We are not killers, or thugs. The word “Assassin’s" here does not signify mercenaray for hire, as it has been promulgated by western society. Another meaning of the word Assassins (Asasiyun) as
translated by Amin Maalouf (The crusades through Arab eyes) means “foundation” or people who are faithful to Asa "or the original way..." (developed by Hassan-i Sabbah 1040-50's to 1124). Whom, before the wars of the first crusades, was widely known as a man of peace, and a practitioner of the sciences and the arts. His mother was a Catholic his father was a Yemenite.
By citing this history we are not declaring ourselves apart of any religous order; but that we acknowledge our foundations in them all. Even in the ugliest of words, in which their historical meanings have been buried. We respect all religions that continue to practice peace and promote spiritual and economical growth in a way that teaches mankind to coexist.
Though there are many arguments towards the origin and meaning of this word, there are degrees of separation concerning knowledge. By acknowledging our power through spoken word to assassinate false representations of our existence. We who represent Hip Hop Kulture declare who we are and choose to teach our foundations in a collaborative effort to advance mankind through rythm, rhyming and love of "all" life..
