I found with youtube there's usually a 10-1 like or dislike ratio, depending on if the video is really good , (or bad, like Friday by Rebecca Black) . 2418-39 ? that's a really fucking good ratio. Immortal technique is just that amazing
technique is a humanitarian first and an emcee second, he uses his music to enlighten and wake people up from their comas, he ain't telling you to sip your drank, or smack dat ass, this is a real cat, a true OG, too smart for these dumb ass rappers who need to sucks dicks to get on a record label to have any success
For those that may be wondering or wanting to find out the name of the song at the start of the video, it´s: Joell Ortiz - Modern Day Slavery (ft. Immortal Technique), peace!
You know, every so often there emerges an artist who makes such an impact on your ideology that you can not imagine life without their contribution. Immortal Tech does this not only through his music, or even his ordinary speech, but the way he carries himself and interacts with others. His interviews are art in themselves. He is such an inspiration, words are inadequate.
People like him gives me hope in humanity! I've discovered him years ago and it's by far the most educated hip-hop artist. Try this kind of interview with most mainstream artists and we would get fail worthy material for years.
Immortal Technique and RA the Rugged Man are the best rappers that have ever lived!!! Just by listening to them speak shows that they're on a whole other level
Unoriginal Gangster i dunno about lowkey but i've been listening to steez since 2012. Still though, tech and ra still go in harder than steez. I dunno about lowkey tho
+Rafael Lehtonen R.A. is one of the best speaking of flow and breath control, also a highly regarded lyricist. He's also more old school than "pretty much every old school rapper" Tech is one of the best when speaking of messages. What the fuck are you even on about?
Holy Fuck he looks strong as hell and he looks like that he is about to fuck you up in this interview and his songs DAMN he know's what he is talking about. Don't fuck with him
I'm a Christian and I listen to him I agree with his views I agree with his movement its basically like anarchy get mad if you want but I support anarchy
You can tell the difference between a rapper like lil' Wayne or A$AP Rocky or any other mainstream rap/hip-hop artists are on the spot because Lil' Wayne and Rappers of his Generation would respond to these intricate and delicate questions like HELL naaahhh nigga I got the ca$h flow and dats all i care about! but you can tell that immortal technique is different just by the way he talks he uses actual english, rather then the slang that other rappers may use. God damn this guy needs more support
so glad he keeps it real. and interesting. when i first heard this i was confused. but after listening to alot of his other songs i realize this is writte from somone elses perspective.
Every time I hear him speak, I'm blown away. So cogent, so astute, so eloquent! ....So much more intelligent and honest than most music artists out there. And yes, I would vote for him if he ran for president any day.
I listened to Immortal Technique and loved him before I was able to truly understand his lyrics. I am very proud of who he has become and we need more people like him!
'No one ever went broke under estimating the ignorance of the American people' well said, like everything else he said. I'm glad there exist at least one hiphop artist which are not corrupted by corporations and governments.
Because real hip hop is like that.. Very intelligent, very well thought out.. Most people don't see it or even hear it.. Very sad.. Probably the most truthful music or "news" you might hear now adays.
This guy is one of the most artistic and educated rap artist that I haveever heard of. He refuses to dumb down his music and allow others (music companies) to control his creativity. It's too bad that not many up an coming artist can learn from him.
I have Been a ADMIRER Of Tech For a Long Minute ~ `He Is Very Real Y'all Know & See He Just Real Deep & On Point ~ Also Very well Spoken ~ He Could curse also But he Knows when to ! ! Peace Carmen
His Afghanistan answer was interesting... not what I expected. He almost got there with his expounding of the Sunni and Shiite split, but he could have gone into the nationality issue far more (the border zone down the middle of Pashtunistan). Nice that he didn't dismiss the US intervention outright, and recognized it is different... and props for going out there, I am sure religion plays a huge part in it as much as tribe...
Yeah, I totaly agree with you bro. I`m studying to become a teacher but I`m not really interessted in the information in my schoolbooks. I`m learning more about life at home then i do from my study at school.
I admire the way I.T. speaks, I have the same type of mentality that he does but mine isn't as progressed and expanded like his. Give me 5 years and I'll have one of the strongest minds you could possibly have.
Well he did say he's grown and evolved with him, and when you compare his Revolutionary Album Volume 1 with something like The Martyr, I think it really shows. Which song did he say that in, though?
I think he explained what he wants from the human race very well, Now its time for other's to pass on his veiws of what we are not seeing. I will never be able to unhear, un see what i've been told, shown.
I have seen a lot more vids from Immortal Technique and do now see is Immortal Technique much more in depth. Ok, actualy way more. This was only the second one I had seen at this time. Just dope hu?
Its sad that an intelligent man like this that commands such a powerful voice, and speaks such a clear truth is gonna be inevitably shut down. I foresee a genuine martyr in the future. In fact destiny calls for this. Such truth, that much heard cant last for long.
If this guy could reach everyone in the world with his message it would be a better place, so much respect for tech, how long til he gets framed or murdered by the powers that be
Uh huh. I was not aware of such a search engine. Thanks very much for enlightening me. Ehm, I like to study different sources when I research and thats why I asked you for any material you may have access to. I actually already googled it yesterday and found an interesting article which explains why this assumption could be made about Rumi and his disciple. However, you may like to argue otherwise. Ofcourse you may believe what you want to, I just wanted to know for myself.
Although, I might not share all I.T. views on the world. I found his response to the first question regarding homosexuality quite appropriate. W/ the internet we find it quite easy to express & place blame for our short coming & become so entrenched in our beliefs that we forget to address our problems & accept responsibility. “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” ― Albert Einstein
If you appreciate Immortal Technique and you also like some folk music, it's probably worth checking out Utah Philips if you haven't already. They seem to have a lot in common politically. Actually, even if you're not into folk music, there are lots of spoken word recordings and a few interviews of Utah Philips on youtube that might interest you.
his first words speak of de-programming: "as long as they are willing to confront their own ideologies that are cemented in them as a child" my mind is open to IMPROVEMENT, so far I settle for togetherness because war is wrong when looking from the people's side. Revolution has to be peaceful to succeed. Together we can claim, or better, SHARE the world without governments aiming for war because of greed or hunger. Ask any muslim, buddhist or christian, they should know. You and I, we rule.
Omg, I love it! There's much hate in the comments... But yes, free thinking, would maybe, be the most right description for the fans of his :) Since all the ones that are not, are the ones often commenting bad stuff... This guy is just purely non ignorant, conscious and really is a good role model in this Industry! Lovely..
although I disagree with some of immortal technique's views. If it weren't for him kids wouldn't start thinking critically abd questioning reality as much as I have seen. I've met a lot of fourteen year olds even younger who listen to immortal technique and get off on his energy but also can understand his lyrics because he speaks so plainly and logically and his train of thought provides a start for kids who are interested in questioning traditional thought. It's great
This is the type of people I would love to have as my fans. It's one thing to lead a bunch of followers, but it seems like he leads a bunch of leaders.
woops you are right, he is Afro-Peruvian! and about that word i completely agree with you its just wrong to use it, the only reason i did and put the " " on it was to give emphasis on the usage of it on the comment i posted a response to.
I just respect the fact that he's turned down major label records..I mean, he pretty much turned down millions of dollars...not just pretty much, he DID turn down it. It's like the guy on American Gangster turning in the 1 million dollars he found. Holy shit.
18:54 when Technique stops with disgust, he was talking about legal prostitution, in iran, which is how some females make a living, it suprises me how much he knows.
It's a another question who they end up serving in the end, but at least a soldier in his mind thinks that he/she is fighting for their country and people. A gangster knows from the start that he only serves himself and doesn't care about other people
Tech, the realist brother out there.
im 17 and hes one of my idols for sure opened my eyes in various topics
Immortal technique is so well spoken.
Lmao beat me to it
i can feel the brain cells i smoked away coming back when i listen to immortal technique
I found with youtube there's usually a 10-1 like or dislike ratio, depending on if the video is really good , (or bad, like Friday by Rebecca Black) . 2418-39 ? that's a really fucking good ratio. Immortal technique is just that amazing
It sure is. Immortal Technique is the man.
technique is a humanitarian first and an emcee second, he uses his music to enlighten and wake people up from their comas, he ain't telling you to sip your drank, or smack dat ass, this is a real cat, a true OG, too smart for these dumb ass rappers who need to sucks dicks to get on a record label to have any success
For those that may be wondering or wanting to find out the name of the song at the start of the video, it´s: Joell Ortiz - Modern Day Slavery (ft. Immortal Technique), peace!
i had a freakin dictionary open through out this whole interview.....well said immortal technique
Been needing this.. mad respect, thank you very much.
You know, every so often there emerges an artist who makes such an impact on your ideology that you can not imagine life without their contribution. Immortal Tech does this not only through his music, or even his ordinary speech, but the way he carries himself and interacts with others. His interviews are art in themselves. He is such an inspiration, words are inadequate.
Hey Tech, I personally am not a huge fan of hip hop but your music is awakening and definitely revolutionary, I truly appreciate all that you do!
This is a dope interview. May Allah protect Tech and give him guidance always, amin.
People like him gives me hope in humanity! I've discovered him years ago and it's by far the most educated hip-hop artist. Try this kind of interview with most mainstream artists and we would get fail worthy material for years.
Just when i lost hope in humanity, i find this guy. He must read alot.
Immortal Technique and RA the Rugged Man are the best rappers that have ever lived!!! Just by listening to them speak shows that they're on a whole other level
Unoriginal Gangster
i dunno about lowkey but i've been listening to steez since 2012. Still though, tech and ra still go in harder than steez. I dunno about lowkey tho
Pretty much every old school rapper is better than RA or Immortal technique
+Rafael Lehtonen R.A. is one of the best speaking of flow and breath control, also a highly regarded lyricist. He's also more old school than "pretty much every old school rapper"
Tech is one of the best when speaking of messages.
What the fuck are you even on about?
Holy Fuck he looks strong as hell and he looks like that he is about to fuck you up in this interview and his songs DAMN he know's what he is talking about. Don't fuck with him
I'm a Christian and I listen to him I agree with his views I agree with his movement its basically like anarchy get mad if you want but I support anarchy
I don't even listen to or like rap, but after discovering him only just 20 minutes ago i've already got mad respect for this guy.
You can tell the difference between a rapper like lil' Wayne or A$AP Rocky or any other mainstream rap/hip-hop artists are on the spot because Lil' Wayne and Rappers of his Generation would respond to these intricate and delicate questions like HELL naaahhh nigga I got the ca$h flow and dats all i care about! but you can tell that immortal technique is different just by the way he talks he uses actual english, rather then the slang that other rappers may use. God damn this guy needs more support
THIS man is a true human being deep with compassion. he is a prime example of how people should think and act.
so glad he keeps it real. and interesting. when i first heard this i was confused. but after listening to alot of his other songs i realize this is writte from somone elses perspective.
Every time I hear him speak, I'm blown away. So cogent, so astute, so eloquent! ....So much more intelligent and honest than most music artists out there. And yes, I would vote for him if he ran for president any day.
So well spoken. Honestly a lot of rappers/mc's are but they would rather try to fit in with the rest then standout like Tech !
I listened to Immortal Technique and loved him before I was able to truly understand his lyrics. I am very proud of who he has become and we need more people like him!
Appreciate the upload. Words of wisdom for our WORLD!
'No one ever went broke under estimating the ignorance of the American people' well said, like everything else he said. I'm glad there exist at least one hiphop artist which are not corrupted by corporations and governments.
This is the only rapper I see that's active in the real world conflicts. Much Respect !
Because real hip hop is like that.. Very intelligent, very well thought out.. Most people don't see it or even hear it.. Very sad.. Probably the most truthful music or "news" you might hear now adays.
@Eric Javier, my brother open your eyes and do research. Remember the tongue is sharper than the sword. Peace and take care brother.
This guy is one of the most artistic and educated rap artist that I haveever heard of. He refuses to dumb down his music and allow others (music companies) to control his creativity. It's too bad that not many up an coming artist can learn from him.
what makes him great is that he is real, and he always speaks his mind! Unique to see..
I have Been a ADMIRER Of Tech For a Long Minute ~ `He Is Very Real Y'all Know & See He Just Real Deep & On Point ~ Also Very well Spoken ~ He Could curse also But he Knows when to ! ! Peace Carmen

The name of the song is:
Joell Ortiz ft. Immortal Tech - Modern day Slavery
I fucking love when an artist you respect does an interview and actually impresses you.
Yeah, I totaly agree with you bro. I`m studying to become a teacher but I`m not really interessted in the information in my schoolbooks. I`m learning more about life at home then i do from my study at school.
I love Hip Hop artists that know what they are rapping about and that are actually smart and actually trying to make a difference.
I admire the way I.T. speaks, I have the same type of mentality that he does but mine isn't as progressed and expanded like his. Give me 5 years and I'll have one of the strongest minds you could possibly have.
wow I heard some track from him before but since I watched this I feel hugh impressed by the mind of immortal technique! New rolemodel definitly!
The song in the intro is "Modern day slavery" featuring Joell Ortiz.
Well he did say he's grown and evolved with him, and when you compare his Revolutionary Album Volume 1 with something like The Martyr, I think it really shows. Which song did he say that in, though?
this man speaks very well and educated i have the up most respect for this man immortal peace be with u
His interviews are just as powerful as his music...very rare
This man for president. Pure intellect.
This just proves that most rappers are not stupid idiots. Immortal Technique is probably one of the most intelligent person i've seen. Respect to him
amen to that brother
I think he explained what he wants from the human race very well, Now its time for other's to pass on his veiws of what we are not seeing. I will never be able to unhear, un see what i've been told, shown.
If y'all think Immortal Technique is revolutionary, you should check out K Rino.
Not for nothing Immortal technique has a brilliant understanding of life and politics and talks with the up most respect for words. Amazing
this is so true i agree with alot of the stuff he said about Afghanistan because i am Afghan and i have family there.
Immortal Technique is fully committed to the cause unlike many other HipHop artists who claim to be conscious.
I have seen a lot more vids from Immortal Technique and do now see is Immortal Technique much more in depth. Ok, actualy way more. This was only the second one I had seen at this time. Just dope hu?
42 people are corporate puppets.
immortal tech is the most well spoken, dignified and realest gangsta i ever saw...
whats the song name at the beginning? preciate it.
Its sad that an intelligent man like this that commands such a powerful voice, and speaks such a clear truth is gonna be inevitably shut down. I foresee a genuine martyr in the future. In fact destiny calls for this. Such truth, that much heard cant last for long.
If this guy could reach everyone in the world with his message it would be a better place, so much respect for tech, how long til he gets framed or murdered by the powers that be
honestly i wasn't expecting him to sound so smart. i love him and what he stands for. plus he is an amazing rapper too
An indelligent, free human being, an intelligent individual
What is the name of the song at the start?
what was the song at the very start in the backround?
so much respect for Immortal Technique!!
anyone know what song is at the intro?
He's so amazing! Just everything he says just blows my mind...
i was taught Hate the sin, love the sinner.
they cant help what they are.
When was this filmed ? :)
Uh huh. I was not aware of such a search engine. Thanks very much for enlightening me. Ehm, I like to study different sources when I research and thats why I asked you for any material you may have access to. I actually already googled it yesterday and found an interesting article which explains why this assumption could be made about Rumi and his disciple. However, you may like to argue otherwise. Ofcourse you may believe what you want to, I just wanted to know for myself.
Hes not a shallow artist he can.back up his lyrics word for word... So dope
Although, I might not share all I.T. views on the world. I found his response to the first question regarding homosexuality quite appropriate. W/ the internet we find it quite easy to express & place blame for our short coming & become so entrenched in our beliefs that we forget to address our problems & accept responsibility.

whats the name on the song at 9:04?
If you appreciate Immortal Technique and you also like some folk music, it's probably worth checking out Utah Philips if you haven't already. They seem to have a lot in common politically. Actually, even if you're not into folk music, there are lots of spoken word recordings and a few interviews of Utah Philips on youtube that might interest you.
What's the song at the beginning?
his first words speak of de-programming:
"as long as they are willing to confront their own ideologies that are cemented in them as a child"
my mind is open to IMPROVEMENT, so far I settle for togetherness because war is wrong when looking from the people's side.
Revolution has to be peaceful to succeed. Together we can claim, or better, SHARE the world without governments aiming for war because of greed or hunger. Ask any muslim, buddhist or christian, they should know. You and I, we rule.
this dudes actually educated, mad respect cause of that
Omg, I love it! There's much hate in the comments... But yes, free thinking, would maybe, be the most right description for the fans of his :) Since all the ones that are not, are the ones often commenting bad stuff... This guy is just purely non ignorant, conscious and really is a good role model in this Industry! Lovely..
Whats The song In The Begining.?
although I disagree with some of immortal technique's views. If it weren't for him kids wouldn't start thinking critically abd questioning reality as much as I have seen. I've met a lot of fourteen year olds even younger who listen to immortal technique and get off on his energy but also can understand his lyrics because he speaks so plainly and logically and his train of thought provides a start for kids who are interested in questioning traditional thought. It's great
What is the intro song ?
Immortal Technique is truely "a man of the people" and that's the only real kind of Man.
This is the type of people I would love to have as my fans. It's one thing to lead a bunch of followers, but it seems like he leads a bunch of leaders.
woops you are right, he is Afro-Peruvian! and about that word i completely agree with you its just wrong to use it, the only reason i did and put the " " on it was to give emphasis on the usage of it on the comment i posted a response to.
whats the intro tune?
This guy is crazy underrated, dance with the devil left me shaking.
What was the intro song
perception is everything sir.. but even if it sounds like realize realize realize then you are still getting the point...
I just respect the fact that he's turned down major label records..I mean, he pretty much turned down millions of dollars...not just pretty much, he DID turn down it. It's like the guy on American Gangster turning in the 1 million dollars he found. Holy shit.
i just enjoy watching him talk while he's dressed like that... that's rare. and then i find out english is his 3rd language?! fuck... i love him.
I'm in love with this man for 17 years lol...
That hate will only hold you back and keep you down.. but do you playa..
Holy shit. He's on Al-Jazeera? Can you imagine CNN interviewing him?
When?
I love how intelligent real Hip Hop is
many thanks bro!!
I didnt liked the anchor. but overall great interview and messages there.
Immortal Technique true words!
i don't knwo why your comment was marked as spam you're absolutely right... much respect for tech but al jazeera really...
Name of first song?
18:54
when Technique stops with disgust, he was talking about legal prostitution, in iran, which is how some females make a living, it suprises me how much he knows.
It's a another question who they end up serving in the end, but at least a soldier in his mind thinks that he/she is fighting for their country and people. A gangster knows from the start that he only serves himself and doesn't care about other people
Totally agree with his views on news. More sources = more points of views
on may 31 or earlier of this year!
how many times did you think your itunes started to play immortal but it was the video :P
I wish Tanya got to finish her point, full context gives full answers
