    OMG…why do i keep reading the comments. most of these ppl are plus or minus a chromosome. i’m just going to look at the pretty pictures from now on.

  2. Jamilah

    @ # 35 You got all of that ( minus the multiple misspelled words) from that snippet? Wow! You must be clairvoyant.

    My eye still hurts.

  3. Bushwick

    I got news for you people, being a mason, doesn not make you a devil worshipper, I’m telling you what I know. All it is is basically a fraternity, basically.

    So stop spreading that ignorance, you know black people don’t like to read up on facts.

  4. HISGIRL3

    AMEN TWEET!!!

  5. hood_shit

    what the FUCK was the PURPOSE of THAT?

  6. NIKI

    @61 lol! I have been thinking about doing the same thing.

  7. The bizness

    Looks satanic…

  8. UPTOWN

    i am so good on these satanists.

    & @18.. stfu. it’s obvious ur young & don’t know any better. stuff like this is nothing to be playing around with. u stay joking about this stuff but u’ll learn sooner or later.

    did any of you hear kanye’s rant/freestyle after performing “amazing” at the g-shock event last wk? in it, kanye says anyone who “really thinks christ is coming back soon” is an idiot. watch it yourself at youtube just type in “kanye g-shock” and sort by newest. the vid is 3:52 and there are a bunch of ‘em.

  9. Fee {C Breezy's Certified Fan}

    I can’t get over the 30 second shyt, like is it that serious? Lol

  10. AMIL SAW IT, WHY CAN'T YOU???

    Yo, ever since I known you, you been out to get me
    Acting like my peeps, but I know that’s how you tricked me
    Love to see me get high, love to see my tipsy
    Heard you even wanna stick a little chip in me
    You been trying to play me close ever since my shine
    Wanna take me to dinner, feed me shrimp and swine
    You said, Amil I want you to meet a good friend of mine
    His name is Money and we partners till the end of time
    Introduced me to your clique, hate, envy, lust and greed
    Said you want the whole world in ya custody
    And if I give you my soul you’ll give me luxuries
    Said you could hit me up wit power, it’s just up to me
    I turn you on when I’m in short skirts and tight jeans
    You want my kids to write Santa and celebrate Halloween
    Told me sell my people crack and get rich off fens
    You love the number 6 but hate the number 13

  11. AMIL SAW IT, WHY CAN'T YOU???

    You wanna, be the one to pick me up when I fall
    Told me hang Casear bojease on my living room wall
    It was always something bout you that made my skin crawl
    You turned me into a player and showed me how to ball
    You give me rewards when I rob and steal
    Want me to abort my babies and get on the pill
    You put burners in the hood so each other we kill
    I see your eye watching me on the dollar bills
    When I got the scoop on you, it just made you mad
    Cause I moved out your crib, packed all my bags
    Them days I turned to you was the days you laughed
    You used to smile every time I pledge allegiance to the flag
    We speak now and then but we ain’t smacking hands
    You be up in the clubs asking me for a dance
    Still trying to convince me to go cheat on my man
    Begging me to please give you just one more chance

  12. JUDAH

    I saw that ridiculous “freestyle” at the g-shock event and this dude, Kanye West, is hilarious. It looked like a white boy trying to rap a hip-hop song at a karaoke night.

  13. aoki

    if you people read the bible, you would be able to see how they worship the devil and how all this illuminati shit is true! accept Jesus in your hearts! therapture is coming soon

  14. AMIL SAW IT, WHY CAN'T YOU???

    You got all my phones tapped, I gotta talk at booths
    I learned an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
    You built Sodom and Gomorra for us all to live in
    When we was cool you used to tell me all your visions
    Like how you gonna rule the nations under one religion
    You got this New World order, it’s like a big prison
    You said you wanna be worshipped from noon to noon
    Nothings gonna get better is what we all assumed
    Cause nights is getting shorter and it’s snowing in June
    I see you working overtime cause you out of here soon

  15. wepofkwnfeb

    i think it s a great video !

    and i started liking the song after seeing this piece of video. i’d even be a better addition than rihanna

  16. chubbs

    so far it reminds of disturbia..but lets see :)

  17. african_queen

    can get anything from this useless 30 second clip ima need the whole thing..I really dislike when artist try to be so damn exclusive with the video just release the whole thing already its not like your hurting anyone

  18. too damn bad...

    Tupac turns over and pukes.

  19. NoMoSoul

    Uh…30 sec? Seriously is that serious? is the video that hot?

    And if i hear one more EEeeehhhh from Rihanna i’m gonna EEEEEHFFFF up her face.

  20. NoMoSoul

    Never mind, my bad. Chris Brown beat me to that punch/kick/slam! (pun intended)

  21. TJ

    Next time, he’ll be dressing up in a devil’s costume and people will be like “oh, that’s so hot!”….

    Remember it was our own black people in Africa that sold us into the slave trade. Learn from your history.

  22. @ 68—I saw the YouTube video. Kanye was all about ‘Jesus Walks’ before, then his mom died & he turned into a whole different person.

  23. Salty

    People need to stop going by hearsay & research things for themselves. I did & I found out that freemasonry, occultism, satanism are heavily embedded within the music industry & entertainment in general. Stop idolizing these entertainers & superstars & wake up! If you go to youtube you can watch “The Industry” series on PimPb1420′s channel & Google is also free.

  24. annie :o)

    god, i really can’t take her voice. just listening to that 30-second clip was brutal and i haven’t even heard the whole song yet. this song really could’ve done without her. that “yeah, yeah, yeah” thing is really annoying. there are better people, maybe not Beyoncé, but there are other people.

  25. anti-illuminati

    for all who are too blind to see: yes, this video is highly symbolic of esoteric teachings and prophecies….WHY DO YOU THINK THEY DID THAT “RANDOM” CLOSE UP OF KANYE’S EYE!!! the one eye– the all seeing eye of horus/set/lucifer/satan. come on people, it’s right there in front of you. these people are being so blunt and open with their symbols and are laughing at you because the media has blinded you so much you don’t even see what’s in front of you. in film or video, no one WASTES MONEY to put in “random” shots of anything insignificant, so i guarantee you that shot of kanye’s LEFT eye in the camera was shot and edited in for a reason. i studied filmmaking so i know, at least from a financial viewpoint, random shots don’t make it out of the editing room. these people are playing you and you’re just loving your oblivion.

  26. backingbarack

    im sorry but whoever told jayz he could rap lied.

    this negro is lame as hell. did he fire or lose his ghost writer? bc he needs to hire a new one.

    omg he is a joke!!!! and i bet he swears he is one of the greatest. the only song i like of jayz’s and what i must say was the best song in his life was “who you wit”. his other songs with foxy were good too like “sunshine” and by himself “i just wanna love ya” bc pharrell produced that track. but besides that jayz is garbage!!!!!!!! FILTH!!! plus when he was with foxy he def had a ghostwriter.

    anyways. they act like this video is a film and the premiere of brad pitts or some other oscar winner’s upcoming movie. no one cares to watch this dark evil clan show their black magic skills. this is clearly jayz’s way to make rihanna and him more money. slowly and surely he will get that lil girl back out into the public.

  27. annie :o)

    @88: i mean, there are better people to sing the song… of course Beyoncé’s better than Rihanna, but might not fit the song.

  28. jjj (the original jjj)

    I like what I saw…

  29. Omg.

    It looks totally dumb. Not feeling the song or Rihanna’s terrible yodeling that she calls ‘singing’. She needs to stop and so does Jay. Ye’ is always cool in my book but they just all seem like they’re trying EXTRA hard right now and it’s not working. Rihanna stay trying to be ‘edgy’. Girl bye, go get some vocal lessons.

  30. Focused1

    Oh puh-lease previews for music videos are pointless, and nothing special was shown in this clip. All the special effects and video theatrics in the world won’t make this song good, mainly because of Rihanna’s goat wailing on the song.

  31. Tell it like it is

    You folks need to stop idolizing these celebrities and see what’s actually happening.

    Here is a quote from Lady Gaga in regards to the upcoming concer she has with Kanye

    Before agreeing to tour with Kanye West this fall, Gaga told the rapper, “I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: I’m gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it’s gay. And I love my gay fans and they’re all going to be coming to our show. And it’s going to remain gay.” That’s another clause in the Gagaland constitution: Gay culture shall gush undiluted into the rapids of society. It shall not be co-opted, fancified, dolled up, or Uncle Tommed. “I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream,” she says, “It’s not an underground tool for me. It’s my whole life. So I always sort of joke the real motivation is to just turn the world gay.”

    Out.com

  32. O Dear.

    I can’t believe American people threw away good music for this bullshit! It really upsets me.

    I was just listening to some H-Town, Theodore Unit and Jones Girls, and then these people expect me to come listen to this.

    Are you serious? No damn way.

  33. darklove

    rihanna’s voice in that song………aaarrghhhhh

  34. MONICA

    During Kanye G-Shock video rant he also spoke of the industry using black folks as pawns how all they are good for is to dance nigga dance ,he also spoke of 2012 when New Yorks will be set free yes some of us are aware they are part of a lodge but at what lengths are some of these stars going to to acquire fame we were Freemason back in the day but we did not worship the devil part of the secret society whiteman created is based on their caveman existence homosexuality,beastiality, peodophilia, abuse what a happy day when they were able to print paper an call it money

  35. LAURYN SAW IT, WHY CAN'T YOU?

    Forgive them father for they know not what they do
    Forgive them father for they know not what they do

    Beware the false motives of others
    Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers
    And you never suppose it’s those who are closest to you, to you
    They say all the right things to gain their position
    Then use your kindness as their ammunition
    To shoot you down in the name of ambition, they do

    Forgive them father for they know not what they do
    Forgive them father for they know not what they do

    Why every Indian wanna be the chief?
    Feed a man ’til he’s full and he still want beef
    Give me grief, try to tief off my piece
    Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
    If I treat you kindly does it mean that I’m weak?
    You hear me speak and think I won’t take it to the streets
    I know enough cats that don’t turn the other cheek
    But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
    And other African czars observing stars with war scars
    Get yours in this capitalistic system
    So many caught or got bought you can’t list them
    How you gonna idolize the missing?
    To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition
    Even when they comin’ gunnin’
    I stand position
    L’s known the mission since conception
    Let’s free the people from deception
    If you looking for the answers
    Then you gotta ask the questions
    And when I let go, my voice echoes through the ghetto
    Sick of men trying to pull strings like Geppetto
    Why black people always be the ones to settle
    March through these streets like Soweto

    Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas,
    Backstabbers do this

    Forgive them father for they know not what they do
    Forgive them father for they know not what they do

    It took me a little while to discover
    Wolves in sheep coats who pretend to be lovers
    Men who lack conscience will even lie to themselves, to themselves
    A friend once said, and I found to be true
    That everyday people, they lie to God too
    So what makes you think, that they won’t lie to you

  36. MONICA

    yet more mind control Jay has not been able to fulfill his mission thats why you now see him out an about with high priestess Oprah queen illusionist Oprah would place because of the amount of people she can turn into sheeple plus bring in money for massa

  37. MONICA

    Yes Lauryn broke the oath she started to reveal an expose the illuminatis just like with Tupac what happended to her she is now a mess

  38. Who's That Peeping Through My Window...

    …some of you people give me a serious headache… I mean really.

    Always trying to read the truth in someone’s heart but are blind to the blackness in their own. You seem to think you are all knowing. Trust me, a wise man knows that he knows nothing. Funny when one speaks of weak minds, yet whose to say your are not a victim of the same infliction? Repeating what your told, like sheep.

    Regardless of what their beliefs or opinions are (we all have them), live your life and be an example of your word and spare us with your bs.

    Back to the video…

    Rhi sounds terrible…haven’t heard the song itself so I couldn’t tell you if I liked it. The video itself, well I’ll have to determine how I feel after I hear the lyrics.

  39. Who's That Peeping Through My Window...

    And it’s probably the same person posting under different names.

    All alone…in their lonely apartment…Jay Z pictures and articles all over his walls.

    Get up. Take a shower. Step outside and realize there is more going on in life then your foolish obsessions.

  40. stop

    #3 PREACH! these 3 don’t even hide it anymore. they are DEVIL WORSHIPPERS and the whole video looks like a scene from one of their cult meetings

    @ i love this game; lmfao, oh sh*t, you are a retarded individual

    @ PMS, ”Man, all you have to do is start foolishness and idiots will promote it on every single blog. roflmmfaoooooooooooo”
    lol you got that right, foolishness is Rihanna and the idiot is you

    Rihanna is a part of this song because no one else was dumb enough to disgrace themselves publicly like that. only her would agree to ‘sing’ such nonsense and she has the most annoying voice ever

    BOTTOM LINE IS THE SONG AND THE VIDEO= 100% GARBAGE

  41. loveandpeace

    riri is a whore

  42. Tell it like it is

    If there are Christians on the board
    The Christian role in the world is to be influencers of the world! Not to hide from it, or ignore it, or alienated them from us! We have to find a way to influence it (Matt. 24:14; Rom. 10:18; Col. 1:6; 23; 2:20-23) without being influenced negatively by their sin and corruption ourselves (Matt. 6:19-24; 32; Luke 12:13-21; I John 2:15-17)!

    Everyone an voice their opinions about the celebrities Kanye etc as long as it’s according to the guidelines.

    I for one agree since Kanye’s mother has died his image is darker.

    I find it disturbing that one of the goals of his upcoming tour is “to just turn the world gay.”

  43. MONICA

    These illuminatis role is to stop blackman from reproducing they have never liked women especially their own it’s suit them to be homosexual they use to form chruches to hide sadistic lifetstyle how come so much boy have been abused in Catholic churces ,why are so many of our brothers locked up in cave like prisons they fear us we are superior they are inferior why all the scientific research the cutting off the noses of the pyramids

  44. Jamilah

    Just checking to see if the idiocy was still rampant here. Yup.

  45. neon

    haha judah must be loving life right now b/c he has soo many followers on this post

    just because the vid looks like a devil0worshipping vid doesn’t mean the artists are actual devil worshippers. it’s called pretending. riri does it everyday.

  47. Tell it like it is

    @Neon
    I guess Kanye must be pretending he’s righteous by fornicating with a bisexual female and touring with a lesbian who wants to convert his fans.
