@@Sllummppy it’s a made up story so none of us could be there to experience it because it was made up, but everytime I hear it I get a pit in my stomach and usually thinks about it a lot rest of the day,if I show it to someone they feel like shit as well and think about it for like a week so ya basically traumatizing mufuckas out here
The saddest part of Bill psyche is that he didn’t care until it was his mother and even after that he doesn’t take into account how the victim feels it’s him who feels empty but doesn’t stop to think what his mother was thinking in that moment
When people face trauma their brain turns off. Anybody who receives that kind of shock would be barely functional, let alone able to reflect on the other person.
No other musician in the history of music makes you "feel" like Immortal Technique, whether it's anger, sadness, euphoria, Immortal Technique is a master of the craft, one of the best lyricist to ever grasp a microphone.
Technique is definitely one of the top. Personally though I don't think anyone nails the feeling of realistic depression/isolation as well as Sadistik does.
No one is ever ready when it comes to Immortal Technique Dance with the Devil, he's one who base his songs off the art of story telling,he was actually questioned by the feds due to similar occurrences that happened in neighborhoods, this story is true based off a guy from prison he met when he was incarcerated so when he said "listen when I tell you the story is true cause ei was with Billy jacobs" it refers to him being locked up with him and feels like after learning the story he became a part of it
@@LeahReuben you should react to You Never Know - Immortal Technique Also based on a personal life event it took him several years to finish it, love the channel you got yourself a new subscriber
Immortal Technique was born in Lima Peru. He is of mostly Amerindian descent, and also has Spanish, French and African ancestry. His family immigrated to Harlem, New York, in 1980 to escape the Peruvian Civil War. During his teenage years, he was arrested multiple times due in part to what he has said was "selfish and childish" behavior. He attended Hunter College High School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where his classmates included Chris Hayes and Lin-Manuel Miranda, whom he bullied, although the two later became friends. Shortly after enrolling in Pennsylvania State University, he was arrested and charged with assault-related offenses due to his involvement in an altercation between fellow students; the charges stemming from this incident led to him being incarcerated for a year. After being paroled, he took political science classes at Baruch College in New York City for two semesters at the behest of his father, who allowed Coronel to live with him on the condition that he went to school. Honing his rapping skills in jail, and unable to find decent wage-paying employment after his release, he began selling his music on the streets of New York and battling with other MCs. This, coupled with his victories in numerous freestyle rap competitions of the New York underground hip hop scene such as Rocksteady Anniversary and Braggin Rites, led to his reputation as a ferocious Battle MC, one of his most famous battle' was against deceased Rhymesayers MC, Eyedea in 2000. Immortal Technique visits prisons to speak to youth and working with immigrant rights activists, and raising money for children's hospitals overseas. He created a writing grant program for high-school students as well. In June 2008, Immortal Technique partnered with Omeid International, a non-profit human rights organization, and dubbed the work as "The Green Light Project". With the profits of the album The 3rd World, he traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan, to help Omeid build an orphanage without any corporate or external funding. The orphanage, having been successfully established, currently houses over 20 orphaned children from Kabul.
The song is based on true events that happened in his area. The difference is that he wasn’t there, didn’t rape anyone and wasn’t involved at all. He says that to add even more depth and emotion to the song
Rappers are respected for telling other peoples stories especially the ones that can’t for various reasons, understand exactly where he’s coming from and appreciate him for doing so 🇬🇧
What a great reaction!!! Your actual visual responses were so unfiltered and raw. Respect to you for sticking with it and listening all the way through to get the full impact.
@@LeahReuben It is supposed to, the song is meant for people especially young men who are going down the wrong path, it makes them stop and think. It is meant to scar us so we don't dance with the devil. A lot of people think the song should be banned or the artist shouldn't have made it so vivid, but then it wouldn't make you feel this way and it wouldn't have the same effect.
Immortal Technique is amazing. Enjoyed his songs for a long time. The only reason he never got huge is because he didn't sell himself to some record label. Incomparable alliteration and lyrics in so many of his songs. As someone else said, I strongly recommend "You Never Know" by Immortal Technique - very provocative. A beautiful song. A lot of great songs spanning a range of subjects.
he did an interview where he said he changed parts of the story (mainly for self protection) but pretty much everything what he said except his involvment is true.
This song really changed me. I went froma guy who was never scared of anything. To fucked up after this song. It really hits hard. especially when you know that every where you go there would be a person just like the MC of the song.
saw him live twice, such a real person and super polite person, got my shirt and hat signed by him. one of my fav Mc's and true hip hop legend. most that i love is that his about what he speaks, true activist for the people around the world. story he just told, he says it happens everyday in the streets.
This story and how it unfolds is so brutal but genius. It’s like a dark slow decent into evil and when you think it can’t get worse it punches you over and over at the end so that last confession feels real. It isn’t but that’s not the point, this type of evil exists and corrupts those willing to give in.
This song is haunting in every sense and definition of the word. Incredible lyrical schemes, extraordinary storytelling, impeccable timing. Every time you listen to it, you hope for a different outcome, and are surprised with what happens. Great reaction to what could very well be the greatest storytelling rap song of all time.
One of the most famous hits of the king of rock 'n' roll in an unrivaled gorgeous, phenomenal performance by Diana Ankudinova ( 18 y.o.) Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley / DARK VERSION cover) Please react to Diana Ankudinova ! Meet the singer with the most unique voice (dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones), reactors call her the goosebump queen. "Together with her tessitura, it identifies her potential voice type as dramatic contralto, the deepest, darkest, and most powerful contralto voice." (Wikipedia about Diana) Full vocal range - 4 octaves. The number of reactions to Diana exceeded the number of 12 thousand reactions. In my playlist section there are 3 playlists (5k+5k+2k reactions each).
Finally! 😂 Glad you understood it and sorry for traumatising you 🤣🤣🤣 best reaction i have heard to this yet tho! So you have done very well! 😂 onto the next one? To soon? But immortal technique - you never know - 👀 you can do this in 2years time when u have recovered from this trauma 😂
@@ultimatepeanutgamingl5506 Hell yeah man. I miss Immortal Techinque really. Its shame he is not doing music anymore (at least atm) he is amazing and has a ton of amazing songs.
I'll never forget my first time hearing this song. I was driving in my car alone, listening to spotify, but I was looking for new songs for my rap playlist, so I was going through the suggested songs at the bottom of my playlist. I was drawn into the story immediately, and was shocked at how haunting it was, but my jaw dropped and remained open from the moment it was revealed it was his mother til the end of the song, and probably for minutes after that. Amazing storytelling, but shockingly dark.
I subscribed just because you truly had a great reaction to this song and it’s a favorite of mine. Loved how you were able to read between the lines. Absolutely great!
The story is so well told everybody needs to hear it. BUT At the same time I feel like I'm waiting for a trap to spring.😮 The animated version is completely censored with big blocks of the story missing.
Okay, I paused to make this comment before you saw the ending, so I'm just imagining your reaction. 😂 But this song literally gave me chills first time I heard it when I was first released. The guy is a brilliant storyteller with a unique direct style
I listen to Immortal Technique quite a lot, and every time I hear this track I cry my arse off.. It is just a story and he wasn't there (I'm sure).. He randomly came into my shop once and he was a really nice guy (he was on tour in my country).
Just found this video and this one is defo hands down one of the best story telling songs in hiphop history. It changed my lifestyle at the start of highschool and thankfully opened my mind up to a lot of things. I would really really recommend watching You Never Know by Immortal Technique, as this song is also another story telling song but it isn’t violent or anything so I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Anyways I subbed :)
this song and the Scott Tenorman Must Die episode of South Park are two works of art that give me a really noticeable almost physical dark feeling every time
My favourite piece of info about this song, is that the piano chords that are sampled, are taken from a song called "Love Story", which I think the irony is intentional knowing how deep Immortal Technique is.
OMG. Can't tell u how happy I am u did this. Going to watch it now and already know it's going to be great.Also really pleased u did the actual version and not the animated video. Great call.
Violated that's a good way to put it ... I first heard this song back in like 2007 and I always appreciated the way he composed this great story teller
Oh man you looked happy before starting this reaction and the more and more you went deep into it I seen it fade away 😅🤧hope this didn’t get drilled into your head for a long time when you first reacted to it a year ago. Just subbed as well
He spoke about this one on an interview a few years ago. It was part of his "Stories from the hood", names and details are altered, but it is essentially about a guy from the hood they all knew about growing up.
Such a classics song,Immortal Technique is incredible! surprised you never heard it, was huge in my school when it came out!, I remember hearing this for the first time, know it word for word, what a great storyteller!! Great reaction Leah! X
The way I interpret his lyric about him being there during the crime, to me is super powerful painting it for us that these people brutalising others literally walk past us every day.
Great reaction. U almost started crying 😢. I've already knew the song so I enjoyed your reaction very much, couse u started quite funny 😄 but I knew where I'll going to bring you 😉. U also beautiful, take care 🙂 😘 ❤
I'm sure people answered this already but just in case... he's telling the story from the pov of his cellmate who actually did it and was serving life for it , and technique was only there for a minor offense.
@@ludovicbeck2731 it’s a song,When you watch a movie and they say or do something brutal you don’t ask questions if the actors actually crazy or would do these things
When she said this is deep in my head i was saying just wait till that part. But when he said its a true story and he did it too, immortal technique didn’t do it cause he is just the narrator but the story is 100% true cause he has taken people to the building to where it happened. I was traumatized when i first heard this song at the age of 11 but its grown on me since
The story is true and he heard about it while locked up from what I can remember. Immortal Technique is as real as they come. He spends his money building things for youths that are in trouble to help out as he was one of them. He even built a school on the Middle East in a very dangerous area of Afghanistan. My Peruvian brother is a good one and he has so many other great songs. His use of words and timing is very unique. I suggest reviewing Big Pun, “Beware” off of the great album called “Capital Punishment”. He just might be the greatest dead MC / Lyricist. Also, review Immortal’s view on the N word on that VLAD interview. It may open your mind to understand.
From what i’ve heard this is a true story about his cell mate. I also heard that stories like this were told in tough areas to scare kids out of this kind of lifestyle.
I watched an interview where he says While he wasn’t there the song is based on a true story like this Actually did happen and the police were looking for the people involved and the people involved started dying off. It’s some crazy shit
So from what I've gathered from interviews and whatnot is that when Immortal was in jail his cell mate told him this story and was one of the monsters who participated in this and was going to prison for life and he wrote this based on a true story. Thats why he has the line in the chorus "ask a n***** doing life if he had another chance... Then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance"
First of his songs I ever heard. The lyrics just get more and more painful until every word feels like a knife stabbing you in the gut. One of the most soul crushing pieces of poetry I have stumbled upon. It is just a story, but it still gets me every time, he really is "good with words" as Joan Baez would say. I think the worst about this song is the realization how many people choose to go this path every single day, hoping to come on top, but in reality ending up in prison or dead while destroying countless lives along the way to their own funeral.
As far as.we.know it is just a story...But I am sure it has real world influences. but he did time in prison for assault. Dude just use to get into fights but never anything like that. Definitely check out more of his music. Years ago "the martyr" album was free on viper records. You could download the album or have them mail you a CD. The money made off his previous album ...I think it was called "3rd world" ...was used to build a school/orphanage for boys and girls in Afghanistan. The left over money he used to produce the martyr album so his fans didn't have to pay. He had a cool documentary about building the school/orphanage on RUclips at one point. Might still be there. As for making music I haven't seen anything in a while. He spends most of his time as an "activist" . Glad you checked out the song. It is truly a hip hop masterpiece.
this is just a normal story to me i play this song in the shower when im cooking i love this song but seeing the fear and disgust in your eyes is the best thing i've seen today haha
Song gives me the shivers everytime I listen. Reminds me of a kid I knew in college(high school to Americans) who was arrested for setting up a kid to arrange a meetkng to sort out a petty drug debt and then stabbed him to death. I thought about stuff he used to say to me like if I want really money I should sell cocaine and talkin about how hed send his girl outside to do his sales for him. It's True the devil grows in the hearts of selfish and wicked. He was a conflicted kid now dancing with the devil on a cold cell block. Whenever I hear this song I see his face and think about him but cant remember his voice just certain lines he said to me which were the devil showing himself that I never clocked onto at that time. He was very street wise I was out of my element.
This guy is the best rapper out there. React to his song cause of death. Yes he still does lyrics . He denied a Record deal bc he didnt sell himself. This song is to make people reflect very complex song
It's hard to believe tech could have been there, he's like a preacher on stage, proper raw spirit. And that sort of corruption is forever. Or he is living proof god is real and all loving. Amazing art. He is like Rembrandt paintin death camps like he said! 1 love. Keep rokin th truth tech, your a legend in this art.
He has said that he wanted to show how the black community is eating itself alive. No better way to do it than being absolutely brutal and honest. He also added in an interview that saying he was there was just for dramatic effect, but he heard similar stories in prison.
@Banana_Doppio yeah of course things like that have happened but not that particular incident he was talking about.. I've seen Immortal Technique speak on the topic before.
Actually real true story from US - “ joyner lucas - ross capicchioni “ if you have not heard this its defo worth a watch also a proper video about the story if you enjoy it 👌🏾 less traumatising than this 😂
I felt traumatized by this song when i heard it 3 weeks ago and watching these reactions makes me feel less alone because i would feel irresponsible asking any of my friends to hear it.
It's based on a true story, Immortal Technique only claimed to be one of the rapists for that extra shock valve. But the story itself is true and he's from Harlem. In a Bootleg Kev Podcast, Immortal Technique told the host he can take him to the building where it happened. Really dark story.

She went from "this is deep"
To "this is really dark" pretty quick! Haha

Is it? 😂
@@LeahReuben yess!! I have a huge love for all accents, Your accent is so strong I love it.
8:55 It was in this moment she realized, she was not built for this. 💀
This is like watching Bambi run unknowingly into an industrial food processor.
Just followed because of the reaction. Finally a reaction I felt it was a real one.
Great reaction. U almost started crying 😢. I've already knew the song so I enjoyed your reaction very much, couse u started quite funny 😄 but I knew where I'll going to bring you 😉. U also beautiful, take care 🙂 😘 ❤
I think I’m still traumatised 😂😂
I'm sure people answered this already but just in case... he's telling the story from the pov of his cellmate who actually did it and was serving life for it , and technique was only there for a minor offense.
Ah I didn’t realise it was his cell mate- thanks for the infoooo 💛
That’s not what he says in the song though.
I’m pretty sure that he says that he was there and did it too…
@@ludovicbeck2731 no
@@ludovicbeck2731 for the song lol
@@ludovicbeck2731 it’s a song,When you watch a movie and they say or do something brutal you don’t ask questions if the actors actually crazy or would do these things
When she said this is deep in my head i was saying just wait till that part. But when he said its a true story and he did it too, immortal technique didn’t do it cause he is just the narrator but the story is 100% true cause he has taken people to the building to where it happened. I was traumatized when i first heard this song at the age of 11 but its grown on me since
The story is true and he heard about it while locked up from what I can remember. Immortal Technique is as real as they come. He spends his money building things for youths that are in trouble to help out as he was one of them. He even built a school on the Middle East in a very dangerous area of Afghanistan. My Peruvian brother is a good one and he has so many other great songs. His use of words and timing is very unique. I suggest reviewing Big Pun, “Beware” off of the great album called “Capital Punishment”. He just might be the greatest dead MC / Lyricist. Also, review Immortal’s view on the N word on that VLAD interview. It may open your mind to understand.
The way she says 'jameen' ... i'm in love
It's not just a story. This song is true and he did serve time for his crime after the song was released. It really happened.
this song for the first time is very heavy, great reaction too
2001 and this still hits hard
Yes a masterpiece of storytelling, very descriptive
The best reaction so far . Love you 😘
From what i’ve heard this is a true story about his cell mate. I also heard that stories like this were told in tough areas to scare kids out of this kind of lifestyle.
4:35 "This is so dark!" hold my hand when I tell you this...
having this song on the playlist is self-harm
I watched an interview where he says While he wasn’t there the song is based on a true story like this Actually did happen and the police were looking for the people involved and the people involved started dying off. It’s some crazy shit
So from what I've gathered from interviews and whatnot is that when Immortal was in jail his cell mate told him this story and was one of the monsters who participated in this and was going to prison for life and he wrote this based on a true story. Thats why he has the line in the chorus "ask a n***** doing life if he had another chance... Then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance"
You never know by immortal technique.. yo really have to listen to this one. It's not dark but it's just as extraordinary
Your the best real reaction to this ive ever seen
First of his songs I ever heard. The lyrics just get more and more painful until every word feels like a knife stabbing you in the gut. One of the most soul crushing pieces of poetry I have stumbled upon.
It is just a story, but it still gets me every time, he really is "good with words" as Joan Baez would say. I think the worst about this song is the realization how many people choose to go this path every single day, hoping to come on top, but in reality ending up in prison or dead while destroying countless lives along the way to their own funeral.
Story is true, but indeed he wasn’t there
This song is gold, but darker than ink flowing into a black hole
I think you should react some different Immortal Technique songs. One of my favorites is is song Natural Beauty
As far as.we.know it is just a story...But I am sure it has real world influences. but he did time in prison for assault. Dude just use to get into fights but never anything like that.
Definitely check out more of his music. Years ago "the martyr" album was free on viper records. You could download the album or have them mail you a CD. The money made off his previous album ...I think it was called "3rd world" ...was used to build a school/orphanage for boys and girls in Afghanistan. The left over money he used to produce the martyr album so his fans didn't have to pay. He had a cool documentary about building the school/orphanage on RUclips at one point. Might still be there.
As for making music I haven't seen anything in a while. He spends most of his time as an "activist" .
Glad you checked out the song. It is truly a hip hop masterpiece.
My new hobbie is watching people react to this lol
Definitely the reaction the was expecting … absolutely brilliant Leah.. FYI it’s just a song 🤣🤣
not really it has meaning.
It's an urban legend in the neighbourhood he grew up in. He just re told it his own way!
This song scarred me as a kid when heard it in my OLDER brother's car, couldn't believe the storytelling even at that age
Wowee, bet you never turned to crime.
Did you??
this is just a normal story to me i play this song in the shower when im cooking i love this song but seeing the fear and disgust in your eyes is the best thing i've seen today haha
I didn’t bloody expect it 😂😂😂
I love dance with the devil reaction videos.
Song gives me the shivers everytime I listen. Reminds me of a kid I knew in college(high school to Americans) who was arrested for setting up a kid to arrange a meetkng to sort out a petty drug debt and then stabbed him to death. I thought about stuff he used to say to me like if I want really money I should sell cocaine and talkin about how hed send his girl outside to do his sales for him. It's True the devil grows in the hearts of selfish and wicked. He was a conflicted kid now dancing with the devil on a cold cell block. Whenever I hear this song I see his face and think about him but cant remember his voice just certain lines he said to me which were the devil showing himself that I never clocked onto at that time. He was very street wise I was out of my element.
I know she didn’t expect that twist, Dance with the Devil is masterpiece of rep music! That’s actually a real story that happened in late 1990’s
Immortal technique is just beyond everything, i heard all his songs and interview! Simply ultimate. Not at all this era music , he is alien
The crazy thing is, this song could be a total confession, or not. We'll never know. That's how you dance with the devil.
This reaction is everything.
This guy is the best rapper out there. React to his song cause of death. Yes he still does lyrics . He denied a Record deal bc he didnt sell himself. This song is to make people reflect very complex song
It's hard to believe tech could have been there, he's like a preacher on stage, proper raw spirit. And that sort of corruption is forever. Or he is living proof god is real and all loving. Amazing art. He is like Rembrandt paintin death camps like he said! 1 love. Keep rokin th truth tech, your a legend in this art.
He wasn't there. He put that line in for dramatic effect
He has said that he wanted to show how the black community is eating itself alive. No better way to do it than being absolutely brutal and honest. He also added in an interview that saying he was there was just for dramatic effect, but he heard similar stories in prison.
I didn't know until this video that I need a bubbly essex girl reacting to dark shit in my life. Subscribed
Hahahaha thank yaaa 😂
Listen to Immortal Technique - You Never Know.
You'll like that one if you're into the storytelling sort of thing.
Pure lyrical art. Story is from his cell mate btw
One of hip hops craziest songs ever!!!! No it's not a true story...
Hahaha I figured 😂
@Banana_Doppio yeah of course things like that have happened but not that particular incident he was talking about.. I've seen Immortal Technique speak on the topic before.
It's true I was there too
@@woodyforest7308 ok lol
@@woodyforest7308 I know who you are, and I saw what you did......last summer.
Listen to "The Point Of No Return" by Immortal Technique. The truth about everything since the beginning of time till now and forever.
It's an urban legend from the area of new york he grew up in, he just re told it in his own way.
there are so many deep songs immortal tech. dude majored in political science hes a lot smarter then people think
Actually real true story from US - “ joyner lucas - ross capicchioni “ if you have not heard this its defo worth a watch also a proper video about the story if you enjoy it 👌🏾 less traumatising than this 😂
I felt traumatized by this song when i heard it 3 weeks ago and watching these reactions makes me feel less alone because i would feel irresponsible asking any of my friends to hear it.
It's based on a true story, Immortal Technique only claimed to be one of the rapists for that extra shock valve. But the story itself is true and he's from Harlem. In a Bootleg Kev Podcast, Immortal Technique told the host he can take him to the building where it happened. Really dark story.
