Immortal Technique - Toast To The Dead
Artist: Immortal Technique
Producer: J. Dilla
Album: The Martyr
Label: Viper Records
Immortal Technique is so revolutionary he makes dead prez look like Ray-J, Talib Kweli look like Flo-Rida and Lupe Fiasco look like Shawty Lo. Ok, so that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point; Immortal takes his music very seriously, so seriously in fact that he’s earned the right to dip into J. Dilla’s vault and pull out a beat from the legendary producer for his new aptly-titled release Toast to the Dead. In trademark fashion JD’s beat is deceptively complex; at first it sounds minimalistic but closer listens reveal subtle layer after layer of sound. With additional turntable work provided by DJ Green Lantern setting the stage, Technique steps to the mic with more of his typically emotional rhymes, raising a metaphorical glass to everyone that’s passed, from DJ Roc Raida to slaves murdered centuries ago: “F**k a moment of silence I need a moment of violence / like the 19th century Caribbean islands.” Toast is the first release from Immortal’s upcoming and currently unscheduled The Martyr project, which will kick off a year-long tour. Consider yourself warned.

 Well, damn. Not that I needed confirmation or any assurances, but Immortal Technique is indeed a beast on the mic. While I don't always agree with his political agenda, I do have a soft spot for his musical brilliance and passion.

Wow, you guys never feature Immortal Technique.
And he's rhyming over a Jay Dee beat, I didn't even have to listen to this to know it's a CLASSIC. But I did and yeah this is a CLASSIC! |

I just saw Immortal Technique down on the news at the wall street protest. I always thought his flow was good and he's always saying something that makes sense. The beat on here is cool, but his lyrics really came through.
