Clarence 13X, founder of the Five-Percent Nation, is credited with a massive influence on hip-hop culture and youth pride. Moe shares a personal story of meeting "Gods" on a Greyhound bus as a child and how their message of self-knowledge resonated with him. The segment traces this influence through artists like Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, and Nas, who embedded Five-Percenter "science" into their music.
Minister Farrakhan breaks down the Five-Percenter math: 85% are the "dumb, deaf, and blind" masses, 10% are the "bloodsuckers of the poor" who manipulate them, and 5% are the "poor righteous teachers." Farrakhan identifies the United States government as the number one bloodsucker of the poor. The hosts discuss the duty of the 5% to tell the truth to the masses.
A clip from "The Players Club" features Bernie Mac's character giving a comedic, fictionalized history of stripping, claiming it originated in Africa and was exploited by white men. The hosts use this to transition into the real historical exploitation of Black women's bodies in Europe.
