Immortal Technique-The Philosophy of Poverty

[unparaguayo]

pero q imbeciles son porq cantan en ingles son latinos?? HDP y para colmo al final dl video hablan en castellano...

[thomasconnor97]

I'm tired of everyone thinking every cop is immediately a pig. It pisses me off.

[ac1dchr15t]

I'd rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately trying to be something I'm really not just to fit in; And whether we want to accept it or not; That's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.

[TheRingLeaderMan123]

@4evaFranyify Plenty of people sound good now...but as Tech says here..."The problem with being a conformist by changing the system from within, its not you who changes the system, but the system who changes you" Obama is the perfect example. Whether you liked him as a candidate or not, he promised a lot that simply as president is impossible to achieve...same with Ron Paul. He's very smart and specifically, his views on foreign policy are spot on, but how much would get done if he were prez?

[JMM020393]

He is preaching true poetry in this song

[TwiztedAnimator]

"We are in the same struggle and until we realize that, we'll be fighting for scraps on the table of a system that has kept us subservient." ~ Immortal Technique

[MrCaracas1000]

@4evaFranyify ur welcomee

[MrCaracas1000]

@4evaFranyify No he wouldent Ron Paul is a libertarian and Immortal technique is a Socialist

[MTF907]

He got fucked over by 106th and park. He raped poster boy in that battle.

[hcsuarnefeiT]

Now u know who the enemy is. Ask them.

[daniel977]

it sounds like iving in america sucks, unike denmark :)

[sekent2]

@daniel977 are "L's" a rare commodity in Denmark?

[THC4ME1]

100% true



[NaomiPalmer09]

deep .. to expand on Tha God we Create.. ~

my skin color , my vessel , makes me white...my love for all people makes me human and my mission comes from be being a spiritual being having an earthly experience.. BeIN(ener)Gy ..

[j0bzz]

@NaomiPalmer09 thats such a white person thing to say.

[Tefnuthotep]

This country was fucked up way before Obama was voted into office. At this point, election is the lesser between two evils. But that is beside the point. We need more lyrical revolutionaries like Immortal Technique speaking the truth about what is going on is society today. Fight poverty. Fight ignorance. Fuck social class. Fuck keeping up with the Joneses. Pick up a book. Feed your mind. Uplift your community. Make a positive impact in your world. That's real talk.

[narcissisticpolitics]

@MrSublimerusty i belive bush was at least 10 times worse than obama, but if you can give me a resonable explination for your thought that would be nice

[MrSublimerusty]

I really cannot stand this Stereotype of America as a whole. Yes, I agree that the leaders of America are corrupt as fuck, and horrible. Barack Hussein Obama is THE worst president in American history, (i figured I'd throw this in just because I know I'll get verbally attacked with comments on me being racist..which is not true) and no, it's not because he's half black. It's sad to me what my own Country is coming to, and how I can literally do nothing, I am only 17..

[samstuhful]

support this dude, go buy his shit, because i dont want nobody dyin nobody at all idc what you did if you dead tears is gonna be evoked. dont underestimate the love of a human.

Gives you alot to think about

[danbrooks39]

what does he say at the end?

[BlueBoon445]

NATO

[molomix23]

all of us "minorities" should unite, fuck classism fuck the system we are the youth we are the future

[LighterOfDewbies]

@molomix23 Why only minorities (nonwhites)? Stop being exclusive that's racism.

[kaleo183rd]

@LighterOfDewbies True, But it is White Elites that controll, all, including Non-white elites,

But you're right, the elites also fuck over regular whites aswell

[LighterOfDewbies]

@kaleo183rd No, that doesn't work either. That's still racist. What color is our President, the most "elite" and powerful person in our country, again?

[kaleo183rd]

@LighterOfDewbies True but he's a puppet like all other presidents, of most goverments, a facade, But Looking at history, It has been whites that spread out to conquer the world, only now its alittle less emphasis on race, bama and Bush Jr, administration had much diversity in race and gender, but the class goal, Class interest, (capitalist/imperialist) have no color, except green,

[LighterOfDewbies]

@kaleo183rd Yes but that's besides the point. Only a microscopic fraction of whites have been the elite imperialists guilty of exploitation throughout history but people like molomix use that as an excuse to separate all whites from the rest of humanity in their quest for freedom. People like this who overemphasize racial barriers are just as much of a poison to the human race as the elite imperialists they mention.

[ReunitePeace777]

Love that accent!!!

[surgenvasion]

this is real tru story

[MediRebi]

TO ALL PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW WHAT GOING ON OUT THERE IN THE WOLRD I SUGGEST THAT YOU LISTEN TO THIS AND OPEN YOUR EYES

[remix1on1]

@ThaGodWeCreate Thats real.

[ThaGodWeCreate]

@remix1on1 thanks...all of humanity is really one organism and an organism at war with itself...is doomed

[ThaGodWeCreate]

WE NEED TO STAND TOGEHTER AGAINST THA NWO AGAINST THA CENTRAL BANKS...AGAINST THA FEDERAL RESERVE...ALL COLORS...ALL NATIONS...NO RELIGION...JUST FAITH. I am a white person and i know what other white people do is evil...i kno that money is evil but we gotta stop fighting eachother because of different colors or religions they are trying to divide us....UNITED WE STAND!!! IM WITH ALL COLORS ALL OF HUMANITY THAT STANDS FOR FREEDOM & LIBERTY FOR ALL

[j0bzz]

@ThaGodWeCreate

youre being a white apoligist. youre trying to sound 'urban' with all of the 'tha' bull shit. look man, im a white guy too, but i just act like myself.. and i love saying this, but, 'once you become of voting age, you will be able to change certain aspects of the government..'

[ThaGodWeCreate]

@j0bzz listen man, you know absolutely nothing about me. Im not a white apologist and i definately am not trying to sound anything, i spell "tha" that way cuz thats how it sounds phonetically. You claim that you "act like yourself" but i dont "act" at all...i leave tha acting for people who pretend to be something they're not. You missed my point anyway...we are all one and love for all man conquers all...and that...i will not apologize for. have a nice day

[j0bzz]

@ThaGodWeCreate bro, being a white kid on youtube typing 'tha' and 'cuz' is acting all day. im sure you even talk like that. what do i need to know about you? your post pretty much says it all. by the way, the 'nwo' is the government your parents helped develop. i know youre 14 and have all this crazy angst and need to lash out against authority and all, but keep it to local town hall meetings. your youtube comments arent changing the world; just annoying me.

[ThaGodWeCreate]

@j0bzz you shouldn't allow text from a stranger annoy you..have some fun...lighten up..im not real anyway, jus a figment of your imagination

[babybluedaswag1]

many people dnt know the truth

but mortal technique is another key to exposing them

they cant hide it any more go hard mortal technique

[samplingrate]

Lots of Marxist philosophy in this song. I think he understands. I really do.

[SuiciderBoy]

I like immortal's technique lyric cause it's so simple but so acurate. brothahaneef if you can upload more imortals songs, thanks. I'm not black or latina, im not asian just a regular guy from europe, but no matter were re you from its about who you believe to.

[FlabbyDwarf]

All white people are evil? That's ignorant, look at Obama he's Black/White, he might be evil. Every Race has evil people in it, we are all humans however.

[Fuzzymcstank]

@FlabbyDwarf nobody ever said that...?

[putacabrom]

its time for revolution latinos indians jamaicans cubans asians its time to stop this capitalism that has crew us up its time to stand up and make them face reality because we were so nice to them they took advantage and stole our lands our countries we have too take them out our countries and what they do cuz without us they would not be were they are now so is time to revolution all the countries please listen we r not slaves.to come and work for them. its time to change & kick them out.

[gus361]

why does it look like asia' has a bb gun

[GRANDMASTERKANE]

[REY4262]

y u tryin leave costa rica out dat shit piss me off costa rica part of it too

[ISeenACar87]

@REY4262 He mentioned your region, don't get mad cause he mentioned almost every name. What's important is he feels your struggle. Don't get so mad because a missed name drop cause I can easily turn around saying he didn't say shit for Africa countries.

[REY4262]

why does he mention lik every country but costa rica wat the fuck all da countries is latin america im costa rican an dat shit mak me feel lik he tryin put costa rica out wat da fuck

[Pyro365]

why does he have to talk instead of like rap to this beat what he says is legit but him talking to this fast beat just doest sound right

[maria610421]

The truth will always set you free, these idiot Bkacks, who murder their own, to serve the EVIL in our socities. The take money to kill their own, and have no loyalties, to no one and shout down the people who speak out of their stupidity and they cal us RACIST for out honesty.

Go there man, keep up the good work, you have my support. These House NIGGERS have no sense, like the ones who voted for OBAMA a HOUSE NIGGER sold out to the Jews the Zionist who wants everyone dead except them.

[maria610421]

Immortal You touch me in my heart and my soul, you have touche the truth in hy psychie, and move me in ways and words, I can only calol the absoute truth. Than you man, keep pumping it out.

That is what I want to hear in Rap music the truth. The Blacks Killed MalcomX one of the greates phrophets of out time.

[squashplaya0313]

technique speaks a powerful message

[metalhead20058]

[metal4ever00]

[shikouji]

[pitbullthe2]

[760alien]

[rotik07]

oh i apologize i didnt mean it to insult you. (seriusly) well tho u have offended me, but its ok. i wouldnt want to insult and argue about race or color. thats not me. have a nice day!

[rotik07]

im sorry for your troubles. i bet it made you stronger tho! well it is rare for latino's and blacks to live in beverly hill, tho some do. but immortal is talking about the poor latin/african countries that are trying to develop. the wealth is there, but it doesnt get to the public and only to politics. such a shame.

[telemanque]

peace to the gods and revolutionaries....we will never die

[IAMSHAK]

this brotha is deep. People need to listen to him and get out of their ignorance.

[matiasgriffiths]

HELL YEAH He is peruvian

[graffantipubli]

vamo arriba latinoameircaaaaaaaa!!!

[LOLIMWILD]

plzlneedhelp: You motherfucker YOU go fuck youself with your 1 inch dick.. Immortal is the only rapper that got the balls enough to attack the American system.. If you listen to this song you will see yourself that Immortal is the truth.. if only more people would listen to him.. P.S I fucked your mom and her pussy was good :D

[plzIneedhelp]

shut the fuck up street scum

[Lozg89]

WTF The point heh??? If ya dont like wat ya hear dont listen ya dick head

[plzIneedhelp]

I came to hear a song and get this dog shit !! i didint come looking for trouble

[Jcolinsol]

I uh, I hate the fact that so many "minorities" feel the need to define themselves by their perceived minority status.

What I mean is, uh, I hate that people choose to be people second, rather than first. Race is a delusion, gender is an even less significant division.

And all these things do is divide us. Unity is necessary for action, but unity is also dangerous. You have to be an individual as well.

[peterwilkins19]

Listen to more immortal. "f** a minority, I'm not politically minimal."

[Croutard]

i wish i was able to broadcast Immortal Techniques music on every channel of the TV so everyone can listen to wtf is going on in this world

one of Techniques best right here in my opinion

[beeyo56]

just remember have soldiers too. and we welcome your revolution. i agree we need to get out of those countries. you don't deserve the things we have. there will be a revolution that I promise. I hope you realize what you against. you don't stand a chance. if you think that communism will thrive in my country you have another thing coming. Besides you had a chance to fight and you lost didn't you.

[MEDINAINMIAMI]

FUCKIN AWSOME!

VIVA CUBA!

[plzIneedhelp]

WOW THAT SUCKED

[theausomeguy]

you got something better than this that makes sense and isnt ignorant in the slightest? Didnt think so, who are you to say what sucks?

Maybe, you suck.

[ToysOmadnesS]

@theausomeguy

writes a guy that is calling himself the awsome.. :D

[theausomeguy]

@ToysOmadnesS Do you know how long ago that was..? <_<

Eh...I'm not even going to bother,

someone needs a hobby. xP

Why don't you go play with your toys?

[Channel0productions]

your a straight ignorant fool, you should learn about the world you live in fool.

[peterwilkins19]

One of my favorite tracks...glad to see it on the tube.

[samarah202]

...USA IS ENEMY OF THE HUMANITY...

[LazyKingofZombies]

no, The US government is the enemy of humanity, not all of us in america are bigoted fools who just wish for more more more.

[miguemigue127]

@samarah202 too bad the knife is a bayonet which is part of the first gun

[Fuzzymcstank]

@samarah202 ....no, the LEADERS* of the USA are the enemy of humanity

[freshtilldeath78]

@samarah202 thats so true, with out the usa all other people of the world could live at peace, a revolutin is inevitable my freind

[VinzZissou78]

@freshtilldeath78 You're a fool, USA isn't the only place with greed and corruption.

[lebello]

@samarah202 its not just the US man...its Britain Canada etc...

[rangedkid]

@lebello It's every nation that was a super power.

[outcast565]

@samarah202 you are wrong its not the USA who are the enemy of humanity its the people who control it

[kRaW139]

@outcast565 You are wrong, it's not the people that control the USA who are the enemy of humanity.. it is humanity itself.

[murda125st]

great song power to the socialism coming up people must listen to this song great message if inmortal technique was a big rapper gov would try to kill him this message is sick but so true just dont listen understand the words

[oneatwobthreec4d]

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!! He went all out! Fire! If the US gov. didn't care about other countries, but didn't interfere with them all would be good. The problem arises when the the US invades and interferes with other countries in order to take advantage of their bad situation.

The Bible says that God hates those who attack widows and the fatherless, its evident that the gov. does this because most people in the ghetto don't have fathers. All will be accounted for to God one day....

[VampireLord66]

The "Man" are the Elite of this Country, and what "sellouts and house Negros" tells me is he is ridiculing those who are ashamed of their own Culture and pretend to be "White" or whatever they view as white.How is this Hatred and Bias? You have proved nothing only that you are Brainwashed.

[brothahaneef]

you do appear to be brainwashed,

he never once said white people were evil

[Channel0productions]

good point brothahaneef, he actually said he wasequal to them ,and he needs to bring it to the white house, the whites who looks as others as monkeys, mrmonster is a brainwashed fool, im 14 years old and i understand the world better than most adults.

[dethovagene]

@brothahaneef totally its not the white man on the street its the white man you don't see

[Fuzzymcstank]

@brothahaneef epic fail, he was questioning it not agreeing with it....learn to read you stupid motherfucker...wow super epic fail lol

[ad11495]

@brothahaneef That's what he was saying. IE " White people are evil, successful black people and Latinos (of color) are sell outs!?" The question mark indicates that the statment is false.

[VampireLord66]

you are delusional, the man says nothing about people who are successful being sellouts or white people being evil he even goes as far as to say he has more in common with Midle Class whites because they even know the system is corrupt.Funny thing is he already knew from right off the bat that some would misintrepret his lyrics and accuse him of being "hateful" and our own people holding us down? Explain that,because we are being held down by an Elite which is made up of all colors.

[VampireLord66]

How is the Song's Truth linked to Bias Hatred?

[WarofSamples]

So true... Excellent spoken-word track.

[VampireLord66]

Exterminate Capitalism, and you'll exterminate Poverty

[sickuntodeath2]

Democracy was supposed to protect the people from the rich and powerful but it was hi-jacked by the rich and powerful and now serves to protect the rich and powerful from the people - curse the politicians and their rich masters.

[hustlaus]

I love this. I've been peeping most of the videos that you've posted and you are a deep brother. Thank you for dropping wisdom on fools. We share the same mentality. Please check out Bill Cosby's comments on youtube and comment on it.

[rheapjoy]

post the link please..

[tbeezy1]

Immortal Technique is that dude..

i got my niggas hooked on his music spreadin his words n shit

[bygINCpresents]

this song got me just with the talking up front. didn't need to get into the rap.

[reghubert]

Good message bro

[Steadno]

[iyarah]

Fiya words! Big ups for posting this!

[deborahbetty58]

Everyday reality 'wrapped' in a rap, passing by in 6.15 min. Indeed: WOW!!!!!The start of awareness, is the change of heart, broadens the horizon, enhances other choices; changes from the inside out. Thanx

[v1ent]

REAL TALKS

[geneofisis]

Nice one BroHaneef-this guy is deep!

[RylzRiles]

yeah this dude been talking about this stuff for a while now, NON-CONFORMIST 4 EVER

[Anniebear561]

For those who wanna know the name of this song is called The Philosophy Of Poverty-Immortal Technique on his Revolutionary Vol. 1 album.

~Anne

[shonjonn3]

Diggin That!

[SCODgreenhood]

Classism *****

[kuonankrma]

WOW!!!!!

[brothahaneef]

this is explosive isnt it.

[blackberryjuice1]

we need to stop pitting classism against racism. Most "boujee" black people are just one paycheck away from homelessness. bell hooks often recounts the story of one of her black female friends who was living a six figure lifestyle but slowly descended into complete homelessness after she lost her job... there's a reason why the children of white baby boomers will inherit seven-ten trillion dollars while the children of black baby boomers will inherit DEBT!

[jopie110]

@kuonankrma Alllll in the same boat!!!! Rocking on the same road!....

got to get toghether!!! Oh can't you see...what you've done for me!!!

i'm happy inside alllll allllll of the time!! ....

thx Technique!
