This was the one song that got me hooked as an official Immortal Technique fan. I was taking a walk down Torrance Blvd., which is not too far from Del Amo Mall.
@MrRevolucionario619 Although Immortal said that he's been holding this beat for a very long time so he's probably kept it to himself for the past few years. RIP DILLA
i used to listen to this atleast once a day sorta like a ritual "A toast to the dead, for those that’ve died today The victims and those exonerated by DNA" respect
speak the truth immortal Technique! you are a true artist I give it out to all the ninjas out there goin through a hard time with fallen family we all stick togeather and push on we all fam forever whoop whoop 0un3e.
Vangelis - Alpha .. Song ive been thinking of making a beat for over 30 years finally found it on you tube - The Late J Dilla beat me to it.. Im glad he did he is a true legend - RIP Dilla!
I think the instrumentals are from Vangelis legend of the ambient, electronic, progressive genre of music... I'm thrilled how good this came up, class lyrics with epic music...

I guess it was too much for whoever's keeping a lid on things. I guess the last toast is to remind us that we all gotta go at some point, and to not merely judge on our worst parts, but to appreciate us as whole beings.

How can they say Eminem is the greatest rapper? In his whole career he hasn't said as much as Immortal Technique says in one song. Tragic how the world measures skill..
IT and Em are two different styles. Lyrically EMinem is hands down the greatest to do it doesnt matter what your opinion is. Technique is one of the most prominent conscious rappers of this day and age. Rap doesnt ALWAYS have to be about spitting conscious and political you know. it's good but it's good to have a balance. Lyrically Eminem kills Technique on the mic, but Technique is without a doubt a dope emcee in his own right. To say Tech > Eminem is absurd because you're only putting it in a box of who spits "real" shit, and funny enough you'd be surprised how many serious songs and heartfelt raps he has outside o radio singles. no im not eminem "stan" im just a Hip Hop fan with an open mind that examines the game carefully.
+Chris Goomba If we're talking lyricism, Big L, Immortal Technique, and Nas murder Em. Em is far from the greatest to ever do it. His earlier shit bit off of Big L and AZ and after that he fell off. Technique has been around for 14 years and is still as good as when he first started so let's hold back on the typical "Em is the best" remarks. Damn Eminem fans are becoming worse than pac fans
They say ille never make it , how tf would I take it , they wanna snatch my spirit and brake it , would they just forsake it, Or would I just awake it ,
I want this song played at my funeral.
Tyler P ... that’s deep bro
You're my people.✌️
"The only thing worse than giving freedom to the guilty,
is killing the innocent and leaving your soul filthy"
Remember that.
Hell yea bro that shit hit hard
Forever
You don't 'Rap' in Hip-hop.
You merely speak the truth in ways which are poetic.
Immortal Technique, the most under rated rapper in hip-hop today!
Almost in history!! beside Vinnie p and Jedi mind
"a toast to the dead for children with cancer and aids, there cure exists and you probably could of been saved" Honestly sad how true that is
The sad thing is the majority of people, that line goes right over there head. Truth will always be the best hip hop
BobbyBuntasTV definitely man. hip hop is littered with knowledge
+Brandon Dalley Fuck big pharma
cancer is passed down through the generations how you gonna cure that?

J Dilla and Immortal Tech AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
mind blown
Still relevant in 2024 til infinity
"A Toast to the Dead, for all of my fam
I will never let an Eyedea die with a man
My rhymes are like nazca lines designed to give a view of this

A cold shiver is sent up my spine when I hear those words. Mad props to Tech for delivering such a powerful few bars, and paying his respects to wonderfully talented people. In a way, I get a dark sense of irony whenever I listen to Eyedea vs Immortal Technique nowadays, having heard this tribute.
R.I.P.
Dilla's music just has an energy that can't be explained thru words, greatest of all time, it's always the good ones that have to die R.I.P.
So glad I got to hear this live. Powerful Immortal
RIP Prodigy ☝️☝️☝️
i fucking love this guys music
A LYRICAL MASTERMIND.

So damn good man! For real
Sample is Alpha by Vangelis, and a theme song of Carl Sagan's Cosmos.
Such genius
Makes this song hit that much harder...
It's weird. Unlike a lot of songs, this one gets better the more you listen to it.
I swear I have to listen to this at least once a day
"Rest in Peace"
"Here’s another warrior's song; rep this life to the fullest"
"Rest in Peace"
"Mothafucka, say yo’ prayers!"
"For brothers who died from black-on-black violence"
"Rest in Peace"
"You ain’t payin’ respect when you ‘spose to"
"Rep this life to the fullest"
"Rest in Peace"
"This ain’t for y’all, this a toast to them"
"Rest in Peace"
[Verse 1]
Here's a toast to the dead
If you don't drink, smoke to the head
For the freedom fighters killed by the feds
For those who died hard in the streets, soakin' in red
And died slow asleep in a dream, chokin' in bed
Here's a toast to the dead, for my enemies that are gone
I'm not a coward, so celebratin' that would be wrong
I pray to God that your soul will come back again
So I can see you in the next life and finish it then
A toast to the dead, for criminals burnin' in Hell
I wonder how many presidents are burnin' as well
Emperors, popes, senators, generals
Amputees feel unlucky until they see the vegetables
A toast to the dead, for those who are forgotten
Written out of history by the corrupted and rotten
Black saints whitewashed during La Reconquista
Thousands of Indios Spaniards used to conquer the Incas
Fuck a moment of silence, I need a moment of violence
Like the 19th century Caribbean islands
Long live those who came before that paved the way for me
The warriors and scientists that came before slavery
And if that last lyric was predictable
Take your clairvoyance and apply it to life in the physical
Presumptuous, half-hearted homunculus
Self-destruction is the power without knowin' what the function is
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Here's a toast to the dead, for all of my fam
I will never let an idea die with a man
My rhymes are like Nazca lines: designed to give a view of this
J Dilla's still alive as long as his music is
A toast to the dead, for rap legends and pioneers
Your legacy won't be forsaken as long as I am here
Knowledge of the past and wisdom of the present
I'll teach and leave in the hands of a worthy lieutenant
A toast to the dead, for children with cancer and AIDS
A cure exists and you probably could have been saved
Sad to see medicine divorce morality
Corporate homewreckers pimpin' up the salary
A toast to the dead, for those that'll die today
The victims and those exonerated by DNA
The only thing worse than givin' freedom to the guilty
Is killin' the innocent and leavin' your soul filthy
Immortal Technique, remember me when I'm gone
I encrypted my lyrics to stay alive in a song
So you'll always keep a piece of my spirit inside
When you struggle to complete what I started before I died
But some of you won't survive the changes the Earth makes
Swallowed by tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes
And that's just the first stage if you cannot reverse ways
And realize that we are one regardless of our birthplace

[Outro]
My last toast to the dead is for the listener
Human being or extraterrestrial visitor
Remember us for more than our primitive ways
When you study us long after the end of our days
this is beatiful

well said brother
@MrRevolucionario619
There has to be an instrumental out there somewhere, because obviously this beat wasn't made anytime in the past 5 years.
i hear Biggie, Nas, and Jadakiss, some of the best from the hip-hop game (in my opinion), and I'm from the west coast.
@MrRevolucionario619 No idea but I'll keep my ears peeled for it.
we are all one regardless of our birthplace
fuck it my fav song right now
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
realize we are one regardless of our birth place
idk why but this sounds WAY more clearer than the official download i got from tech
THIS IS A FUCKIN MASTERPIECE!!

A toast to the alive and dead the alive are dead the dead are alive
RIP to my friend, stabbed for some superficial shit.
self destruction is the power without knowing wht the function is
He uses the beat that is in Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Not sure on what episodes.
@mlghackerifyme tech already said that. "Trying to fight the system from inside, eventually corrupts you"
here is a toast to the dead
@psy0nyd3 I know right? you know if there is an instrumental?
How can anyone talk shit on this beat?!?! Its fucking smooth.

Yeah its a sample. You can also hear Guru and Nas samples
Where did they steal this beat from? Vangelis?
I know I did not just have to fuck with an ad before an Immortal Technique song. That's fucked up
