The whole hood was on that stuff back in the day you couldn't escape it.
You just repeated yourself. Ok Elijiah Muhammad was given The Supreme Wisdom but what does "Elijah Muhammad also promoted the HolyQuran which stresses to submit ones will to Allah" have to do with what we are talking about, if in fact Clarence 13X did have differences with The Nation? You seem to be implying that the teachings in NOI and 5%er are 1:1? If so, why the need to separate into a different group?
No disrespect but I could honestly care less about being allowed in the cypher. As I said earlier, 5% philosophy is for a certain group of people who may need those teachings to reach their full potential here on Earth. I'm not one of those people.
Knowledge is substance, but it isn't the only way to have substance in your raps. You don't have to kick knowledge to have music of value.
I wasn't disagreeing breh.

I agree, but I don't think that Nas and Prodigy for example, were like KRS (Kicking knowledge), the 5% lingo were more references that gave their raps a bit more nuance. It showed that they drew from their environment and put that into their music, which is good artistry I think.
There are artist that still do this in abundance.
