The Wu-Tang Clan group’s founder and mentor,”Popa Wu”, is one of the original 5 Percenters. He’s an expert on the philosophy of the Five-Percent Nation, which reflects the concept that ten percent of the people of the world know the truth of existence, and those elites opt to keep eighty-five percent of the world in ignorance and under their controlling thumb; the remaining five percent are those who know the truth and are determined to enlighten the rest. Popa Wu is the voice you hear on the intro to “Wu-Tang Forever”, Ghostface Killah’s “Ironman”, Raekwon’s “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx”, and can be heard giving teachings on other Wu-Tang tracks.
