    "The only thing worse than giving freedom to the guilty,
    is killing the innocent and leaving your soul filthy"
    Remember that.

    You don't 'Rap' in Hip-hop.
    You merely speak the truth in ways which are poetic.

    Fuck a moment of silence, I need a moment of violence like the nineteenth century Caribbean islands. Long live those who paved the way for me the warriors and scientists that came before slavery and if that last lyric was predictable... take that clairvoyance and apply it to life in the physical. Presumptuous half hearted homunculus self destructive is the power with out knowing what the function is. ( so fucking raw)

    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

    "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
    J Dilla's still alive as long as his music is!"
    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.

    "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
    [Hook]
    [Outro]

      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.

    Tragic how the world measures skill..

    • @chrisgoomba9735
      @chrisgoomba9735 11 років тому +9

      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.

    • @nialls6114

      @steve4999 9 років тому +6

      +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
