So sad that hip hop never veered more in this direction. This song impacted my entire outlook in life, history, race, religion and self perception as a teenager.
ME TOO HEART BREAKING SONG THE FIRST TIME I ATE ACID I KEPT HEARING THIS SONG IN MY HEAD AND IT WAS FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH AND FOR YEARS AFTER WE ATE ACID ON FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH AND THIS WAS RIGHT AFTER ONE OF MY FRIENDS KILLED THE OTHER ONE AFTERNOON WERE WAITING RAPCITY WATCHING A TUPAC VIDEO OF HIM IN A GRAVEYARD AND TUPAC GOT SHOT DAYS BEFORE AFTER THE VIDEO WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE THAT was sad then all of a sudden My Friends Sister came in screaming and crying and said our Friend Got SHOT From our other friend so terrible and I so many terrible sad things like that happen To Me And too many Friends
Given the time and the fact that material like this wasn’t really explored at the time, I don’t think so. But just my opinion. And yes I’m a white guy lol.
wow!! i aint listened to this in friggin agesss! this beat will never get old will never die this is Real music to ur ears!!!! Shabazz is one of the Realest mcs ever
THIS SONG WOKE ME UP 23 YEARS AGO, Even though I've transcended the doctrine of the Nation of Islam and Nation of Gods and Earths, I thank Allah for this song!
I cry tears of joy because the truth is speaking to me, it covers the pain every single time. Probably my favorite musical master piece and gem to keep me on track. Peace to Shabazz.. the message and this beat iz soul cold 🥶 🔥 ✊🏾 💯 thank you! Crime saga impeccable too!! Peace God 🖖🏽
5% doctrine is not racist, even Clarence 13X had a whitebwoy down with him which he named Azrael(John Kennedy). As long as you treat another person, regardless of race, religion as an equal then it is your duty to treat them back the same way. When someone disrespects you with not giving you the same rights as they would for themselves then don't expect no love in return! Shabazz needs to come with a new album!! Book of Shabazz was SICK.
I play this here & there over the years but his interview recently with Doggie Diamonds has me playin it like crazy .. this was next level right here 💪💯
That's why so many artists today put out gimmicks they call rap when it's really R&B (rap and bullshit). Everything recycles itself, I'm confident hip hop will come back to its roots. Underground forever! Peace!
Listening to sunz of man joints at a time when Wu tang was on top, they were different . The songs were underground played on wnyu ny 89.1 I loved these songs. Crime saga and conscience of sin. Death be the penalty sums up 90s hardcore underground rap are timeless classics. Shabazz was the verbal assassin.
A definite top 25 all time rap video. Definitely a top teer emcee....Shabazz The Disciple was actually one of the many rap disciples of Seti Jakada aka Seti Amun Ra Jakada. They had the NY underground conscious rap community on lock
One of the best song in hip hop, that righlty portrays slavery and its affiliated tragedies.. I guess he was part of the Nation of Islam and a 5 percenter as well..
"I hear the snap of my great great grandfather's neck in a noose, hangin from a fuckin tree whipped-in mentally abused, visions of great great cousins Runnin across the field, unarmed Ran down, and killed I be the star to dispel the darkness Cast upon your soul by inhabitants of Mount Caucus Who praise the dead, and not the true and living Killed Jesus and said, that he died for their religion" This is sublime rapping and writing.
After returning from a cross country trip around the USA from the U.K. having visited Mosque Maryam in Chicago, this track cemented my spiritual consciousness and changed my thought pattern for ever. I give thanks to almighty Allah for guiding me and hearing the words of Minster Farrakhan for that I will always be eternally grateful, I also would like to thank Shabazz the Disciple for this track making me acknowledge that this system is bigger than I could have ever imaged
