Jay-Z & the "Evils"

I'm planning on doing my research paper about the possibility that Jay-Z is a Freemason and that he is a "devil worshiper" and what not, as some people like to believe. I really don't believe this myself, but I find it very interesting that people make connections between the symbols and lyrics he uses throughout his career and the symbols that are associated with the Freemason society.

Claim: Jay-Z uses subliminal messages in his music and other aspects of his life and career to "corrupt"? his audience. He is heavily influenced by the Freemason society and the Illuminati.

Evidence: One of my sources is the song "D'Evils" off of his first album, aka the best album he's ever made, Reasonable Doubt. =] And other songs like "Lucifer". I can also use material on the Freemason society itself and compare the two.

Purpose: To see if this all makes sense and to possibly prove that it is not true?? To show that Jay-Z is not a devil worshiper =]

Audience: Hip Hop and Jay-Z fans, listeners of good music.

for someone who doesn't know Jay-Z, the premise that he is or could be a devil worshipper or that this is a claim or a problem or an issue is shocking (that it matters, i mean) and interesting. are there people who care about JAy-Z but not about this? where else do concern for these evils appear and why, i wonder? it sounds like a good start--is there a song (the lucifer one?) or an album in particular that you are going to use?
