I’d be curious... it’s possible that since most people don’t understand Arabic that something really hinky and hokey got onto a beverage can, the agent who did it just saying it was some slogan.

I see it in the list:
Rakim: “Self-esteem makes me super, superb, and supreme.” (from Follow The Leader).
The 5 Percent Nation believe they are the select small number of black people (the original and perfect men) that see how the white devils (results of an African science experiment gone wrong) are keeping them down.
It is an opportune time to revisit Eric B. & Rakim’s classic Follow the Leader—released 25 years ago this week—a rare chance to judge a tree by the fruit it bears. I say this because the current number one album in the country, Jay Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail, is in many ways, the fulfillment of the ethos articulated on Follow the Leader. It was the title/theme/task. Truth is, Jay’s latter-day career is more Rakim than illuminati, more godbody than Basquiat. No, the Five Percent Nation chain Hov has been wearing does not belong to Rakim, but there’s no doub that Follow the Leader set the #newrules way back in ‘88.
...also take note of the Five percenter talk—one of Ra’s many contributions to rapspeak—on the opening of “Heaven”; check the chain he rocked on a recent interview emblazoned with the Five percent emblem and the cipher’s complete. MCGH is the God’s word made flesh, the latest incarnation of the Rakim continuum.
... I don’t know if you saw this, but he (Jay-Z) was on Power 105 and he had the Five-percent Starburst on his chain. And then on one of his new records [”Heaven”] he opened with The Supreme Mathematics. [”Arm leg, leg, arm, head” acronymization of “Allah.”]
...There’s a lot of Quran influence on the album. You were obviously doing a lot of reading. I remember, “I’m ever lasting, I could go on for days and days/With rhyme displays that engrave as deep as X-rays.” When did you have the time to do all this reading?
[Laughs]. I don’t know man. I always had a real hunger to figure out the universe. It just intrigues me. Just learning as much as I can out of the Quran, which was real complicated at first to read. That made me mad too. I was like, “Why can’t I understand this. It’s supposed to be for me.” But I understood that it’s like that for a reason. Reading and learning how to read that, then figuring out certain things and reading the Bible, then learning how to read the Bible and crack codes in the Bible, it just made me feel good. I felt like that’s what I was supposed to be doing and then I felt that if I learned something good then I could share it and tell somebody something that the most high wanted us to know. But I love reading...
