Paranoid Activity: Prodigy x Rick Ross

Remember that Prodigy line off the remix of “I Shot Ya,” where he said “Illuminati want my mind, soul, and my body,” P raps on the LL Cool J track. “Secret society trying to keep their eye on me.”

Today MASS APPEAL brings you the premiere episode of Paranoid Activity, a new video series hosted by Prodigy himself. Asking the questions others are afraid to address, Paranoid Activity fearlessly delves into all those ominous conspiracy theories you’ve always wondered about, but never had the guts to investigate.

P is hardly the first rapper to be fascinated by the arcane machinations of these clandestine organizations that are said to pull the strings behind the scenes. Ever since 1776, when professor Adam Weishaupt established the Order of the Illuminati, the secret society has exuded a strange mystique, given its ties to the Freemasons and fondness for arcane Rosicrucian rituals.

In the hip hop era, rumors have circulated that certain music moguls—like Shawn “Jay Z” Carter, for instance—have expanded their empires by making a deal with the Devil and harnessing supernatural forces by harnessing the power of the dark arts.

Paranoid Activity brings these furtive whispers out of the shadows and into the light for the good of all mankind. In today’s episode, P welcomes Miami rap icon Rick Ross, whose ninth studio album Rather You Than Me further solidified his standing as one of the greatest MCs of our time.
