"I Got the Key": as Jay Z video<br />

implies. Shawn Corey Carter, better<br />

known as Jay-Z, is a 13 time<br />

Grammy winner and is regarded as<br />

one of the most successful men in<br />

music, as a rapper, record producer,<br />

club owner and all-around mogul,<br />

estimated net worth of $520 million.<br />

Hailed as the King of America by<br />

Rolling Stones magazine.<br />

<strong>In</strong> his video, Jay Z come from<br />

behind the guards and joined the<br />

rest of the brothers who was also<br />

wearing a suit..! Basically saying I<br />

got the keys. He did all of the illuminati<br />

puppetry to rise as a leader<br />

with influential powerful to get his<br />

people together not just racial brothers<br />

but slaves of 20<strong>16</strong> brothers. “But<br />

y'all saying he is a powerful puppet;<br />

But if he is why is he doing videos<br />

like that <strong>for</strong>. No illuminati hand<br />

signals No devil horns No cussing<br />

No triangle No money No<br />

Rockafella No dancers Just black<br />

men who was locked up by white<br />

guards who look like they have a 9<br />

to 5 job with a<br />

little authority <strong>In</strong>to<br />

black men with<br />

trillion dollar suits<br />

on and Jay-Z<br />

come from behind<br />

them walked pass<br />

them like those his<br />

guards then stood<br />

in front of them<br />

like "do we have a<br />

problem here?"<br />

And they were<br />

speechless... Like<br />

saying we are<br />

freeing the slaves.<br />

gives knowl-<br />

He gives<br />

knowledge and<br />

wisdom and in<br />

a language that<br />

can be just as<br />

understanding<br />

without the N<br />

word.<br />

edge and<br />

wisdom and in a language that can<br />

be just as understanding without the<br />

N word. Still your third eye will be<br />

opened. This clip is very powerful<br />

as things taking place here in America.<br />

The African American men<br />

most powerful and influential in the<br />

world; Barack Obama, Minister<br />

Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and<br />

now Jay Z. There<strong>for</strong>e they have the<br />

biggest responsibility to unify. The<br />

image of those men together is inspiring<br />

and brothers like the one<br />

giving true perspective about this<br />

video are the key to getting black<br />

men and the world in place. There is<br />

a Key where we can not only do<br />

away with drug companies, but we<br />

can stop the killing of our legends<br />

both women and men. If the Jay Zs,<br />

Obamas, Farrakhans and Jacksons<br />

of America can unify, we can inspire<br />

oppressed black and people<br />

around the world to come together<br />

and put a stop to this global genocide<br />

that is taking place. The system<br />

is working as it should, and it needs<br />

to be broken.<br />

The artist also co-owns the 40/40<br />

Club, an upscale sports bar that<br />

started in New York City and has<br />

since expanded to Atlantic City and<br />

<strong>Chicago</strong>. He is a part-owner of the<br />

New Jersey Nets NBA team paying<br />

a reported $4.5 million <strong>for</strong> his share.<br />

And, Jay-Z, along with his company<br />

SC Enterprises, has recently<br />

launched a new lifestyle site called<br />

Life and Times, making his <strong>for</strong>ay<br />

into content. <strong>In</strong> terms of earnings he<br />

still reigns over all other hip hop<br />

stars and made a cool $37 million in<br />

2011 in tours and other earnings. He<br />

also has a 10 year long $150 million<br />

deal with Live Nation<br />

records.<br />

Wow, it's <strong>2017</strong> and<br />

we still have slaves on<br />

the plantation refusing<br />

to leave and better<br />

themselves. Here is<br />

Jay-Z and other black<br />

men who have figured<br />

out away to pass on a<br />

valuable lesson that<br />

can change your family<br />

history <strong>for</strong>ever and<br />

all I see is FOOLISH<br />

AND IGNORANT<br />

comments about Jay-Z<br />

and others. Do your research on<br />

how black slaves used to communicate<br />

to each other during slavery.<br />

They sang and pass on valuable<br />

messages to the others through singing.<br />

Jay-Z said, TILL YOU OWN<br />

YOUR OWN,<br />

At the end of the day a lot of Rap<br />

is a distraction. If we weren't as<br />

distracted on certain things as people<br />

we would be more successful.<br />

Focus on god family and being<br />

successful anything else is uncivilized<br />

everything starts at home how<br />

you can fix another king or queens<br />

castle if u can't fix your own.<br />

“Many people love the fact that<br />

Jay-Beyonce are bringing conciseness<br />

into the game. Maybe other<br />

rappers will catch on and stop hating<br />

on each other. If rapping inspired<br />

Gangs, maybe conscious will<br />

bring us together. I’m very proud of<br />

him and his wife!!!”<br />

There are over 2.2 million Black men and women who are not able to vote<br />

because of a felony conviction; yet they have paid their debt to society.<br />

Jalil Johnson pointed out, “The<br />

bit about Jay can be looked at two<br />

ways. 1. Jay has done some good<br />

things in the community. As far as<br />

the Keys video. I already knew he<br />

was drawing these scenes from<br />

Malcolm X, look at the spike lee<br />

movie of Malcolm X. They did<br />

exactly the same on this video. This<br />

video and song could be looked at<br />

symbolically as the same. The narrator<br />

maybe hitting on the point of<br />

black unity as such in the 60's-70's.<br />

BUT there is also a flip side, he also<br />

could be uniting us all to go down a<br />

dark place too.”<br />

Beyonce I don’t agree with. Too<br />

many lines in Beyonce music indicating<br />

Satan too much. I mean the<br />

goat head jewelry and apparel. And<br />

also do not <strong>for</strong>get a musician is<br />

giving you music through the eyes<br />

of the artist and their thoughts. Just<br />

as the artist paints the picture.<br />

-Black people are letting ignorance<br />

and jealously destroy our<br />

culture. We are not taking the time<br />

to analyze and understand that white<br />

America, the government created<br />

systems <strong>for</strong> us to remain controlled<br />

which we<br />

allow this to<br />

happen without<br />

understanding<br />

our<br />

rights in the<br />

amendment<br />

and the constitution.<br />

If<br />

we take the time to learn this and<br />

analyze our place in society, then<br />

our culture could rise to an advantage<br />

unlike anything known to man.<br />

Scirby Scott, “I agree 100%. A<br />

major shift in control of the music<br />

(ownership and distribution) is a<br />

major key to "freedom." When we<br />

are in control then we can put a<br />

more conscious persuasion on the<br />

screen and over the air waves.<br />

Every hip hop group that pushed<br />

awareness and Black strength/pride<br />

had a quick and swift demise<br />

(especially X Klan) "To the East<br />

Blackwards..."<br />

Jay Z made sure that he gives<br />

people reasons to remember him<br />

other than his rapping. During his<br />

break from active rapping he used<br />

time to raise awareness to find better<br />

ways <strong>for</strong> combating shortage of<br />

water. For the same he met with<br />

United Nations Secretary General<br />

Kofi Annan at the organization's<br />

headquarters in New York City.<br />

Further, he also promised to use his<br />

upcoming world tour to raise awareness<br />

of and combat global water<br />

shortage. The ef<strong>for</strong>t took place in<br />

partnership with the UN, as well as<br />

MTV, which produced a documentary<br />

entitled Diary of Jay-Z: Water<br />

<strong>for</strong> Life, first airing in <strong>November</strong><br />

2006. He also pledged $1 million<br />

along with Sean "Diddy" Combs, to<br />

the American Red Cross' relief ef<strong>for</strong>t<br />

after Hurricane Katrina. .<br />
