Michael Jackson, DMX & Tupac - dead artists, dead reputations. True or false?

Updated: Dec 14, 2021

There is a hard truth we need to acknowledge when it comes to the music industry: in order to become famous, I mean REALLY famous, the artist must be willing to sell his/her soul. For those who do, talent is only a detail. They might have a natural talent or they might be given a famous hit once they ‘sign in’.


This is nothing new. Let’s think about Mozart real quick. He is to this day a money machine. He sells more records in Austria than any big pop trash. When you go to Salzburg, there is Mozart chocolate, Mozart liqueur, Mozart Cafe, Mozart this, Mozart that… oh, there is the music as well.


Have you ever wondered how a guy who lived only 35 years managed to have time to learn music, several instruments and compose 41 amazing orchestras? ‘He was a genius’ you may say. Sorry, but human intelligence has a limit. The reason his story is so hard to believe is because it’s probably not true! Robert Newman made a throughout analysis and his theory is astonishing: Newman claims that maybe only half a dozen of the pieces attributed to Mozart are actually his (and not even the best ones, btw). The other ones were composed by several other musicians. Mozart was a name built to become famous, probably by his Freemason bros.


And the reason I’m bringing Mozart up, is to call your attention to the point that 90% of what we believe is probably a lie. Too much? Maybe, but allow me to elaborate.


As mentioned earlier, in order to become truly famous, one must 'dance with the devil'. While the connections of some famous artists with the occult is well known - The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Lady Gaga, Eminem, etc. - it's not always easy to identify how deep darkness can go to put a spell on us. Many artists with real talent fall in the trap of money and fame. As long as they are willing to play the game, their lives in this fallen world will be fine (not sure afterwards ;)). But those who realize they are being used for something very fucked up and try to get out... well, these guys might hit the news in a not very good light. Hip hop shows it very well.


Hip hop is an interesting phenomena. When I lived in DC in 2003, I was shocked to see how famous hip hop was in the land of Guns and Roses and Metallica. I was only 23 years old and felt like a weirdo going to empty concerts of 'music legends' for me. I was also the youngest in the audience in most of the concerts I attended back then. Reality hit me: The youth of the 2000’s likes hip hop, just like the youth of the 80 liked hairbands and the youth of the 90’s liked grunge. Why is that? because that’s the music the masters want youth to consume – all while we think we are rebels making our own choices, oh well.


And visuals are a strong tool to bring us to think any music style is ‘cool’. Let’s take hip hop as an example. If you pay attention to the music videos, the thematic repeats ad nauseam: black dudes (+ Eminem) are rich and famous and have ‘bitches’, throw money, they have expensive cars and they’re all bad ass. Women on the other hand shake their ass like a snake with diarrhea and sing wtf lyrics. For the marginalized black youth, hip hop is sold as a pump in self esteem and a way to vent frustration. For white kids? Well, they will mindlessly follow whatever plays non-stop on MTV and the radio. If you let kids watching TV, you are welcoming Satan to tell them what to worship.


Shall we remember MTV in their early days? They refused to play Michael Jackson because he was black! The first hit they accepted to play was Billie Jean. Michael Jackson's story is one of the saddest ones in the music industry and the character assassination he went through should be enough to get everyone suspicious of what this industry wants to feed us.


As a recap in case you’re too young to remember, Michael Jackson grew up in a big family and became a star in the music group with his brothers and was exploited by his father from an early age. For those who know what MK Ultra means, we can see that Michael was probably a mind slave. After Jackson 5 was milked enough, Michael started his solo career and the breakthrough was ‘Thriller’, a music video (and movie) FULL of symbolism. Thriller was for Michael an initiation, a ritual of transformation. He mentioned in interviews that his vitiligo (which cause his skin to get white) started after Thriller. This is no coincidence.



Apparently Michael woke up and started getting independence from his satanic handlers. He could not be so obvious, but he wrote songs like ‘They don’t really care about us’ (with an amazing video clip in Brazil) and ‘Black and White’. Black and White's music video has a 4 min part censored for ‘sexual content’. Watching the censored clip, you will not find anything more sensual than Elvis Presley, but once you pay attention, you can definitely see that Michael is giving a message and breaking up with his masters.


His mistake was growing bigger than what he was supposed to. His image was too powerful and he used it for the good. We can definitely see similarities with Diana's story, no wonder Michael and the princess were friends. Michael became a voice for the poor and also for the black community, without the hypocrisy we see today. He was a message of unity rather than the current trend of division.



Then his nightmare began: the abuse accusations. The character assassination is only one step before the murder of the body. The accusations against Michael were never proved and still his name was dragged in mud in a so called ‘investigation’ of almost 20 years. Does that mean I want to say children are not abused in the world? Oh no, sadly they are... by the millions! By the most important people and artists you can think of. And still you will not hear about it, or only after they are dead, like Jimmy Savile's case. Still, when it comes to Michael, even after his death there was never certainty of the accusations and you can chose to believe that someone was covering for him and that could be the case, but unlike the Catholic church, this guy had his life turned upside down with the press on it like hyenas. I think we will never know for certain, but what I know for sure is that what we are led to believe is 100% of the time not true. Michael Jackson died in 2009 when he was only 50 years old and in super weird circumstances.


Now let’s park Michael for a minute and talk about another famous musician by the name DMX. DMX died in April 2021 ‘coincidentally’ also when he was 50 years old this is not the only thing similar to Michael’s story.


I’m by no means a hip hop expert, but it’s well known that DMX was a huge hip hop star and initially full in with the music industry; the vicious music videos, the ‘bitches’, the money. Until he woke up to the fact that he was a slave. And so he decided to speak up about ‘the industry’. Not surprisingly, soon later he was arrested for drug possession. When he was arrested the press was there before he arrived just to make sure he was filmed. So he does time and converts to Christianity. During his jail time, he gave an interview where he says something interesting: ‘don’t judge me before you know me, don’t think you know me and don’t believe what you read, what you hear on TV’. DMX was a victim of the game he signed up for.


Once out of jail, he composed a beautiful song called ‘Lord give me a sign’ and other Gospel songs. His last album is called ‘Exodus’. DMX was not perfect, like none of us are, but he tried to talk about the Word in a way that reached his audience.


In April this year DMX died of ‘overdose’. Have you ever wondered why so many artists die of apparent suicide and overdoses? While many do indeed have a hard time living with themselves after the pact and end up taking their lives, there is a significant number of cases we should question if the official story is really true or if they were ‘taken out of the way’ for saying the truth to a big audience.


Tupac was another example of artist who suddenly fell from the industry ‘grace’ when he started speaking up. Tupac was the son of a homeless crackhead and he tried to make his music a way to bring awareness to what his community went through when BLM was not yet a thing. He was accused of rape and even without any evidence, he was sent to jail and his reputation was over. Tupac was murdered when he was only 25 years old.



With all this extra stressin' The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath When will I finally get to rest through this oppression? They punish the people that's askin' questions, And those that possess steal from the ones without possessions The message I stress: to make it stop, study your lessons Don't settle for less, even the genius asks his questions Be grateful for blessings, don't ever change, keep your essence The power is in the people and politics we address Always do your best, don't let the pressure make you panic And when you get stranded And things don't go the way you planned it Dreamin' of riches, in a position of makin' a difference Politicians are hypocrites, they don't wanna listen If I'm insane, it's the fame made a brother change It wasn't nothin' like the game, it's just me against the world


These are only a few sad stories of poor black men catapulted to fame and gone too soon. One day in their past, they received an offer that probably sounded too good to be true. It was. Make no mistake: in the contract to go big in the music industry, one must sign with their own blood and getting out usually means death.


Does that mean we should not listen to their music? My opinion is that while music can be harmless when you’re strong spiritually, we should be mindful of what we consume and aware that music opens an important sensorial channel (hearing). Yahuah asks us to pay attention to our senses meaning we absorb what we see and what we listen. Mainstream music becomes mainstream for a reason.


Let's be vigilant!
