Immortal Technique - 'Interview Pt. 1(At UGHH.com - Boston, MA - 4/2/07)'

[helium3fuel]

Don't put NWA on a pedestal because they are hypocrites. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube are sell outs. They turned to money and greed more than the original message, which means Immortal Technique is full of shit on this matter. They guy has AMAZING views don't get me wrong, but he contradicts himself quite often if you really study him, which is what I would encourage all people to do when someone considers themselves a revolutionary.

[djkfhkajsffla]

bush knock down the towers

[MrElmatador99]

One person has a mortal technique.

[blackisrealites85]

[nobiggiee]

[Deioproductions]

"gangsterism" hahaha

[th2om4as0]

i bet that guy's arm is tired

[SoloEzxt]

And he went to prison for warrants. The warrants where for fucking up people...

[ElPrestono]

love immortal technique... but he went to a fucking private school and college just throwing that out there

[eprado91]

@ElPrestono Duh why u think his words are intellegent and hes so smart. You say it like its a bad thing. So what every rapper has to go to a ghetto public school or be a drop out. He went to jail also thats where he started reading and what he read opened his eyes

[ElPrestono]

@eprado91 relax, its just something i found interesting

[blackYUGMinds]

@ElPrestono soooo what that's a good thing why you putting that out like it's bad

[elmafia187]

I HATE PEOPLE THAT USE HE WORD "BRA" meaning "BRO" that shit is ANNOYING.

[scandall2012]

white kids don't understand the ghetto "because you never lived that life you bitch ass nigga" and then he says "when you grow up white and suburban cops are your buddies" so he just called suburban people bitches for speaking on a life they dont understand, and then he goes ahead and informs people of what its like to be white and suburban, "cops are your buddies", which is of course a life he has never lived, nor understands.

[Representt]

@scandall2012

What is there to understand homie? He isn't living in the Ghetto anymore, he has a nice house, he's living. He knows what it's like to at the very fucking least BE in the suburbs, just because he has never lived his whole life in the suburbs doesn't mean he doesn't understand it. I live in the suburbs and he's right, if you don't understand what the actual ghetto is like, then don't speak on it.

Find it real funny how your trying to make the suburbian life complicated.

[elmafia187]

@scandall2012 lol white suburban kids have it too good.

[MvNPTI]

Im white(hispanic by ancestry but im white as hell until summer comes) from Newark NJ, but now live in the burbs, and i can assure you cops fuck with anyone who looks under 25, unless you look like a complete Dungeons and Dragons nerd n shit.

[PEKERWOOD45]

im white and from a mexican hood and i was harassed by the police all the time,whites have a hard time dumbazz its not limited by race

[UNIQUE1982]

@PEKERWOOD45 Lost respect for him after seeing this, shows how a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, he still thinks it's about race.

[blackYUGMinds]

@UNIQUE1982 oviously you were'nt really listening to him then

[Joramboo]

DAMN, real interesting views he got there!!

I really love dis brotha man, he never betrays the truth

[WarmeOortjes]

It's not about buying into him.

He be speaking the truth straight up.

Either you get it or you don't.

[XmycamarogotuhatinX]

This niggas a fraud. Quit buyinginto this piece of shit.

[l3lip]

You don't have to buy into everything he says.

What makes him so special isn't his political rap. It's not the culture he comes from. It's not about his past experiences.

His rap is an epitome of the quintessence of hip-hop and rap.

So before you talk shit about IT, go get an education. Because if you were a poor suburban Latino, you would be in love with him.

[XmycamarogotuhatinX]

@l3lip Gayest thing I 've ever heard.

[l3lip]

Just 'cause you've been refuted doesn't mean you have to turn into a faggot retard.

[l3lip]

Go listen to your Lil' Wayne and 50 Cent trash you dumbass, uneducated fuck.

[l3lip]

Done with your shit, you're such a lowlife. Not worth anybody's time.

[XmycamarogotuhatinX]

@l3lip Hoe.

[oTECHNiiQUEo]

watch the video of immortal technique pistol wipping a cock roach in his house and tell me hes not really living this shit....your the one hating bitch

[XmycamarogotuhatinX]

Corny midget spic. Only stupid white kids like this wannabe revolutionary. Hoe.

[oTECHNiiQUEo]

go suck jay z's dick dumbass

[whoolikesshortshorts]

ROFL Tech shakes his hand when he says that hes the undisputed king

[GrimmjowProduction]

This dude have been readin n so on... and when i hear him talk its like a cleric or scholar im listenin to

[eprado91]

Hes being real on the part about cops on black and latinos. Im latino nd cops harrased me for no reason. Thas y i hate every cop

[ed12dawg12]

Immortal technique reads

[DaysWithBrendan]

god technique is fuckin amazing

[spookxv3]

IMMORTAL IS THE TRUTH

[piscesariescusp121]

i love listening to what technique has to say. he's really intelligent and REAL!

[awptions]

ROFL. I just said that to my brother when I was typing immortal technique into the search bar.

;D LOL. The exact same thing too ;D.

[420fmx]

really intelligent?

lol, you must mix with some real dumb motherfuckers.

[piscesariescusp121]

this dude is the truth. mad respect.

[JuSKallday]

Immortal Technique 4 prezident

[locfinest2009]

immortal the realest

[madarauchiha456]

teck real

[Krockarooni]

why does he always speak on racism and how much it has effected his life yet speaks as though no white person has ever been a victim of police brutality ? i respect his music and thoughts to the fullest but he seems almost hypocritical sometimes.

[MisterXrated]

there is actually an interview he does i think the videos called "Immortal technique disses jay z on stage" where he does say that under privalaged whites also have it as hard but for different reasons

hope you check it out bro

peace

[masterbartsimpson]

He speaks very educated

[eladbrit]

this guy is very very influential and also his lyrics pierce the mind i cannot deny that. however i often times don't agree with alot of stuff he says..ALOT. but i cannot deny the fact again, this guy is a dope ass muther f in emcee and thats all that matters really lol

[jimmybones1989]

I like this guys music but he seems to think that its only black/latino people who have hard lives,

[IvanValdezx19]

Well its true nevertheless with also Asia, middle easterners, and poor working whites

[jimmybones1989]

exactly, not just black/latino people, im from a working class family, so what, there are fuckin billions of us everyone knows it, so why bitch about how hard their lives are.

[IvanValdezx19]

Well, you have to look not only at your perspective but where Immortal Technique comes you know he's Afro-Latino 75% Latino and 25% African. He lived in a predominately Latino/ black neighborhood. A impoverished Harlem area with subsidized housing, a plethora of violence, and systematic corruption.

[robinlue2008]

how is he 75% latino. thats like saying im 75% american 25% black. being latino doesnt define your racial identity. just like the u.s. latinos come in different varieties of peoples i.e. indie, black, white, hell even asian now. last time i checked he said he was peruvian{mestizo descent} black. so that would make him half black and half indie, now wouldnt it?

[IvanValdezx19]

I just said Latino because thats how ignorant Americans classify Latin people. No LOL he clarified that to people on his website that he was Peruvian and African. LOL Its nothing to argue about what I'm saying is based on fact.

[zacci213]

At 3:09 "If it wasn't for rap they would be a bunch of n*ggas on the corner getting arrested, getting fucked with by the cops." best quote technique from the interview

[darrenjohnfrew]

Canibus would give IT a run for his money IT totally focuses on race constantly trust me theres white dudes in the ghetto going throught that shit too but hes an amazing artist and i ain't disrespecting

[heartless187]

Those are my to fave =]

[ufc777m]

in some of his songs he says how he has more in common with working class whites then with rich blacks and latinos..

Hes just speaking for his people..

[madarauchiha456]

he real people

[IvanValdezx19]

Don't worry I actually thought you were talking about Paris, France. Paris is a good rapper and have listended to some of his songs before actually. I know your trying to get some message across I didn't take it personally though.

But, have you heard of Black thought? or Black Ice? or Jedi Mind Tricks? But don't question my music choice or my guerilla conciousness if you met me you wouldn't be saying that.

[IvanValdezx19]

What does age have to do with anything??? You mean hot-headed? He's not cocky he's just stating whats essential. And who's Paris? You find any rapper tell them to go against Tech its all over unless there equipped with some kind of knowledge they won't stand a chance. He can flow in battles and embrass you and say something which is totally profound. But immigrant you wouldn't know that.

[jet0l19]

Immortal Technique for president: 2016!

He will be 35 then lol.

[PuRdYlAdY09]

he is soooo sexy!!! :]

[arjel21]

hes fat lmfao

[404cleanG]

Immortal technique iz da fuccn truth fucc lil wayne,solja boy,and dat fatt azz arabian dj khaled.he spitten dat real shit for the people

[jizzy2sexi]

lol @ "dat fat azz arabian"

[pipivagina12]

tech is 100% substance

[broseph127]

man, tech puts it down straight. if he were to start a revolution on my doorstep i'd be the first mothafucka to grab my torch and pitchfork

[southcakc23]

bruh, don't EVER, EVA, EVA, EVA, EVA!!! disrespect Immortal Technique by saying he'll be the next 2Pac!!!!! Pac was NO WHERE near Immortal Techniques level.

[broseph127]

i didn't. what the fuck are you shouting at me for lol

[southcakc23]

ahaha, I was trying to quote Jared216. That wasn't directed at you.

He said IT could be the next 2Pac. IT is light years ahead of anywhere 2pac wished he could ever reach.

[jarrad216]

immortal has the potential to be the next tupac imo.

[robinlue2008]

nah he's his own complete EMCEE. not to discredit tupac but he cared about record sales while tech wants his message out there.

[IvanValdezx19]

Immortal Techinique is way better than Tupac. Tech is notches of levels ahead of every rapper existing

[NyDerekJeter2]

Lil Wayne is Fake, immortal technique is real.

[tommymammamia]

Immortal Technique, Nas and Tupac are the greatest leaders.

Go support Nas and Immortal Technique!

[georgebrazil420]

don't try to throw nas in the same sentence as immortal technique, when have you seen/heard nas talk about some real shit. recently nas was on fox news trying to gain publicity for his album. and he was reading from a piece of paper. what kind of bull shit is that. nas is a fake ass punk that wants publicity for his album. he is truly weak. and when they interviewed him he didn't know what to say he kept babbling about dumb shit, studdering. dumb nigga. fuck NAS- tupac forever.

[seeboobiegrinnin]

you definitely haven't heard "Nigger"

[georgebrazil420]

you didn't answer my question?!?!? NAS is a damn puppet. have you ever heard nas say something meaningful that wasn't written on a piece of paper?nope!!!!!!!!!! your as trained as a fox news watcher.nas is as much of a public leader as the president.a damn puppet. NAS STOOD UP IN FRONT OF PEOPLE IN NEW YORK AND READ OFF A DAMN PIECE OF PAPER. AND WHEN THEY INTERVIEWED HIM HE COULDN'T"TALK WITH MEANING"MOTHER FUCKER WHAT DON'T YOU GET? NAS IS A STUDDERING PRICK!HE IS ON OBAMAS DICK MUCH LIKE PACS

[CallUmHowISeeUm]

I commend Tupac 4 touching the subject of poverty+racism in his music, but ultimately he was simply making $ for himself/his label. Was he involved in any orgs that empower colords? I never heard him mention any. As far as Nas, he isn't real. But, commend the brother for his efforts in holding Fox news accountable, even if it was poorly done. Nas is all talk; many can talk about social ills but as a public figure its his reponsibility to take action against them. I haven't seen Nas do that yet.

[georgebrazil420]

i guess your not a tupac fan, because you don't know where his money went do you? and you don't know about the political party he was starting along with latinos in los angeles and all the inner cities of the nation. if you look for it online its hard to find because VIACOM is real bias when it comes to political revolutions. (read:mc hammer tupac).

[CallUmHowISeeUm]

I couldn't find anything. What is the name of the group and what was it about?

[georgebrazil420]

go to the library at ucla

[mrzack888]

9/11 = INSIDE JOB

[DontSueMeImFunny]

Man, i AM the white boy suburb dude he was talking about, so to speak, and cops are NOT my friends. Tech would probably hate me if he met me, but goddamn it if he isnt the most influencial lyricist ive ever heard in my life.

Im so glad someone made me a mix tape of this guy.

[CallUmHowISeeUm]

WHY DO YOU THINK HE WOULD HATE YOU?

[STiLLMaTiC717]

if u liv in new york like me, u c a lot of police brutality and racism

[WOLVESVIDS]

exactly..dat needed to be said here dun dun..i was born n raised in Queens,NY..and that "blue eyed gringo" image EXISTS here...all throughout my childhood i witnessed it up and down junction boulevard..or wen they picked my young brother up by his neck,against the wall and started spittin racial slurs-THIS is why this widespread hatred exists,it is not feeble-minded,it is only feeble-minded to believe that all cops are the same way,yet it IS a survival tactic to believe that they ARE!

[Abdinazir]

fuck the po-les

[skylineTG1]

fuck the po-les

[oattie420]

yo his heart is in the right place, he's got holes and generalizations in his words but he speaks the truth about so much shit, everything is socio-economic and the corporate military machine etc.

[dadegoons]

diz is da realist nigga out der fuck da rest

[tinyboitbc]

Immortal Technique THE BEST!!

[frost310]

yupp, lord of the underground hands down.

immortal t.

[illeztemcee1]

Keep preachin' all your hate. But all i know is that Immortal technique is raw! End of story.

[brockf5]

[SCARBZ1REP]

[9do]

This should be the president of the united states :)

[sheptropremix]

drodude you're gonna buy his album twice even Immortal Technique said "Burn my music, if you don't you're a fucking pussy." Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce to you the pussy, who's getting rated down like a fucking clown. We'll keep doing that to not only the IT haters but the Che guevara and latino haters.

[whisper3words]

This is what a 'real' rapper and a 'real' man looks like.

[utukk]

stfu or ill put u in the mutha fucking dirt u peice of shit .... i t is the fuckin king .

[jesusthug]

i would say you cant get more underground than the movement that he is behind. so on a underground level as a whole id say the title is fitting.

[killatex]

immortal technique is the TRUTH !!!!

[UNKNOWNPOW]

Immortal Technique is an inspiring man!

[mms069]
