Editing Nuwaubian Nation (section)

=== Influence upon hip-hop ===
As "Dr. York", the movement's leader was a vocalist and [[Record producer|music producer]] in Brooklyn before he left the area. During this time, his Nuwaubian teachings affected [[Hip-hop|hip hop]] and Black culture in New York. Journalist Adam Heimlich of the ''[[New York Press]]'' suggested the following were influenced by York: [[Jaz-O]], [[Doug E. Fresh]], [[Afrika Bambaataa]], [[Kelvin Mercer|Posdnuos]] from [[De La Soul]], [[Prodigy (rapper)|Prodigy]] from [[Mobb Deep]], and [[MF Doom]]/[[KMD]].<ref name="nypress.com"/>

In his article on York's cult, Heimlich reviewed some of the leader's published works. He wrote that York had borrowed from a variety of sources for his ideas:

{{blockquote|A partial list, from my notes, of places I'd encountered Nuwaubian notions before includes ''[[Chariots of the Gods?|Chariots of the Gods]]'' and the [[Raël|Rael]]'s embellishments on that book, conspiracy lit, UFO lit, the [[Human Potential Movement|human potential movement]], [[Buddhism]] and [[New Age|new-age]], [[astrology]], [[Theosophy (Blavatskian)|theosophy]] and [[Helena Blavatsky|Blavatsky]], [[Leonard Jeffries]] and other [[Afrocentrism|Afrocentrics]], [[Edgar Cayce|Cayce]], [[Lyndon LaRouche|LaRouche]], [[alternative medicine]], [[self-help]] lit, [[Satanism]], the [[Atkins diet]], [[numerology]] and [[yoga]]. Many of these York mentions by name. There are also extensive discourses on the [[Torah]], [[Gospel]]s and [[Quran|Koran]], as well as on [[Rastafari]]anism, the [[Nation of Islam]] and the [[Five-Percent Nation]].<ref name="nypress.com">Heimlich, Adam.
