Immortal Technique

Underground, New York City based rapper who was born in Peru and usually raps about political subjects.By far the most educated rapper out there, if you listen to his lyrics, you will definitely have to look up at least some of the people or ideas he used in his music. Doesn't care who he offends, but most of his views would be described as liberal.Turned down a development deal from Sony to remain independent.

Immortal Technique is an activist and political rapper. Apart from being a revolutionary in his music, he is also noted for his talent as a lyricist and storyteller and has won many rap battles. In many of his songs, he references the strife of poverty in the slums of America and he points blame at politicians to the point of conspiracy theory. He has also expressed unwavering support for Mumia Abu-Jamal and has received support from Mr. Jamal in return. His politically based rhymes deal with the wrongdoings of the government, the media (The 4th Branch), religion, and law enforcement. He is a provider of esoteric knowledge. Among many controversial subjects, he raps about MK Ultra, the death of Amadou Bailo Diallo, and the alleged corporate media bias of outlets like FOX News to give only a few examples. To maintain his integrity he has yet to sign with a major label.

Born in a military hospital in South America, Immortal Technique was brought to Harlem in the early 1980's while a civil war was breaking out in his native Peru. After facing several charges of aggravated assault in the New York tri-state area, he was given a 1-2 year sentence in the mountains, 6 hours away from the city. Paroled in 1999, Immortal Technique quickly became known throughout the New York underground. His brutally disrespectful style was trademark, and it was not long until he had won countless battles. From Rocksteady Anniversary, to Braggin' Rites, SLAM DVD's and hookt.com's infamous battles, he established himself as someone who could captivate a crowd and who people looked forward to seeing. Turning his eye to production and touching up some of the songs he had written in prison he now focused on trying to get an album together, but major labels wanted a more pop friendly image and were uncomfortable with his hardcore street style that was complemented by his political views. In response to their lack of vision, Immortal Technique left the battle circuit and released his critically acclaimed Revolutionary Vol.1, which at first moved 3000 copies, but to date has moved more than 12,000. This earned him Unsigned Hype in The Source and numerous articles in Elemental and Mass Appeal. Being featured in XXL, The Washington Post, and having been titled with the Hip Hop quotable in The Source for his sophomore independent release Revolutionary Vol.2 was just the beginning. On Viper Records, where he is the Executive VP, he sold 29,000 copies of Revolutionary Vol.2 to date and has appeared on soundtracks for new movies including the new Mario Van Peebles film Baadasssss!. Immortal Technique has also worked with Mumia Abu Jamal and AWOL magazine. He often does features with Akir, who has become Technique's supposed right-hand-man. His single "Industrial Revolution" released in conjunction with Uncle Howie Records hit #1 on CMJ and #50 on the Billboard charts. His next release, The Middle Passage, is due in september of 2005. In late 2004, he released two singles from The Middle Passage. One, entitled "Bin Laden," features Mos Def and samples lyrics by Eminem and Jadakiss. The second, "Caught In A Hustle" will be featured with a number of Immortal Technique's songs in the upcoming movie This Revolution. The movie, which includes appearances from Technique himself, is set during the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City and chronicles the protests surrounding the convention in a pseudo-documentary style.

Example:
"I'm not trying to save the world, just make it more difficult for those who control it to do business as usual. My time will come and I will die or be killed. But hopefully someone will follow up my work..." Immortal Technique

Actually IS one of the best artists out there. Controversial, non conformist and sends out the right message. Along with authors such as Bill Cooper, he tries to move the people to take a stand against all that is wrong and corrupt with this world.

And for all of you saying Big L is better, I wouldnt expect you to appreciate something as deep as Immortal Technique when you listen to such shallow lyrics as Big L. You are the people who I.M. tries to get through to, the media runs your life, and you aspire to be alongside those who glamourise all the shit thats wrong with this world.

Shame on you.
And only white guys love him? What a sweeping statement to make. You're very wrong there. It's mostly intelligent people, and people that want to stand up and make a fuckin difference to this world, and the people who KNOW whats going on, who want knowledge and dont want to be opressed anymore that appreciate him.

Example:
"Cause Of Death"

Let the truth be known..

You better watch what the fuck flies outta ya mouth
Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house
Burn your apartment with your family tied to the couch
And slit your throat, so when you scream, only blood comes out
I doubt that there could ever be...a more wicked MC
'Cause AIDS infested child molesters aren't sicker than me
I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black
The way the government downplays historical facts
'Cause the United States sponsored the rise of the 3rd Reich
Just like the CIA trained terrorists to the fight
Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight
When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic
But I refused the offer, 'cause God sent me to strike
With skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke
My words'll expose George Bush and Bin Laden
As two separate parts of the same seven headed dragon
And you can't fathom the truth, so you don't hear me
You think illuminati's just a fucking conspiracy theory?
That's why Conservative racists are all runnin' shit
And your phone is tapped by the Federal Government
So I'm jammin' frequencies in ya brain when you speak to me
Technique will rip a rapper to pieces indecently
Pack weapons illegally, because I'm never hesitant
Sniper scoping a commission controlling the president

Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong
The truth will set you free, written down in this song
And the song has the Cause of Death written in code
The Word of God brought to life, that'll save ya soul..

Save ya soul motherfucker...save ya soul..

I hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence
Of Republican manufactured white powder pestilence
Marines Corps. flack vest, with the guns and ammo
Spittin' bars like a demon stuck inside a piano
Turn a Sambo into a soldier with just one line
Now here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind
They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars in 1989 to 1992
And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true
And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives
And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from the news permanently
They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
"Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse
Rocking a motherfucking flag don't make you a hero
Word to Ground Zero
The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th
The New World Order was born on September 11

And just so Conservatives don't take it to heart
I don't think Bush did it, 'cause he isn't that smart
He's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
The military industry got it poppin' and lockin'
Looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back
Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
Or a Defense budget of world conquest proportions
Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortions
Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted
And Dick Cheney, you fucking leech, tell them your plans
About building your pipelines through Afghanistan
And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan
You might have some house niggas fooled, but I understand
Colonialism is sponsored by corporations
That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis
I know the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis
In '98 when he was Top Ten for the FBI
Government ties is really why the Government lies
Read it yourself instead of asking the Government why
'Cause then the Cause of Death will cause the propaganda to die.

The Dopest and illest rapper to spit on a mic. His rhymes are so crazy and his lyrics are so amazing that when he spits he disintergrates mics. NO JOKE and No doubt. He is also the only rapper who has a reason to think he is better then the rest and has the right to brag and be obnoxious!

He touches on political topics and world issues, his lyrical dictionary is at a high level so he isnt some dumb ass. He fucks up mc's. HE IS THE SHITTT!

Example:
Some pussy:Yo, that immortal technique is ight

Immortal technique: No nigga your mothers pussy is an ight, your people getting shot in the street thats an ight! Im the fucking immortal technique nigga!

Criminally over-rated hatred-spewer. Yes, hate has an appreciative audience, especially if arguably baseless, conspiracy-driven lyrics are concerned which isn't a stretch considering he discusses a repetitive and limited array of topics without backing up what he proclaims to be the 'truth'. If you think Immortal Technique is 'deep' then you must have a dispairingly low IQ, despairing as it shows idiocy is far spread in this world and is corrupting the undergroud scene. This rapper has no flow at all, when he raps it sounds like a train wreck a million times over. There are quite literally hundreds of better rappers than him. IT is not intelligent, he caters for fools who lack knowledge and instantly believe what differs from the norm due to sheer ignorance and those who love ludicrous declarations. In short, they are imbeciles who need to read a few books and get an education, because let's be honest, only retards like Immortal Technique. That's no generalisation, that's a a fair assessment. His vulgar profanity isn't appealing, his rhyming skills are poor, his use of a high level lexis grouping reminds me of Cannibus, another pathetic rapper who utilises 'big' words to make himself sound clever to the masses when in actual fact, is a complete idiot. You herd of sheep are way too easy to fool. Immortal Technique is straight up wack. Go and masturbate over 'Dance With The Devil', you know you want to you bunch of dick-riding faggots.

Example:
Immortal Technique should give up rapping.

Overated contradicting rapper who talks only of murder and violence. While he has decent talent, his lyrics are extreme, and teaches only messages of hatred. He preaches and wishes for everyone to follow his examples, while if they did the world would be in complete anarchy (which is a bad thing.)

W I S H E S H E W A S B I G - L

Example:
Johnny: Hey Immortal technique just said he raped a chick and now the devil is chasing him for the rest of his life.

Mark: Wow thats a shame, and definantly not true.
