    Immortal Technique is one of the greatest rappers out there. I don't even agree with everything he says but the man has a way with words and is very talented.

    It's a damn shame that people don't know about Artist/Activist like Immortal Technique, which in my opinion, is within the top 3 true Hip/Hop artist of all time. His music is outstanding, his lyrics teach to does who want to learn.

    yeah few days back he decided to take a break from music and focus on his studies, but he said he may come back to the music when hes done with studies..personally i think he will come back stronger than ever with even more knowledge on his shoulders...but he also stated he doesnt like how the music business was changing his ego,, this guys is too real, thats why i admire the shit out of him,, true artist that speaks for the people..great man, i continue to share his music everyday i can.

    Exactly... We are all born, living and dying on this planet together as a single species. The Human species, stuck on this rock that we trash, and take it for granted... People don't understand how pure and perfect it has to be to survive and thrive on a planet in such a vast universe. We are all humans beings, But it somehow seems only a handful of people feel that way into today's way of life.

    "Pawns only move a square in the game that they’re used in
    And realise it too late, like the shootin’ of Huey Newton
    Or Patrice Lumumba and Salvador Allende
    Slaughter by the power hungry branches of their own gente
    Ghandi wasn’t killed by Pakistani nationals
    He was assassinated by a Hindu radical
    And Che Guevara, rebel to a U.S. continent
    Was sold to the C.I.A. by Bolivian communists..."

So you can basically say Guerilla Warfare could be the Palestinians, cause they are fighting for freedom and for their land but get attacked day in day out so they respond with guerilla war? And would the Palestine and Israel war be called a Civil War?

    @8KingFisher I really respect your way of thinking; its so true. I agree, I was also offended by the pure and simply emotional propaganda and sympathy creating crap. Yeah, people think by clicking 'Share' or liking a status is actually helping anything, and as you said, thinking they are activists.. I mean the whole campaign has such an obvious hidden agenda.
    It is so good to know there are people like you who question things like this and have not been manipulated by the media devil.

    @supah4xor 13 років тому

    I was a man blessed by God to survive some of the worst circumstances
    I had many things; a beautiful woman I loved, a home, money
    And I gave it all up to bleed and to die free
    Sometimes I look back on that life and I wonder what it would've been like
    And in moments of weakness I think about trading it
    Then I snap the fuck out of it and I get back to my reality
    And I realize that I'm in the heart of a war
    And that's the place a martyr is born!

  • @cheese3735
    @cheese3735 13 років тому

    Notice in the start of the song the man who speaks says he's willing to die for his beliefs, and that people will remember him for that, and the other man says " no they'll forget " that's a very important message. People don't appreciate the very important people after they're gone.

BTW artists can still be amazing even if they DO have different styles/messages. Otherwise I agree with you.
