Main thing I disagree with the 5%ers about is their sexism... woman is always in second place, symbolically a woman is 6 (not quite perfect) and man could reach to 7 (perfection). "Earths" must always obey their "gods" etc. Other than that nuff of their teachings make sense to me.
The best distillation of 5% ideology I could think of is the album "New World Order" by Poor Righteous Teachers, an absoutely classic album.
Wu-Tang, Brand Nubian, Nas and many other hip hoppers also are inspired by this ideology to one degree or another. In fact 5% concepts are totally pervasive in hip hop culture even amongst those who do not subscribe to the full 5% worldview. Eg. "cipher" for a group of emcees freestyling in a circle (360 degrees)... emcees battling each other is both "building" and "destroying" in one... destroying one another in order to build one another's skills... like a martial arts tournament.
Acknowledgements to Bro. Khalif Supreme Allah for breaking down many 5% concepts to me.
