’t wait to see this video. Sounds very interesting and layered. Lovin’ that Horus piece.
@speakonit!
Nigga are you BLIND?! Did you not see the quotation marks? smh. I apologize for being completely logical, you’re right, just like that block of text you copied and pasted off of Wikipedia is factual. I’m sure there is NO possibility this shit has been twisted through the grapevine and that something as obscure as this from 1904 remains completely intact.
@JonesDeini
‘I used to study this conspiracy ish like I was the Question from DC comics’ lol. That’s real talk right there. I never went as in depth as you did but I was on a similar tip until I got paranoid about it all. At the end of the day it’s all possibility and bares no relevance on my life so who the fuck cares? I say focus on your own shit and keep it moving man.
i got a bible. might as well read the opposing book…. thats how you truly learn
@ YaBoyRampz
Man I was on this shit heavy when I was a shorty in high school. Used to spend my whole lunch period kicking knowledge to cats on this ish (when I wasn’t on the females lol). And honestly, in retrospect I mosdef should’ve spent more time on the womenry.
As you said, folk, only thing we can do is keep it movin’ and doin’ our thing. I mean if it ain’t true then you waisting your life jumping from shadows, when you could be actively making a difference in real issues. If it is true then shit, the hell can you do? These mo’ fuckers kill kings, emperors,& presidents and have extraterrestrial backing lol. Trily though, the rich and powerful have always ruled this world and will continue to do so. *Kanye Shoulder Shrug* D’oh the hells well.
lmao…yall really looking too deep into this…kanye did the video because its gonna look cool…there was prolly no deep research or attempt to understand what the aesthetic design meant/means….its because it looks cool…maybe the director is tryin to put a message, but i highly doubt kanye is off some shit like that….its gonna be a cool lookin video and thats the point…
Didn’t even read the whole thing. Why spoil the vid b4 it drops??
“Pops popcorn and waits for Illuminati comments”
Your comment was the first comment about that shit bud….lol….im sure u didn’t think about saying that for no reason.
its funny how people deny the truth, even when its their own conclusion. i feel sorry for those who don’t see the problem in a man portraying himself being worshiped by devils/demons Rihanas lol. whatever u wanna call it…..lets see what they have to see in the here after.
“Well umm….God” Shamefully…”It was just artistic and creative” hahaha
And they set up (idols) as equal to Allah, to mislead (men) from the Path! Say: “Enjoy (your brief POWER)! But verily ye are making straightway for Hell!”
HOLY QURAN (Ibrahim 14:30)
I don’t think it could get any more direct.
who says the illuminati is white owned? if there nothing on this earth to be considered greater than white and black?
kanye about to brew the perfect storm for this album
BROHAMMANDAMM < the thing is u jump to conclusions…
1)the song power..is about someone having too much/abusing their power and trying to kill their ego…thats POSITIVE.
2)the video descriptions shows him as a king/god on a temple surrounded by dark things (women with devil horns etc) but it also has the Sword of Damocles above his head …WHICH represents the price of it all..hes showing that thier is a price to gaining things with no care for how u actually achieve them.
@sik
duh dumbass low freemasons like the ones in you family and the ones in mines are not into devil worshipping its the high level freemason dumbass the low level freemasons know nothing about what the ones at the top are doing fool
first of all nigga im not dumb n number two i knw what the leading masons do. im just stating tht these rappers arent fuckin mason or illuminati members. no one in the illuminati would reveal or speak on the shit like the rappers do.its a fucking joke. the ones that are huge ceo’s and own monstrous companies in the world and oil rigs are the illuminati members. the ones nobody see’s or really know much about.
@ BROHAMMNDAMM:
Did I not speak the truth though? Somebody was going to bring it up, and now it turned into a Free Mason forum in here, dudes posting Wikipedia facts in the comment section.
I don’t know if you were talking about me as far as for “denying the truth”. I do know one thing though: whether I see the Masionic symbolism or not, I’m not gonna consume my life into pointing every…single…sign…of…Masonry. Neither should anybody else. Why? The guys who see the conspiracies, the guys who quote facts that ties in with ancient history and the secret society, are the same guys who won’t take down the Illuminati. It’s just like these fake a$$ dead prez fans who are “activists for the Revolution”, but won’t bust a grape in a food fight. I mentioned the “waiting for Illuminati comments” because I know that’s how people who don’t like Kanye West scrutinize him. I ain’t going to say “haters”, just people who don’t like Kanye. Whether him, Jay, Rhianna, or whoever throw that occult sh** into their music, if you think they’re worshiping the devil, don’t listen to it. I know for a fact if I hear that sh**, I’m going to ignore it and NOT listen to that. In the meantime, this is music, this is art, and you can take it for what it is.
*Kanye Shrugs with popcorn in my right hand*
GOD LOVES YOU ALL AND ALL HE WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY TO BE ARE BELIEVERS IN JESUS. JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS PEOPLE AND HE IS COMING BACK FOR HIS PEOPLE. DON’T FALL FOR THE DEVIL. SATAN IS A LIAR. JESUS LOVES YOU PLEASE SEEK SALVATION NOW BEFORE IT IS TOOOOO LATE PEOPLE.
d.science once again speaks the truth
by the way the video will be up next week
Having Illuminati conspiracy theories made about you is the new status symbol.
Nothing says “you’ve made it” like unsubstantiated, falsely intellectual speculation.
Just ask Rick Ross.
To all Illuminati conspiracy theorists… Question your sources. Verify your sources.
People put so much weight behind poorly made, anonymous powerpoint slideshows on worldstarhiphop. Who makes the videos? Who makes the “books”? Who makes the websites? Do they have ANY credentials on interpreting ancient symbols?
If a drone strike occurs in Northwestern border of Pakistan. A media report from the left wing U.S. media will be different, from a right wing outlet, as they will both likely be different from a Pakistani outlet allied to the government, or one opposed to the government. Some media outlets will not even report the issue.
Sources. Question your sources. Verify your sources.
D. $cience co sign bra
We the lost symbol speaking cryptic codes, ancient wisdom, valuable like gifts of gold.
BAWSE!
@ BROHAMMNDAMM:
“i feel sorry for those who don’t see the problem in a man portraying himself being worshiped by devils/demons Rihanas lol. whatever u wanna call it…..lets see what they have to see in the here after.”
1) How do you know if the people commenting even believe in God in the first place?
2) It’s not a fact that God even does exist. Even though I believe in God it’s not factual that he does exist which is why I can understand why others don’t believe he/she/it does.
3) We have free will to do whatever we want, if that’s what they wish to do they have full right to do so. It doesn’t mean that anyone commenting here or people who listen to his music worship him.
4) Lmao @ Peter Piper.
gonna be premiered on…ellen…
why didnt yall trip on the saints who drew/wrote the gospels. because thats all hes trying to mimic. and those gospels were not satanic.
@ YaBoyRampz:
If Rick Ross is talking about it, there is no way it could be real.
amen@ truth…these idiots amaze me. come with some proof. o yea muthfukka u have none. stop accusing people of things you lack knowledge on watchin youtube videos and wikipedia bios u fucking retards. you dont know these people or there wereabouts. find a credible source. enjoy music.
Anyone who can’t see that this entertainment is full of sell outs is crazy. It’s written plain as day. There are too many reoccurrences for it all to be a coincidence. I’m not gonna call anyone stupid or say that I’m smarter than someone for not believing in something that i believe in. But I am saying to the people who are so quick to knock those of us who do believe that maybe you should look more into it before you take kanye and jay-z and lady gaga and all these other artists who don’t give a fuck about you…
