I met immortal Technique for 5 minutes in Belfast back in 2011 and I can tell you I asked him about Dancing with the devil song and he knew what I was asking and he told me no he wasn't there but it is something that happens every day and he wanted it to be in the public domain and the best way for him to do that was to put himself in the story.

@stuartenz6 жыл бұрын
Never forget the first time I heard this, such a powerful song. And dont look too far into the admission of guilt at the end, just a device to give the story some weight. "with 'Dance with the Devil' it was a true story that I made myself more of a part of when I wrote the song, it became an urban legend and what's sick is that people thought it was about rape and it was really about how we are killing ourselves and destroying the most valuable resource that the Latino/Black community has, our women."

There are those who are willing to do the most horrific acts for acceptance by some group or to attain some superficial value, that is what the song is about.

He has many other really good songs to date he has out 4 albums revolutionary vol. 1, 2, the 3rd world, and the martyr.

It's not hard to take a job, and want to reach the top; isn't that all of our goals? It's just, when you slip into the wrong career, things tend to get a little sticky...for someone at least.

As said below, it's not a true story he tells. He's spoken about it in interviews before, you can look it up. He wrote the song to describe the things that happen in gang life in the United States. I know Country Boy here is a real thug on his streets, but you know, different cities have different circumstances. In some cities, the rims you have on your car determine your cool. In Texas, you can have a gangsta saddle on your horse.
