2022-12-12 04:54:55 +0000 UTCThis is a good sum-up. The Five Percent Nation is the same as the Nation of Gods and Earths, which came up when I was explaining Ka's use of the word "wiz" (wisdom, meaning woman). Whole books could be written about the influence of 5% Nation on hip hop in NYC (and beyond).

2022-12-09 23:59:44 +0000 UTCThe Wu Tang members are a part of the 5% nation. It’s basically an offshoot of Islam, they aren’t Christians but believe there is truth in both the Bible and Quran, where they believe there is one ultimate God and that every man is a mini god, that’s why they refer to each other as god. And that the world is broken up as 85% of the people are deceived and controlled by the 10% in power, and that 5% are aware and fight the wicked 10%.

2022-12-09 23:16:53 +0000 UTCLiquid Swords = The Tongue That’s the theme of this album. They are using their tongue/words as weapons to fight other MC’s, the system, religion, crooked police, poverty and crime. The setting and theme of the album is dark and cold like metal or steel. And their words/verbal steel/swords are countering the cold dark reality. Steel vs steel in a sense.

2022-12-09 19:12:24 +0000 UTCperfect winter album. hope you get to the other Wu albums from the era too, their run in the 90s is possibly the most legendary hip hop run ever. I would say Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx would be the next one to check.
