Buckshot just dropped a phenomenal interview explaining Mathematics and takes a shot at Popa Wu and Wu-Tang for never preaching it correctly.
WTC's 5 Percenter teachings is what really attracted me to them more than the kung fu or grimy swag. But the more I learned about it, the more obvious it became how un-Islamic it is. Buckshot explains how 5 Percenters were just Nation of Islam Muslims teaching the same "lessons" in a simpler, numeric form to young street kids. I've heard Lord Jamar give a way more dumbed down and wrong explanation of that, saying it was the same lessons minus the Islam for real street niggas. That never made any sense to me and its because he's totally wrong.
Brand Nubian and Wu Tang too really don't promote Islam at all, but borrow random phrases basically to excuse nigga shit they do. ODB was the biggest victim of that, I hate to say because he's my favorite. Can't speak for all of them, but you know which ones. Raekwon to me took it the most seriously by evolving to become a true Muslim. Ghost too, even tho I doubt he takes it seriously at all.
RZA most of all will ramble off Popa Wu-style nonsense about knowledge and being God but in the Wu-Manual says he's not a Muslim or Buddhist. I'm telling y'all he's a Kabbalist like every other millionaire in entertainment. Kabbalah is basically the same thing, saying everyone is God, but putting Jews first. Thats what inspired the NOI's own racist version of Islam. Freemasonry = Gentile Kabbalism and NOI was born out of Freemasonry.
BTW, I don't support the NOI but the Divine Lessons or whatever that the Mathematics is based on is actually taken from real Islam.

Its funny pretentious-ass RZA rejects Islam and Buddhism after making a fortune pretending to be into them, because Mathematics comes from both
"If you gon' spread Mathematics, spread it RIGHT!"
