Immortal Technique has never been one to mince words.  The 3rd World, the title track off his upcoming album, is a heavy-hitting, flag-waving, no nonsense probe into the ills of developing countries.  Set amongst a dark beat by DJ Green Lantern, the Harlem-based rapper comes across as his typical self: angry, provocative, and out for blood.  Born mid-civil war in a Peruvian military hospital, Immortal Technique is no stranger to the third world, a fact that we are constantly reminded of throughout this dynamic track.  If the rest of The 3rd World, his first full-length album in five years, packs as much heat as its lead single, fans and revolutionaries alike will eat it right up. 

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on June 9, 2008

OK! Someone needs therapy or a hug! All jokes aside, I like the anger in his voice.

I like the beat but not his flow...anyway, I understand he has to be angry, he is talking about something really serious! He must be a good lyricist (for what I can understand)!

DJ Something, I am going to reply to your inane comment. You don't even know what he is talking about in the song. I was born and raised in a 3rd World country--the poorest country/nation in the western hemisphere. I know about poverty, coup d'etat, homelessness, civil unrest, and violence. I grew up in that atmosphere. It's funny how people like you like to judge others without knowing anything. Who's ignorant? Maybe you are the one that needs therapy or a HUG!

Immortal Technique is blowing up the underground hip-hop scene. After a five year hiatus, the hype surrounding this dude is still bigger than some mainstream artists. Most of the users who commented aren't familiar with IT's style. He is ALWAYS FURIOUS and that what makes him such an effective MC. This is just a preview for what Rock The Bells has to offer!!!

This man is A BEAST. I had the chance to meet him on tour six years ago, he is the real deal live. As for this song, I only wish every rapper showed such passion in his word choice.

When I think Immortal Tec, I think angry mother. This song is no different. I think he needs to change his flow, its almost the same as all the songs off his last album.

muderous lines!!!! as always: "...im from where soviet weapons still decide elections..." yo, i hear people saying that his flow is simple, but thats only cuz they're not listening; they're just hearing the track, but not truly listening. so sharpen your thoughts and if you're ganna critic, then come up with something ferverous not just "simple". if you're ganna critic the man, show your self worthy of such critic!

so i just read all the negative comments and people keep on saying that IMM TECH needs to change his flow: @*#$! THAT! this man speaks on some real shit. listen to this track again and notice the comparison he makes of living in a 3rd world region and in the hood: "...where police brutality is not half as nice, it makes the hood in America seem as paradice..." when speaking of world injustice, how can anyone say that an angry flow does not fit????? "...if im wrong, then im dumb and lil kim 's a genius." -Masta ACE

shit was cool...his anger was what i enjoyed most...if u question the anger u probably need to find another genre of Hip Hop that suites your preference...anybody who knows Immortal knows the anger u speak of is what we refer to as passion!

on point as always, nice to hear the production as urgent and intense as the content of the lyrics, thats not to say that his previous output wasnt any good either, but there is always room for improovement. and of course the subject matter is going to polarize, you either love tech or hate him. some people are too uniformed to know what the @*#$! hes talking about, some people just dont want to hear this shit. the realities of whats going on in this world, beyond whats in front of us, isnt the easiest shit to digest, and of course the urgency of what hes saying doesnt really have any trouble blasting through all the bullshit anybody else is talking about. another hit for technique, i cant wait to hear the rest

I personally don't care for rap unless it has meaningful messages, poetry, or good inspiration. good beats with ignorant messages are simply stupidity. and American has enough ignorance and stupidity already.

Immortal T. at least raps about real and true issues that are important and at the for front.

I appreciate what he does.
