“When the devil wants to dance with you you better say never, because a dance with the devil might last you forever.” Immortal Technique
_"How can this be the land of the free, home of the brave, indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves?"_
If god killed everyone on earth except for Noah and the devil
Never did then I think I’d rather dance with the non-genocidal character. Every day of the year.
@@Theactivepsychos It’s what we call a metaphor bud…🤦♂️

"The most gangster shit in the world is to know what's going on" - Immortal Technique
never heard this one... DoPe!
Immortal Technique is realer than real. Highly intelligent and not a fake bone in his body. We need more folk like him and Abby.
I remember he would come on RT news with Abby on interviews
I was a right wing Army Ranger before 9 11.After discovering this guy after 9 11 my perspective is 180 degrees from my previous life.This guy is probably one of the most instrumental causes of my entire world view changes and I will never look back.The only problem I have is the guilt that plagues me 24/7 for the injustice I committed behind the barrel of a rifle for this country.
Don’t carry any guilt, you didn’t know any better. It’s time to heal and share your journey with others 💗
Abby Martin's journalist standards are so high that I struggle to find many other news outlets that hold that benchmark. Really thank you for releasing such quality content.
AM/Grayzone = Russian prop
@@vincehenriquez680 Nah its just that you are indoctrinated to spew such idiocy when you hear critique of the fascist empire.
Same
@@vincehenriquez680 yes sure, everything is propaganda, anything but to deal with reality.
@@vincehenriquez680 You = Troll.
Great interview with Immortal Technique. Respect to that brother. Can't wait to see the 'Earth's greatest enemy' documentary coming out soon from Empire Files. Keep fighting sister Abby!
Earth's greatest enemy is the United States
@@nil981 And that's a fact
this guy is well spoken and really knows his history . we need more people like him , thank you both .
I ask what does well spoken mean?
He doesn't sound like a N word@landmark22 ... He isnt using redneck hick speak, he is easy to understand...
I'm an over 70 "white man", and I have been listening and following Immortal Technique for decades now! While he's not right about everything, few people are, he has a very good understanding of what is wrong with the world. Abby Martin and Chris Hedges are two of the best journalists working today!
A 70 year old who knows Immortal Technique? Damn that's great! You'd be great to have a chat with if we lived near each other.
@@whathappenedtoearth6495 Thanks. Yeah, it's in my playlist with a lot of other newer music. Most people my age only listen to classic rock or country. I like music, especially protest songs in all genres.
Love both Abby Martin and Immortal Technique... two people who speak truth to power
Wow two sides of the same coin. Dope
@@wavell2000 You are one of those who are wise enogh to only see one side of the coin. 😁😁😁
Real journalist that expose the truth DIE. Real Rappers that expose the Truth DIE. I do like both but they are BOTH ALIVE. Ask yourself WHY?
@@sirkoes187 you sound delusional. name a single rapper who "died for exposing the truth"?
@@youtubeuser206 2Pac, prodigy of mobb deep, Coolio etc…. Real truth.
How real Satanist and Luciferians are controlling this world by witchcraft and sorcery. Is all in 2Pacs lyrics
Immortal Technique is my favorite rapper of all time! So happy to hear an interview with him given by one of the greatest journalists. Fantastic!
He's the GOAT, my favorite too. Nobody raps with as much meaning or purpose as he does.
Yall ever listened to Lowkey and Akala?
I love them all so not saying anyone is better, but if you've never listened to them, I'd highly recommend them
@@Xara_K1 I know lowkey from his journalistic work and from a few songs he did with IT. Never heard of Akala but I'll check them out
Yes... he might be the most intelligent person we have, we'll intelligent and not morally corrupt
People better treat this like the Katt Williams interview and LISTEN.
He is so articulate in his raps and his conversation. One of the best emcees. I've learned so much just from his lyricism.
I had unreasonably high expectations for this interview and you two just completely surpassed those expectations. Absolutely incredible work here.
👏
Abby Martin truly one of The Greatest Journalist to ever deliver the truth.
True
I agree
She's a centrist russian shill, you're lost bro
@@LitCast fucking moronic comment.
IT is one of the greatest rappers to ever grace the mic
An hour full of goosebumps. Rare to hear such a clear sighted explanation of our current condition.
Revolutionary vol.2 is the album that made me fall in love with hip hop because it introduced me to a style and a level of messaging that changed my perspective. Throughout the years Immortal Technique music and his independence has always been an example to me. He is one of the few rappers that never sold out and even if that means that never he got the recognition he deserved in the mainstream, for people like me he will always be a hero
i'm THRILLED coming into this interview. thank you so much for doing this.
We need more people like him.
Unfortunately he's too caught up in his own ego. Tech peddles bullshit....he blames capitalism and American hegemony for most of the suffering in the world today. When there are societies that still mutilate young girls and where child marriages are still arranged he's blaming America and the West. Without the West he wouldn't have the smart phone he uses to push his rhetoric, or a car, or electricity or even the internet. A little grattitude for what capitalism has produced and for our society and its wonders would be very fucking appreciated for once.
@@DestinyAwaits19 What good is all our comfort and products if society is destroyed this century? Capitalism is simply not sustainable in its current form.
@@mikestaub It's perfectly sustainable. It's so sustainable it's lifted billions out of poverty in the last 50 years.
@@DestinyAwaits19 50 years is nothing when it comes to the history of civilization.
@@mikestaub It's something when it made rural China into a world power. Capitalism is the greatest economic feat in history. Be thankful.
Thanks. So glad to see him being given a larger platform. This dude got me through high school with revolutionary vol 1&2.
What a profound interview. So glad I saw this. Thank you so much, Abby and Technique!!!
I feel seen. Thank you for speaking the truth, we don’t get much of that anymore.
I knew Immortal Technique was very intelligent just from listening to his music, but this simply proved that he sees the truth, beyond and above all of the bullshit.
Oh he's given mad interviews. I've been a fan for almost 20 years. Glad to hear!
I wish he would express his thoughts about the covid hysteria/tyranny that is the biggest social engineering/psy op perpetrated on mankind thus far. 9/11 on steroids.
Yeah i liked ghim back in the day when i was 18, but if you look at the history of central, and south america, its full of revolutionary atttemots at his socalled beloved system that failed, and had nothing but bloodshed.
@@spaniardsrk5108capitalism has caused more harm to the environment and has killed more people than what you’re trying to elude to Mr Spaniard.
@@QuikNik14 then why has the global population exploded since the turn of the 20th century. Because of the availability of food, due to capitalist innovations, equals more kids. Lol you parrots say the same bullshit lol. Talk to one commie, youve talked to them all.
My first interview while a sub to this channel. You couldn't have had a more focused person to share with us. This man speaks truth like Chuck D did to me years back. You don't just speak, you listen. Never heard of him either but no matter. Thanks for teaching me some things, and confirming others that I've learned over the years. Great show.
What an incredible conversation this was. The wisdom and cognisance that Immortal Technique has is staggering, and the same goes for Abby of course. Thank you for making this happen.
Abby Martin and Immortal Technique, what an awesome meetup. Great interview. Thank you!
These 2 got lot of respect
Great thoughtful conversations here as always. Stay well folks. 🫡
This was an awesome, amazing interview and conversation. Loved it. Thank you, Abby, for having this impressive artist/guest.
Immortal Technique's lyrics are so deep, so profound. This is what Hip Hop was always meant to be. Upset the status quo. Speak truth to power. Use the art to illuminate and educate. I salute you Immortal Technique.
Abbys question to pelosi at cop26 was one of the greatest moments in journalism ever. Shes a badass and apparently hot too.
I remember the interview Abby did with Immortal Technique on the old breaking the set days a decade ago. Still delivering radical truth all these years later despite the ever worsening situation.
The situation is ever worsening because of leftists like himself.
Yeah I thought I remembered her interviewing him on Russia Today about 10 years ago.
"Obama made spineless liberals feel progressive and Trump made stupid people feel smart."
That's one of the hardest bars I've ever heard from him and it's not even a bar. Spectacular quote
Facts 🎯🎯🎯
Sweetheart white folk BEEN stu8id… it didn’t start in 2012!!! 😂
The second part isn't that correct though. Everyone I know that's for Trump are far from stupid😂
@@analogueoverdigital929 Anyone honest will tell you that a large political movement will contain people of all stripes. This is a leftwing channel so Trump support will be characterized as racist, fascist, etc etc
This has got to be one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. Both Abby and Immortal were a breath of fresh air. I didn't think you could have objective thinkers in the media.
Good to see Abby after a long time !!!! Thank you for making this interview.
As Bobby Sands put it: “Our revenge will be the laughter of our children.”
Can't believe I stumbled across something so recent from immortal technique. His music was and still is so real. He gave me so many eye opening moments with his music. I fancied listening to "rich man's world" at a ridiculous hour and now for the first time I'm hearing him talk. Thank you so much for bearing more intrigue into this gent than I have for the last 5 years
The collaboration I never thought I'd get, but I needed so very much!
Bravo! BRAVO!! As a Canadian, I learned A LOT from this guy, thank you Abby.
This guy is full of himself. He walks around with a chip on his shoulder regarding capitalism and American global power. Maybe he should be thankful he lives in a free country where he can spew this bullshit and not suffer any consequences like being executed in a gulag prison system.
Always enjoy hearing Immortal. A beautiful blend of intellectual and revolutionary.
There's nothing intellectual or revolutionary about this guy. He sees himself as one, cause his head is so far up his ass, but truth be told he's a priviliged first world citizen. Maybe he should act like one and stop lamenting on the evils of the great Satan all the time.
@@DestinyAwaits19 our country has been far away responsible for the most wars of aggression and loss of innocent life since WW2. Maybe time for you to pull your head out of the sand and realize there will be consequences for these actions and it won’t be pretty. Empires come and empires go.
if you love this country then you should know questioning your government and dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
@@AmericanNope Are you greatful that you have running water? That you have electricity? A car? Do you own a smart phone? A computer? A fridge? We take these things for granted. But that's because we live in the 1st world. We should thank our lucky stars for capitalism and American democracy, and all the wonders its produced for the world, and stop playing the victim as if our country is responsible for all the evil in the globe.
There are far bigger satans out in the world like radical Islamic extremism that have killed more people than America ever has.
lol
“Trump made stupid people feel smart.” I’m glad someone said it.
*made them feel heard
That would make the statement more accurate.
Our government has made the majority of people into fucking idiots. I think that's way more accurate.
Still not true. Enjoy your 5 dollar gas, 6 bucks for a carton of eggs, and slowly being forced into poverty by Mr Biden and is crack smoking son. That's a whole lot better than 4 years of Trump and everyone in the media with a red dot target on him...??
Empathy is innate
Apathy is learned
Excellent interview
Thank you
Big respect to both of you for the the actions you take to improve others lives ❤
there is no left and right in the ussa. it is a single CORPORATION with a board of directors, and a rotating 4 year CEO term. The corporation always has the same mission statement regardless of the CEO. go Abby!! go Immortal!!
both right wing.
there is no LEFT
Convict # 9653 For President
(look it up)
that is when left wing politics was made illegal in USA.
left is anti-war. (period)
@@donHooligan i agree 100%. I am anti war and anti fascism. Today's "left" is pro war and pro fascism.. making them full rightwing
damn right@@peacefulcyclist7944
i'm always like...."well, a polar bear thinks you are a far right psychopath."
USA is off the rails.
i can hardly tell a difference between the rabid Dems and the rabid GOP voters anymore...i think it's the Dems clamoring for us to engage Russia!!!
i am a one issue voter if anyone ever opposed war.
It's based on fascism, not comunism.
Congrats you just described the far right
Incredible episode. I have so much respect for Abby Martin and the Empire Files!!!
Two of my favorite people who helped shape my life. Great memories - honestly, THANK YOU!
The song the 4th branch opened my eyes when I was a kid. I can only thank him for knowing what I know now
Literally the best interview ever. This is a MUST SEE!
Put two legends into a room. Much appreciation to you both. Might even watch this twice.
Immortal Technique I met in Philly in 2015, good principled man, glad Abby could interview him. My fellow Peruvian brother.
Excellent! Difficult topics, all connected & brilliantly articulated. Ive never heard of Immortal technique until now but looking forward to listening to all his work. Thanks for the dose of reality! Still miss Breaking The Set but look forward to every Empire Files video that drops. Survival of the fittest was coined by one of the founders of the eugenics movement, the truth is that Mutual Aid is the primary driver of evolution. Peace, love & solidarity from Scotland✊
Enjoy seeking out all his music u won't be disappointed
@@leesmith4813 His music is nothing but lyrics about dead fetuses and raping women. The guy has a serious grudge. Maybe he should take yoga classes.
You’re in for a treat.
You are in for a treat, he also has lots of interviews that are all amazing
AWESOME. The best interview I have ever seen or heard. I.T. is my favorite artist because of his insight and bravery to tell the truth.
And he's SOOOOOO underrated for it. His music is TOP SHELF and it is smothered and lost in these streets.
Cuz he speaks the truth and ryhmes off safety fr
@@desireegerber He's not underrated. He's throttled and shadowbanned and not promoted by the media machine like all leftist content 😥
@@Xara_K1 O no I agree completely. Thaz why he's underrated.
Artists of a similar vein that talk about similar subjects and aren't given the airtime (Because of what they rap about) are Akala and Lowkey in the UK. All of their fire in the booths are worthy of your time if you're unaquainted with them, and are a good introduction to their music.
Thank you Immortal Technique for turning so many on to Mumia Abu-Jamal with your Revolutionary Vol II album. I can never thank you enough for that. Please, don't ever stop, comrade.
Thank you Immortal Technique for helping raise my class consciousness as a teenager! Wish more artists used their platform like that.
One of the best political rappers ever!
I love immortal technique! Thank you for having him on!
Hey! That's immor*t*al!
One of the best interviews I've seen in a long time! Abby and Immortal are national treasures🙏🏾
So glad to see you back, Abby ! Thank you for letting me discover the discourse of Immortal Technique.
Thank you Abby and crew and shoutouts to Immortal Technique! He's a necessary voice and I'll be checking for the album and book
He’s really good, but sadly not enough people know about him. At all
Powerful interview and conversation!Thank you both!
911 was not an inside job?
It appears 911 is the one thing nobody can speak against. Even Abbey?
@@mischevious good reply thanks, and I inadvertantly posted the question as a reply to you.
I believe it was inside job, with Saudis setup to take some blame.
What a terrific show! Thank you, Abby for having Technique on; he was great! What will it take to bring some sanity to this country? Well, more impassioned programs like this may help. Whenever I feel hopeless and despairing about what is going on in this country something like this video comes along and helps me more than words can tell. You are both national treasures. The tectonic plates are beginning to shift; I can feel it in my bones.
Thank you both Empire Files & Immortal Technique for keeping it real, uncensored and contra to commercial journalism for so many years
It’s not often when I get excited because the interviewer and interviewee are a perfect match, but this is one of them.
been watching for abby martin and immortal content so this is the best to me. thanks yall much needed
The ignorance of so many people living in this country is unbelievable! Thanks for shining a light on it. I was ignorant about the ignorance!!!!
Wow. This is one of the best talks I've listened to in a bit. So many incredibly important topics and ultimately, how they are one topic. This is definitely going in my "Bother people until they listen to it" file. Everyone should share this. Excellent work y'all.
Wasn’t expecting this. IT was one of the most important artists giving social and political commentary alongside Rage Against the Machine post 9/11
Now it’s more like Rage On Behalf Of The Machine…lol.
@@EmilyMoyer elaborate bot
@@beefsupreme694 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the interview Abby!
I first heard of Immortal Technique years ago and when I first heard his songs he was spot on for sure. There is so much truth in his songs as well and he has a powerful voice. It's what I love about music is that it unites people from all different backgrounds. Immortal Technique is also very intelligent and he knows history. Very good interview Abby.
Finally... Thank you very much for publishing your last album in full for free online, Tech. Much respect
Powerful and inspiring interview.
Thank you both for telling the TRUTH as IT IS. Chapeau to your work and to your inner conscience! .
Damn this was too real. Mad props I love the message you’re putting forth Abby - keep ‘em coming
I’m old fella so don’t know who this bloke is but I’m glad kids are listening to him.
Damn this was great!! Thank you guys for this. I want to get Immortal Technique on my podcast too cause he’s spitting facts!!
Glad she's doing another interview with IT. Looking forward to this
Wait are you saying there was an older interview with IT?
This was an incredible interview. You've got a better handle on the world than most of the pundits out there! Keep it up!
Man listened to just the first few mins to far and love this guy and how knowledgeable he is, I haven't listened to much of his music I need to check it out now. Thank you Abby for fighting against the war machine
Some suggestions: the 4th branch, the 3rd world, and bin laden. All good songs.
@@traho811 thank you, I will check them all out 👍
I feel like this interview should have taken place... when I left school? 20+ years ago?
But hey... i'll take it. Love you both. Better late than never.
Preaching truth - One of the most important conversations that needs to be heard far & wide! Thanks to both of you for having this discussion & sharing it with the world!
Thank you so much for putting in all of your effort and dedication into your work. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work
Abby blessed us with a gem of an interview. Cant wait for the new album. I know it will be worth the wait.
Yeah! Abby + Teq Made my day haha! Thanks empire files!
Thank you for this. At as 76 years old I am becoming acutely aware of how ignorant I am. Thank you for teaching me. As a Canadian, I am very worried about the rise of Christian Nationalism in the USA spilling over into my country.
Too late.
Oh yeah cause they're WAY MORE dangerous than your leftist government 😅
I am a fellow Canadian and I am interested in your comment about Christian nationalism in Canada. where I am Christianity is on a steep decline with open hostility towards organized religion in general. nationalism is all but dead in Canada. Trudeau and his illiberals have been pushing post nationalism for years saying Canada has no national identity. I am not saying you are wrong simply that I don’t see what you are saying. Can you give me examples of Canadian organized movements of Christian nationalism gaining momentum? Thanks 🙏
@The Metamodern It seems you need to grow wise to the fact that Capitalism sucks no matter how, at what time or where it was applied. It is an ACE system for creating commodities. Nothing else.
@@BishopofBayeux You don’t seem genuine at all…based on your last comment. You seem like you just take offense to Christianity being criticized. Btw…”grooming” happens more in the church than any other organization. Deal with that.
Wonderful conversation. Thank you both
Great conversation, great performance. If only we could force everyone in America to watch this hour.
"Abby and Felipe sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G 🎶
First comes plotting, then comes traction,
Then comes Abby with some AK action 🎶"
Been following both of you guys for over 10 years. Crazy that we got here
What a strange world we live in, I''m an old, white fart of 70 but back in 2006, I spent a day in an Oakland jail with several, young black guys who were self-identified gang bangers but weren't familiar with Immortal Technique. And they got into a religious debate & I found myself playing the role of moderator & guide.
Thanks Abby and Mike for your continued productions.
Thank you for having such an amazing conversation and revealing the truth. More people should listen to this.
is very EMOTIONAL!!! Abby acknowledging Immortal Tech is. beautiful, he is sooo wise and self balances, reflexive and mature.epic, hope theres more
i loved this interview. that rage farming concept.. key
never expected this collab 😂😂😂
She interviewed him couple times. Same control opposition
Why they did a lot of interviews already in the past
@@sirkoes187 nah you're just indoctrinated, that's why ya got adrenochrome prep videos uploaded
@@jedaye47 you should look up what Passover really is. Wake up. I was one of you before. I was indoctrinated from the beginning of public schools. In the LAUSD. Leaving US for 4 years and leveling in South America. Woke me up. Most countries in Latin America are socialist. Is the worst thing next to a democracy. We need a Republic. God first
waiting for 'the middle passage' to drop like 💀
My favorite hip hop artist since 2001, when I met him at a 9/11 Truther conference, and he did an amazing freestyle while his crew was setting up. I bought his first CD and got him to autograph it. He cannot be beat!!
Dude has been my generations version of Roger Waters since day 1. Great Video, Abby!
Two of the realest people i know, I am who i am because of people like this, who are so brave at telling the truth the elite will shut them down!
This is great. Felipe has such an invigorating, flowing way of speaking, and he speaks with emotion without losing the truth. And as always Abby is as eloquent as anyone could be talking about these things. Awesome conversation
Born and raised NYer and I still live in NYC. In 4th grade my Hasidic Jewish teacher Ms. Richter sat us down and looked at all of us and said this is where I am supposed to teach you about Salvery. Tosses the text book and thought us the true history. She was the first person to help me decolonize my mind and will be forever grateful knowing how horrible White America are and how they were worse than their British counterparts. And that is saying a lot because my grandma has some heartbreaking stories.
The Jewish Supremacist taught you all that? Thank you, however, for not lower casing my people and dehumanizing them like the AP Style Guide tells them.
You are too far gone and you need deprogramming. Did she teach you about the tens of millions of slaves sold to middle eastern and South American countries? 😂
This interview is amazing
Truly amazing to see these two come together. Thank you, Abby for making this happen. I can confidently say for a fact that Immortal Technique changed the entire trajectory of my life for the better, when I began uncovering his music towards the end of middle school/early high school. IT is the GOAT.
I loved Abby's work on RT, so it glads me to see she's still doing her thing. Loved the interview, which I found because I was looking for other songs of Immortal Technique than his Bush song that I listened to so many years ago. He really has his head straight, thinking critically! Great to see!
I’d love to hear a lecture or take a class from Tech. The mind inside this human, we need more of them.
