Then again, Muslims adhere to Abraham’s teaching. In the end, Christians, Jews and Muslims recognize each other as sister religions. With similar doctrines.”
There are two foremost hypotheses in the Five Percenter pedagogy. [1] Supreme mathematics and [2] Supreme Alphabets. I won’t go on record to say all Hiphop emcees are Five Percenters. Meaning if everyone has registered or if we all participate actively as members of the organization. What I can tell you is that we pull a significant part of Hiphop’s creed from this philosophy. Therefore, several Hip Hop personalities currently affiliated with the Five Percenters in one way or another. If one were to become a real Hip Hop emcee, they must also agree with most of these pedagogies.
Some Hiphoppas have registered as active members. Many Hiphoppas adhere to Christian and/or Jewish doctrine. It can be strenuous, religiously, for one to subscribe to predominantly Muslim doctrine. Then again, Muslims adhere to Abraham’s teaching. In the end, Christians, Jews, and Muslims recognize each other as sister religions. With similar doctrines. For example, as a Christian, I’m not a member of the Five Percent Nation. Those teachings have also influenced me.
The Pedigrees
In Supreme mathematics – [a] “Cipher is the circle” [like the freestyle cipher], [b] “all things in existence are culmination by being born”, [c] “the existence of a Supreme-Being and becoming your god in your universe”, [d] “the black man is “sic””, meaning he is original and without fault, a god supreme ruler of his universe like the sun, moon, and stars. The man is the sun, Woman is the moon and children are the stars”. We dictate our destiny. [e] “we build by elevating oneself through knowledge and positive thinking or destroy negativity.”
Hip Hop legends who proclaim Five Percenter ideology are: Nas, Wu Tang Clan, Poor Righteous Teachers, Rakim and Jay Electronica to name a few.
[f] attain “Equality” by teaching and gaining knowledge and wisdom; to be understood and to know is equality”, [g] “knowledge of Kulture is power translated to truth that inspires the energy of creation”i.e.: Beanie Sigel’s albums “The Truth” and “The Understanding”, [i] “Kulture is freedom, language or slang is wisdom and tradition is essence”, [j] “understanding is the completion of knowledge”, [k] “knowledge is light obtained by observing, learning, and respecting; to compile facts” and, [l] “wisdom is wise words spoken from a wise head. A wise dome is a wise mind.”
Some Great Examples
This is what Jay Z was saying when he called himself “Jay Hova.” According to Five-percenter teaching, he meant that he is the sun or god of his universe since he is a [sic] black man who is formed from the first people to exist. Several Hip Hop legends who have proclaimed Five Percenter philosophy include Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, Poor Righteous Teachers, Rakim and Jay Electronica to name a few. Moreover, A Tribe Called Quest, Brand Nubian, Sunz Of Man, Public Enemy and Gang Starr also pioneered this ideology. Furthermore, we have embedded in the cultural psyche. Also, KRS-ONE is one of the forefathers who initially stated these teachings. Again, to name just a few. For more info on this subject, visit the Urban Dictionary: *
