The Nation of Gods and Earths?


Who are the Five Percenters in Hip Hop today? They were much more visible in the early to mid 90's.

I know groups like Wu Tang and Brand Nubian were,but im wondering about some younger artist.

I'm not sure if Common is, but a lot of his lyrics do touch on their beliefs.
Oh, nearly forgot, Busta Rhymes and The Roots.

I don't know of any who are now... But I know plenty that were.

Black Star weren't five percenters....Mos Def is a Sunni Muslim...and Talib Kweli well he believes in all 3 Monotheistic religions...basically he believes in 1 God.. so keep them out of it...i think they just realized that that five percent nation thing is bull ****...like Allah means .. Arm Leg Leg Arm Head ....when most of us know that Allah is the name of the one and only god aka Jehova ...the whole idea just pisses me off...even though ironically enough most rappers that were including Nas had a more intelectual vibe to their raps...you would think them being that smart they could see through the bull ****....well all i know is Nas isn't a 5 percenter anymore...think Rakim still is since his name is Rakim Allah.....which pretty much is blasphemy..thats enough for one day
