Moving on… has anybody else come across the rumor that Jay-Z is a Freemason?
I heard this yesterday I think, and haven’t found much supporting mention of it online. Nor do I currently have the motive to go through any of his work to really look for the Hidden Apron.
On that note, is anybody here a Freemason? Don’t worry, I don’t think they’re devil-worshippers. Or rather, if they are, I don’t give a shit.

Somebody sent me these two links:
Masonic references in the hip hop and rap community
Jay-Z “Lucifer” lyrics
32nd degree Scotish Rite. No longer active.
Jay-Hova is definitely not a Mason. Though he is so rich, now, that he is certainly in the outer inner circle. And, no, I’m not a Mason, and don’t know any. My father is Rotary. Seems harmless, if boring as sin.
Interesting. These here lyrics always stood out to me in the song Tear Shit Up by the incredibly aggressive and always revolutionary hip hop artist Paris or P-dog (who’s site guerrillafunk.com is down for “for a major overhaul”). If you haven’t heard the album, Sonic Jihad, then you don’t know about what an amazing work of super-illuminati conspiracy mongering it is. But in a good way. There used to be public files laying around the ‘net of another unbelievably revolutionary song (especially for the time - 2003), on the disc called What would you do?. But unfortunately all I can scare up is this iffy page with a realmedia link.
But as I was saying, in that song Tear Shit Up (full lyrics to be found here), there is included this bit by another rapper (whose name I can’t recall):
I’d never heard of Jay-Z before when I first heard the disc. I definitely don’t know no Fred. Which by the way, who is this “Fred”, who apparently died, and from the feel of these lyrics one can infer, passed on to inhabit(?) Jay-Z on that day, which apparently is now known as “NRD - National Revolutionary Day”?
I’d never thought much of it. But now that you bring the name Jay-Z up. . .
Fred is Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party, who was assassinated by the FBI. I believe that would have been about 1969, so that’s my best guess.
I’m a freemason. Third degree, and that’s as high as it goes. The other degrees are called “appendant”, and were started later.
“Born In Blood”, by John J. Robinson, has an interesting take on where the freemasons came from, relating to the templars and the fact that England didn’t have roving bands of cathedral builders. I suggest it for the historically/conspiracy minded. It’s not a bad read.
Fuck the Jay-Z rumors– what about Bone Thugs N’ Harmony? There is something about their CD artwork that screams Skull & Bones. Yes, I know, lots of rap and heavy metal artists use skulls & bones… but there is something about the Bone Thugs artwork that stands out from the rest. 33rd degree angles, cryptic pseudo-Masonic alphabet lettering…Add to the fact that Eazy-E (the man who discovered BTNH) met President Bush, then died of AIDS shortly afterward, and you’ve got my paranoia radar in overdive.
Jay-Z strikes me as the kind of guy who would LIKE people to think he’s a Mason… the ROC pyramid symbol he does with his hands is a prime example.
One last morsel: one of Linkin Park’s members (the DJ, I believe) learned the Masonic alphabet and has featured it in DVDs and videos for the band.
