A key concept

• Knowledge of self comes from this tradition, beginning roughly a century ago, which has become known for advancing Black consciousness, resistance and redemption.
• Knowledge of self is an ethical pursuit to understand one’s place in and relationship to the world in order to positively change it.
• (Determination)” – history shows the term has been a part of Islamic literature for nearly a millennium.

The lessons

• Master Fard taught these lessons to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who would become the religious movement’s leader.
• These lessons are fundamental to the way that the Nation of Islam understands the world and the role of Black people in it.
• The lessons are also studied by the Nation of Gods and Earths, a related spiritual path, of which Rakim is a member.

The message

• In it, he emphasized Black self-reliance – with knowledge of self being a key component.
• “The so-called Negroes must be taught and given Islam,” Muhammad wrote.
• Islam, because it teaches first the knowledge of self.

Hip-hop’s consciousness

• As a result, knowledge of self became hip-hop’s consciousness, emphasizing an awareness of injustice and the imperative to address it through both personal and social transformation.
• Critically, this consciousness, while informed by Black Islam, is embraced by hip-hop community members of all stripes.
• The consciousness led to different forms of hip-hop-based activism.

The knowledge continues

• And in a freestyle viewed around the world, Black Thought rhymes about the wisdom he got at the masjid.
• Take, for example, the Iraqi-Canadian Narcy, Cape Town’s YoungstaCPT, Cuban hip-hop artist Robe L. Ninho and the U.K.’s Enny, whose works track their own journey for knowledge of self.
• Yet hip-hop still affirms what I see around me – knowledge of self is as vital as ever.
