1.Rakim
2.2pac
3.Notorious BIG
4.Ice Cube
5.Jay-z
HM: NaS
who cares
^^^^^^^^
real clown
Cool Cover yea throw up the “Roc” But we know the deal
Jay z….if y’all have ever seen the movie “They Live” when dude puts on those shades and shit looks different that’s how the world really is !
@93 Jay don’t deserve to be in no one’s top nuthin
@U Clown Ass yea that’s a real nice response (sarcasm)
Damn jay can’t give Kanye his own release date? Hatin old ass man.
Will go nicely in the collection
cant wait to read what those illuminati crackheads have to say about this lol
@Mz. Drizzy so you don’t believe in the illuminati? Well with a name like “Mz. Drizzy” why would you.
If you believe in the illuminati you’re a moron. If you believe Jay-Z is illuminati then you’re fucking retarded. That is all.
Jay souled his soul. This dude’s got y’all hypnotized, too many connections could be made to him and the NWO, not every thing is coincidence in life.
Research, form your opinion, THEN get @ me.
Besides dudes flow fell off a long time ago.
^^sorry but
Killuminati!!!
wth is illumaniti?
To reject the possibility of the Illuminati is ignorant. You don’t have to believe it, but at least be open to the idea.
Government is corrupt.
As for the Hits Collection Vol. 1, its sort of pointless to buy as fan of Jay-Z’ music considering I have like most of his album except the ones in between In My Lifetime and Blueprint.
I would probably buy the book, if possibly separate. I guess there will be a volumes two and three with it (knowing how Jay-Z likes his albums in trilogies).
Adam Weishaupt started the illuminati 1776 how is that so shocking ??
This shit is real the level of brainwashing is Intense niggas
Wanna think the world is all roses and it’s not no entertainer is in it they r just puppets and this is like 0.5% of the shit it’s way deeper go read a William cooper, Alan watt ,Jordan Maxwell book b4 u say what’s real or not
Iam not one of these wack jobs I will Gladly email u pic of me all My 3.5 Gpa @ UT-Arlington
lol, I’d argue that to embrace the idea of illuminati being real whatsoever is ignorant. But to each their own I guess…
SOME OF YALL NEED SOME PUSSY AND MONEY IN UR LIFE CAUSE TO MUCH TIME IS KILLING UR LIFE
@Dick B.
ur a dick
1. There is a such thing as the Illuminati. They aren’t really hiding their existence, just who’s in it.
2. Freemasons do exist, and lots of people are Masons. What they talk about what degree they are etc, you have to inquire. Doubt you’ll find out much.
3. Why would anyone purchase his “hits collection” when they can download all the shit for free, and hear it played on the radio and every club 92x an hour as it has been since 1999?
Bye.
I just want the book.I don’t believe in the Illuminati but who gives a shit is Jay-Z is in it?Jay-Z is an entertainer!What effect does it have on you if he’s in “The Illuminati”?
well IMO he ain’t top 5……but he definitely ain’t a clown stfu man… hatin for the sake of hatin
is there a tracklist??
Lmfao people that believe in the illuminati are fucking idiots. If you guys were actually SMART you’d know that it doesnt even exist anymore… read some real books on it. ya idiots. And 2nd, Jay-z is swimming in cash…what makes you think he gives a fuck about you haters? lmao
@fred this nigga just asked what illuminati is haha shut up bitch
the illuminati is real and has been for centuries, eversince the enilghtenment movement in europe during the 1700s (illuminati means “the enlightened ones”)
they have influence on government and have ties in the banking system yet i doubt HOV has any affiliation with them
dope artwork/cd case
Any true JAY-Z fan would not buy this cause they already got all the mans reords already so this collection is pointless and he won’t make any money off of it
jay z would be somewhere in like the 15-20 range for my “best rappers” list…
Some sort of Illuminati existing? Yes. Some extra unneeded hype over who is part of the illuminati. FUCKING EXCESSIVE. Thats why the preachers of it fail. FAIL SO FUCKING MISERABLY. Because all they do IS DEVOTE THEIR LIVES to who is in the fucking illuminati and to by which date we are all supposed to die, yada yada yada.
Here’s a typical rant:
Oh, Rick James was in the illuminati. Oh yeah, Ronald Mc Donald too… If you don’t believe me, then why is Mc Donalds the biggest corporation? Ronald Mc Donald was actually created by Jay Z, who went back in time with his Rocafella money to create a clown called Ronald McDonald. Look it up on Google, but your government may have it restricted.
i was a rocafella head but that diamond just doesnt mean the same to me anymore. not on some illuminati typeshit but where is his team at??
1. Lmao @ eazy GTFHO That “They Don’t Exist Anymore” shit is complete nonsense
2. jay is a top 15 rapper he’s not that good IMO
i dont buy into the illuminati. i mean what would the illuminati be doing running the world in secret. like what would these illuminati be controlling what the fuck do people seem to think they control on our lives.
illuminati, free mason, reptillian alliens, either way it is stupid to think that their is a group of people out there controlling the world like puppets, are just an excuse that people seem to use to justify their own misunderstanding of the uncertainty in the world.
why would jayz be in the illuminati. just cuz a dude is really successful, dont mean he is illuminati.
jayz being in the illuminati, is the modern day conspiracy of how John Lennon and the Beatles made a pact with Satan to corrupt the souls of the youth with their rock and roll with “mysterious” subliminal devil messages
just saying its weird how some people always seem to think that every thing is a global conspiracy
lol did this guy say he would email people a copy of his 3.5 gpa from ut arlington as some sort of proof that illuminati is real??? ahahahhahahahaa.
The illuminati were prevalent in like the 1700′s, to suggest they have any influence over our current society is foolish at best, sorry. Conspiracy theorists humor me though, so please, keep the comments coming!
when did all the Illuminati bs start about Jay-Z on here? Since the ross track? idk, this is not worth a purchase i will just wait for the scans to hit the net.
i just dont get what the illuminati or control or force people to do that make me think that I should either (A) believe they exist or (B) give a fuck.
basically im getting from the comments on here that the illuminati control the media and wallstreet. so basically the fuckery that fox news puts out and the stockmarket is supposedly run by hov. makes no sense.
btw, maybe some of you “believers” might consider that jay-z is putting up an act by making it seem to you that he is “in the illuminati” but really it is just pretend…. like the whole organization…
Let’s not be stupid and act like the illuminati isn’t real and not shapeing the world for a 1 world
Goverment
they need to block all chat on Jay-Z post because it always becomes this big history of the illuminati/ accusation discussion so im turning this into a game every time i see illuminati in a Jay-Z post im smoking taking two hits of this super silver.
p.s. super silver is that killa
“to suggest they have any influence over our current society is foolish at best”
Fail Tell me why don’t they then ?
What about Jay-Z’s verse on Free Mason??????????????????
Jay-Z, one of the more wealthy men in hip-hop and the cover looks cheap. This is perfect for the Costco crowd.”Honey, does Benny like Jais. This is Jais right here, cover has Mardi Gras glasses on it. I hope it’s not gang related.
differentassnigga I respect ur opinion but that was a stupid comment ur just trying to troll
Clearly
LOOK no 1 knows 100% bout the illuminati (jay z aint in it he just wants publicity, he didnt need to join he was doin a pretty good job puttin out negativity with the drug raps n all that since 96)
but governemnt lie all the time ur president lied to go to iraq they scammed black ppl for 500+ years as slaves then second class citizens, and u guys only had legal racial equality since 1975 what makes you think ur governement is not corrupt????? lol ur only 1 generation away from when black people cudnt drink at the same fountain as a white man. so for sure theres corruption there..
@Spitta_Stan “Fail Tell me why don’t they then ?’ “Fail tell me” that is not english. your trying to sound intelligent by saying what you think is the the right way to speak. I don’t know the hell you mean.
there is no illuminatii, its the dumbest conspiracy since the idea that they faked the moon landing. lmao
as advice @spitta_stan get a job or a girl so you dont spend all your time in your fantasy world where we live in the Matrix
ALSO jay z ..ILLUMNATI OR NOT…
some 1 please tell me what difference it makes,
its not like jay was droppin knowledge on us, or spittin about minority/social empowerment or education or politics,
he rapped about sellin kilos of coke
so wat difference wud it make if he wasnt in the illuminati anyway????????
waitaminute <ironically you too had many spelling mistakes lmao.
‘Any true JAY-Z fan would not buy this cause they already got all the mans records’
I suppose the people buying The Beatles anthologies are fake fans too?
Sometimes it’s just cool to have the physical copy, or if you don’t have an AUX hook-up in your car you need the CD.
Sometimes it’s just interesting to see what an artist thinks their greatest hits are.
Maybe you want to support the artist (even though he’s a millionaire)
The CD case even looks like something you could put on a desk as a conversation piece.
I’ll probably be buying this for my friend’s birthday he’s a huge Jay fan.
@london american slavery did not last more than 500 years. in fact it ended like in 1864 and did not begin in the year 1264. there was no colonies or america. wtf u talking about.
what interesting about the november 22nd date SHAKE???
Bet we will get a kanye date change. Jay could pick any date but 22nd Jesus Christ – what’s up with that
@Wait a minute lol your an idiot go read “behold a pale horse” by William Cooper
Instead of flexing online on how u know what’s real what books have u read on this subject ?? & I go to school u lame
Okay niggas you got them figured out. A secret societ that plans on taking over the world and worships the devil has Jay-Z send out subliminals signs to promote them like its a damn album. If they were so secret then rappers wouldnt be throwin out “signs” like a trend. And if so then were saved due to all of your knowledge. Bloggers will save us from the devil lmfao
i go to school, lol uz a dumbass
Just thought I was misunderstood by my comment early, so I will clarify. I don’t believe that the Illuminati (and I’m talking about NWO type stuff, not 1776 type stuff) exists, but I also don’t reject the idea of it being real. It is a possibilty.
Again, the government is corrupt. Knowledge is power.
“hi i’m spitta_stan, i go to school and have read a book one time by a guy who said:
“There has been a plan in effect since at least 1917 to create, create, an artificial Extraterrestrial threat to the planet Earth, so as to bring about a one-world, Luciferian Totalitarian socialist government. This Extraterrestrial propaganda has been promoted through movies, through books, in the newspapers; so as to create the idea in the public mind that this phenomena related to Extraterrestrials is real and that the threat is real.”
now that is a retard. im sorry @spitta_stan William cooper is a crazy nut case, no different than David Icke who believes that “5 to 12-foot (1.5 – 3.7 m) tall, blood-drinking, shape-shifting reptilian humanoids from the Alpha Draconis star system, now hiding in underground bases in Hollow Earth, are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at humanity. He claims that the reptilians maintain their control through the generation of fear and negative emotion, which is food to these entities, by manufacturing conflicts, primarily wars.[citation needed] He contends that most of the world’s leaders are in fact related to these reptilians”
just basic fucking retard. read a real history book before you real the bullshit ones
LOL @ waitaminute. On point.
Hi this is jigga. Yes I am in the illuminati. And we are going to kill all of you and eat your children. that is all. get off my nuts
*My jiggerific laugh/ heaheaheahea /end jiggerific laugh*
Lol ^ Waitaminute it’s called “predictive Programing”
Mr Cooper is right and that’s why they killed him don’t take a comment by dude and think u know it all & David icke is a DISINFO agent putting out BS so cats like use it to dis credit I don’t really like arguing on the
lol @ all the mindless sheep that fall for this bullshit n will actually buy this…..i pity yall crumbs
for everybody bitchin about the release date he didnt plan this….Def Jam is releasing it
illuminati, Bohemian Grove, The Order, whatever “They” go by, “They ” are out there running things, its waaaaaaaay too deep to get into in a c-section like this. just youtube whatever you wanna know. If you don’t wanna believe it or in it, Kudos to you. Thats why Ignorance is Bliss……i guess
**This subject bcuz i already know its real if i felt like it i could convince u but i dont have it in me today just keep living in this made up world u really don’t know u think u do but u Clearly don’t Iam not one if these “reptile believing” hacks
FTR JayZ’s greatest hits would take up Side A of an 90 minute cassette tape, IMO. Matter of Fact, His Albums have been wack since they came out on tape!
^^So hes better than your favorite rapper. FYI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just out of curiosity i’d like to see the 15 rappers you put ahead of Jay. That’s just nonsense to me
Jay-Z a whack ass MC now “Wayne, sellout. Jay, sellout, Luda, sellout. Drake, jus get out!”
you have a right to feel that way, now get off my dick.
lol its at 66 comments *Cue spooky music*
I’ll probably cop it at some point.
Children of The Man Jesus, I have a story to tell you:
Last night as I slept in my bed, a angel visited me in my dream. This angel came to me came to me on a chariot of clouds. This angel was Prodigy. He told me that we must join together in arms and pick up the fight against the dark forces that surround us!!! We must protest against the word of the man formerly known as S. Carter. This man parades around as an agent of God, even going as far to call himself Jay Hova!!! His cronies claim to spread art, but instead brain wash the youth with their use of Occult symbolism!!!
Be vigilant citizens!!! The Eye Sees All!!! We must fight against the dark forces that surround us!!!
The negative entities (illuminati, aka the enlighten ones,aka The levi aka the service to self) on this planet have been raising their negative vibrations since the existence of man kind for thousands of yrs…look within if you want to experience the truth!! Thats why they use the illusions outside of yourself(media,music,religion,belief systems,movies,news,history) to entrap you and distract you from your path to enlightenment to keep you from knowing true love or experiencing what you would call the one infinite creator which in fact is part of you and me, we are all one …this is all a game we are playing and more ppl are waking up to the truth..this reality you are experiencing is a game of choice service to others or service to self … take this life like a training school for your mind body spirit complexes. when you serve an other mind body spirit entity(human) in a positive and loving way you serve all for aren’t we all one?. when you treat someone in a negative way to serve your self you are treating all , for aren’t we all one? Time is running out make the choice, the window closes in approximately 2 yrs and a couple of mths!! If you want to know more look within..also a great book for those who want to go deeper than the rabbit hole google The Law of one pdf files…and read theses books there are 5 parts to it….I leave you in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator. Go forth rejoicing in the power and the peace of the one Creator.
Adonai.
^Yeah hopefully I can remember this thread and post on it in 2 years to let you know that you’re a fool.
anyone who believes jz is illuminati is stupid. he continuously plays you dumbshats by dropping stupid music videos, songs, and cover arts that promote his false involvement just to keep people talking about him. bp3 was bad. only good thing i heard from jay lately is verses on kanye ish.
im in the illuminati, jay never comes to the meetings….
THE BIGGEST TRICK THE DEVIL PULLED WAS TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE HE DIDN’T EXIST. THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
This looks so dope. Can’t wait till it’s in my mailbox!
jay got married man blame Beyonce for his shit fallin’ off. that reasonable doubt was the shit. then vol. 1 kicked in some doors toward the mainstream. then vol. 2 sellout was imminent. vol. 3 bumped but just solidified the sellout with MC, and Juve etc, etc…., The Dynasty was ok but that Amil bitch is/was trash, Beans & Freeway killed their verses and basically made that album, Blueprint was dope………………then something fucked up happened…………….Jigga/Hova/Mr. Carter/Biggie dick rider/Mr. Couldn’t beat Nas so he fucked around and got him on def jam so the man could keep fucking good ol’ Nasir around…..just stopped making good music……blueprint 2 was terrible, black album had a few bangers but was still a sellout album, I personally blame Beyonce for Kingdom Come (WTF was hov thinking?), American Gangster=Garbage(besides that the dude that the movie was about was a fuckin’ snitch..wonder if Big Meech ratted on anyone? Prolly not dude still has a bank full of money hidden somewhere guaranteed), BP3 was terrible also, and don’t even start on that weak ass shit dude did with R. Kelly the first one was bad enough and these dumb fucks went for a second serving? That was smart…..collision course was a fucking wreck….and the new one with Kanye? well that dudes just using Ye to make himself relevant again. Ye kills Jigga these days….and illuminati not fuckin’ likely remember all the founding fathers owned slaves and were about as racist as the kkk on their worst days. Not a fuckin’ chance in hell they let an ex-crack dealer into their exclusive club unless they wanted to make all the young whites/blacks/hispanics/asians and whatever the I forgot about all into some stupid ass bling bullshit that makes everyone kill each other and act like fuckin’ clowns. ya that’s how to make a country succeed……..wait now that I think about it…..maybe that is what they want make everyone want the bling which by glorifying shit that women should wear(jewelry) and drug dealing explain how it gets you money…..then every ethnic youth will try and lead that type of life in the process ruin all the future anybody has by making a bunch of drug addict gun toting babies that go hand in hand with making this country miserable…..yea who in the fuck would want that…………..shut the fuck up with that illuminati bullshit……
drops on my birthday, but i doubt i cop it
amazing comments here
“just youtube whatever you wanna know”
ahh youtube. the source of all infinite knowledge not contained in wikipedia.
there are crazy people on the internet
Illuminati son of a bitch
dont own a Hov album so i MIGHT cop it….$$$$
yall sayin illuminati ain’t real is dumb and in denial cus who u look up to is a part of it…this couldn’t be any more illuminati…why u think he said “(interesting date eh?)” cus november 22nd is also seen as 11+22=33 which is the highest degree a free mason can get to…if u don’t believe in illuminati then u don’t believe in god…point blank period…read revelations, it speaks about all the shit ur saying is fake
Of course you have to believe in the Judeo Christian God to believe in the Illuminati. Only White Jesus with a pink sweater can save your soul from the evils of the Illuminati.
Yall ever wonder what 1.3 billion Chinese and 1 billion Indian people are paranoid about? Cuz it aint the Illuminati or the devil with red horns and a cape coming in 2012 to create a one world government.
The world is so much bigger than yall are making it seem. To believe any of this crap you have already been broken down by Western Civ, so why are you just now getting hip to it? Cuz a rapper you don’t like made some money? That shit is pathetic.
Is it released by def jam ? Because if so i don’t think that jay is really makin money this cd just like last year when they tried to fuck him up by releasin the blueprint collection almost simultaneously with his blueprint 3.
And also i hate when ignorant people try to educate you by talkin about how the illuminatis exist but they are so dumb that they think illuminatis and free masons are the same. At least get your facts rights, illuminatis and free masons are two different things.
What a bunch of internet haters. you just helping this nigga out. i’m glad jay dropping this. I mean does it really matter that a “greatest hits” cd is dropping the same day as kanye’s new lp? it’s not gonna overshadow it. Quit your bloodclot cryin’ you soft dry pussies.
RESEARCH w/ an open mind.
Jay is just a puppet not a puppet master. Some of you are so smart but yet so dumb.
Even if evidence of the Jay-Z/NWO idea were discredited, that still doesn’t discount any other possibility.
This is just Volume 1. I’m sure all you queefs claiming that he looks like a camel/ is illuminati/ a big biter/ a sellout/ a wack mc/ etc etc., have probably rocked half of these Volume one hits at one point or another. So quit your crying, stop your hating, cut off your internet connection, get out of that chair and go do something yourself you bums! ugh(rick ross voice)
If you people knew anything about history but you don’t
To busy being lazy and never doing any research for yourself
To open ur mind and always rejecting something when u don’t
Do your own research lmao
Because if u people don’t believe all you have to do is
Read the french revolution and the illuminati is right there
and there from germany but then again the french revolution
Is all conspiracys and doesn’t exist in ur brain wash mind
Lmao.
And jayz isn’t in the illuminati he’s a puppet
And for the ppl saying why would they use him for there agenda
Is like being in denile of all the bad chemicals in our foods
Water etc saying those chemicals won’t effect ur health when science
Proven it does and saying why would they kill us
Wake the fuck up u clowns!!!
think for ur self not leting ur dumbass mind denying everything
And being a fucking sheep
Either you believe it or not, sooner or later things will become evident and you’ll finally realize things aren’t so simple and that you have been FOOLED into thinking your free.
In the words of Nas: (probably one of you skepticists favorite artists) “I think it’s been recent that everybody felt, there’s an ELITE group, that RUNS EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY else was SHEEP. IGNORANT, MAKING ALL ETHNICITY’S, COLORS & CREEDS
NIGGAS. BLIND TO WHAT’S REALLY GOIN ON……
So I say take the wool off of your eyes, OUT W/ THE OLD AMERICA, IN W/ THE NEW! END ALL RACISM, ALL INJUSTICE, ALL OPPRESION TO POOR PEOPLE, ANY PEOPLE, ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET.
LETS COME TOGETHER, A NEW DAY IS RISING…”
^ Nas – “Were Not Alone” off the Nigger album.
u gotta be kidding me with this shit
hov is just a smart marketing man and some people want a further explanation for that so they tie him to some sort of crazy speculations
“check my 3.5 gpa @ UT-Arlington” <–u fuckin kidding me?? i go to yale, thats a fuckin preschool u attend skank
Killuminati all day.
@CaliGrown I think that verse is more about economic slavery, so honestly u could say that verse applies to more than the illuminati (which I believe exists)… however, the degree of control these YOUTUBE PURITANS say the illuminati has is farfetched… if Jay-z has so much power why is he not the richest man alive? I mean if I were the anti-christ I wouldn’t settle for a few hundred million if I could have Bill Gates money?!!! #imjustsayin… anyway this collection is dope, but I’m more interested in the Decoded book!
J-Hov is The King ,
@TheACMario
All yalll cats keep hatin on Hov, He keeps getting more money. Nigga stop talking about reasonable doubt, that shit was 14 years ago! Rap has evolved and so has Jay-z music, thats why he’s still one of the top artist in the game. And to all you conspiracy theories, get an education n stfu lol. Yall are lame. Focus on real shit, not sum bs that yall niggaz will never know about. Oh yeah n Jay is the best rapper of all time. Hands dwn #imjustsaying
i read only up to 20 comments and i can say that for one of the top hip-hop blogs on the web… a lot of you folks are really uneducated on a lot of real things. stop surfing the web and read some real books and stop being sheep following disinformation. i can understand why people consider hip-hop heads as ignorant and naive.
What makes you people think you know my education level, you have no idea who I am, what I do, how I think.
just as vad
PLEASE JUST RESEARCH. Uninformed arguments are just as bad as lies, blind leading the blind.
