Title: Hip-Hop and Religion-list of 5%'s, Islam nation
Post by: infinite59 on October 27, 2001, 04:37:38 PM: Here's a list of Islamic rappers..... Islam can mean Muslim and can mean 5 percenters... according to 5% knowledge Islam is an acronym for (I Self Lord And Master).... Another term they use is I Master Allah Self Savior Universe. It has a different but similar meaning to orthodox Islam. (Muslims) 5 percenters believe that black man is God. Because the Black Man (asiatic) are the origional man. This doesn't disclude white people however, because they say white people can loose their "white mind" and still be white. If they have knowledge.

5 percenters-

Nas
AZ
Poor Righteous Teachers
Rass Kass (or atleast he uses 5 percenter knowledge in his rap)
Brand Nubian
Ghost Face
RZA
Leaders of the New School

Orthodox Muslims or most likely Black Muslims (Nation of Islam)

Big Daddy Kane
Common
Ice Cube
MC Rhen
Rakim
Intelligent Hoodlum/Tradegy
Public Enemy
KRS One- (although he could be a humanist, not sure)

Rastafarian rappers:
Lauryn Hill?
Lost Boyz

I've been researching this topic and I compilled this list using as little conjecture as possible, but I apologize if there are any mistakes.

Malcolm X was first a Black Muslim (Nation of Islam) as lead by the prophet Alijah Muhammad.... Then after his trip to Mecca he converted to an orthodox Muslim. (the prophet Muhammad, peace be unto him)

I don't know wich denomination Ice Cube is now, but after leaving NWA he joined the Nation of Islam. If he has now converted to an orthodox Muslim I'm not aware of it.

Nation of Islam (Black Muslims) is not traditional Muslim faith. Orthodox Islam is the oldest and most popular Muslim faith. (traditional)
