Culture Cypher 

5 Percenter (Nation of Gods and Earths) lingo for 40. As used in the infamous Wu-Tang 7th Chamber skit on Enter The 36 Chambers album by Ghostface. The number 4 is equal to culture and the number 0 is equal to cypher (as in a circle which is a full 360 degrees cypher). Disregard the other definitions of Culture Cypher on here as they are completely inaccurate.
