aidkoum mabrouk! peace&love to all
The member of the 5 percent nation of Islam are not muslim, they claim them self to be god. Since I have learn about that i don't listen to these rappers anymore. It's difficult for me to know who are the members of this sect because I don't understand english very well.
I would appreciate if someone can post a list with the rappers who are 5%.

Scarface is a Muslim, believe that!
I posted an article and interview about him being Muslim in the Train of Thought section a few months ago, you can use the dubc search engine and find it. I'm on my cell phone internet or I would pull it up for you now. I have Muslim friends from Texas that know him personally.

Aid Mubarak to all Muslim on this forum!
I'm muslim too.
I know about this 5 percent but it's a bullshit, I saw it on Oz lol Just remember wit Kareem Saïd etc... When a fuckin fool came with the nickname of "Supreme Allah" i'ts crazy if this sect really exist.
Just imagine a Christian with the nickname "Supreme God" or "Supreme Jesus" it's crazy!
-
Nation of Islam
Tray Dee
MC Ren
JT the Bigga Figga
Tray Deee joined with the NOI but hes a regular muslim now. too bad him and other muslims are in the pen.

Eid Mubarak to all Muslims im christian but have many muslim friends and respect and agree with alot of their views
isnt ghostface muslim?
and i think scarface converted to muslim cause i think i read an interview with him where he said he still believes and god and everything he previously said in songs and stuff, just that jesus christ isnt the savior or something like that can anyone confirm?
-
so as
DJ WARRIOR
JIHAD

Freeway went to Hajj in Mekkah last year and he has and talks about it in an interview in a recent XXL.
And as for Nas the reason why I listed him as being AFFILIATED with the 5% Nation Of Islam sect is because his lyrics are so heavily influenced by 5% idealogy. The 5%'s believe that the black man was the origional human being and that the first discoveries of civilization were on the Nile (Ancient Egypt) and you can't get a dark offspring from a light person but you can get light from dark. Therefore, all subsequent generations and races were CREATED by the black man, thus a quality of God is being Creator so you hear Nas calling other black men and himself "God" on many of his records. The fact that he says this so often is proof enough of his affiliation to the 5% percenters.
Universal Islam teaches that the only thing worthy of worship is the origional Creator of all things and that he is infinite, eternal, has no beggining or end, and can not be compared to anything within his creation. So obviously, Universal Islam and the 5% percenters (who understand I.S.L.A.M. = to mean I Self Lord And Master) have a different understanding in the most fundamental principal in Islam.
Also, about Nas, his real name, Nasir, was given to him by his father. His father is an orthodox Muslim and follower of Imam W. D. Muhammad's leadership (falls under the category of universal Islam). The 5th to last chapter in the Qu'ran is named "Nasir" (which means "help" in English) and the last chapter of the Qu'ran is called "Nas" (which means mankind in English).
But anyway Nas wasn't raised by his Muslim father he was raised by his Christian mother. Then later as a teeneager he was influenced by his favorite rapper Rakim whom he made a dedication track to in Streets Disciple saying he could "make a Christian change to Islam".
-
I tought to write " Lost Children Of Babylon" but the way of Islam they live is similar to El Kaida's way... So i dont wanna call them Muslim... Because El Kaidaa also cannot be muslim... They are killing innocent people in the name of Allah and it's one of the worst sins in Islam. I dont wanna open a discuss about El Kaide is an emperialist project. It takes along time :) I wanna say LCOB is a great rap band. Their music and style is really dope. But i dont like the way they thinkin!
-
Yeah I think Nas is maybe like the 5th percent. He claimed himself to be "God Son" he made an album with this name... It's like he is claiming to be Jesus... Because many people said Jesus was black.
But in Islam the colour mean nuthin', we all the same n' if you don't agree with that, I can't help you.
-
I believe RBX is muslim too, though I have no idea what particular sect within the religion.

if you listen to his earlier work before the documentary he relates to it quite frequently..plus is sons middle name is quaran and he recently grew a long ass beard and wore a muslim scarf in the hustlers video
-
Goodie Mob? They do have that 1 song "Inshallah", but I've never noticed any other indication that they might be muslim. Some of their other songs seem rather evangelical, in fact. I realize I may be misinformed, but I thought the way Islam gains new converts is by sticking a weapon in their face and saying something along the lines of, "Convert to Islam or die".

Daaaamn, (if it's actually true), I had no idea so many of those guys are 5 percenters!!! I only remember seing Lord Jamar on "Oz" where he played Supreme Allah who was a 5%.

i don't know if hes still a Muslim though... by the way on the track 'Scream On Em' on Docs Advocate, in the intro someone says Ashadualla-ilaha-ilallah.. i dont know if they're taking the piss or probably Game is really a Muslim...

maybe u might wanna dig a little deeper then, it doesnt matter how u convert to islam because if you dont believe then god wont accept the facade.

Bayram Mubarek.

They also read the Muslim prayer called Suratal Fatihah (The Opening) on the album "Still Standing", Muslims will know what I'm talking about cause we have to say it five times a day, everytime we pray. It's the opening chapter of the Qu'ran, and lays down the foundation for our belief.
All praise to Allah
Lord of all the systems of knowledge
Most Merciful the Most Beneficient
Master of The Day Of Judgement
You alone we worship
You alone we ask for help
Keep us on the straight path
The path that earns your favor
Not the path that earns your wrath.
