Immortal Technique...what can you say about this dude? Before he goes out, he'll be a legend, no doubt. Lyrically he MURDERS tracks, not only that, but I've seen him perform alongside some of the greats, (Common, Wu-Tang, Pharoahe Monch, Talib Kweli, and TEAR THAT SHIT DOWN!!! Although, Common is still one of, if not the best, performers I've ever seen.) Much respect to a great MC and a real ass dude.

@S.P MOB:

lol, you missed the whole point my dude. haha

@ grandpa dope smoke

The reason he doesn't have many guest appearances is because he has made it very clear that he feels record companies profit the most from mass production and marketing of music, not the actual artists themselves. I first heard about him from The Source when he was awarded unsigned hype. I saw a few videos on youtube of him freestyle battling and I was absolutely amazed. I immediately picked up Revolutionary Vol. 1, I was not suprised that they lyrics were on point. However, I was suprised that the production was actually very good considering he was primarily known as a battle rapper. The beats fit his aggressive and hard hitting lyrical flow very well. If your tired of mainstream hip-hop with boring lyrical content that lacks a message. Pick up Revolutionary Vol. 1 & 2, I already ordered 3rd World so I can't recommend it just yet but I'm willing to bet it lives up to expectations.

@grandpa dope smoke:

Try to find "Dance With The Devil" if you can...that is story telling at it's best. Everybody that I've got to listen to that get the same eerie, fear and sadness when they hear that. Prolific is a good word to describe this dude.

IT is one of the most talented, intelligent and revolutionary MCs that most people have never heard of. His Hood Poltics series is straight fire. It's hard not to respect somebody that really creates their own lane, has something so say and has a core supportive audience that allows him to do his thing without any influence from the majors at all, that's impressive.

Tech has been a top 5 MC in my book since Revolutionary Vol. 2, dude has a knack for storytelling and evoking emotions with his work... and like the interview says, he works hard, which I think shows. Hope this excellent interview opens a few eyes and ears, this guy needs to be shown support from the entire hip-hop community. Nice to see him have hooked up w/ Green Lantern before and now w/ The 3rd World. I expect this to be the first album I've purchased in more than a year. If you've never heard of Technique before, just go check out some shit on playlist.com, most of his previous tracks are fire too...

Techs walks the walk. Rappers... and people talk a good game... but dont do shit about it... He gets off His ass and really does what He talks about. I seen interviews where He talks about buying land and farms to help etc. True G. Big Up Tech. A very articulate man to. Genius . PEACE

i'm white and i listen to immortal technique, but i don't have the revolutionary vol.2 because it's hard to get down here

The Revolutionary series was dope, but I have been waiting for Volume 3 or The Middle Passage for years.
The project with Green Latern is quite cool though, some dope tracks on there.

When I’m on the way to the A train I can see the gentrification. I see them kicking us out of our own neighborhood and these modern day slaves thinking they was gonna come in and make the ghetto better…’til they started deporting, U-hauling s**t.

Me: He must be talking about Mexicans. Nothing against them (except Surenos and Mexican Mafia) but I don't think its a coincidence that they're migrating to every city in the U.S. that blacks are located in, while blacks are also dealing with gentrification from whites. I've seen the Mexican population increase 500% (not exaggerating) in 10 yrs in my locale and nobody has blinked in eye while whites from other states make their presence known by how many over-inflated houses they purchase; to the new Starbucks or Java shops popping up while looking at the indigenous blacks like we've encroached on their space. Keep your eyes open folks!!

One of the best ways to sum up

"When I’m on the way to the A train I can see the gentrification. I see them kicking us out of our own neighborhood and these modern day slaves thinking they was gonna come in and make the ghetto better…’til they started deporting, U-hauling s**t. "

is that "there is no AMERCIAN anymore, it's just rich people, and poor people" (a skit from 3RD WORLD)... or listen to Tech's prior albums where he address' the fact that he "has more in common with poor white people, than he does with rich african american, and mexican's"... It's all about Class-ism.

The broke relate to the broke. The rich relate to the rich. Plain and (not so-simple).
