The 5% Album
The 5% Album is the only album by American rapper Lord Jamar, best known as a member of the group Brand Nubian. Its title and subject matter are taken from the Nation of Gods and Earths teachings that only five percent of the population is enlightened, good, and willing to help those who are oppressed. It features guest appearances by Wu-Tang Clan members RZA and Raekwon, fellow Brand Nubian members Grand Puba and Sadat X, Wu-Tang affiliate Popa Wu, and the sons of GZA (Young Justice), Ol' Dirty Bastard (Young Dirty Bastard), and Jamar (Young Lord). The album peaked at number 94 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

gollark: In theory you can run your own krist node, but it's aaargh.
gollark: It's just that krist is a sortofcryptocurrency with out-of-game whatevers and an API.
gollark: There are loads of economy plugins and stuff already, you know.
gollark: Ah. Nobody knows that. Except lemmmy himself, and even then not really; it's due for a bit of an overhaul, but since it mostly works and lemmmy hadn't enough free time, it's not gotten one.
gollark: The commands for use on the server? The API? How the node works internally?
