    Still one of my favorites in 2024. It’s not just about being a fan or appreciating the artist’s skill level.
    This one hits the soul and drops some straight life knowledge.
    Listen and think about where we are as a society today. The revolution is here, but not exactly how we’d thought it would go down. The people the say are your enemy is actually your friend. The snakes in the grass.. DMX layed that out too.

      Reminds me of some wise person saying:
      "Love your worst enemy as you love your dearest friends."
      Just living up to that is quite hard, but when you ask:
      "What would Love do now?"
      , you can gain a good sense of the real reality.

    That's funny, first song I heard was Dance with the Devil and I thought he was a story teller.
    Then I realized he was a realist/revolutionist.
    Then I listened to revolution vol 1 & 2, then the martyr.
    Then I found out about the 3rd World and Portable Immortal.
    Then I heard about The Middle Passage, which I can't wait for...
    Now there's 150 songs of his on my Ipod, and he is the other musician worthy of being on my Ipod. Lol

    I will still be buying the album as do all of his, but thanks for putting this out there. Not everyone can afford to buy it, but everyone needs to hear it and have access to it. If I were a professor of history or anything to do with literature, Immortal Technique's lyrics would be on mandatory reading/listening way. As well as any course on current events.

    1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
    2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
    3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. -Holy Bible

    It’s awesome that the sign he sampled is Inti Illimani and the genre comes from the Andean Native American Cultures
