The Five Percent Nation of Islam, also known as the Nation of Gods and Earths, is an offshoot of the Nation of Islam (and separate from it). It's apparently been popularized by a number of rap musicians.

See their web page at http://www.ibiblio.org/nge/.

Black militant precursors to the NOI. years ago, in Times Square, they would rave and foam on soapboxes. it was sort of "Mr. Hyde" park.
