  • I knew when i clicked this video i was gonna get some laughs outta pple arguing over illuminati

  • lol, whoops wrong video...

  • D'evils as number 20? I disagree with that. I think D'evils should at least be in the top 10. Top 5 even.

  • @BrownsvilleCrook Of course classic rhymes but I mean c'mon Jay said so much in this album I still go back and listen and finally realize what he said after like 5 years hearing it. To me thats creative when you can flip your shit like that.

  • 2012 still bumpin the classics.

  • illuminati ..secret society tryin to keep an eye on me.....killuminati 

  • this song is definitely one of the best ever, for real..

  • for the love of money I'm giving lead showers.

  • @BrownsvilleCrook Lol They both got lyrics but one thing I can say Nasty doesn't have is the Jay can put those lyrics in a flow you ain't never heard. Nobody was flowing like this and still isn't.

  • @PrestigeTeamLege9210 Nas never put lyrics in a flow you never hear before? Have you ever heard of something called Illmatic?

  • ..we need to talk about illuminati. they do bad things, so they must be exposed

  • Why cant anybody just enjoy the music and not talk about illuminati i mean if its so secret why does everyone know about it

  • @Jcolefan658 Lacking of a lot basic understanding first of all this man's talking about societies that are not transparent and undercover with their agenda's therefor we need to learn about these because boy you must be gullible or just to young but yo on a level son power is an aphrodisiac.

  • @Jcolefan658 Exactly.

  • D'evils = Devils.. ILLUMINATI !!!!!!11!!!!!!

  • yup poppin

  • Pure evil!

  • Granted 9-5 is how ya survive, I ain't trying to survive - I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot.

  • @Rnkiddo love it alive

  • one of the only jay-z tracks i actually like.. dunno why, guess i got a wierd taste of rap :)

  • @joneslikerap Nothing weird about like this song man, its genius!

  • I think I just wore out the replay button...what happened to music that speaks and can paint a picture... ???

  • even if Jehovah witness bet he'll never testify. that shit went hard the whole song is just genius

  • starting at 1:32 is j reflecting on the relationship between him aliyah and dame back in high school? because she finally ended up with dame before she died but was always back in forth between them.

  • Illuminati is a secret society if everybody knows about it, is it still a secret?

    common sense people!!!!!

  • @i300georges Nobody knows who the Illuminati really are. The reason? Illuminati doesn't exist.

  • @Zero14811111 facts are backed by evidence mate... there's only evidence to prove there IS some kind of shadow society controlling modern day politics and global corporations as a pose to not. History PROVES that money and power is the route to all evil and greed what always takes over! do some research and you will see how easily a new world order is obtainable, modern day slavery. This is not a hate comment, im simply trying to wake you up for the love of the human race. HipHopShowRoom<3

  • I feel like this is an apology. At this time there was a definite change in music because of something. Whatever you want to call it (Illuminati, Freemasons, whatever), a lot of people were getting paid to have more influence on lyrical ability. Jay-Z knew that he would have to give in eventually or die, so this is like a "famous last words" before he joined.

  • One of the realest songs ever man.... those who know will know. "Closest of friends wen we first started, but grew apart as the money grew and soon grew black hearted"!

  • came here from listening to illmatic no denying that jay and nas are two of the best in the game

  • How the fuck this got 219 dislikes? , Ya little niggas man.

  • gotta buy this shit lol,

  • people really need to stop thinking there deep talking about illuminati, when all your really talking about is capitalism. if there was a real secret society and not just there folk tales your dumb enough to believe in do you really think youd know about them?

  • @iamcommonasmuck exactly this

  • @iamcommonasmuck EXACTLY, ffs people are more concerned with huge rappers that have worked their way up than companies like goldman sachs, and the bankers that have fucked over the economy... maybe that's the real illuminati, getting people sidetracked and distracted from the real issues.

  • @mrmillion94 what your describing is corporate media, that why papers are so full of celeb bullshit (so that people dont notice real dilemmas), its not secret societies instead there right there in your face. there are no secret societies just companies and government allignments. i mean even illuminati is just another thing for you to think about instead of banks, and ven if there was its hardly gonna be full of people everyone knows much as jay z etc. it would be nameless/faceless men.

  • @iamcommonasmuck my point exactly bro. We need more people like you and I that have our eyes open, unfortunately a lot of people are drawn and indulged into this celeb culture, I'm only 17 and glad I see right through it at a young age unlike a lot of people my age. I'm dreading how it may be in the future, people cant be asked with real books that have real information anymore, figuratively and literally (now there's ipads etc lol)

  • @mrmillion94 i dunno man im all for technology aye fair does it keeps celeb fanatics happy but it also allows for more savvy people in need of proper information i mean theres plenty sociology reports on the net that are great for reading. i must admit i may only be in my 20s but i have lost a lot of faith in younger people so good to see that there are some who dont follow trends. i work part time in a coffee shop and all the teens that come in come in cos now coffee is fashionable.

  • @iamcommonasmuck I agree, and don't get me wrong, I aint against technology either, we need it to advance. My only point is it makes people a tiny bit lazy, and with my generation its even worse with people spending most of their time on social media. That and just like it's making cd's out of date, (which I don't mind)... I just wouldn't want the same to happen to real books lol, doubt anyone would focus if there's a twitter icon below their book.

  • thamz way up ya saw the britney spears porno they got at bit.ly\zTM2K4

  • @melaniamv wadawda

  • ever notices only the broke people complain about the illuminati?

  • @3rdeyez777 alot of rich people 'complain' about the illuminati. you must be new to this

  • @styllcantfeelmyface no im not new iv been know about this shit way before youtube was even out, and i never heard a rich person complain about it, just broke people.

  • And even if jehova witnessed, bet he'll never testify.

  • @opoku003 that's secretly one of the most creative lines ever made

  • WHY R SO MANY BROKE PEOPLE TALKIN ABOUT THAT ILLUMINATI SHIT, IT DOESN'T APPLY TO REGULAR SLAVES THAT WORK 9-5JOBS!! DUMMIES....

  • @junglekiDD55 It's all about slaves working 9 to 5's. It all about the Free Masonry, and the Bankers. Learn your shit.

  • @d0zi7 DUDE.. I DONT NEED 2 LEARN SHIT... I GOT A BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND TWO GREAT KIDS!!! U THINK I GIVE A FUCK ABOUT SOME ILLUMINATI SHIT... LMAO!

  • @junglekiDD55 then u blind not to care

  • @d0zi7 you said learn your shit but you gave a really shit overview

  • that "dear god, i wonder can you save me" part's from snoop dogg's murder was the case right?

  • @Khukeii Yup, that's right.

  • fam this song is bout gettin it in and ur friends turning snaky and the feds trying to fuck u.. lile biggie said mo money more problems

  • Wow omg check out these pics that just leaked of jays lil girl wow shes shes so cute! a must c type young lo keep rollen in ur search bar wow

  • "Kept feeding her money 'till shit started to make sense / cents"

    

  • @emceeSini loll what a coincedence,i read your comment at the same time he rapped it lool

  • There is not a day where I do not listen to this song. In Jay's words talking about D'evils "It's one of my favorite songs ever, if not my favorite".

  • mmmmhmhmhmhmhmm m:) 33

  • These conspiracy theorists act as if they know something everyone else doesn't. Jay Z being part of Iluminatti is a conspiracy precisely because it is rejected by the majority of people. There is a sense of arrogance in the certainty of some peoples claims on here that he has sold his soul. Rationally, it is more probable that he made it with Talent, hard work and luck.

  • @rkomp09 yea people act like he has money that no one sees where it came from ,he has like 15 number 1 albums clothing lines record labels clubs liqur etc WE SEE where hes getting his money and how he got sucesful niggas seen his grind but still question him it so stupid

  • I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti

  • Jay' goes hard on that sickkk'asss beat...

  • Sickest beat ever, meaningful lyrics, addicting hook... Jay killed it.

  • LOOL... kids talking about illuminati and shit and jay being a mason.. just so you know Jay was a broke motherfucker when this came out... and was pretty unknown

  • @Barhuumi and then.. he blew up.

  • @Love42Beasley8Rubio9 Lol.. he was a hoodrat when this came out... you guys need to stop thinking so much... If you actually listened to the lyrics you'd know what he is talking about.

  • @Barhuumi ' LOOL kids talking about illuminati"...for real professor? then tell us what this shit is about since ur so old and smart, can't you read.or listen, illuminati keep they on me...it couldnt be any clearer than what jay is tellin in this song, the fact that he was broke back then makes it even more believable, thats how they lured him to join...whatever

  • Why even care about illuminati. that's NONSENSE, bro, get over it!

  • @suvaloo you have proof?

  • yeah sure is a "metaphor" well ahhaha hell im tired of people trying to make excuses for this shit theyre trying to brainwash us. wake up if you dont believe go to illuminati, music industry and why michael jackson got killed part I. If youre really interested watch part II....if you still think this song is a "metaphor" of some sort then yu might be an iluminati.

  • @TheAngelicaable hey brother, som sleepers wana sleep for ever even while walking right? even if u wake them up by force they will result to drugs or and alcohol..

  • DEAR GOD PLEASE KILL ILLUMINATI,

    ILLUMINATI WAN'T MY MIND, SOUL AND MY BODY

    DEAR GOD PLEASE KILL ILLUMINATI,

    SECRET SOCIETY KEEP TELLING LIES TO ME

    DEAR GOD PLEASE KILL ILLUMINATI,

    ILLUMINATI WAN'T MY MIND, SOUL AND MY BODY

    DEAR GOD PLEASE KILL ILLUMINATI,

    (Echo) illuminati must die

  • The song mentions the illuminati and confirms their identity as a Secret society as well as stating their goals and that's in the chorus, the most important part of the song; then denies even mentioning the name illuminati in interviews. Maybe it is a metaphor, but if it is, why deny it?

  • Who cares your all faggots for even Liking this fucking sell out -___- Fuck illuminati

    All hail biggie

  • @XxDjboy227Xx Jay-Z was broke when he made this song, Biggie was already a millionaire. This song is about the corrupting influence of money and how it manifests in your life (particularly in relationships) not what you call the illuminati. He made it through talent, hard work and luck. Those are proven methods to success, not some higher power that pulls the strings. Your life more or less is in your own hands,dont use this as an excuse for your failures. Don't be stupid your whole life.

  • dis shit is 2 gangsta

  • how do i join the illuminati

    

  • @TojoADL Tyler the creators says u just gotta tell r kelly hes handsome

  • @madclownace hahhahahahaha

  • I dont pray to god, I pray to GOTTI.....!!!!

  • @hovajavi1

    rly?

  • he says thats right its wicked i dont pray to god i pray to god Ea. look up the god Ea aka enki... jehovvahs brother aka lucifer aka satan... look up the lost book of enki by zeccariah sitchen. listen to that shit itll blow your mind and kinda change your opinion of what the illuminati might be.

  • @WonkaMarijuana HE SAID HE PRAYS TO GOTTI NOT GOD EA!!

  • @WonkaMarijuana No its Gotti as in John Gotti. He's been referenced a million times in rap songs. Your reading too much into his lyrics. Enjoy the music, stop turning people against artistic impression.

  • Clean song

  • secret societies doesn exist .. lazy fucks try to believe in fiction so they can justify their sucking at life

  • @sadcommunity your bitchass listens to watever the t.v tells you tho

  • @sadcommunity fuckin follower just keep doing wat your doing, when shit hits the fan you're gonna be fuckin lost.

  • @sadcommunity Shut up sheep !

  • i used to not care about the illuminati...then i got thrown into a FEMA camp

  • Immortal technique is selling a free album is fucking badass is on viperrecords

  • So fuckn What with that Illuminati Bullshit , You either listen to it or not.

  • TECHNICALLY ANY WHERE YOU DECIDE TO WORK IS SELLING YOUR SOUL... BUT ITS HOW YOU SELL IT THAT MADE JAYZ WHO HE IS ......IGNORANT PEOPLE CANT SEEM TO NOTICE THEY GIVING HIM POWER BY MENTIONING IT ........... A SIGNED CONTRACT IS YOUR SOUL ON PAPER.. WHICH DIFFERS FROM THE PERIOD PLACE IN THE CONTRACT

  • i used to care about illuminati..then i got laid

Oh I used to care that people were trying to take over the world and control my mind but my then I had sex and now nothing like that matters. That makes you an animal. I don't believe no illumanti shit, but seriously,,,, thats so lame. so lame.

  • @ClearlyDamnDecent bro you need to stfu and smoke a bowl

  • Comment removed

  • @dsmkk1771 resist the temptation homie.

  • I NEED VIEWS ON MY VIDEOS SO I CAN WIN THIS CONTEST FOR GETTING SIGNED! MY DREAM WAS TO ALWAYS PURSUE A MUSIC CAREER. PLZ HELP MY DREAMS COME TRUE BY GIVING ME A THUMBS UP

  • Nine to Five is how you survive

    I'm not tryin to survive

    I'm tryin to live it to the limit and love it a lot

  • I BREAK BREAD WIT DA LEY HEADS..! DO U NIGGAS EVEN KNOW WAT THAT MEANS? I BET U DONT!!!!!?

  • @junglekiDD55 This can be a possible double entendre for not only breaking bread as an allusion to Jesus at the last supper, but also breaking bread as in separating money in a deal- most likely drug related

  • This song is NOT about the Illuminati as some super secret organization. It IS about the Illuminati as a metaphor for the corrupting influences of money, drugs, hustling etc. A bit more mundane than an international doomsday device but a fascinating delivery regardless.

  • @WeskerHUNK CAUSE IM A CONSPIRACY THEORIST ABOUT THIS STUFF I HAVE TO SAY ITS ABOUT BOTH,oops i left it on caps lock

  • @WeskerHUNK nigga this straight up about illuminati.. wise up. idk why niggas dont except it for what it is instead of trying act like it doesnt exsist. the nigga clealry said illumanti want my mind soul and body... can you not hear. you never hear an athlete complain about fame so why do music peeps complain.. because at the end of the day they know they sold their soul to get where they are and they gotta live with that.. the song still goes hard though music is music illumanati or not.

  • @thekillamc21 so you're saying that drugs, money, power, and fame cannot corrupt the mind, body, and soul of anybody? That's what Jay Z used the Illuminati reference for, that's the metaphor. I'm saying the Illuminati reference isn't towards some international super-organization hell-bent on enslaving the rest of the human populace, I'm saying the reference is towards how street life so readily corrupts, with "Illuminati" simply symbolizing those influences. And athletes don't rap much do they?

  • @thekillamc21 Still. Hard song goes hard. Just trying to clarify that just because the Illuminati is mentioned doesn't mean Jay Z is a part of some shady megalomaniacal underworld organization.

  • @WeskerHUNK Wordjoooo. still amazes me how people think Jay-Z or Any rapper for that matter would make themselves an Illuminati target. Pretty sure they would have bigger shit to address.

  • @WeskerHUNK he is.. whats so hard to believe about it.. you hear countless rappers and other famous people talk about selling their soul.. you dont sell your soul by commiting to hard work that just sounds stupid.. and also you dont say you sold your soul for no reason why would you? just take a look at emienin listen to the song "my darling".. complete tale of how he sold his soul. why do you think the musics so shitty now? illumanati wants to dumb the new generation down.

  • @WeskerHUNK Dude you have to know about the illuminati before saying that they dont hustle they are way more evil than that... Jay z is a part of them

  • @WeskerHUNK I guess all his songs are metaphors about them then...

  • @WeskerHUNK Take the word "not" out of your first sentence and delete the rest.

  • lol people here talkin about this is when he sold his soul or this is when he entered the illuminati... he couldnt even get a record label to distribute his first album so he had to make his own rocafella wtf are you guys talking about?

  • People see what they wanna see and they believe that "Illuminati" is a real or a threat? Real evil is out there, take a trip outside of the trivial, privileged life of an American; there are people who don't worry about imaginary conspiracies and struggle to exist. What would you even think Illuminati hopes to accomplish? Instead of being suspicious of bullshit, open your eyes and look around. YOU're the only person stopping you from achieving what you want at the end of the day as an American.

  • all of you are so fucking paranoid. everyone just wants to keep digging deeper and deeper to the point where even though it doesn't make sense people just start to accept it just so they can have something to believe in. the only evidence illuminati has to being real is the opinions and lyrics of a bunch of rappers. at least 95% of rappers out there are fake as fuck and dont do anything they say in their lyrics so i dont even consider that credible evidence when some rapper says their illuminati

  • so in the illuminati's case this is their year 2012... hmm God help us.

  • this was right after he sold his soul

  • @TheKilluminati714 you cant sell your soul.

  • @3rdeyez777 yes you can sell your sell, you just have to be someone the devil is interested in,

  • @3rdeyez777 hey man this song is still dope tho

  • @TheKilluminati714 they dont sell there soul they empower it.

  • @3rdeyez777 Neck you a dumb ass bean

  • There's no "Reasonable Doubt" that the illuminati is real.

  • @YungMarley713 gtfo

  • Comment removed

  • This shit too lyrical for niggas to even comprehend

  • KILLUMINATI

  • damn i almost forgot how hov can spit fire, when hes not on his otis and other pop shit

  • @3R3R9 WORD!!!!!!!!!

  • killuminati

  • Jay is better than nas

  • @PrestigeTeamLege9210 Hahahahaha That was a funny ass joke.

    I almost thought you were serious.

  • Premo>>>>Jay Z

  • Tight fucing beat. Great sample from Snoop to, from murder was da case.

  • Were are the old heads who use to be out there in the hoods pushing kids to go to school and get educated?, Nowhere to be found, youngins dont respect old heads cause the old heads are worse than them. I dont respect no fuckin drug dealer, pimp, or fake niggaz with ulterior motives that come to you as harmless as sheep but are as dangerous as wolves. Nas forever, that man sacrifices money to show the children of the guetto that things aint right in the world. Whut up saigon, another soldier

  • Jayz is as clever an mc as there is, preemo murdered the beat and as for illuminati you just might be down with them. Stop supporting senseless music with no substance, we, us black people are the creaters of hiphop and we have allowed superficial luxuries change the landscape of this genre of music. Im down for supporting your family through the music industry but people dont care about the negative effects music thesr days have. The promotion of crime, senseless violence, drugs, promiscuity.

  • i realized songs like these are as classic as the regular street shit...cause its sumn u can pull up years later...wether discussions on classics or just the whole illuminati bullshit convo which people keep in the now cause they think the group really exists...same thing with prodigy saying that line and snoop makin murda was the case...who really sells their soul to make music? smh

  • ive got this song on replay dj premier just killed this beat. his voice samples and scratches are so on point

  • premo is a legend

  • Have you notice that Roc-A-Fella have so much good albums?

    Reasonable Doubt, The Black Album, Graduation, World of Mouf, MBDTF...

  • Comment removed

  • This is the real jay that i fucks with, this is almost compareable to my nigga nas

  • Where does that illuminati, mind, soul, body sample come from?

  • @unsinkable701 LL Cool J - I shot ya Remix

  • @NLStylee Thanks man.

  • @unsinkable701 its a prodigy verse in the song who shot ya

  • they thrive on our violence nd they want us to start wars with one another they want us to lose a human instinct which is loving nd caring. now i aint no fuckin treehugger nd no i aint fuckin nice myself but we have to open our eyes at whats really fuckin goin on WE NEED TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. i didnt believe either until i started connecting dots nd it makes sense nd if you dont believe me look up Why the Iluminati tried to kill Michael Jackson you have to make out what hes trying to say.

  • ImNotTryingToSoundLikeThoseAnn­oyingAss illuminati theorist people but they are real and they use celebrities as puppets to make music that sounds really great nd will attract a huge crowd. I dont really give two fucks bout that illuminati shit but they do exist, their insanely clever nd decepting nd they put their selves out their so people can think well if their so secret then why do we know about them.Thats their whole plan is to make youDenyTheirExistenceSoThatWeA­rgue&FightAmongstEachother

  • FarhanK501 if you wanna wake up..let all sheep meet reality

  • Jayz is a legend.

  • I still get amazed by how brilliant D'evils and Can I Live are...

  • Comment removed

  • @kaje73 same here. brilliant.

  • @kaje73 and dead presidents

  • to tell you the truth, i could give a SHIT about the Illuminati, i'll bump this no matter what.

  • what are the name of the samples from the hook?

  • @t3ch420 Snoop Dogg: lil ghetto boy.

  • That sounds like depth, thanks for the lesson. Just why you on jay z's nuts, he don't need an advocate. Dout he'd help you

  • 1:04.. So true

  • Lucky lame ass clown, jay-z ain't got no real depth

  • @caseylarsen89 Are u even listening to the verses? Hes describing the life of a drug dealer trying to make it out of the hood. If you listen closely, hes explaining how in their life they cant be close to anyone. They would kill or even kidnap their close friend's girl to get their money. Man u dont even know what depth is...
