Since stirring up the underground with his self-released debut, 2001’s Revolutionary Vol. Not satisfied with being labeled a “conscious MC,” for the past decade, this Peruvian-born New Yorker’s aim in life has reached beyond the confines of the rap game. These are the words of 30-year-old rapper Immortal Technique. There are people that will, and me, I consider those people revolutionary.” They’re conscious of it, but they’re not gonna do a fucking thing about it. I think everybody in this country knows the government’s corrupt. I like his previous shit, and I his new album.“Lots of people in America know that the system is fucked up. More over Tech still tackled real issues Parole, Mistakes, Open Your Eyes, Shit even Reverse Pimpology. His also recruiting SOLDIERS from the 3rd world! and homies in the hood that are here in a strange land because of THEM! Tech is bridging the gap between the white people that know about what's happening and feel him, and the oppressed people in the hood that are living the product product IT! That's why you don't get it.is ok! I don't think DJ Lantern had the skills to do that though.
He's waking up those fools that are asleep in the Industry, and having them join the Revolucion! It's a full blown attack on the oppressive industry. It's bigger than you think, Tech is reaching the 3rd world, not the "FANS" or you internet Critics.
"Am from were police brutality is not half as nice, It makes the hood in AMERIKKKA look like paradise" BLAAAA! It's a fucking Mixtape stupid, and you really don't get it.
I realized that i might have been a little harsh on the rating, now that I've passed the initial disappointment i can appreciate this release a little more, however, I still stand with what i wrote before. I am a huge Immortal Technique fan, his second album is the only 10/10 rating on here, it had everything, from the feeling to the message, but this release is not even close to it's level. So far this album sounds more of a commercial move by the rapper, what people should take in consideration is that this is nothing more than a mixtape, Technique has stated that he stopped working on his next album recently just to take care of this release, I'm expecting " The Middle Passage" to be closer to what we heard in his past albums, I sure hope it will.Īpparently some people got their feelings hurt by the words above, some idiots don't accept this being a mixtape, while others don't agree with my view.
This release can show off one good gem that can be compared to Immortal Technique's previous work, that is "Crimes Of The Heart", an amazing song which comes along a beautiful beat and Technique sounds more relaxed, a similar approach to the one displayed on his previous albums. Immortal Technique does come up with good lyrics, even thought I can't say that I enjoyed his overaggressive approach on some songs and the senseless casual verses, politics is still a very used subject in the lyrics but tracks like "Reverse Pimpology" are embarrassing to listen to. Green Lantern did a pretty disappointing job on the production which is simply awful on the track "The 3rd World", barely decent on the rest while surprisingly acceptable on "Death March", Chino XL did an even worse job on "Lick Shots", predictably, even Bronze Nazareth's beat sounds weak. This is a mixtape from praised underground mc Immortal Technique, a release that follows a 5 year long absence, hosted and mostly produced by DJ Green Lantern.
