Ever since the video for Jay-Z's "On To the Next One" with Swizz Beatz met the world, all sorts of rumors have recirculated as to whether or not Hov was affiliated with the Illuminati. "On To the Next One" wasn't the first time Jay's been accused, as rappers like Prodigy have suggested it in the past which led to the dissection of Jay-Z's career. Since it takes just a few pyramids and dollar bills to be considered Illuminati these days, we've come up with the divine top 6 rappers (and one pop icon) who peak on our Illuminati radar. Hit the jump for the chosen few. *Please note: This is purely for humor purposes. Don't start studying your lunch money to decipher rap lyrics.


1. Lil Wayne
The fact that this man hasn't slipped into a sizzurp-induced coma is reason alone for wondering what sort of divine affiliation is keeping him preserved. What's with all the body writing, Wayne? Why do you kiss your daddy? Rumor has it "A Milli" was supposed to spell "Illuminati" backwards, but Wayne didn't know how to spell it. Illima, Illuminati; we got what you were saying, Weezy.


2. Madonna
Another one who is too well-preserved to not be connected. Maybe she's not a rapper, but Madonna has been the half-cousin of Hip-Hop for a while now. With a jacket like this (rocking the Eye of Ra) plus previous accusations, maybe she's part of the crew too. Besides, do we really know what Kabbalah is?


3. T.I.
No one with that many guns gets out of jail that fast. While T.I.'s career isn't full of occult innuendos, we can't help but wonder what that hat cocked to the side like Adebisi represents. Maybe it's the position of the sun and his hat points to it so his Illuminati brethren know exactly where he is at all times! Maybe it's just the only angle the hat stays on *Kanye shrug*. Speaking of Kanye...


4. Kanye West
Who else in the entire world could speak so ill of America's sweethearts George W. Bush and Taylor Swift and get away with it? Unscathed by any public ranting episode or fashion faus pax, Kanye West appears to have the special shield surrounding him. Plus, we're not fully convinced Amber Rose is human, given how none of her shades are transparent and we think she can walk through walls.


5. Lil' Kim
See what happened here was Lil' Kim used to be in the Illuminati, but she decided to leave. Since you technically can't leave once you sign up, Kim decided to completely change her face from how she used to look so they wouldn't find her. Terrific job, Kim. We barely recognize you.


6. Chad Hugo
Chad Hugo rarely speaks, and when he does it's in sound. He's originally from the Neptunes, which by title alone means they are from another planet. The way his compadre Pharrell can just remove a body full of ink shows they must know somebody important. Plus that Star Trak symbol is an upside down pyramid. We see you, playboys. We see you.


7. Bushwick Bill
This pint sized rap veteran shot out his eye leaving one, like the back of a dollar bill. Plus, and correct us if we're wrong, but Bill is the exact height of a dollar bill. Coincidence? We think not.
