Brand Nubian consists of 3 rappers, Sadat X, Grand Puba, and Lord Jamal, and two DJs, Alamo and Sincere. The group's claim to fame is for their socially/politically charged lyrics, based on the teachings of the 5 Percent Nation.

The Breakdown:
Lyrics
Not the most lyrically impressive song, but I think it can really be summed up with these lines:
Brand Nubian posted:
As the midnight oil burns, our minds turn
Make a mistake and be fake and you'll burn
We're here to teach so you'd might as well learn
That the tree has the knowledge for what you year
The song serves as a groovy introduction, more or less, of the group's mission of black consciousness, and pursuit of true knowledge. Hope you guys enjoy.
