  • the son becomes the light of my birth and i live again" is that what he said?

  • People ride Immortal Technique's dick so hard that it must hurt him. By the way, I like some of his music... But he has shitty flow, terrible beats and he tends to speak on things he doesnt fully understand.

  • @Taellosify i used to think he was gimmicky but ive come back around to him he spits real shit n i fuck with the anti capitalist movement

  • @charliehustlenflow I agree with alot of his economic views and his views on American interventionalisim, but he gets retarded with all of his Illuminati talk.

  • @Taellosify yh man all that conspiracy stuff is lazy knowledge. it aint that hard to work out whats up

  • @charliehustlenflow Yup. I enjoy alot of Techniques stuff, I just hate how people act as if he's a top 10 of all time calibur rapper. Usual Technique fans... "THE GREATEST RAPPERZ OF ALL TIME R EMINEM 2PAC AND IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE!!!!1!'' Some of em get it though.

  • @Taellosify yh man fuck whos the nicest anyway i leave that to battle rap, if you spit real i fuck wit u dats all it is.

  • these guys have Afro Samurai/Samurai Champloo/Boondocks feel to them-

  • wow...CunninLynguists did a song with every one in the underground already o.o

  • <3

  • 7 people will never know why

  • Comment removed

  • what do they mean by "old fashioned people, they never know why" i dont really get it.....oh and techs verse is just beautiful

  • @Death2Fresh "Most dont even know why they believe what they believe in, never taking a second to look at life"

    I see it like this, most people just inherited their religion (for example) and just go with it. You're jew cuz your parents are jew, christian because your parents are, etc. You just accept it (with or) without questioning. Ok lemmi say that's the way i understood it, y'all can interpret as you see fit.. Peace

  • @ArmagedonVendetta You can take it much deeper than that, much deeper. But that dives into philosophical semantics. And like someone once said, the only truly philosophical question is whether or not to kill yourself, everything else is just a matter of practicality.

  • @Death2Fresh you have to listen to the original song by chris de burgh- "old fashion people" to understand what they are tryin to say

  • Hip-Hop for sure.

  • the coments are long and not written by dumb people

    hmmmm combinate combinate...

    ah i know

    the song is not dumb and has actually a message unlike other commerce c(rap)

  • Shit is dope

    Wrong album cover bruh

  • this is a good song

  • It disgusts me how this incredible music is suggested to Annoying Orange...

  • @WeezyRakimDrizzy lil wayne and drake blow

  • No its pussies like you and ignorant fucks son... Dont try to start a argument over youtube cus you wouldnt say shit to me if you were standing infront of me.

  • If you gave this a thumbs down you should just end ur life now cuz its pointless

  • @slicksly5 your telling someone to kill themselves for not liking the same song as you? that type of ignorance is what keeps this world in flames RT

  • wow.. i love it

  • Tech's voice has changed. Or maybe he just developed into what it is now. Compare it to what it was like in "Dance with the Devil" not as gruff.

    Either way.

    Tech's the best and always will be!

  • @Hurtloch he sounds drunk on this one lol. that might be it

  • decon the villon is dope and i think imortal tech fit the format of this song verry well i was sceptacal towards how he sound but once i herd it it was well played oh yeah djkno makes sick ass beats

  • HAHA FUK LIL WAYNE!

  • my head is still boping...

  • @thestevester94 hate hate hate hate hate!!!

  • @jdubs079 hahaha. Thanks

  • @thestevester94

    Wtf, what are you talking about?!

    Immortal Technique kills it!

  • @ToneDeff1000 Yes he did kill it. He took a perfectly good song with great production and killed the vibe and killed the song with his lack of flow, energy, lyrical relativity, and talent. So yes he killed this song.

  • @thestevester94 I disagree. Immortal brings to this beat a meaningful verse with good meaning , and gives it that more solemn, serious, raw type sound and quality, which is what i think cunninlynguists were going for on this type of beat, as seen by the very meloncholy beat and hook, along with the overall message of the song.

  • @inspecktadek Fuck now i wanna know @thestevester94 's comment

  • @nibbin131313 me too and i cant find it

  • @thestevester94

    No One A Dikk Rider But You! IT Is Amazing

  • @408Zion Dick Rider - A dick rider is a person who is usually and overzealous mindless fan of anyone(be it a rapper, singer, athlete, music genre, band, or any given thing). A dick rider see's no flaw in whatever they are dick riding at the time, and if you happen to offer an opinion or simply not like whatever a dick rider likes, the dick rider will consider your a "hater" for offering your opinion. That definitely is not me. And IT is mad whack.

  • @thestevester94

    0_0 sorry thnx for the info but i stop at the 3rd paragraph i didnt ask for you to rite a frkn book about it! And IT is one of the best Underground Artist in my opinion but i guesz evry one has their own opinion

  • @408Zion I didn't. It's called cop and paste from urban dictionary

  • @thestevester94

    Ohh well i didnt ask for the meaning tho hahaha

  • @408Zion You called me one when I clearly am not one. So I was just informing you.

  • @thestevester94

    Could of just said "Im not 1" :D

  • @thestevester94

    0_0 thnx for the info but i stop reading after the 3rd word! Sorry i didnt ask you to write a book dude !

    Nd in my opinion IT is one of the best Underground Artist but its my opinion nd you have a diffrent one

  • Comment removed

  • @sheva7speed Kool G Rap isn't mad whack. What is this supposed to prove?

  • Comment removed

  • @thestevester94 "And IT is mad whack." Whoa buddy just, stop right there. I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but saying Immortal Technique is mad whack is just ignorant and unintelligent. When you make a statement that goes against what 95% of the majority will disagree with then you are making a fool of yourself. His charity work and his aid in other countries is more than what any rapper would ever do.

  • @lobotomiez Since when the hell does work outside the studio contribute to his musical talent? 95% of people are fools then. He has no flow, no facts to back his subject matter, and tries to hard to make things rhyme. "I live vicariously through my kids Like a parent who loves a sport but can't play for shit" That is trying way to hard to make it make sense and to make it rhyme. A majority of people in the south thought Blacks shouldnt have rights. So did that make the others foolish?your logic

  • @thestevester94 A lot of his music about history and world issues. Trust me, the subject is REAL and ALIVE. We can go on and on about whether or not he's a good rapper, but you should respect the man. He's put in a lot of work and is more intelligent than the average man. Also, I do think what you do outside the studio has a lot to do with your musical talent.

  • @thestevester94 that actually does make sense. vicarious means : experienced or realized through imaginative or sympathetic participation in the experience of another. Also if you don't like his music, why go out of your way out of all of the videos on youtube to make a negative comment when you could be listening to music that you do like.

  • @NettechZelkova Last time I checked this is a Cunninlynguists song, who a greatly enjoy. I do enjoy this song. All but the last verse.

  • @thestevester94 Music has existed for thousands of years , I doubt marching into battle to the sound of WAR DRUMS was done for entertainment purposes in ancient times, indians didnt rain dance to the sound of flutes for entertainment purposes. And Furthermore My Ancestors Have Been Witnesses of War and The History They Tell is Much Different Than What You Have Read In any History Book. YOU CAN BE SWIMMING IN AN OCEAN FULL OF INFORMATION AND FACTS AND NOT HAVE A DROP OF WISDOM....................

  • @PanchoVillista u had to take that last line u said from some tv show........ but if you didnt that shits pretty deep like philosopher shit right there haha..

  • @saidshitt Since When Do TV shows keep it original, my granfather told me that shit in spanish when i was a little kid

  • @PanchoVillista AMEN!

  • @lobotomiez Also by your first logic, Bill Gates must be the best rapper in the world since he donates so much to charity and has so many of his own organizations.

  • @thestevester94 Your favourite rapper probably doesn't even have the balls to travel to a disaster-striken country, let alone a war-torn country. I guarantee Immortal Technique would rip your favourite rapper in half in a freestyle battle.

  • @lobotomiez I don't judge a person's quality of music by what they do outside the studio. I know my dad who is fighting in the war and has fought in 3 wars so he has bigger balls. Raekwon is much of a freestyler so I'll go to second favorite which is Kool G Rap who would neuter Immortal Technique.

  • @thestevester94 If you dont like immortal technique personally thats fine but if you cant admit how great his contributions to hiphop have been then you truly arent a fan of the genre or care about it. its obvious to me that u are just here to see how many people you can annoy, cant you go do this at a lil wayne or 50 cent video?

  • @TheHempMessiah "if you cant admit how great his contributions to hiphop have been then you truly arent a fan of the genre or care about it" What contributions has he made besides idiotic double standards, contradictions, and bad music? Lil Wayne and 50 cent actually make some enjoyable music.

  • @thestevester94 Big record deal executives warned Immortal Technique about people like you. They told him his lyrics were too deep for feeble minded turds like urself to comprehend. It makes sense to me that you think lil wayne and 50 cent make enjoyable music. Party like its ur birthday homo

  • @TheHempMessiah 1. IT has pretty much stated he has and never will meet with Big Record Label Executives. So thus proving your first point wrong. 2. His lyrics aren't deep. 3. I am not feeble minded. My understanding of politics and the world is far superior to that of Immortal Techniques. 4. Enjoyable =/= good 5. So because I like to party with many woman like it is my birthday I am gay? Again makes no sense.

  • @thestevester94 Really? Your understanding of politics and the world is superior than that of Immortal Technique? and you know this because you know him? or are ur assumptions based on his music? SO what is your favorite source of information? LOL and listening to 50cent does mean ur gonna party with 'many woman' it just means ur stupid enough to think his music video is your life LOL. Id rather listen to creative music with a smart woman not brain dead loose sluts. for each their own

  • @TheHempMessiah Yes. They are. I have watched all his interviews. He never knows what he is talking about. When you call someone stupid at least take the time to spell "you're". 50 cent has a much better flow and beat selection than IT. He is a much better rapper skillwise.

  • @thestevester94 Immortal Technique sounds smarter than you when he farts bro,

    ur a total idiot thinking music made for money is better than music made for ART.

    Funny how like Sarah Palin, you had a hard time telling me what your favorite source of information is. LOL it shows U R a dumbass! ahaha get a fuckin clue you turd.

  • @TheHempMessiah That Peruvian schmuck never knows what he is talking about. He says misinformation that he believes to be true that isn't. It doesn't matter what music is made for. It matters what the end result is. Thats like saying a 4 year old with the intention of making a song for his mom to love will be better than a musician who makes music for money but has far more talent. the sources I tend to refer to are history books, eye witnesses of the war, and my study of economics.

  • @thestevester94 Provide an example of something Technique says that is misinformation. What bugs you the most?

    I like artists like Alexipharmic, humble people that make great music for a cause WILL ALWAYS be better than dumbass clowns signing and dancing about money and hoes. THOSE artists are forgotten, people like Tupac and IT are urban legends that never die. The only schmuck here would be you. Pathetic little troll get a fuckin life and an ear examination. pussy

  • @TheHempMessiah He is a walking contradiction. He says one sentence there is Illuminati then the next he says that it doesn't exist. He also is always promoting freedom speech but he supports Castro who will have you thrown in jail for speaking your mind. Do you know how many underground rappers rap about that money and hoes that you probably enjoy? 2pac even rapped about that, so another contradiction. So you attack me online and call me a pussy and pathetic? You are a fucking walking paradox.

  • @thestevester94 Your last comment illustrates that you dont know shit about Technique or his message. It shows you dont know shit about Fidel Castro, or anything about socialism/communism. And it also shows how you misinterpret Tupac and his lyrics. You shouldnt brag about knowing alot when you go around spewing such ignorance. read a fuckin book.

  • @TheHempMessiah 1. He has no valuable message To understand 2. I have studied Castro's Cuba and his rise to power and his Military dictatorship 3. I have studied what socialism and communism are (they are two seperate things) and there presence in the 20th century 4. What is there to misinterpret? He clearly hlsays in even his most famous song Hit Em Up that he will count his money and that he fucked biggies wife. Money and girls. 5. I have read many. Cone down from your high then talk.

  • @thestevester94 You assume that socialism and freedom of speech cant coexist in a society, thats what you misinterpret because you dont understand. And are you going to judge tupacs overall message from 'hit em up'? you know very well tupac is NOT jst another money and bitches kind of rapper. and what is it with you talking down to me about my 'high' and calling me an 'idiot pothead'. wtf do u have against cannabis? your boyfriend lil wayne seems to like it, he must have ruined your perspective

  • @TheHempMessiah Cuba =/= Socialist. Cuba = Communist. Communism = No Freedom of Speech. So Cuba = No freedom of speech. I never said 2pac's overall message was that. You being an elitist assume all underground and older rap has no talk of money and hoes, so I proved you wrong. 2pac has some songs about money and girls. That is because your logic is like you are high 24/7 and you are an idiot and a pothead. I know smart pothheads, unlike you. Very mature bit to end with.

  • @thestevester94 Seriously bro ur rants look very similar to Jared Loughners. Im not trying to be funny but seriously google his rants and u will see how similar ur thought process is to his. Its HOW u talk about money and girls that matters but u cant seem to grow enough balls to admit or understand what im trying to say about all the corny shit u enjoy. so fuck off kid go rant to the next person that talks shit on ur top 10 rapper video, i can tell im not the only one that thinks ur an imbecile

  • @TheHempMessiah What ever you say. It is still amusing how you try to make a point against me thinking I'm stupid, then see my rebuttal then just abandon it all together. I was just defending my opinion but you blew it up. But I enjoyed our disagreements. It is still funny how most of my list consisted of well respected rappers that are legends and you pull that whole "real hip hop", "legends never die" bull shit on me. But it is your opinion in the end.

  • @thestevester94 It would be nice 2have freedom of speech in Cuba but it would also be nice if our 'free press' actually worked. We R no more or less fascist in terms of freedom of expression. people that tell the truth get ignored, discredited, or killed. state tv in cuba is no more or less different to our version of state tv = cnn, fox news, abc, cbs its all the same even tho it seems different just like our 2 parties in power. to me i just think ur a disgruntled right winger u said 'elitist'

  • @TheHempMessiah You are half right. The news stations are more opinionated than factual but you can find more truth here. I don't see how using the term elitist makes anyone a "disgruntled right winger" especially when it refers to music.

  • @thestevester94 Its funny how u dont understand something that is smacking you in ur ugly mug. News outlets dont care about the truth or to inform u. all they care about is ratings and money. SAME FUCKING THING WITH MUSIC. the clowns you like dont care about hiphop, the people that listen to it, that grew up with it. all they care about is exploiting the art to make money at the expense of idiots that are willing to buy the crap they sell. i cant believe how blind and indignant you choose to be

  • @TheHempMessiah What clowns I like? The 10 rappers that all are well respected by hip hop fans and are considered by hipsters (people like you) as "real" hip hop? Music is about entertainment and enjoyment. Now take that in and throw all that "real" music bullshit out of the window. Then you should understand.

  • @thestevester94 Hey. I was peepin at your conversation with thehempguy and you said, "the sources I tend to refer to are history books, eye witnesses of the war, and my study of economics."

    I'm a teenager and want to learn more about history and how the system of america works. do you recommend any history books?

    Btw, I like Immortal Technique but I do agree a lot about what you said.

  • @thestevester94 No sir.Music is more than entertainment for many people,just because YOU look at music as nothing more than entertainment doesnt mean everyone else doesnt.

  • @skatintildawn No its not. It is entertainment all around.

  • @thestevester94 okay,thats YOUR opinion,you dont speak for everyone who listens to music you ignorant fuck lol.are you that retarded?

  • @skatintildawn No it is fact. People listen to music to enjoy it about 100% of the time.

  • @thestevester94 I listen to music because it helps me if I can relate to the emotion.

  • They don get the credit they deserve

  • @ArsenalZizou my co workers ask me why i don't listen to real muzic when i play this at work ;(

    But what the fuck do they know they walk around singing lady ga ga all day! lol!

  • @stpthreat1 Tell your co workers to go fuck themselves and then to shut the fuck up about unimaginative, unoriginal, gimmicky, and soulless music made for money.

  • @Creixhitme real talk fuck em

  • it is weird that im hard?...love me some good hip hop

  • immortal technique is probly the most lyriclist rapper out there homie he speaks the true truth about the world homie and yeye his rhymes are pretty sick mane

  • I.T MURDERED THIS SHIT

  • KIMMMMMMYYYY!!!!

  • ...god damn, completely speechless..

  • Word up. This collab is sick. They killed this song.

  • Why everyone likes 50 cent , lil wayne ?? i dont get it they don't even good!!

  • @dawid12ll dog u cant type worth shit. haha but yay i agree

  • probably one of the illest collaborations in hip hop history. This is fuckin' dope.

  • Comment removed

  • "This is a normal occurance not something radomly real" this song snapps. And it goes hard with subs.

  • Percee-P...My personal favorite SUPER dope emcees that MOST ppl haven't heard of is (in no order): Diabolic (he's in top 3) Crooked I (ditto) ELZHI (may be 1, but def top 5) LOUIS LOGIC (def top 5) Tonedeff (top 5) Juice Royce REKS (forgot to mention dude who is SICK with it also on "Grey Hairs LP" debut in 01 also...Bolic and other mcs love this dude, has worked with primo, large professor, staik selektah, alchemist already to name a few dope producers) Copywrite BROTHER ALI
  • Apathy and Celph title are on Sin-A-Matic...Misery Loves Comedy is another dope album and Louis has been featured on a lot of stuff (has an album called Odd Couple w/ Jay Love which is solid), has a ton of b-side 12 inch stuff pre his debut (a track called Loudmouth samples Em saying, "I used to be a Loudmouth" from Bad Meets Evil on the CLASSIC SSLP...Louis loves Em in his prime), Gentlemen and a scholar, tons of great songs...He and Apathy/Celph had a falling out (weird b-c track Apathy is on)

  • LYRICAL raw hip hop album of the last 5-10 years NO QUESTION. First time I heard bolic on RECORD was on the DWD secret song, but I was a soph/jr in college when it came out (03 i believe, possibly 01) and GO AHEAD AND GRIP GLOCKS verse made me go GOD DAMN...I knew he was SUPER DOPE and that I had seen him somewhere before and then it clicked that I had seen him get SCREWED on a Showtime (whose next) contest where he spit a free AND MURDERED this wack female mc (but got jerked)...

  • @jthesnake77 the grip locks verse is from diabolic,

  • form a SICK top 5 when you talk about lyricists especially that top 4...Canibus I don't like much these days also...I liked him more from 96-03 on some "beats from the east" ish w/ redman and lost boyz where he MURDERED and i mean murdered the last verse, plus mic curriculum is a nice album as is the one produced only by Stoupe (of JMT...RIP THE JACKER). I don't like Bis post 03 much either. BOLIC MURDERED Bis's lazy verse and VINNIE PAZ on his CLASSIC debut LP LIAR & a Thief which is a top 10

  • Yea I forgot Chief Kamachi (even though he left b-c of beef with vinnie, who i didnt mention and i like him also) who is real dope...Michigan huh? On the low they may have the illest top 5 dope emcees of any city (living emcees) not name nyc and they give them a run for the their money also....Em, Elzhi, Royce 5'9, ONE BE LO (from binary star, peep him if you don't know...REAL REAL DOPE), and Invincible (dopest female emcee in the game along w/ jean grae spitting today...rah diggah also)

  • didn't mention ToneDeff who i think is super dope also...Other dope emcees most don't know (non heads)...RA the rugged man, copywrite, most of AOTP (especially reef/apathy), Rhyme Asylum (mostly possessed who is sick with it), lowkey, mf doom, sean price, skyzoo....I like IT still, but moreso when I was in college (01-05) and I like when he rhymes more calm like Harlem streets, leaving the past even though he's known for that RAW LOUD ISH (dope also)

  • @jthesnake77 Yeah them cats all kill it. The only ones I can disagree with are Canibus - he can tend to flow off beat at times, MF Doom - great producer, mediocre MC to my ears, and Sean P. Sean P is dope as hell, but he seems more of a punchline rapper, at least what I've heard, and his punches just aren't on the same level. He's certainly far from mediocre though. RA killed it on Uncommon Valor. My personal faves from AOTP aside from Paz would have to be Celph and Kamachi.

  • @jthesnake77 I wish Kamachi hadn't left AOTP. The religious imagery he brought to his verses (especially on Pages In Blood) was out cold to me. His Concrete Gospel album was dope though. And I think Celph's verse on Seven was the best verse on Ritual Of Battle. You're right about Tech's more laid back stuff too. Leaving The Past is one of my favorite songs of his. Still, to me he's just as good technically as any you mentioned aside from Bolic. Although I'm sure I can't convince you of that.

  • @jthesnake77 It's cool though. Nice talking to someone who loves the art enough to study it so in depth. Respect from one budding hip hop scholar to a full fledged one.

  • @htpdemoneyeskyo is called Best friends (dope storytelling track...).....Dudes you must check out as a hip hop head if you already haven't...LOUIS LOGIC, ONE BE LO (sick rhymes, deep, and from Mich), Juice (beat Em in finals of 97 rap olympics in a CLASSIC 3 overtime win, TONS of ppl say he's the best OFF THE TOP freestyler and/or battler ever, plus he has 2 great LPs called LISTEN2THEWORDZ and Tip of the Iceberg)...Peep the track KGB from Binary Star (has Elzhi, One Be Lo and Juice on it)

  • @htpdemoneyeskyo....not including LEGENDS a ton of ppl haven't heard of like kool g rap, pharoahe monch, masta ace, etc (all in my OVERALL top 10-15)

  • @jthesnake77 Pharoahe monch! one of the sickest em cees!

  • @htpdemoneyeskyo....but yea good stuff man...bottom line is peep LOUIS LOGIC, ONE BE LO, RHYME ASYLUM, JUICE, PERCEE-P, COPYWRITE (he was my diabolic for me before i knew bolic and still nice, but Liar and a thief is better than any album he's had...he did MURDER that clown Asher Roth though, twice, esepcially CREAMATION), TONEDEFF as it sounds like maybe you haven't heard much of these dudes....All VERY dope mcs...I've kinda slept on Vast Aire and need to peep Cold Ox or Blue Vein whatever

  • @jthesnake77 hahaha Copy shits on asher all day. Cremation is a tight song, so is the real fake shady! Stay underground and filthy!

  • better TECHINCALLY at the art of LYRICISM in my opinon. And again I like Immortal quite a bit (especially his first 2 albums), but you can't argue that anyone i named (Em in UNREAL LYRICAL prime, not post 03/04) isn't a super dope lyricist. Didn't mention other dope emcees like canibus, az, jay (96-03 only), Redman, Method Man, Gza...Technique himself would say everyone i named is SUPER DOPE lyrically

  • Chris De Burgh- Old Fashioned People

    :)

  • Am I the only one who thinks Immortal Technique is a painfully overrated rapper? He's good, sure, but nowhere near the best.

  • @ChunkyPirate Yep, pretty sure you're the only one who thinks that.Personally, I can't think of a rapper who's really on his level, all the way round. It's all good, though. Having different opinions just makes life more flavorful. Peace.

  • @htpdemoneyeskyo Sure, I can respect opinions, taste-wise, but MCs like Vast Aire or Crooked I are leagues ahead of Technique, lyrically and skillfully.

  • @ChunkyPirate Both incredible MCs right there. Crooked I is better at going off the dome no question, but lyrically I don't feel he's as versatile as Tech. Kinda the same with Vast Aire. His stream of consciousness stuff kills it, but Tech's got him on politics, battle rhymes, and story telling, I feel. Also, the way Vast flows kinda slow makes him sound like he's freestyling most of the time, giving himself time to come up with the next lyric. Not that he's off beat or anything.

  • @ChunkyPirate It just creates that impression. Still "Shu (God of Aire) has gotta be one of the best rap songs in history. It's funny that you mention those two MCs in particular. Tech gave Vast a shout out on the "Beef and Broccoli" skit from Revolutionary Vol. 1, and Crooked guested on "Lick Shots" from The 3rd World. That would probably be a great way to get a perspective on things. Just listen to both their verses back to back and compare.

  • @htpdemoneyeskyo respect what both of you are saying, but in terms of the TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF RHYME SCHEMES, MULTIS, FLOW, TONE, REWIND THAT ISH, i give the edge to Crooked I as a MORE TALENTED emcee. IT def has MUCH deeper/more diverse content and is a great emcee in his own right (although they yelling can get old), but in terms of the ART of rhyming, Diabolic on his own lable is a BETTER LYRICIST (Tech has said so himself). Crooked I, Elzhi, Louis Logic, Juice, Em (96-02), Big L, Pun, G Rap

  • @jthesnake77 Ha ha, yeah I feel you on the yelling, although it IS nice to know that his delivery will be consistent. You don't have to worry, "how will his voice sound on this?" You already know. I guess when I judge lyricism, I tend to look at the big picture. Storytelling ability, wordplay (by which I mean metaphors, similes, puns and so on), and having something to say holds just as weight to MY OWN PERSONAL judgment of who is a good lyricist.

  • @jthesnake77 Everyone has their own judgment, and they have their own standards, so I don't think anyone will ever see eye to eye on who's the best. I would still call it even in terms of the technical aspects between IT and Crooks, that's just me though. But I do agree with you as far as Diabolic goes. Bolic's got him in terms of the technical aspects. He's also a better off the dome freestyler than Tech is these days. And I think he bodied Tech on that hidden track from Revolutionary Vol. 1.

  • @jthesnake77 I saw them both together at Rock The Bells 07. I had never heard of either one of them previously, and when Bolic did his verse from the hidden track, my jaw dropped. They had the best live show I've ever seen. As far as the other MCs go, I haven't heard of Louis Logic, so I'll definitely check him out. The others, like I said, everyone's got their own method of judging. All incredible artists though. Especially Elzhi and Em (Michigan represent!)

  • @htpdemoneyeskyo LOUIS LOGIC's Sin-A-Matic debut album is a classic...dude reminds me of a black young em...amazing rhyme schemes, real funny, great multis, instead of drugs though (a la em) he's known as the "drunken dragon")....he used to be apart of the Demigodz click which had Apathy, Celph Title (who i think has nice punches, but is a better producer than mc as he's pretty one dimensional)...Louis MURDERED his verse on JMT's track TRINITY on their classic (Visions of Ghandi back in 2000)

  • @htpdemoneyeskyo...pharoahe monch, common (especially when he comes raw), black thought, mos/talib (not as LYRICAL per se, but very lyrical in their own right and great content...i like them better than IT), Diabolic, the rest of slaughterhouse (again tech admits they're all "superdope lyrically"), NASIR JONES, Masta Ace (not unreal lyrically all the time, but flow, tone, and some solid multis make him a better TECHNICAL mc to me, Biggie, Pac, Rakim, Percee-P, One Be Lo...Everyone i named are

  • @ChunkyPirate Anyways, shoot me a message sometime. Always a pleasure to debate or just talk with a fellow hip hop head. Peace.

  • tech is fucking crazy but he can rap.

  • Anyone know what the sample in the beginning is?

  • omfg the 2 best rappers

  • tech's verse is muderousss

  • they should work together more often.

    they kill it.

  • six people are being controled by MK ultra and hit thumbs down

  • badass song

  • I actually did accidentally hit thumbs down, but then i fixed it =)

  • the damn chipmunk chorus really ruins the song for me

  • 6 people accidentally hit thumbs down....

  • @skjmuse cause they like bieber

  • beautiful hip hop

  • I love Immortal Technique. Nice philosophy, great ideas, incredible rapper. But, his verse in this song just doesn't fit. Had he done a narrative as did the first guy - it would have been perfect! But, he didn't and the song suffers for it.

  • does anyone know what song is in the frist 15 seconds of this song??

    Thanks

  • FUCKIN AMAZING nuff said

  • bass is fuckin amazing

  • junk

  • What's the sample in the beginning?

  • cunninlyguists and immortal technique what a combination

  • i love immortal tech music he is unbelievable great lyrics and great beat

  • nygrafite1 thanks man

    you just summed up everything i was trying to say about tech for years now

  • Immortal Technique can never make enough music every new verse i hear illuminates me opening my mind to a whole new level of knowledge nd understanding

    Tech 4 Life

  • Knowledge can be gained on your own just use things around you for inspiration thats my view.

  • standard brotha! he has always been on nxt level 2 any1 else

  • @nygrafite1 he's easily in the top 3 rappers of all time

  • totally agree im glad theres people out there that appreciate REAL music

  • wtb eyedea + immortal tech + tech n9ne + slug + aes rock + cage + apathy + murs with krizz kaliko singing the hook and dj abilities and ant on the beat.

  • @geemet through sage francis in there or r.a the rugged man and that would be a could little mix

  • @nygrafite1 Immortal Technique Is The Best Ever Bro

  • @nygrafite1 no one will ever understand how brilliant tech is. He's a fucking genius, honestly he gives me hope for the future.

  • @zachyboy13528 you should give yourself hope for the future this nigguh cant do it alone

  • @nygrafite1 hahaha with all the arrogant people in my generation? Dunno bout that one.

  • i resent that, immortal technique is the shit true dat but he focuses too much on the war, like EYEDEA rap battles better than I.T. no doubt & has a sicker flow than immortal tech but like I.T. is on a level of his own because everyone is diff... EYEDEA focuses more on enlightenment lmao

  • i hate it when people compare Immortal Tech to other rappers and try to claim superiority over eachother, nobody even comes close to how good technique can deliver a verse, the power and the clarity of the message is unbelievable that it just cant be compared, plus The Middle Passage is on the way so its way to soon to claim superiority

  • @zulinator lol "i hate when people try to compare rappers because, when i compare them, he's just so much better and my opinion is fact so like...why even do it"

    that was a pretty stupid comment man

  • i didnt compare him to anyone else jackass but nice try at trying to sound smart, instead we should compare ur mom to ur sister, ur sister was tighter but ur mom was way more experienced...!
