kanye-west

Kanye West is an enigma of epic proportions. For certain he is one of the most unique characters in the music business, though it seems his quirkiness has peaked as of late. Between the on-stage melt downs, the bald headed barbie (ex?) girlfriend and the one-of-a-kind sense of style, we are left wondering, ‘where does West’s eccentricity come from?’

Kanye seems more akin to a mad-genius-music-scientist than the run-of-the-mill rapper, and for that we are ever-intrigued.

After a long hiatus following the Taylor Swift-MTV Awards debacle, Kanye has reemerged with a single that is tearing up airwaves. “Power” is West’s catchy return to rap, post the era of “Heartbreaks and 808′s.” While the song is acoustically appealing enough to ride the wave of success straight to the top of the charts, we are a bit bothered by its message. Hearing West agonize about the woes of “one man having all this power” over the hymn-like lulling of a gospel choir is eerily ominous. Add the references to a “beautiful death” from his proposed “Jumping out the window, ” and Kanye has managed to throw us into a full blown panic. Is “Power” merely an egotistical testament to West’s accomplished stature laced with his signature ef-you attitude, or the mark of a troubled genius struggling with the responsibilities of new-found power?

We decided to use the lyrics of “Power” as the means by which we take a stab at the complicated question of “Whats bugging Kanye West?”

Here’s what we came up with:

No one man should have all that power

The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours

Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power

(21st century schizoid man)

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

We’re Guessing: The immense pressures of fame. We think Kanye is just trying to get a handle on the

The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open

We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, ma’f**ka, we rollin’

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

We’re Guessing: We don’t really think that Kanye has jumped ship on democracy and capitalism in favor of anarchy (especially considering the shout out to his diamond chain a few bars later). Perhaps, though, there is a tinge of lawlessness involved with limitless power and privilege. If he is the genius that we believe he is, the Kayne is definitely making reference to the perceived absolution of rules that results from fame.

In this white man world, we the ones chosen

So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin’

Huh? I see you in the mornin’

This is way too much, I need a moment

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

A: Who  among us has not had a moment of “woe is me cruel world.” Add race into the equation and it is easy to see what has Kanye down. He just needs a moment people.

F*ck SNL and the whole cast

Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass

More specifically, they can kiss my asshole

I’m an asshole? You n*ggas got jokes.

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

A: Everyone attacked Kanye after his VMA outburst, and as all major stars do, West went on SNL to address the incident directly in a humorous way. In the end, though, we think that Kanye thinks that the joke was on him. Shame on those SNL-ers for tricking him into furthering his egotistical  image to the public, thus making everything worse! We just can’t lame the man for being upset and feeling bamboozled! There was also this set, in which the cast sarcastically blasted West for his exorbitant effort to defend Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”:

Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic

He know, he so, f*ckin’ gifted

I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts

Got treasures in my mind, but couldn’t open up my own vault

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

A: How does one balance being gifted and recognizing one’s own talent without seeming egotistical? Maybe this is also his way of saying, ‘no people, I was not in rehab or in India. I was just taking sometime to gather my thoughts outside of the spotlight.’

My childlike creativity, purity and honesty

Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts

Reality is catchin’ up with me

Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

A: Apparently he’s also trying to find and keep a hold of his inner child. Not even halfway through the song, this man has already unveiled a handful of issues.

With these responsibilities that they entrusted me

As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

A: When we saw Kayne perform at the BET awards with that humongous Egyptian piece we thought 2 things: a) Oh no, Kanye has abandoned Jesus (the pendant, that is) and; b) how ridiculous is that. But after seeing the pictures of him visiting the sarcophagus of King Tut’s Great-Grandmother, we decided that he was just inspired. He must be upset with the rest of you out there who judged him too. Maybe.

kanye-king-tut1

Lost in translation with a whole f*ckin’ nation

They say I was the obamanation of Obama’s nation

Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

A: Everyone seems to be down on Kanye, and he’s definitely feeing thepressure.

I don’t need yo’ p*ssy, b*tch, I’m on my own d*ck

I ain’t gotta power trip, who you goin’ home with?

How ‘Ye doin’? I’m survivin’

I was drinkin’ earlier, now I’m drivin’

Where the bad b*tches, huh? Where ya hidin’?

I got the power, make yo’ life so excitin’ (So excitin’)

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

A: 2 words; Ambe Rose. Kanye took Amber from total obsurity to total fame. Now rumors of Ambers expoits are running as wild as she allegedly is. Whatever happened to loyalty Amber? We think Kanye’s trying to send a message to his ex along the lines of ‘i don’t need you, you need me.’

[ione-gallery id="518805" src="http://giantmag.com"]

Now this’ll be a beautiful death

Jumpin’ out the window

Lettin’ everything go

Q: Whats Bugging Kanye?

A: This seems like Kanye’s way of giving peole what he thinks they want. Since h obviously feels like he’s important enough to be crucified by the public, he’s throwig his hands up and giving ua a ‘beautiful death.’ Well Kanye, thats not what we want. Just keep making good music and cooky life decisions.

    What’s bugging Kanye? The death of his mother.. She was a major force in his life helping him to stay grounded…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Golden_Armz1/ Golden_Armz1

    kanye west isnt no more than a god damn puppet, a part of the illuminati at that all the vmas and taylor swift b.s. was planned and scripted, he’s a sellout to the person that says hes a freemason that isnt all the way accurate look at the symbol kanye west utilizes the eye of providence and the pyramid the the roman numerals at the bottom of the $1 bill which is actually worth 8 cents equals to the mark of the beast=666. he utilizes horus as a showpiece, horus.Horus is recorded in Egyptian hieroglyphs as ḥr.w and is reconstructed to have been pronounced *Ḥāru, meaning “Falcon”. the falcon is depicted on the dollar bill also THE DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE

    This symbol is probably the most easily recognizable Masonic symbol in the world, even more important than the Compass/Square/Rule. Most people assume that these two birds are Eagles, but such an assumption would be deadly wrong. These two birds are the Phoenix Bird of Ancient Egyptian Mythology. Listen to the explanation from Masonic author, Manly P. Hall, 33 Degree, K.T., in his book, The Phoenix: An Illustrated Review of Occultism and Philosophy .

    “Among the ancients a fabulous bird called the Phoenix is described by early writers … in size and shape it resembles the eagle, but with certain differences. The body of the Phoenix is one covered with glossy purple feathers, and the plumes in its tail are alternately blue and red. The head of the bird is light in color, and about its neck is a circlet of golden plumage. At the back of its back the Phoenix has a crest of feathers of brilliant color … The Phoenix, it is said, lives for 500 years, and at its death its body opens and the new born Phoenix emerges. Because of this symbolism, the Phoenix is generally regarded as representing immortality and resurrection … The Phoenix is one sign of the secret orders of the ancient world and of the initiate of those orders, for it was common to refer to one who had been accepted into the temples as a man twice-born, or reborn. Wisdom confers a new life, and those who become wise are born again.” [p. p. 176-77]

    you guys say he mad about his mother look up blood sacrifices in the music industry by my man Professor griff and you see that kanye west isnt all that innocent.

    also alot of people want to about jay-z and masons pratices

    Initiation Into the Lodge
    (1) The Symbolism of the Lodge

    Although the rule is no longer rigorously applied,
    Freemasonry requires that candidates must be of sound mind and able bodied; any physical handicap is supposed to bar admission.”
    - Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key: Pharaohs,
    Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

    This is similar to the basic requirements for admission into the Yahad
    or “Unity group” described in several of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

    As the candidate “progresses through the ceremonies he learns that at the building of King Solomon’s Temple at Jerusalem the skilled masons were divided into two classes, Apprentices and Fellows; that they were presided over by three Grand masters (King Solomon, Hiram King of Tyre, and Hiram Abiff) who shared certain secrets known only to them; that these secrets were lost by the murder of Hiram Abiff – a result of his refusal to divulge the secrets – and that certain substituted secrets were adopted ‘until time or circ**stance should restore the former’. The implication in the ritual is that Freemasonry was already established in Solomon’s time and has continued as an unchanged system since them. The ritual, however, as the candidate quickly realizes, is not literal or historical truth but a dramatic allegory by means of which the principles and tenets of the Craft are handed down.”
    - John Hamill, The Craft, A History of English Freemasonry

    “While there probably are some actual stone-workers who are Masons, Masonry does not teach is membership the literal techniques of stonework. Rather, it takes the actual ‘operative’ work of Medieval Masons and uses it as an allegory for moral development. Thus, the symbols of Masonry are the common tools that were used by medieval stonemasons: the gavel, the rule, the compass, the square, the level, etc. Each of these has a symbolic meaning in Masonry. For example, Masons are said to meet ‘on the level’, meaning that all Masons are brothers, regardless of social status, personal wealth, or office within the Lodge or in the world at large. Similar symbolism exists for other tools.”
    - Andrew Fabbro, Freemasonry FAQ Version 1.2

    “The purpose of Masonry is to train a human being so that he will reconstuct, through the body of change and death which he now has, a perfect physical body which shall not be subject to death. The plan is to build this deathless body, called by modern masons Solomon’s Temple, out of material in the physical body, which is called the ruins of Solomon’s Temple.”
    - Harold Waldwin Percival, Masonry and Its Symbols in the Light of “Thinking and Destiny”

    “And since sin has destroyed within us the first temple of purity and innocence, may they heavenly grace guide and assist us in rebuilding a second temple of reformation, and may the glory of this latter house be greater than the glory of the former.”
    - Masonic prayer

    “The lodge as a room or hall is an oblong square, which is a half of a perfect square, and which is inside or outside the lower half of a circle. Each lodge meets in the same room, alike furnished, but the lodge working in the Apprentice degree is styled the Ground Floor, the lodge working the Fellow Craft degree is called the Middle Chamber, and the lodge working the Master degree is called the Sanctum Sanctorum, all in King Solomon’s Temple.”
    - Harold Waldwin Percival, Masonry and Its Symbols in the Light of ‘Thinking and Destiny’

    “Q. Where were you made a Mason?
    A. In the body of a Lodge, just, perfect and regular.
    Q. And when?
    A. When the sun was at its meridian.
    Q. As in this country Freemasons’ Lodges are usually held and candidates initiated at night, how do you reconcile that which at first sight appears a paradox?
    A. The sun being a fixed body and the earth continually revolving about the same on its own axis and Freemasonry being a universal science, diffused throughout the hole of the inhabited globe, it necessarily follows that the sun must always be at its meridian with respect to Freemasonry.”
    - Masonic ritual

    “Freemasons today claim always to meet symbolically at noon on the basis that Freemasonry is a worldwide organisation and therefore ‘the sun is always at its meridian with respect to Freemasonry’. Masonic reference to God as ‘the most high’ is therefore a description of Re, the sun god in his ultimate position, the zenith of the heavens at noon.
    - Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

    Note that the initiation rights for the various degrees of Freemasonry may vary somewhat from lodge to lodge.

    (2) First Degree – Entered Apprentice Freemason

    The working tools of an Entered Apprentice are the gauge and the mallet.

    “When the Candidate is first admitted into a Masonic Lodge his condition as an Entered Apprentice is represented by the Rough Ashlar, the first of a set of three symbols which the Craft calls the Three Immovable Jewels. An ashlar is a building stone; a rough ashlar is a stone which has not yet been shaped into the form required by ts place in the structure.”
    - W. K. Kirk MacNulty, Freemasonry – A Journey through Ritual and Symbol

    “…The perfect ashler is also a stone, made ready by the working-tools of the fellow craft, to be adjusted in the building; and the trestle-board is for the master workman to draw his plans and designs upon.”
    - Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor or Guide to the Three Symbolic Degrees of the Ancient York Rite

    “The material which makes up the First Degree encourages the Candidate to take such a deep look at himself and the workings of his psyche, and it is for this reason that one must ask to become a Mason. No one should b persuaded to assume that sort of responsibility until he feels he is ready for it.”
    - W. K. Kirk MacNulty, Freemasonry – A Journey through Ritual and Symbol

    The initiation to the first degree begins when the candidate is brought before the entrance to the temple and the guard hits the door with the hilt of his sword.
    “I was hoodwinked (that is, blindfolded) and dressed in loose-fitting white trousers and top. One foot was in a simple slipper (the expression for this is ‘slipshod’), my left leg was exposed to the knee, and the left breast of the tunic had been drawn aside so that my chest was bared on that side. Unbeknown to me a hangman’s noose had been put around my neck and draped down my back. I had been relieved of all metal objects and I was not ready to be lead into the Temple. (We later learnt that this mode of dress, the rough smock with the running noose about the neck, was exactly how a medieval heretic would have been treated by the Inquisition prior to making his confession.)” – Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

    The hangman’s noose is actually called a “cable-tow” which is defined as a “rope; cable; cord; ritualistically, symbol or method of control of and initiate” (which may have been how a person was led during the Inquisition). Several Masons have written to me that most of the information Knight and Lomas present about Freemasonry is either outdated or incorrect

    The candidate was questioned with a dagger blade pressed to his throat about his eligibility and whether his motives in joining are worthy. (Although the dagger is apparently not used in many [if not all] American lodges, I have been reliably informed that it is still used in United Grand Lodge of England [UGLE] rituals.) After a short prayer, the candidate is lead three times around the perimeter, pausing on each lap to be introduced as a “poor candidate in a state of darkness”. In the coronation of an Egyptian pharaoh, too, the new king is conducted around the Temple to show himself worthy . The candidate is then brought before the Worshipful Master’s pedestal:

    “Q. How were you prepared?
    A. By being divested of all metals, neither naked nor clothed, barefoot nor shod, hoodwinked, with a cable-tow around my neck; in which condition I was conducted to the door of a Lodge by a friend, whom I afterward found to be a brother.
    Q. How did you know it to be a door, being hoodwinked?
    A. By first meeting with resistance, afterward gaining admission
    Q. How gained you admission?
    A. By three distinct knocks.
    Q. What were said to you from within?
    A. Who comes here?
    Q. Your answer?
    A. Mr —–. who has long been in darkness, and now seeks to be brought to light, and to receive a part in the rights and benefits of this worshipful Lodge, erected to God, and dedicated to the holy Sts. John [John the Baptist and John the Evangelist], as all brothers and fellows have done before.”
    - Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor or Guide to the Three Symbolic Degrees of the Ancient York Rite

    The abbreviated modern version goes:

    Q. Having been in a state of darkness, what is the predominant wish of your heart?
    The answer is whispered into the candidate’s ear.
    A. Light.
    Q. Then let that blessing be restored.

    The blindfold is removed and the “lights” of Freemasonry revealed – the Volume of the Sacred Law (the Bible), the Square and the Compass. The secret signs, grips and password of the first degree are explained, as well as the meaning of Boaz, the left-hand pillar in the Porchway of Solomon’s Temple. The candidate is then presented with a white lambskin apron “more ancient than the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle”. Throughout the ceremony Apprentice is taught moral virtues based on architectural analogies. At the conclusion, as in each degree, is a celebratory dinner with much toasting, speeches and singing.

    Second Degree – Fellowcraft Mason
    The working tools of a Fellow Craft are the plumb, the square and the level. The candidate is admitted to the Temple in the same garb as he wore during the First Degree. He then has to recite memorized answers to a series of questions, including:

    Q. What is Freemasonry?
    A. A peculiar system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.
    Q. What are the three grand principles upon which Freemasonry is founded?
    A. Brotherly love, relief and truth.
    - Masonic ritual

    “In the Second Degree ceremony the candidate is asked, ‘What are the peculiar objects of research in this degree?’ The answer he is required to give is: ‘The hidden mysteries of nature and science.’ On completion of the making of the new Fellow Craft he is told: ‘You are now expected to make the liberal arts and sciences your future study’.”
    - Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

    Again the candidate is conducted around the Temple, new signs and passwords revealed, and a white apron with two rosettes. This time he learns the meaning of the right hand pillar of Solomon’s Temple, “Jachin” and is permitted to extend his “researches into the hidden mysteries of science and nature”.

    “The Second or ‘Fellowcraft’ Degree of Freemasonry gives very little knowledge to the candidate but it does introduce the idea of ‘hidden mysteries of nature and science’ and makes a clear reference to what is called the ‘Galilean Heresy’.”
    - Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

    The Third Degree – Master Mason
    The working tool of a Master Mason is the trowel, which spreads the cement and completes the work of the Entered Apprentice and Fellow Craft.

    The candidate first must pass a series of test question before he is given a password to enter the temple which is in total darkness. The ceremony begins with a brief review of the other degrees and the candidate is told:

    “But the Third Degree is the cement of the whole; it is calculated to bind men together by mystic points of fellowship, as in a bond of fraternal affection and brotherly love; it points to the darkness of death and to the obscurity of the grave as a forerunner of a more brilliant light, which shall follow at the resurrection of the just, when these mortal bodies which have been long slumbering in the dust shall be awakened, reunited with their kindred spirit, and clothed with immortality…”
    - Graham Hanc**k, The Sign and the Seal

    “The candidate after this is prepared, blindfolded and tied with cable-tow around his waist, enters the lodge. He is received on both points of the compass, pressed against his breast.”
    - Harold Waldwin Percival, Masonry and Its Symbols in the Light of ‘Thinking and Destiny’

    After a prayer and a ceremony resembling the first two degrees, the Worshipful Master tells the story of Master Hiram Abiff, said to have been the “principle architect” of Solomon’s Temple.

    “Wither our Master Hiram Abif had retired to pay his adoration to the Most High, as was his wonton custom, it being the hour of high twelve.”
    - Masonic Ritual

    “According to Masonic tradition Hiram was murdered by three of his assistants [Jubela, Jubelo, and Jubelum] soon after he had completed the bronzework of the Temple [of Solomon]. And this event was for some reason regarded as so laden with meaning that is was commemorated in the initiation ceremonies for Master masons – in which each initiate was required to play the role of the murder victim.”
    - Graham Hanc**k, The Sign and the Seal

    Refusing to divulge the secrets of his craft, Hiram receives a violent blow on his forehead which drops him to his left knee. At that point in the story, the candidate receives a light blow to his temples and is pressed to the ground by two deacons to his left knee. The story where Hiram seeks to escape by the west gate and is struck with another blow. The candidate goes down on his right knee.

    At the east gate, the third ruffian “struck him a violent blow full in the center of the forehead with a heavy stone maul, which laid him lifeless at his feet. Such was he manner of his death.”

    “In the light of the candle I saw the Worshipful Master reach forward over his pedestal with an instrument which touched my forehead and I felt many hands pulling me backwards to the floor. I was held straight and my feet were kept in place, so that I hinged backwards as I swung into the darkness. As I touched he ground a funeral shroud was immediately draped around me, so only my upper face was uncovered.”
    - Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

    “Blindfolded on the ground, the initiate hears the three murderers decide to bury him in a pile of rubble until ‘low twelve’ (midnight), when they will carry the body away from the Temple. To symbolize the burial of Hiram Abiff, the candidate is wrapped in a blanket and carried to the side of the room. Soon he hears a bell strike twelve times and is carried from the ‘rubble’ grave to a grave dug on the brow of a hill ‘west of Mount Moriah’ (the Temple Mount). He hears the murderers agree to mark his grave with a sprig of acacia, then set out to escape to Ethiopia across the Red Sea.” – John J. Robinson, Born in Blood

    The Junior Warden attempts to raise the candidate from his “grave” using the grip of an Entered Apprentice, but fails. The Senior Warden then is told to try using the Fellowcraft grip which is equally ineffectual. Finally, the Worshipful Master himself grips the candidate tightly using the “Lion’s Paw” or “Eagle’s Claw” grip and pulls the candidate immediately to his feet.

    “As I reached the vertical position the Worshipful Master whispered two peculiar words in my ear.”
    “Ma’at-neb-men-aa, Ma’at-ba-aa.”"…These words are pure Egyptian” meaning:
    “Great is the established Master of Freemasonry [Ma'at], Great is the Spirit of Freemasonry [Ma'at].”

    - Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

    Ma’at means righteousness, truth, and justice within a level and ordered symmetrical scheme and cannot be properly translated into English. Knight and Lomas have chosen “Freemasonry” as the closest equivalent meaning. A Freemason has confirmed that some of the ceremony is recognizable but the last part about the particular words is not correct.

    The Worshipful Master continues:

    “…You will perceive that you stand on the very brink of the grave into which you have just figuratively descended, and which, when this transitory life shall have passed away, will again receive you into its cold bosom.”

    The candidate’s gaze is directed down in the darkness to an open grave. Inside are a human skull on a pair of crossed thighbones. The candidate is then told:

    “…Even in this perishable frame, there resides a vital and immortal principle, which inspires a holy confidence, that the Lord of Life will enable us to trample the King of Terrors beneath our feet, and lift our eyes to that bright morning star whose rising brings peace and tranquillity to the faithful and obedient of the human race.”

    The Worshipful Master indicates a small illuminated star to the east of the candidate.

    “He takes the three steps to the altar where he kneels for the third time, rests his hands on the Bible, square and compass, and takes the obligation of a Master Mason. He asks for further light in Masonry. He is brought to light by the Master of the lodge, and hoodwink and cable-tow removed. Thus he sees that both points of the compass are above the square. This is a symbol that with one who has reached this degree both aspects of the Thinker are operative above feeling-and-desire because feeling-and-desire have put themselves under the guidance of the Thinker. He receives the pass and grip of a Master Mason and wears his apron as a Master Mason, that is, with the flap and all corners down.”
    - Harold Waldwin Percival, Masonry and Its Symbols in the Light of ‘Thinking and Destiny’

    ….nonsense. There is no more illuminati! This newfound fascination with illuminati is some debunking bulls**t put out here by the detractors of True Neteru, to shun the people of the Sun away from anything that has to do with Egyptology/Kemetolgy
    …aka Khamiytic Science. Freemasons ain’t s**t! They have the power of a high-school fraternity with the knowledge (degrees) of a middle school science club. Get ya’ God degrees up!!!
