Professor Griff - Afrocentrism

Afrocentrism

Although himself partly Native American, Griffin embraced a radical form of Afrocentrism. "Muslim, Christian, Jew / Here's a little somethin' I thought you knew / There is only one God and God is one / The rich praises none."

After his departure from Public Enemy, Griffin formed his own group, the Last Asiatic Disciples. Griffin's albums were of an Islamic and Afrocentric style, combined with increasingly spoken word lyrics.

He is a member of the Nation of Islam and the Nation of Gods and Earths, which his lyrics and record titles as a solo artist referenced. Another general theme in his lyrics is New World Order conspiracy.
