    It's from when he was shot.
    "the shooting occurred in Ohio where RZA, Ghost, and their cohorts got it in doing what we assume were perfectly legal activities that did not involve any narcotics whatsoever."

    Face it, your race baiting bullshit doesn't work with me. Argue the content of what I have to say instead of trying to call me a racist and walk off like you won a debate.
    You're just deflecting everything off the whiteman to musilms. The new tactic used by SWS.

Allah (the man formerly known as Clarence 13X in the Nation Of Islam) broke away from the NOI for the sole purpose of reaching those that the NOI were not reaching...the youth in the street. So Clarence changed his name to Allah and started teaching the street youth that the black man is God and he called his first 9 students The 5 Percenters (based on the teachig that our ppl can be broken down in three percenteges (the 85% who are the blind, deaf and dumb majority that believe in a mystery God in the sky, the 10% who KNOW the truth but conceal it from the 85%, and finally the 5%...those who know AND teach the truth of the TRUE and LIVING God). The NOI (with their clean look, suits and bow-ties) appealed more to the older folk...they were not reaching the youth. So when Allah left the muslim temple and started teaching the youth in Harlem, he came to them as they were (similar to how in the Bible, Jesus came to the people AS the people). So Allah would be teaching the youth while smoking blunts with them and rolling dice with them. And thats the beauty of the 5%....each and every 5 Percenter is at a different stage in his growth & development compared to other 5 Percenters. There may be certain 5 Percenters engaged in illegal activities but they may still be at an early stage of their growth & development. Method Man is a perfect example... in the documentary he stated that he HATED selling that shit (crack) to his people. At that point in time he was young and first getting into the Knowledge so it at least gave him a sense of consciousness (knowing that what he was doing was wrong) where as someone without Knowledge doesnt have that sense of consciousness and responsibility. After getting a bit of Knowledge, Mef had a determined idea that he would NOT be selling crack to his people for much longer. I remember when I first got Knowledge Of Self, I would get teased by my homies like “cmon my nigga, is u seeiously leaving this shit” and my answer was always YES. And I eventually did. I got my shit together, went to school, and I have been working for the NYC Dept Of Education for 15 years now. And there are many other countless 5 Percenters who left the streets alone and went on to go to colege and get their degrees and become doctors, engineers, lawyers, ect. Are there 5 Percenters still engaged in street shit? Of course. But then there is also those 5 Percenters that are in the steets, doing their DUTY as 5 Percenters and teaching the youth in these streets. And by the way, you also mentioned in your post that ODB’s brother seems like a cool cat and let me tell you...Ramsey is one of the coolest dudes you can ever meet. Thats my dude right there.
    The teachings are a net positive. There's some ignorant ass shit in there, but for the most part your described the beauty of it perfectly. Moreover it gives people the tools to weed the bullshit out themselves. I think the NOI is more effective in teaching and actualizing it's teachings but they have the benefit of an overarching structure. With every secret doctrine someone always breaks out, brings it to the people as the people, and dies early as a result, and that's was 13x.

    The 5 percenter thing is pretty goofy (like all religions/baseless belief systems) but I get the context that it helped young black men build themselves up. And you see the Wu all grew out of it into students of the world, so it played its part.

    One thing I always thought was amusing is the percentages, its so arbitrary: 5%, 85% lol do you think Clarence or whoever actually did some research to get those figures? And then they're fixed? So nothings ever going to change anyway?

    Clarence frequented mental institutions, so that should probably be taken into account.

    Ya'll whites won't understand.
    Anyways I'm not surprised they're not fucking with Divine anymore, he's always been cited to not pay up the money. His name s always brought up. I was listening to some Dom Pachino and he even sneak dissed him "Paid the price got jerked, seen Divine each smirk"

    I can't tell if Divine was holding back money or if artists were being greedy. Like he gave Cappa his bonus money when he didnt have to (I doubt any other label would cough up that money). Really just he said she said at the end of the day.

    I did see a very recent pic of Divine hanging and laughin with the generals though. And Divine was the one that revealed the Wu-Tang District street sign. Maybe they squashed the beef then.

    You're a literally devil so you're worm like penis gland isn't going to allow you to learn. But when you finally get it removed, revisit this response

    13x didn't 'come up' with the teachings, he brought them from the Nation of Islam to regular people. The Nation it's self builds on a long tradition that goes back hundreds of years or slaves practicing Islam in secret as well as astrology and possibly free masonry.

    Literally everything about the 10% are accurate. That's usually the spread of any and everything. Wutang are still 5% because the 5% are poor righteous teachers. Divine is def 10% though.
