September 20, 2009 - At this point, the only pop-cultural event that could possibly upstage Jay-Z‘s new album, The Blueprint III, is Dan Brown’s new book, The Lost Symbol.

In an interview with Guy Raz, Horowitz pointed to Jay-Z’s use of the phrase “Peace God” as an allusion to the Five Percenters.
