I come from the school I thought there's
0:03
just there's just some things that the
0:05
that the public just shouldn't know you
0:07
know what I'm saying like things that
0:09
happen between two people a wife and a
0:11
husband girl I just don't think that
0:13
it's for Mass consumption I just have
0:15
always felt that way and I just think
0:18
that the whole idea of celebrity and
0:21
fame has become really convoluted and
0:23
you know kind of bastardized like
0:25
whereas Fame used to be the byproduct of
0:27
success and now it's the ultimate goal
0:29
and you if you're if your ultimate goal
0:32
is to be famous then you're gonna do a
0:35
lot to do to get there like sign your
0:37
name in blood in a contract with the
0:39
devil like you're gonna end up in a
0:40
one-way Street
0:42
that's just the truth
0:44
so many people like forsake they're
0:47
they're moral code and their value
0:49
systems just for a little bit of Fame
0:51
and it's it's not worth it at the end of
0:53
the day it's really not worth
0:56
the household where all I ever did was
0:58
listen to gospel music and my parents
1:00
are both traveling ministers and so I
1:02
kind of sang about you know what was
1:04
going on in my life at 15 and that's how
1:07
I got introduced to the music Industries
1:09
I swear I wanted to be like the Amy
1:11
Grant of music yeah but it didn't work
1:14
out and so I it's almost like the devil
1:20
honestly too scared to stand up for
1:22
something they scared to lose their
1:24
[ __ ] house where they scared to lose
1:26
their record deal
1:32
I sold my soul to the devil I know it's
1:36
a crappy deal you should came with a few
1:40
toys like a Happy Meal
1:43
I uh
1:46
I'm gonna sell my soul
1:48
I'm gonna hit y'all when I'm through I'm
1:50
gonna be rich as hell all right all
1:52
right
1:53
[Music]
2:09
hey what's good everybody it's your boy
2:11
see through the script here back with
2:13
another video and this time I'm gonna be
2:15
exploring the very concept of selling
2:17
your soul AKA making a deal with the
2:20
devil from Western folklore to Modern
2:24
Day entertainment this concept has long
2:26
been displayed time and time again today
2:29
I want to discuss how the legend of
2:31
Faust and his deal with the Devil is
2:34
still relevant in modern times I figured
2:37
this video would be good clarification
2:39
to those who can't seem to wrap their
2:41
heads around the concept of a deal with
2:43
the devil but I'm mainly referring to
2:45
those who aren't in the realm of
2:47
conspiracy because I know most of you
2:49
tuning in already know what's up
2:51
now when it comes to Western folklore
2:53
there are many stories literary
2:55
characters and interesting creatures
2:57
however I want to focus on fao's story
3:00
as it ties into our present day before I
3:03
go any further I do want to clarify that
3:05
I'm not the final Authority on any
3:07
subject matter I discuss on my channel
3:09
I'm simply an outsider looking in trying
3:12
to piece together a never-ending puzzle
3:14
so needless to say always do your own
3:16
research never just take mine or anyone
3:19
else's word for a fact and always dig
3:21
deeper as every man and woman is prone
3:24
to air
3:25
to sum it up the best I can the story of
3:28
Faust started with him being raised by a
3:30
God-fearing Christian family Faust when
3:33
he was a teenager was sent to study
3:35
theology but supposedly strayed from
3:37
fulfilling this Godly purpose of his
3:39
only to fall back into it and Excel
3:42
beyond belief during this time Faust got
3:44
his hands on some knowledge from the
3:46
Chaldeans Persians Arabians and Greeks
3:49
he began to understand the world of
3:51
conjuring and sorcery however he also at
3:54
the time became very well versed in the
3:56
Holy scriptures and the laws of Christ
3:58
the thing with Faust though was that he
4:01
was very very curious he had begun
4:04
experimenting in an attempt to
4:06
communicate with Spirits what's
4:07
interesting is when Faust first
4:09
communicated with a devil or Spirit it
4:12
involved Faust using the power of a
4:15
circle to conjure the spirit this is
4:17
often something seen in Hollywood films
4:19
and TV when discussing Spirits or a
4:23
demonic entity typically a circle is
4:25
formed or drawn to bring about the
4:27
spirit anyways Faust was fascinated by
4:30
this interaction and wanted to make it a
4:32
more frequent thing however the spirit
4:34
would not simply return on his command
4:36
or at least not without any conditions
4:39
thus the second time Faust came in
4:41
contact with the spirit three things
4:43
were required of him first Faust would
4:46
agree to a certain number of years at
4:48
the expiration of which he would promise
4:51
and swear to be his the spirit's own
4:54
property secondly that he would to the
4:57
further confirmation thereof give
4:59
himself over with a writ to this effect
5:01
authenticated in his own blood thirdly
5:05
that he would renounce the Christian
5:07
faith and defy all believers should all
5:10
of these requirements be met all of
5:12
Faust's lust would be fulfilled now it
5:15
is said that when Faust called on this
5:17
spirit for the third time this time he
5:20
decided to ask for its name which it
5:23
answered with Mephistopheles also no
5:25
known as Mephisto Faust's infatuation
5:29
with Mephistopheles grew to the point
5:31
where he was ready to draw blood from
5:33
himself for Mephisto at which he did
5:36
from his left hand now not to get off
5:39
track but there is also the concept of
5:42
the left-hand path within Western
5:44
esotericism the left being associated
5:46
with the evil path it is often
5:49
associated with being the self-serving
5:51
path whereby the right-handed path is in
5:54
servitude with God the left-hand path
5:57
believes the self is the center of
5:59
Consciousness in short the left-hand
6:01
path is only concerned for themselves
6:04
whilst the right hand path is focused on
6:07
the good of all this only adds to the
6:10
story granted it was the left hand that
6:12
Faust chose to draw blood from now the
6:15
story gets a whole lot deeper and for
6:18
the sake of time I'm going to sum it up
6:20
even further but essentially Faust
6:22
wanted to get married but already
6:24
drawing his blood for method starfallies
6:26
and rebuking the word of God it was not
6:29
going to happen granted marriage was a
6:32
sacred Essence that was only to be
6:34
granted to those that are believers
6:36
which Faust clearly wasn't this is when
6:39
Mephisto AKA Satan got in his head and
6:42
reminded him of his devilish purpose
6:44
intrigued by this Faust fell even deeper
6:47
into his ways at this point the
6:50
relationship between Faust and Mephisto
6:52
was going great but upon calling on him
6:55
again he asked more questions and the
6:58
more he learned about Mephisto the more
7:00
he realized what he had done to his own
7:02
soul faos had become drowned in sorrow
7:05
and regret constantly wishing he hadn't
7:07
been so rebellious and arrogant against
7:10
God these thoughts came after Faust
7:13
learned more about the origins of
7:15
Mephisto and the Very dreaded place that
7:18
we refer to as hell Faust began to
7:21
realize that he had endangered his own
7:23
salvation by pledging himself to the
7:25
devil a game of festo the story
7:28
essentially ends with Faust trying to
7:30
find a glimpse of Hope to return to
7:32
God's grace and in doing so he would try
7:34
to contemplate the word of God only to
7:37
be deceived by the devil in the form of
7:39
a beautiful woman leading Faust to
7:42
quickly forget what he truly wanted in
7:44
return for temporal and worldly things
7:47
bear in mind there is a lot more to that
7:50
story that was just a brief summary for
7:52
you Western folklore Fanatics now with
7:55
all of that out of the way let's read
7:57
britannica's definition of a Faustian
8:00
bargain a Faustian bargain is a pact
8:03
whereby a person trades something of
8:05
supreme moral or spiritual importance
8:07
such as personal values or the soul for
8:11
some worldly or material benefit such as
8:14
knowledge power or riches the term
8:16
refers to the legend of Faust or Faustus
8:19
or Dr Faustus a character in German
8:22
folklore in literature who agrees to
8:25
surrender his soul to an evil spirit in
8:28
some treatments Mephistopheles or
8:31
Mephisto a representative of Satan after
8:34
a certain period of time in exchange for
8:36
otherwise unattainable knowledge and
8:39
magical powers that give him access to
8:41
all the world's Pleasures a Faustian
8:43
bargain is made with a power that the
8:46
bargainer recognizes as evil or immoral
8:49
Faustian Bargains are by their nature
8:51
tragic or self-defeating for the person
8:54
who makes them because what is
8:56
surrendered is ultimately far more
8:58
valuable than what is obtained whether
9:01
or not the bargainer appreciates that
9:03
fact
9:04
okay so before I explain how this
9:06
connects to the modern world allow me to
9:09
share a few Gematria related fonts first
9:12
it's important to know that Faust was
9:15
heavily involved in necromancy which is
9:18
the supposed practice of communicating
9:20
with the dead in order to predict the
9:23
future this is also referred to as
9:25
sorcery black magic and or witchcraft
9:28
notice necromancy witchcraft an illusion
9:32
all equals 666 illusion ties in because
9:36
that's all the devil deals in in
9:38
Illusions the illusion of riches the
9:41
illusion of Fame the illusion of
9:43
Happiness the definition of Illusion is
9:45
to be deceived by a false perception or
9:48
belief it's a trick on the mind which in
9:52
the story of Faust is clearly the case
9:54
granted he realized that all he got from
9:57
Mephisto was temporal things in exchange
9:59
for his own Eternal salvation what's
10:01
also interesting is that the devil that
10:04
Faust made his deal with went by the
10:06
name Mephistopheles also called Mephisto
10:10
which holds the value of
10:13
666. as mentioned before the number 666
10:16
is the 36th triangular number and notice
10:20
that the word demonic equals 36 in the
10:23
Molester Cipher but without further Ado
10:26
let me compare the story of Faust to the
10:28
story of none other than Jonathan
10:31
Lindale Kirk popularly known as the baby
10:35
the baby came into the game in a bizarre
10:37
way yearning for fame he decided to
10:39
label himself baby Jesus hailing from
10:42
North Carolina which is part of the
10:44
Bible Belt knowing this would generate
10:45
him some Buzz just off controversy alone
10:48
he continued to run with it until people
10:50
became more familiar with his name he
10:52
also got some attention around him
10:54
because he would actually wear a diaper
10:56
he even showed up to an interview in a
10:58
diaper he went to South by Southwest in
11:00
a diaper so yeah that's that's a whole
11:02
other thing however here originally
11:05
started putting out music in 2014 2015
11:09
gaining the attentions of labels around
11:12
2017-2018 but it was by 2019 that he
11:16
would achieve his wildest dreams of
11:18
signing to a major record label on
11:21
January 23rd of 2019. the babies signed
11:24
to Interscope Records in South Coast
11:26
music group and a partnership deal and
11:29
then he was granted his own imprint
11:31
through Interscope titled billion dollar
11:33
baby entertainment however here is when
11:36
the Faustian bargain really started to
11:38
take Play Just Like Mephisto had three
11:41
requirements of Faust it seemed that the
11:43
industry had the same for the baby now
11:46
remember the three requirements were
11:48
first give up your soul to the devil as
11:50
it will take ownership over you
11:53
secondly the act of taking Oath by Blood
11:55
and thirdly that he would renounce the
11:58
Christian faith and defy all believers
12:01
so let's go step by step and break this
12:03
down using the baby as the example when
12:06
it comes to the first step when an
12:07
artist signs to a label they are
12:10
essentially giving over ownership of
12:11
themselves and their brand now I really
12:13
shouldn't have to explain why these
12:15
labels are evil at heart but for those
12:18
curious check out my video 360 deals the
12:21
art of finesse where I discuss that in
12:23
depth however when you sign to a label
12:25
you are no longer the final authority of
12:28
what you say or do as you now represent
12:31
corporate sponsors and have brand deals
12:33
and they will dictate how you operate
12:36
within their industry granted they're
12:38
the ones who are paying you next the
12:40
signing of blood obviously I have no way
12:43
of knowing if that is something the baby
12:45
had literally done but he has given up
12:47
his blood in another way through the
12:49
blood sacrifices of family members as an
12:51
offering to the immoral bargain sooner
12:53
now I want to briefly read from the
12:55
Jesuit oath where it states in
12:58
confirmation of which I hereby dedicate
13:00
my life my soul and my Corporal powers
13:03
and with this dagger which I now receive
13:06
I will subscribe my name written in
13:09
blood in testimony thereof and should I
13:12
prove false or weaken in my
13:14
determination may my brethren and fellow
13:17
soldiers of the militia of the Pope cut
13:20
off my hands and my feet and my throat
13:23
from ear to ear ripped my belly open and
13:26
sulfur burn therein and all the
13:29
punishments that can be inflicted on me
13:31
on Earth and my soul be tortured by
13:34
demons in an eternal hell forever quite
13:37
gruesome but I read this to further
13:39
provide context to the idea of signing
13:42
one's name in blood to confirm an oath
13:45
in the baby's case it was the sacrifice
13:47
of his father now upon scraping the web
13:50
it's practically impossible to find a
13:52
source that clearly specifies the exact
13:55
date the baby's father died however
13:57
there are clear hints as the baby stated
14:00
that his album Kirk went platinum on the
14:04
same day that his father was killed a
14:06
year before mind you this album was
14:08
titled Kirk named after his father and
14:11
was released on September 27th of 2019
14:14
which is the day in history when the
14:16
pope of Rome officially recognized the
14:19
Jesuit order now looking at the riaa
14:22
website it states that his album Kirk
14:25
went platinum on April 19th of 2021 and
14:28
the baby posted an IG story stating that
14:31
his father died the same day this
14:33
happened which would have been roughly a
14:36
year and some change after his father's
14:38
death another clear hint that April 19th
14:42
was the day that he lost his dad comes
14:44
from an article on hot new hip-hop where
14:46
it states he let all of his emotions out
14:49
early this morning December 1st on his
14:52
Instagram story very first detailing how
14:54
his father's death impacted him as he
14:57
was blowing up as an artist quote one
14:59
month after I signed and dropped my
15:01
debut album baby on baby in 2019 my
15:05
little brother hit me and told me my
15:07
daddy was found dead in his crib and I
15:10
was the hottest rapper in the world
15:11
spending my entire breakthrough year
15:13
hurting behind a fake ass smile using my
15:16
hustle to block out how [ __ ] up I was
15:18
about my daddy dying unexpectedly end
15:21
quote now what's interesting is from the
15:23
release of the baby's debut album baby
15:26
on Baby released on March 1st of 2019 to
15:30
his father's death on April 19th of 2019
15:33
is a span of 49 days notice Kirk equals
15:38
49 which he later titled his second
15:40
studio album also April 19th of 2019 was
15:45
the 109th day of the year notice Kirk in
15:48
the Latin Cipher equals 109 alongside
15:51
the word tragedy now I don't have the
15:54
details of how his death transpired all
15:57
we know is that the baby's brother found
15:59
him dead at his crib the date his father
16:02
supposedly was killed also had primed
16:04
date numerology of 62. notice Faustian
16:07
bargain and the word sacrifice both
16:10
equal 62. remember the baby signed to
16:13
Interscope Records on January 23rd of
16:16
2019 and all of this suddenly transpired
16:20
in that same year but things only got
16:22
crazier for the baby as the devil will
16:25
only give as long as it's able to take
16:28
and take on April 17th of 2020 the baby
16:32
releases his third studio album titled
16:34
blame it on baby an eerie name for what
16:37
was to come exactly 201 days later which
16:41
would be November 3rd of 2020 the baby
16:44
found out his older brother Glenn
16:46
Johnson had committed suicide at the age
16:48
of 34. now remember the baby's second
16:51
album was released on the the day in
16:53
history that the Jesuits were recognized
16:55
by the Pope in Rome but notice how the
16:58
Jesuit connections pop up again in
17:00
regards to the 201 note the Jesuit order
17:04
Ignatius of Loyola who is the founder of
17:06
the order and Jorge Mario bergoglio the
17:09
first ever openly Jesuit Pope in the
17:12
Vatican all equal 201 the connections
17:16
honestly just go on and on however
17:18
earlier I mentioned how the baby's
17:20
father Kirk died 49 days after the
17:23
release of his first album baby on baby
17:26
well the baby's brother died 49 days
17:30
before the baby's birthday and notice it
17:33
was after the release of his album
17:35
titled blame it on baby which also
17:38
equals 49. now this was ultimately the
17:42
baby's second blood offering to the
17:44
immoral bargainer being the labels but
17:46
like Faust the baby still had a third
17:48
requirement that needed to be fulfilled
17:50
which was to denounce his Christian
17:52
faith and defy all believers and in all
17:56
honesty some could argue that he was
17:58
already doing that by calling himself
18:00
baby Jesus however in 2022 the baby in
18:04
his label took it to a whole new level
18:05
on August 9th of 2022 the Baby released
18:09
the single titled tough skin for his
18:12
album baby on baby too but if I'm not
18:14
mistaken you won't see it listed
18:16
anywhere on the album and I believe this
18:18
is due to the sheer backlash of the song
18:21
but mainly the music video in particular
18:23
leading to them removing it off the
18:25
album now I can't really confirm that
18:27
part or that decision but it just seems
18:29
like the most logical thing at this
18:31
point here you can see a bunch of people
18:33
dressed like mannequins wearing red
18:35
suits also no red represents blood or a
18:39
sacrifice and they are surrounding the
18:41
baby as he is hung on the cross while
18:44
they blow a flamethrower atom
18:46
essentially representing himself as
18:48
Christ not even essentially he literally
18:51
is looking at the comments for this
18:53
video it's literally filled with
18:55
Believers of Christ rebuking the song I
18:58
mean if this doesn't fall in line with
19:00
the devil's command of Faust which was
19:02
to denounce Christianity and defy all
19:05
the Believers I really don't know what
19:06
else is
19:08
now similar to Faust and his later
19:10
battles with himself and the fact that
19:12
he gave up his
19:14
eternal salvation for world to gain the
19:16
baby was quickly experiencing the price
19:19
of his worldly games although the baby
19:21
is obviously not dead many believe that
19:24
his career is since his major rise in
19:27
2019 2020 his albums began getting lower
19:31
and lower scores fans were growing tired
19:34
of his flow and he was being canceled
19:36
for some comments he made towards the
19:38
lgbtq community basically that sensation
19:42
of blissful Fame was seemingly coming to
19:45
an end now in 2023 although we're only
19:48
so many days in the narrative has yet to
19:50
change surrounding the baby and that all
19:53
of his songs sound the same and people
19:55
aren't so eager to buy into his image
19:57
and sound as they once were which Bears
20:00
the question of whether the baby's
20:02
bargain with the devil was ever worth it
20:05
sure he received several platinum album
20:08
problems chart topping achievements
20:10
alongside the money Fame and women but
20:14
it was all at the expense of his family
20:16
members and the mockery of his and other
20:19
people's Faith only to have been
20:21
blackballed from the music industry and
20:23
end up at a point where people care very
20:26
little to see him and the label will
20:28
most likely shelve him until God knows
20:30
when now in the story of Faust he had
20:34
realized all of his wrongdoings and
20:36
tried to repent but anytime he tried the
20:38
devil would tempt Faust with temporal
20:40
things which would lead him astray again
20:42
essentially I'm drawing the parallels to
20:45
the Western folklore Legend of Faust and
20:48
how his story is extremely similar to
20:50
celebrities of the modern world
20:52
specifically choosing the baby for this
20:54
video but needless to say there are
20:57
hundreds of other celebrities I could
20:59
have chosen to draw this comparison on
21:01
from Kanye West losing his mother my mom
21:04
ain't here my mama was sacrificed my
21:07
mama was sacred advice
21:09
to Jennifer Hudson damn near losing her
21:12
whole family the list goes on however I
21:15
hope at this stage of the video you now
21:17
further understand the concept of one
21:19
selling their soul often times people
21:21
outside of the realm of conspiracy think
21:24
that this is a fallacy or just simply
21:27
not realistic however little do they
21:29
truly realize what the act of selling
21:32
your soul is actually like lastly I want
21:34
to clarify that the Faustian bargain
21:37
doesn't solely mean that you have to
21:39
sacrifice a family member or a friend
21:41
again it can be something of spiritual
21:43
importance such as your morals or faith
21:46
meaning you humiliate yourself for money
21:48
or make a mockery of your faith for
21:51
wealth but anyways y'all hopefully you
21:53

21:55

21:57
