Tech is like a smart, successful general from a forgotten war that ended 10-15 years ago. The political hip hop never caught on in the mainstream because it's alienating and doesn't resonate among the casual hip hop/pop fanbase. His music is strictly underground-flavor, which is great for guys like me who like hardcore hip hop but limiting to his reach. Most kids today don't even care about what was popping 4-5 years ago. Odd Future is so 2011. Every few years, new faces emerge like now it's Kendrick and Logic. OT Genasis had the biggest hit last year. Hip hop has been dead for many years now. It's a dead genre, taken over by mainstream pop/casual rap.
Bullshit. You assume that the majority of heads are into lame, non-lyrical shit. If you listen, really listen to people like Logic, you would understand that they actually honour the golden era when rap was lyrical. They pay a lot of respect to it. boom bap is coming back. Wack shit will never be timeless
+Calan Panchoo Lord Jamar represents an ignorant persona from an ignorant time... If we wanna move forward and build on real hip hop we need to leave those ignorant viewpoints in the past. Just my opinion.
he's a light skinned brotha who gives props to the black brothas all over the globe. he's clearly wit the movement and reps the native indigenous cultures of the planet.i can't believe so many dark skinned brothas and sistas r lost and wont explore the history and power that the color black reps. original humman!
50 cent explained this, he said you have to crush your challengers career before they get to powerful and then they can fuck with you. Basically you kill there career before they have enough power to challenge you. He also had to do this because beef is apart of the culture and if he didnt, people would say that he thinks hes above it.
That's literally not true at all, but okay. His not topping charts, but he still puts stuff out all the time, and it most of it is better than his angry diss track stuff.
@@HomeCookinMTG That’s good I didn’t know he still dropped music. He’s been quiet for a while. I like Hopsin I’ll go listen to his new stuff. I’ve always been a fan of Hopsin.
Eminem - Mosh received plenty of airplay and definitely was a political record, released just before the 2004 elections. It it sad to see it's been so long since such songs have been released.
Because this generation is complacent. These kids born post 1980 really don't give a damn about social/political issues until it smacks them dead in the face. It took the murder of Trayvon Martin for people to address racism and even police brutality. The real issue is if we can keep this thing going for the next decade. That said, look at the music being pushed. If a song like "Lifestyle" by Rich Homie Quan is a hit, then folks will emulate it. I swear, it's the dumbest rap song I've heard in years, but folks want to hear it. That's the sad part. People complain about the lack of substance in music, but when a thought provoking record is released no one wants to listen to it. However, people will download dumb songs all day.
cabalofdemons I am born post 1980 myself and growing up I have seen many of the kids you are describing. It is a shame, creativity in lyrics is overshadowed by creativity in beats. That is why I think it pretty ironic that Eminem made a song (featuring among other Dr Dre, 50 cent and Jay-Z) called Syllables.. complaining about people who listen to beats over lyrics nowadays. Look at the popularity of Rick Ross. His lyrics suck, but he supposedly has cool beats. It is being pushed on to us and that is why I don't listen to the radio anymore to be honest. The richest corporations push their nonsense from the top down whereas I feel music should be made bottom-up. It has to be made by people who then inspire a larger audience after which the radio picks it up. But that's what dead prez have talked about on their records too... It is sad to see good music has become really difficult to find on the radio, but on the other hand the internet has made it so much more available as well.
roblinssen88 Exactly. Good music is there, but you gotta find it. Ross has good beats, but lyrically it's silly. Still, folks want to hear the stuff and it sells.
sure 50s rap career isnt what it used to be but dude is a hustler that raps. He's making major business moves he doesnt need to rap any more. Just like Jay & Eminem
Maaannn I agree, HOWEVER we need to stop calling everything "hate" then!! cus ppl may attack another individual but have TOTALLY valid points as to WHY its being attacked!
i like immortal technique. The only thing I disagree with people on is this whole concept of race. race is a idea invented during european colonization, until then your only identity is what tribe you belonged to. Irish people weren't white they where irish. Egyptians weren't black they where egyptian. Race is an idea, and ideas aren't real unless if everybody democratically decide its real.
***** i always thought it was a caste thing of sort... but to be honest i posted what i said long enough ago where i don't really remember what i was thinking exactly. it was just during a phase where i was really tired of how people and friends where treating me because i was white as far as i could tell ... all i think i was trying to comment on is that where taught to think on certain lines but we really don't have too.
+bill fill That might be true but you will have a hard time arriving at any type of practical discussion with that vague of a definition. In order to talk to people, you have to at least be able to adapt to (and recognize) the own definitions and constructs they hold for themselves. Otherwise you won't be able to communicate effectively with anyone; you won't be able to build or get anywhere with people who think like that
You still can find alot of black Egyptians living in Egypt today. Most of today's Egyptians are mostly imposters. Muslims were the last and final group of people to conquer Egypt and are a result of black and white mixture. But Egypt has always been majority black until now. Just read up on the greek Herodotus who described Egyptians as being very black.
I don't think you understand, 50 cent recently released a high successful mix-tape. Not too mention he doesn't need music right now, he's busy as hell with his business ventures worth about 500 million dollars. And is coming out with another album in some months from now which I can guarentee will be sold highly.
I sort of agree about 50, but he started that diss shit with "How to Rob" and continued with his mixtapes when he came back on the circuit, before he was even signed. That's just 50, whether he is signed or not.
REAL MUTHA FUCKIN KNOWLEDGE TECH...NEED U TO DO. 20/20. 60MINS. PRIMETIME LIVE. KEEP DROPPIN UR WORD BROTHER.... THIS FROM A FILIPINO FROM CHI TOWN....ONE LOVE MY. NIGGA
Oh god!! he is from Lima, Peru and his name is Felipe Coronel who came to the U.S when he was about 4 years old to Harlem, New York. Hispanics have indigenous and African roots and some countries in Latin America have Asian heritage. Basic History my friends.His free album is THE MARTYR
i think he meant more as when he got signed & started dissing ppl as well but yeah how to rob i think its called da song ur talkin about but he didnt get much buzz off that it was til em signed him but u got a point
Two Underground Radio Stations where the Dj's play what music they want to hear and what the people suggest and they play it. Every Tuesday night 9-12 midnight 91.7 plays underground hip hop. You can request a track and if they have it clean they will play it. I quite enjoy it to. I listen to allot of variety on that station. 88.9 Radio Milwaukee and 91.7 WMSE Frontier Radio & I know you can stream Frontier Radio online and they have a music archive.But I have not tried streaming Radio Milwaukee
But then again, KRS-One goes agaisnt everything he just said. And even tho it was in a different time where Hip-Hop was still just comin off the ground and there was less money and marketing involved, He still came up as a random dude and took a shot at one of the hottest MCs at the time and came out on top. IMO, you can make a career off of beef, but only the sharpest MCs can pull it off
idunno guys, i just watched Beef on NF and beefin' seemed to get those guys real far, but I respect the man. (you should check it out if you're an old school hiphop fan, it's a great documentary)
I know and I agree with you, I don't think anyone should say it. I was just pointing out that saying only black or hispanic people have African ancestors is ignorant, everyone in the world came from Africa at some point in history. I'm white btw.
@1:12 Pretty sure he's talking about Big Sty's song Itz a Problem where at the end he says "I feel like diggin up Big and Pac and saying fuck them too"
First off, he's a successful indie artist, he's vice president of his label, owns his masters, and lives off of his music, making the music that he wants to make...He's showing people that you don't need a major label to have a career in rap...Secondly, he has gotten major label offers and chose not to sign on the dotted line because he values his creativity and ownership of his own music...Third, he's Afro-Latino, if he wants to say "nigga" he's got that right...
I think that "beef" is the equivalent of a Special Olympics Medal. It's hot for the moment, but unless it's golden or packed with punches, the hype ends within moments.
Actaully he's funny as hell. You do understand that he isnt doing that kind of music seriosly? it's for fun and it spreads positivity. not everyting has to be so serious.
You mentioned in your initial post about Tech not speaking on Interscope or 50. I addressed your lame points and I pointed out how the relevancy game affects your boy now that he's irrelevant. The next step for 50 is to sign to a "graveyard" indie label cause Interscope isn't fucking with him.
I always thought it was strange that Eminem started his career with songs like "Just Don't Give a Fuck" and "Still Don't Give a Fuck" (songs I really like, for the record) but then made an entire career out of "beefing" with various other rappers, hence thoroughly disproving this notion. The only beef Tech seems to have is with various politicians.
They were wrong about political tracks. Flobots - Handlebars was very metaphorically political. It was overlooked because everything mainstream is overlooked by real hip hop heads nowadays, they're very ignorant if something reaches the charts. But yeah, Flobots - Handlebars was in the charts in 2008.
Hispanic is a cultural heritage so you're right, but if you were to look from a standpoint on race Tech is Native American and African (his grandfather is Black)
this brotha is smart and not afraid to speak out against the corporate slave masters. i doubt u'll ever hear him on the radio. sadly most young ppl...(scratch that)...most ppl in general nowadays are so dumb down that if you aint playing some silly, brainless music, then they don't want it
Well, 50 cent does not need a rap career anymore. He is one of the richest figures in hip hop.., with P Diddy being the richest, and he hardly ever recorded a song by himself. .
Tech is like a smart, successful general from a forgotten war that ended 10-15 years ago.

Hip hop isnt dead. It was buried alive. It lives on underground
Lamar and Logic are dope WTF are you on about son?!
Bullshit. You assume that the majority of heads are into lame, non-lyrical shit. If you listen, really listen to people like Logic, you would understand that they actually honour the golden era when rap was lyrical. They pay a lot of respect to it. boom bap is coming back. Wack shit will never be timeless
u guys think logic is good? listen to the OG logic from the UK hes 10x better ua-cam.com/video/mNlL3dyLAyk/v-deo.html
more immortal technique less lord jamar
+Calan Panchoo Lord Jamar represents an ignorant persona from an ignorant time... If we wanna move forward and build on real hip hop we need to leave those ignorant viewpoints in the past. Just my opinion.
+shırxsı yes please
mostly non-Black folks who don't see the value of what Jamar is saying
church!
Come on, no one is against outing the homosexual agenda, Jamar says racist and ignorant things.
The way Tech describes ideas I find awesome.
Even when i disagree with him I appreciate the way he words things and organizes his thoughts, really smart guy
Haha 😂
He a smart guy, lol
he's a light skinned brotha who gives props to the black brothas all over the globe. he's clearly wit the movement and reps the native indigenous cultures of the planet.i can't believe so many dark skinned brothas and sistas r lost and wont explore the history and power that the color black reps. original humman!
He's Peruvian
You might want to put in some work and do some real research because it’s obvious by your words that you are brainwashed.
God Worden how
@@bottegabo2898 he looks so mad, lol
did Immortal just say "South Africa".. Thats my Country😄🇿🇦
This is why Immortal Technique will always have my respect.
Immortal is too dope!!! I respect him big time.. I been listening to him since '01
"Turns from a plane into a nigga with guns and shit". Lmao!!! XD
technique grew up in harlem, "nigga" was probably his first word
This man opened my eyes when I was bout 17
i loved Tec. He's the most intellectual man in music
the way he described Interscope as a machine 😂 1:42
He so funny foking machine bruuuh dead asf

That’s so true about Hopsin. He got big on disses and now you don’t hear anything from him

Every time I watch one of his videos, I feel like I get a little wiser in life.
I respect Tech, but when he said Japanese Machines LOL I died, its "transformers"
then again, KRS-One did the same, hes now a legend
''and fish is good when that shit is fresh ...''
~tech
thank you technique...they dnt understand third world pain
Meek Mill and Stitches should watch this video.

Don Moreno um...Muslims is NOT a race u moron
I wish there were more hip hop artists like this around today. He is making a whole lot of sense. Sounds real intelligent.
One of the best interviews ive heard this shit is mad real!!
Would love to see this dude and nas do a song together. Think there voices would be amazing on a track 👌
With all the social networking these days, beefing to get on, is irrelevant, unless you actually challenge someone to a battle or have a real problem.
My man.... always dropping kbowledge. Stick with it
I don't think you understand, 50 cent recently released a high successful mix-tape.

The one American rapper who actually has something to say.
He was talking about Big Sty who did all the diss tracks years ago.
One of the lines was "I feel like digging up Big and Pac & saying F*ck them too"
Snitch nine needs to watch this asap

Check Tech with Alex Jones. Your prayer has been answered :)
if anyone wants to know a part of the reason why 50 cent popped so hot and every reason why hes cold as ice now watch this video
Dude everyone falls of and slows down eventually look at Nas
Oh god!! he is from Lima, Peru and his name is Felipe Coronel who came to the U.S when he was about 4 years old to Harlem, New York. Hispanics have indigenous and African roots and some countries in Latin America have Asian heritage. Basic History my friends.His free album is THE MARTYR
I read the title and thought: 50 cent. One of hiphop's wealthiest moguls.
His career is defined by beef.
Oh ya your right i forgot about the 50 and ja rule beef lol. And i agree with you on jimmy and suge being the main force of all that.
Should have spoken up on how the ego's a big part of mainstream music now!
I got, i' m this, i' m that ...tired !

the thing people gotta realize is that there are so many styles out there immortal's incredibly dope but unfortunately he aint for everybody tho.
still makes music. ruled the rap game for like seven years was always number one. then went into business and is banking hard as hell
First off, he's a successful indie artist, he's vice president of his label, owns his masters, and lives off of his music, making the music that he wants to make...He's showing people that you don't need a major label to have a career in rap...Secondly, he has gotten major label offers and chose not to sign on the dotted line because he values his creativity and ownership of his own music...Third, he's Afro-Latino, if he wants to say "nigga" he's got that right...

Where is Middle Passage!? I want it now!
The question is can I get old?

it's for fun and it spreads positivity.
not everyting has to be so serious.
good point same as krs one
50 cent is doing well
IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE FOR PRESIDENT !
48 was talking about the downfalls of selling dope. Not celebrating it.
I rarely disagree with anything Immortal Technique has to say. Keep it real
Pretty funny for Tech to say this when he's pals with Diabolical, who did a Tyler The Creator diss
I want ricegum to react to this
Javier He does it for the purpose of comedy. It's completely different
Fuck! he's so real!!!!
"Every great reality will have greater exceptions."
No beef,no glory
word, 50 going to war with Murda Inc was like a small country America went to war with to blow up

I really like Immortal Technique... but i never did like that whole Revolution shit. & i wish he was more consistent
no doubt
He is absolutely right but, every great rule has a greater exception.
Have you listened to the radio lately? These dudes barely speak English and probably can't SPELL politics.
love this guy!!!!!!
50CENT MA NIGGA!!!!
immortal technique you a real rapper

hopsin is the perfect example for when he talks about the beef shit
What bangers did 50 have prior to his beef with Ja Rule?
He right about 50 he a big machine behind him his career was well planed
So who are Rebel Armz?
love thius guy may god be with you
50 always attracted beef because it was his gimmick.
most rappers coming up off beef rarely make it
"....you ungrateful ass niggah!" lol
this brotha is smart and not afraid to speak out against the corporate slave masters. i doubt u'll ever hear him on the radio. sadly most young ppl...(scratch that)...most ppl in general nowadays are so dumb down that if you aint playing some silly, brainless music, then they don't want it
would love to hear his thoughts on a dude like lil B..
Jadakiss Why was 2004.
real talk
Truth spoken
what he was saying was fifty had more than just a diss song to keep him going
Well, 50 cent does not need a rap career anymore. He is one of the richest figures in hip hop.., with P Diddy being the richest, and he hardly ever recorded a song by himself. .
Except for the having friends part
haha i remember there was this female rapper dissing Snoop called herself Sheep Doggy Dog was so fucking wack
