Hip Hop and the illuminati conspiracy.

There's a lot that can be said about the music industry as it stands today. Some of it positive and some - well negative. We also need to bear in mind it also depends on our perspective as music fans. Are we looking for positive attributes or negative ones? That being said, there's been a lot of conspiracy talk surrounding the industry. Very interesting how the regular fans' impression on music - is now tied into the view of various conspiracy groups who claim, to uncover the perceived rotten underbelly of this industry. We are not conspiracy theorists so we can only guess as to what these groups wish to achieve. Maybe it's the very same goals some of these artists who are involved wish to gain too? Money, fame etc? If you dig around, the prevalent theme seems to be the connection with the so called Illuminati. Very funny but interesting facts have been pointed out by conspiracy theorists regarding this, that they claim are genuine. They use religion and other fanciful methods to do this. No hard facts except their own opinions and analysis. Can you spell bias? When approached with a sane and logical mind - the whole thing becomes downright laughable, to say the least. Hip hop it seems - is taking the brunt of this mambo jumbo. A few artists linked to this so called - Illuminati conspiracy - figure prominently. Mainly Jay Z - successful entrepreneur and founder of the Rocafella music label. The list of other artists and labels involved/affected, is a sizable one - (Bad Boy, Cash Money, Eminem etc) and can't be dismissed. Other genre's within music (eg R'nB) -are not exempt either. We will focus here on hip hop. At the end of the day, these theories (which are denied and at time's perpetuated by the artists themselves), make financial sense for the artists, who are laughing all the way to the bank. This is all based on the hype, generated by these ideas. Jay Z's use of the so called "all seeing eye" and some of the lyrics he and other artists spit on tracks, is generating more interest in their music. It's keeping them relevant in the industry - whether negative or positive. Artists like Drake Lil' Wayne and Eminem add fuel to the issue, intentionally or not - same result: Money. Clearly you can see, who mainly benefit's from this - the industry, record labels - and the artists themselves. The industry is now overflowing with new artists and acts. Artists are struggling to remain relevant, in an industry where they can be overshadowed by the next big MC or DJ. As for conspiracy theorists and fans - they need to realize that all they are doing, is adding fuel to this vicious cycle themselves. Stop writing and pointing fingers at this ridiculous phenomena that the music industry has created to generate more sales. If this happens, you'll see just how fast artists drop the whole - scam - and move on with their creativity. Artists will clearly see they can't enthrall audiences with implied - Illuminati (if the group even exists at all) ties, and will need to be genuinely creative to keep on top of the game. Many music lovers are well aware of how stagnant hip hop in particular has become. Artists now rap about 3 main things - Money, women and fame. This has always been true from the jump - except now that everyone is doing it - certain rappers (a damn shame) need something else, to get an edge over the next lyricist that walks into a recording studio. Enter the Illuminati theories! And you wonder why people say hip hop is dead. Its not dead - just stuck in a spot where it will never move on unless fans realize this about what's happnin' and move on from these ridiculous ideas. Don't forget that the conspiracy theorists themselves, benefit from the whole issue - with all the hits they get discussing this crap. You want hip hop - and our artists to move on? Ignore the whole issue - or better yet support and listen to artists that are relevant, based on their message. Artists that have never jumped on this stupid bandwagon. Tupac Shakur (RIP) ~ "That's why I'm putting the K to it, because I'm killing that illuminati shit, that's just another way to keep us down. They are always talking about the eyes and a face on the dollar bill. I don't care who's eyes are on the money, as long as people accept that money when I try to buy something." Let Hip Hop, keep moving us and evolving. Not stagnating!
