Immortal Technique visits the Occupy Wall Street

9:30

that dude got some big ass hands

[colinrosier]

when corporate sponsorship of government officials becomes essential to gaining the support of the public in elections then the loyalty of the government shifts to represent the ideals and interests of the sponsoring corporations rather than those of the true constituents of government; THE PEOPLE...this is not a democracy nor is it a people's republic...due to the rise of capitalism and the corrupt "free market" and banking systems in the US and the world, government has become a corporatocracy

[bedford462]

IM speaks a lot of truth starting at 10:00 but whats incredibly ironic is the Tea party is saying the same thing; we should be less dependent on the government.

OWS and TP will never merge because of cultural gaps but its fascinating that two grassroots movements are saying the same thing and the governments solution will probably not please either.

[jr30347]

his records sells went up since the movement promoting himself with his shirt on lol smart move i might just do the same to get my name out there the occupy movement needs to BALANCE THERE FUCKING BUDGET B. america the land of the free get an education and rise to power and help out your people cant change the goverment it will always hold its place if you do not like the way things are in the us then why you still here??

VIVA LA REVOLUCION

[Mr00destruct0]

If money is worth nothing give yours up. You talk more shit.

When you look back on tonight your going to say, "What a dumb ass I was." You front with a gun on your chest, please phoney.

[illriginalized]

VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!!

[richtint]

The Federal Reserve is a total money-making machine.It can issue money or checks. And it never has a problem of making its checks good because it can obtain the $5 and $10 bills necessary to cover its check simply by asking the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving to print them.

As we all know, anyone who has a lot of money has a lot of power. Now imagine a group of people who have the power to create money. Imagine the power these people would have. This is what the Fed is.

[YoungBuddy]

This is pointless. Take a note from the REAL minorities/immigrants living in new york: adapt to survive. Get in where the fuck you fit in. All this time you're wasting day in and day out camping on the street like bums protesting to people who clearly don't give a fuck, you could've been out getting JOB. Yes it hard to find a GOOD job but many places out there do hire, a job is a job none the less. Money is Money. Not EVERYONE can be filthy reach like the so called "1%"

[imisrael92]

someone tell me where i but techs shirt plz

[MvGMuzik]

*deaf

[skralogy]

I got that shirt and im wearing it right now!!!!!

[13daes]

We were humans before the Constitution of the United States, capable of critical thought & rationalization that aren't bound by some piece of paper that they've probably incinerated the original copy anyway. I mean they don't abide by it, so prove to me something different.

[bedford462]

@13daes The very fact this movement exists is an example that the constitution works. IM talks about what its like in other countries...in Syria protestors are getting SHOT, so before we talk about how evil the government is lets acknowledge that America is incredibly unique.

I like IM, but what he's missing is that most people want stability and OWS threatens that. People are scared that a change to the system will be worse than it is now...and they're probably right.

[13daes]

@bedford462 People aren't being shot in America because of politics? Nonsense, Occupy Wall Street is like marching to your local McDonald's with picket signs, bullhorns, etc. and hoping the big wig's of that conglomerate actually listen to what you have to say about how horrible of an installation it is to your community, but at the end of the day you're still going to eat their food...The "food" in this case being Government bills...Am I wrong?

[xjustin523x]

only views i dont like of immortal techniques is 9/11 and he seems to be socialist.. other than that i admire tech alot.. as much as i would like him to change his views on that i can meet in the middle

[SODMGYGRN]

Immortal Technique gave us 6 Eggs that we must keep for the rest of our lives like Booker T Washington who was given 6 Eggs by a poor black women who nothing to give but eggs. He cherished those eggs and now we must too.

[Tdiddyballs55]

where is the main video of this the person who had the camera directly in front of him, please post it up this message needs to get out!

[jerwilllll]

sound quality is good enough to get the message through, and thats all that matters. immortal technique for president. fuck you.

[2tim149]

So smart.

[adamkadmon1977]

911 TRUTH NOW

[4oh8er]

From San Jose,CA, I am watching! The world is watching! Occupy San Jose! Lift Media blackout! End the Fed, Debt is Slavery!

[mancheromanchero]

WHO CARES IF IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE CAME BY. REALLY? I DON'T SEE HIM OCCUPYING LIKE THE REST. HE'S NO MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE NEXT GUY WHO CAME TO OCCUPY.

I SAY THIS - RID YOURSELF OF CELEBRITY WORSHIP.

PEACE!

[motioneccentrica]

@mancheromanchero Your everything he just spoke against, why are you getting caught up on minor differences, he is speaking of clarity, togetherness and his overall message is fucking brilliantly articulated, so what if he is famous? Does that make him unworthy?

Also dont say "PEACE" after leaving a message that is clearly confrontational, its oxy-MORONIC.

[mancheromanchero]

@motioneccentrica I'M NOT SAYING HE'S NOT WORTHY. YOU'RE DRILLING WORDS IN ME. I'M SAYING HE'S NO MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE REST. SO WE SHOULD NOT TREAT HIM MORE IMPORTANT. IT'S CLEAR TO ME THAT JUST B/C HE HAS SOME FORM OF STATUS, PEOPLE BLINDLY KEEP THEIR EARS OPEN - TAKE AWAY HIS STATUS, AND HE'S "JUST ANOTHER PROTESTER". AND DON'T TELL ME OTHERWISE THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR 'SOME' PEOPLE. I WISH IT WASN'T BUT IT IS.

DON'T SAY PEACE? LISTEN TO I.T SONGS THEN LISTEN TO HIS MSG IN THIS VID.

[Mitchelhc]

@mancheromanchero He's not "just another protester," I.T. is very wise. A lot, and probably the majority, of these protesters showed up because of their mentality... They hear that there's an "Occupy Wall St" protest going on and these people think to themselves, "Yeah, fuck these rich Wall St. assholes!" so they go down to check it out and show support. He's not more important as a human being, but he's more knowledgeable to what's going on, so he's absolutely more important as an educator.

[mancheromanchero]

@Mitchelhc MY GOD. YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD.

[Mitchelhc]

@mancheromanchero and why are you yelling?

[Mitchelhc]

@motioneccentrica amen

[harkyo]

@motioneccentrica you can be confrontational and peaceful. It's not mutually exclusive.

[velveteyes79]

@harkyo of course you can, you confront them in a peace manner!

[velveteyes79]

@mancheromanchero i for one worship none, however you need people who KNOW what they are talking about and who they are dealing with and tech does so it's good for him to go and speak to the people...who need to know and understand, his music is mostly about this stuff, he is a teacher.....to be honest he'd could of got a whole lot deeper

[oloera10708]

lol @ whoever was recording... he was trying to prove a point when he said no one knows him there.. and there you go saying "i know you!".. sounds like a little kid.. but he listens to the music so thats good.. hope you correctly comprehend his lyrics and not just listen to listen.. thumbs up!

[DigitalHemorrhoids]

1person likes havin his butt raped out by elites

[Oen713]

who da fuck dis liked this shit.... Satan?

[Tdiddyballs55]

yes please inform us we need the high quality version, his message is TOO IMPORTANT!

[goeleet]

All gather at Zuccotti Park, Lower Manhattan, around the corner from Wall Street. It's getting bigger. All day, all week, Occupy Wall Street. 

[derekhugh]

wh00pwh00p !

[8Recon8]

I listened to Immortal growing up , good times and bad. This was a big deal for me, mad respect I.T.

[hippiehighpriestess]

I cannot believe IT was there....amazing, what a legend!

[MvGMuzik]

can we get a better sound man to interview my dude next time? I can't hardly hear shit... I'm gettin sick of truthers gettin shunned

[dorjedolma]

@MvGMuzik I certainly did not intend on "shunning" him. I only had my telephone and I got it out there. However, if your nice I can help you find the high quality version once it is released. It exists but my friend has not released it yet...

[MvGMuzik]

@dorjedolma i wasn't try to say you were shunning him. But if we want these type of interviews competing with all the other trash thats on sites like hiphopdx.com and defsounds, etc. need 2 keep things tight and have quality sound. It makes me sick to say lame ass interviews about fab & ray j w/thousands of views/responses and immortal technique getting overlooked. No disrespect intended, and I'd love to see the hq version, I'll throw it on my website! :) I am an up and coming truther artist

[MvGMuzik]

@dorjedolma *see not say

[meltron30302000]

@dorjedolma please let me know once it has been released

[meltron30302000]

please let me know once it has been released

[joejoe652]

@dorjedolma Please send me the high quality version when it becomes available to you my friend. This is outstanding. Thx

[motioneccentrica]

@dorjedolma Help me find it too.

[ArmyOfThePharaohz]

@dorjedolma thanks for recording it fuck that guy ^^^

[radisciple]

@dorjedolma yes, being nice - such as not cussing - not because it bothers me personally so much - but it could potentially undermine our credibility for those that have such sensibilities - right?

[frankyrocksmyrocks]

@MvGMuzik "can we get a better sound man" - you should be giving thanks to the person that captured it for you, not bitching about the sound quality.

[MvGMuzik]

@frankyrocksmyrocks don't tell me what to do homeboy. The sound was poor, thats all i was aiming at. Obvious observation. Yeah MADD respect for recording it. But better sound gets the message heard to those who are still def to the message he said. I showed this video to my grandmother who knows nothing about the occupy movement nor immortal technique and she even said she was having trouble hearing what he had 2 say. I'm supporting occupy austin, don't undermine me

[frankyrocksmyrocks]

@MvGMuzik man.. it sucks that we can let shit like that strike people in a negative way, we're fighting the same fight, not trying to undermine you. i just want to point out that there are very few sound men out there recording this stuff and much of it is done on cell phones, outdoors, which is gonna have some shitty sound quality and if we can hear the message at all above the winds and background noise we should be thankful for that. thanks for being active and for spreading the message.

[Jioxer]

This guy is a legend!!

[SpikeyJamez]

Real recognize real. Theres plenty of MCs participating and acknowledging the movement. Sole was there, Lupe was there, you name it.

[thejoolien]

People have it backwords! Democracy broken down in latin means "mob rule." All this means to a tyrant is that in order to get what they want, all they have to do is distract the people with entertain them, oppress them with police, GIVE THEM DRUGS AND ARREST THEM and RIG ELECTIONS! A pure democracy is THE PROBLEM. RESTORE OUR REPUBLIC OF SOVEREIGN STATES AND WE WON"T HAVE FEDERAL GOVT PROBLEMS ANYMORE!

[diegoscp]

@thejoolien Ok Ron Paul...

[devilrpr]

@thejoolien i couldn't have said it better myself, i personally prefer monarchy but, whichever one wins man.

[strongnoob]

@thejoolien

Exactly, the only government guaranteed on this continent is a constitutional republic.

[mudbathsunshower]

fuck yeah, saw this live

[jamil316]

Sorry to say this but nothing will happen the day Americans have NOTHING to live for and i mean Nothing meaning once you dont Fear Death and Jail then you would see a Real Protest like Egypt and many othere's like it in the MiddleEast

[ThaKidFrankiee]

@jamil316 so true!

[dap0ss]

Wise words from a true legend.

[kamratframjandet]

I watched that live!
