And to some degree, that's what the Wu has done. They have chosen music and the entertainment field as a platform to teach and deliver this message.
2. Many of the lines you have quoted are from their earlier stuff. Thats when they were young (both in age and in their studies). I'm young in my studies myself (I just turned 23). But everyday I grow as a person because that is the flow of the Universe, to gradually grow throughout time. U can see the evolution and growth of the Wu themselves (at least in their music, I dont know about their personal) from their first album (Enter The Wu) to their second abum (Wu-Tang Forever).
3. U cant feed a baby steak, u have to feed it baby food. Before teaching someone, I always try to adapt to their mental state, to figure out how I'm going to teach the person, because u cant teach everyone the same. When Allah (The Father, Clearance 13X) was teaching in the streets of Harlem, he came to those who rolled dice rollin dice himself. Just like Jesus, he hung around with the thieves, prostitutes, and killers because he knew that in order to teach and civilize them, he had to walk with them. Unlike these religions such as Christianity and Catholicism, which they try to force-feed their bullshit to u anf if u regect it, they have the fucking balls to "condemn u to hell" when they are some of the biggest murderers, adulterers, & rapists. I like to say "come to the people as the people" so if someone wants me to teach them but they rollin dice in the corner, I'm going to be right there rolling dice (however, there's a limit: I'm not going to kill nobody or sell poison to my people). In my humble opinion, thats why the Wu and other rappers who are "righteous" have certain subject matter, God. Because nobody wants to be preached to, u gotta come to them as they are.
Thanks to the God Allah Jihad for sharing his views.
I wish u success on the book, I been anticipating it.
PEACE.
