Immortal Technique expounds his views

[@JStraight160lbs]

Tech, the realist brother out there.

[@matmasters3]

i can feel the brain cells i smoked away coming back when i listen to immortal technique

[@zachlevine3396]

im 17 and hes one of my idols for sure opened my eyes in various topics

[@morallyemptycorruptedmaggot]

Immortal technique is so well spoken.

[@njbranchprojectunity6418]

Lmao beat me to it

[@BoyBigSexy]

i had a freakin dictionary open through out this whole interview.....well said immortal technique

[@kelleyloveparker]

Been needing this.. mad respect, thank you very much.

[@khaosinfire]

Hey Tech, I personally am not a huge fan of hip hop but your music is awakening and definitely revolutionary, I truly appreciate all that you do!

[@linkincide]

I found with youtube there's usually a 10-1 like or dislike ratio, depending on if the video is really good , (or bad, like Friday by Rebecca Black) . 2418-39 ? that's a really fucking good ratio. Immortal technique is just that amazing

[@djamaluddin]

It sure is. Immortal Technique is the man.

[@KrazieSevin]

technique is a humanitarian first and an emcee second, he uses his music to enlighten and wake people up from their comas, he ain't telling you to sip your drank, or smack dat ass, this is a real cat, a true OG, too smart for these dumb ass rappers who need to sucks dicks to get on a record label to have any success

[@journalist103]

This is a dope interview. May Allah protect Tech and give him guidance always, amin.

[@Fiberyan]

For those that may be wondering or wanting to find out the name of the song at the start of the video, it´s: Joell Ortiz - Modern Day Slavery (ft. Immortal Technique), peace!

[@infectiousUG]

You know, every so often there emerges an artist who makes such an impact on your ideology that you can not imagine life without their contribution. Immortal Tech does this not only through his music, or even his ordinary speech, but the way he carries himself and interacts with others. His interviews are art in themselves. He is such an inspiration, words are inadequate.

[@DaGhostQc]

People like him gives me hope in humanity! I've discovered him years ago and it's by far the most educated hip-hop artist. Try this kind of interview with most mainstream artists and we would get fail worthy material for years.

[@HevyDevyD]

I don't even listen to or like rap, but after discovering him only just 20 minutes ago i've already got mad respect for this guy.

[@eyanvenom]

Appreciate the upload. Words of wisdom for our WORLD!

[@ScrewedMentality]

This is the only rapper I see that's active in the real world conflicts. Much Respect !

[@ClOwNMaDn3SS]

THIS man is a true human being deep with compassion. he is a prime example of how people should think and act.

[@porkchoppeaches]

Just when i lost hope in humanity, i find this guy. He must read alot.

[@perisilver]

Every time I hear him speak, I'm blown away. So cogent, so astute, so eloquent! ....So much more intelligent and honest than most music artists out there. And yes, I would vote for him if he ran for president any day.

[@LeeeroyJenkems]

I listened to Immortal Technique and loved him before I was able to truly understand his lyrics. I am very proud of who he has become and we need more people like him!

[@4lifebloods]

Holy Fuck he looks strong as hell and he looks like that he is about to fuck you up in this interview and his songs DAMN he know's what he is talking about. Don't fuck with him

[@Marizol272]

what makes him great is that he is real, and he always speaks his mind! Unique to see..

[@tylerthomas1302]

So well spoken. Honestly a lot of rappers/mc's are but they would rather try to fit in with the rest then standout like Tech !

[@asusla]

I fucking love when an artist you respect does an interview and actually impresses you.

[@RagingADHD]

'No one ever went broke under estimating the ignorance of the American people' well said, like everything else he said. I'm glad there exist at least one hiphop artist which are not corrupted by corporations and governments.

[@austinfink7700]

You can tell the difference between a rapper like lil' Wayne or A$AP Rocky or any other mainstream rap/hip-hop artists are on the spot because Lil' Wayne and Rappers of his Generation would respond to these intricate and delicate questions like HELL naaahhh nigga I got the ca$h flow and dats all i care about! but you can tell that immortal technique is different just by the way he talks he uses actual english, rather then the slang that other rappers may use. God damn this guy needs more support

[@thehappyhomeless]

so glad he keeps it real. and interesting. when i first heard this i was confused. but after listening to alot of his other songs i realize this is writte from somone elses perspective.

[@MrMiki300]

Immortal Technique and RA the Rugged Man are the best rappers that have ever lived!!! Just by listening to them speak shows that they're on a whole other level

[@MrMiki300]

Unoriginal Gangster i dunno about lowkey but i've been listening to steez since 2012. Still though, tech and ra still go in harder than steez. I dunno about lowkey tho

[@rafaellehtonen3563]

Pretty much every old school rapper is better than RA or Immortal technique

[@Foxxyownz]

+Rafael Lehtonen R.A. is one of the best speaking of flow and breath control, also a highly regarded lyricist. He's also more old school than "pretty much every old school rapper" Tech is one of the best when speaking of messages. What the fuck are you even on about?

[@jwheyer22]

Because real hip hop is like that.. Very intelligent, very well thought out.. Most people don't see it or even hear it.. Very sad.. Probably the most truthful music or "news" you might hear now adays.

[@marvencruse]

This guy is one of the most artistic and educated rap artist that I haveever heard of. He refuses to dumb down his music and allow others (music companies) to control his creativity. It's too bad that not many up an coming artist can learn from him.

[@Arealproducer]

His interviews are just as powerful as his music...very rare

[@carmenlidia1]

I have Been a ADMIRER Of Tech For a Long Minute ~ `He Is Very Real Y'all Know & See He Just Real Deep & On Point ~ Also Very well Spoken ~ He Could curse also But he Knows when to ! ! Peace Carmen

[@DanielChilton92]

I love Hip Hop artists that know what they are rapping about and that are actually smart and actually trying to make a difference.

[@joediaz6686]

This man for president. Pure intellect.

[@countryboystuffwithnate3000]

I'm a Christian and I listen to him I agree with his views I agree with his movement its basically like anarchy get mad if you want but I support anarchy

[@jermonshakir]

this man speaks very well and educated i have the up most respect for this man immortal peace be with u

[@ZetaMoolah]

42 people are corporate puppets.

[@Merritt_Maverick]

immortal tech is the most well spoken, dignified and realest gangsta i ever saw...

[@LaMalBoyd]

His Afghanistan answer was interesting... not what I expected. He almost got there with his expounding of the Sunni and Shiite split, but he could have gone into the nationality issue far more (the border zone down the middle of Pashtunistan). Nice that he didn't dismiss the US intervention outright, and recognized it is different... and props for going out there, I am sure religion plays a huge part in it as much as tribe...

[@MEGASAINTSFAN25]

I admire the way I.T. speaks, I have the same type of mentality that he does but mine isn't as progressed and expanded like his. Give me 5 years and I'll have one of the strongest minds you could possibly have.

[@evageliatsiboukli1347]

An indelligent, free human being, an intelligent individual

[@aGxpredator]

This just proves that most rappers are not stupid idiots. Immortal Technique is probably one of the most intelligent person i've seen. Respect to him

[@ogai111222333]

The name of the song is: Joell Ortiz ft. Immortal Tech - Modern day Slavery

[@1ConcreteJungle2Die4]

Yeah, I totaly agree with you bro. I`m studying to become a teacher but I`m not really interessted in the information in my schoolbooks. I`m learning more about life at home then i do from my study at school.

[@FamaclothingRawcloth]

whats the song name at the beginning? preciate it.

[@dafada1000]

What is the name of the song at the start?

[@juniorchavez5362]

amen to that brother

[@GunGemini]

i was taught Hate the sin, love the sinner. they cant help what they are.

[@kushxhaze1]

Not for nothing Immortal technique has a brilliant understanding of life and politics and talks with the up most respect for words. Amazing

[@BuffaloKelly711]

I'm in love with this man for 17 years lol...

[@Djaybird]

so much respect for Immortal Technique!! anyone know what song is at the intro?

[@ThemCoolTurts911]

this dudes actually educated, mad respect cause of that

[@FeathersHeather]

honestly i wasn't expecting him to sound so smart. i love him and what he stands for. plus he is an amazing rapper too

[@Djaybird]

many thanks bro!!

[@scotty4fingers]

If this guy could reach everyone in the world with his message it would be a better place, so much respect for tech, how long til he gets framed or murdered by the powers that be

[@EyezForward]

how many times did you think your itunes started to play immortal but it was the video :P

[@Jacobrroman]

what was the song at the very start in the backround?

[@Jjvic69]

Hes not a shallow artist he can.back up his lyrics word for word... So dope

[@TrusReal]

This is the type of people I would love to have as my fans. It's one thing to lead a bunch of followers, but it seems like he leads a bunch of leaders.

[@qwopask0]

this is so true i agree with alot of the stuff he said about Afghanistan because i am Afghan and i have family there.

[@MisguidedSeagul]

When was this filmed ? :)

[@alifarajh8362]

This guy is crazy underrated, dance with the devil left me shaking.

[@madu]

wow I heard some track from him before but since I watched this I feel hugh impressed by the mind of immortal technique! New rolemodel definitly!

[@Noddy631]

whats the name on the song at 9:04?

[@jforozco12]

Its sad that an intelligent man like this that commands such a powerful voice, and speaks such a clear truth is gonna be inevitably shut down. I foresee a genuine martyr in the future. In fact destiny calls for this. Such truth, that much heard cant last for long.

[@R.T.and.J]

Well he did say he's grown and evolved with him, and when you compare his Revolutionary Album Volume 1 with something like The Martyr, I think it really shows. Which song did he say that in, though?

[@Allan13Monique]

Whats The song In The Begining.?

[@resonate3987]

Immortal Technique is fully committed to the cause unlike many other HipHop artists who claim to be conscious.

[@Beingtherain]

The song in the intro is "Modern day slavery" featuring Joell Ortiz.

[@BushCheney]

Immortal Technique is truely "a man of the people" and that's the only real kind of Man.

[@jwheyer22]

I love how intelligent real Hip Hop is

[@bdusanek]

i just enjoy watching him talk while he's dressed like that... that's rare. and then i find out english is his 3rd language?! fuck... i love him.

[@htitk]

can anyone tell me if there away to talk to immortal technique

[@lakersrdbest]

@Eric Javier, my brother open your eyes and do research. Remember the tongue is sharper than the sword. Peace and take care brother.

[@hydr0skunk]

What's the song at the beginning?

[@dOdAdEish]

Name of first song?

[@AR1STONE]

Totally agree with his views on news. More sources = more points of views

[@TheCaddy84]

I have seen a lot more vids from Immortal Technique and do now see is Immortal Technique much more in depth. Ok, actualy way more. This was only the second one I had seen at this time. Just dope hu?

[@Randz88Goddex]

I think he explained what he wants from the human race very well, Now its time for other's to pass on his veiws of what we are not seeing. I will never be able to unhear, un see what i've been told, shown.

[@CovertOverwatch666]

What was the intro song

[@stopcicles]

Holy shit. He's on Al-Jazeera? Can you imagine CNN interviewing him?

[@chadthornton2333]

When?

[@Benzetha]

THAT WAS THE HARDEST INTRO EVER!!!! LOL nufffrespect Immortal Technique, a true revolutionary.

[@haydnwood9852]

What is the intro song ?

[@hurryupslowdown1845]

That hate will only hold you back and keep you down.. but do you playa..

[@TheSNIPEZzz]

whats the intro tune?

[@keetlap]

his first words speak of de-programming: "as long as they are willing to confront their own ideologies that are cemented in them as a child" my mind is open to IMPROVEMENT, so far I settle for togetherness because war is wrong when looking from the people's side. Revolution has to be peaceful to succeed. Together we can claim, or better, SHARE the world without governments aiming for war because of greed or hunger. Ask any muslim, buddhist or christian, they should know. You and I, we rule.

[@Okamoto691]

He's so amazing! Just everything he says just blows my mind...

[@kupaksulja]

Uh huh. I was not aware of such a search engine. Thanks very much for enlightening me. Ehm, I like to study different sources when I research and thats why I asked you for any material you may have access to. I actually already googled it yesterday and found an interesting article which explains why this assumption could be made about Rumi and his disciple. However, you may like to argue otherwise. Ofcourse you may believe what you want to, I just wanted to know for myself.

[@999across]

Although, I might not share all I.T. views on the world. I found his response to the first question regarding homosexuality quite appropriate. W/ the internet we find it quite easy to express & place blame for our short coming & become so entrenched in our beliefs that we forget to address our problems & accept responsibility. “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” ― Albert Einstein

[@love4gunz]

thanx,much appreciated

[@matthewtn]

He is worldly inspirational

[@kanelic]

Thank-you...

[@NeuDesignsYT]

woops you are right, he is Afro-Peruvian! and about that word i completely agree with you its just wrong to use it, the only reason i did and put the " " on it was to give emphasis on the usage of it on the comment i posted a response to.

[@ThyHoneyNut]

I just respect the fact that he's turned down major label records..I mean, he pretty much turned down millions of dollars...not just pretty much, he DID turn down it. It's like the guy on American Gangster turning in the 1 million dollars he found. Holy shit.

[@OoxASSASSINxoO]

then where was he born? If you cant answer that then how do you really know he wasn't born there? -.^

[@deeagnol]

We only have ourselves to blame for how fucked up the world we live in really is, we can make change, but there isnt enough of us who realise that its really possible

[@furkannn2000]

Do you know what mc means/?

[@kylewilson3770]

If y'all think Immortal Technique is revolutionary, you should check out K Rino.

[@ethownzbh]

who else played tech in the background while watching this vid?
