Holy Intellect is the debut album by hip-hop group Poor Righteous Teachers, famous for its pro-Five-Percenter messages. The album includes the hip-hop classic "Rock Dis Funky Joint", which sampled "Slippin' Into Darkness" by War, a 1970s funk band.
The album is broken down track-by-track by Poor Righteous Teachers in Brian Coleman's book Check the Technique.
In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums Ever.
