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.
SWAGGER? WTF MAN! THIS IS IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE!! F SWAGGER! LISTEN YA"LL YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING! He ain't screaming BULLS&&T! THIS DUDE IS THE TRUTH! THIS SONG IS NO EXCEPTION!
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.
revolutionary warfare vol.2 was the last time ive heard a new immortal technique song. This is ok...His beats werent always my favorite but his lyrics were always ill. This still seems true.
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.
Immortal Technique is the truth. he is the realest rapper you will ever hear...he never ceases to amaze!!!!! Even if this song was horrible (which it isnt at all), id have to give it 5 just because its technique...if only everyone had as much passion as he did!!!!
Me and the homies were just listening to some old Immortal tracks and were saying we wanted to hear a new track and a album from him and here it is and it didn't disappoint.
i know IT is one of the most lyrical rappers in the game right now. But his flow on this song is just plain boring, enough said. the beat is good but its almost as boring as his flow
Tech is harder than 98% of rappers out there and its TRUE hip hop. revolutionary but gangster. F*ck coprate rap you kids and fools are feeling all this lil wayne kanye shit is making you stupid and weak.
Dis shit is realer than sub atomic particles gravitating together and forming helium, at which point dat shit explodes over again and lithium came,
ya I see some mayen with a big blingy necklace,
you're far away from the light we can sense it.
Technique, my RELIGION.
Haha@the haters that have no sense of relevance or history. Fuckin lames.
Tech ... flawless .. you already know. Thank you for using your talent in a way that means something. Not like these bitches and rims niggas that don't realize that gold chain is the new millennial noose. Dumb fucks
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: FUCK 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 fuck 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.
This song is a banger with a story.. ppl really need to stay close n hear what he's spittin.. the truth that governments don't want us to take into account, This music and this artist is what needs to keep flourshing and expand into the mainstream so it isn't just us listening.. but the world
From a republican party operative...your not going to understand half his references unless you spend all your time reading the history of US and European intervention into the 3rd world. Hence all you who don't like him need to read more because Technique is 10 times more on point then our government.
Lyrics are the same heat from IT. CLASSIC..He is a monster.. If the beat was little harder i would rank it a 5...
I know sometimes a song is not always about a beat..
