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.
Just coming back here to say this is Tech’s magnum opus. Everything from the rhymes, flow, topics covered. It encapsulates everything he’s about. Goosebumps
"They say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and your mind.. And fight the hardest when you start from behind.. So I dreamed the impossible all the time"
Immortal technique is one of the very few rappers that said some shit that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Shout out to Tupac and Nas also!
i don't listen to rap music but, this guy is an exception, hes got too much creativity and honesty in his work and words, i'm glad i heard this guys music
I always been a Tupac & Nas fan for the intellectual music they made but immortal technique makes their music look like pop songs. Hes on my number 1 on my list because how intelligent this dude is, he blows my mind every time I hear hes songs even though sometimes the beat is way off.
The first time i heard "Dance with the Devil" i feel in love with Immortal Technique's music. I went to see him when he performed in Melbourne. He truly is gifted, he talks about evolution, revolution, and how fucked up the world is.
My favorite song, this song has so much info. That I wasn't aware of... the part that I like most when tech says Quetzalcoalt flying over la raza. It brings back memories when I was a kid back in Guatemala studying mayan culture and there's a meaning of what tech said...Immortal T. He sure is a intellectual
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
And live for revolution instead of always dying for it! Remember a bullet can never stop me, my legions are led by the spirit Haile Selassie, watch me, even if I'm shot in the chakra I will prosper, doppler effect bumping music out a helicopter. Thats an MC, thats Hip Hop.
That intro gets my blood going..this guy is dropping some knowledge and it's fire...wish they would play music like on the radio,then Maybe I could go back to listening to it.
So Much Knowledge Game this brother Dropping ,Slapping this Brother music since his First Cd, im an M.C and still Learning Shit and spitten shit. But when you come on the mic like this its a Whole Different BallGame,One Love From The WestCoast Live for Revoultion insteadof always dyin for it
"They say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and your mind and fight the hardest when you start up from behind;so i dream the impossible all the time Fuck a masonic design america's future is mine; repeat that to yourself cuz if culture's a crime, them numbers tatted on your arm aren't too far behind" Hot dam technique, love those lines. The flow is addictive with this beat
You serve in My Kingdom better than I could have imagined and I appreciate everything you are all doing while walking with me to the perfection that is based in pure unconditional love of ME and of all others.
So happy this album is out, been waiting for some new music for him for some time now. So many rappers keep adapting to the new style with synthesized beats and vocals. Immortal keeps it real with the same kinda style and speaks real shit. Go buy his old albums instead of just pirating them, he's an artist that's actually worth supporting.
@MatrixOfDynamism - He said "like the kids chasing their kites" Referencing Afghan children's direct life impacts of kite games and other forms of fun, to gurilla war and improvised willings of freedom through controversial occupation of foriegn grounds, dictations (like their laws, {and believes}).

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
being native like me. and growing up going to pow wows. this realy brought flashbacks to me. native people are seriuosly the chillest people ive ever meet. chiller than stoners. lmfao

"Live for the revolution instead of always dying for it" - Immortal Technique, the best fucking rapper of all time. Period.
gives me goosebumps
is he a mexican rapper? i didnt said ist bad bee mexican xd in fact im chilean xd
+megapanda360 he's from Peru I believe
Dominican Republic and also lives in HARLEM NY .
Peru
This song is lowkey lyrically one of his best songs. Gives me chills everytime
you excited for his new album or what?
About damn time lol
Legitpenguins69 yes! Agreed
JonniesMusica is it out ??
Is your picture gun jesus ? Lol
This song was ahead of its time...
Can we all agree “Doppler Effect bumping music out a helicopter” is one of the hardest descriptions of Hip Hop as sound ever penned?
Just coming back here to say this is Tech’s magnum opus. Everything from the rhymes, flow, topics covered. It encapsulates everything he’s about. Goosebumps
Felt that way since I've first heard it and agreed
Yea but the little commie is running now that the war is on. F that P. You are the Magnum Opus my nig.
Poverty of Philosophy
lyrically, this is one of the best songs of all time.
in my opinion.
This gives me chills everytime i listen...the message is just too powerful to not move you. It's truly a magical track..
"They say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and your mind..
And fight the hardest when you start from behind..
So I dreamed the impossible all the time"
Love comrade.
That hit me too I love that
Wow, did you write that yourself?
Damn
Yes... this is true. You do fight the hardest when you start from behind, it gets you pumped up because it's a fact.
This has to be Tech's Magnum Opus. Native american chanting,Amazing lyrics,and Dr. Cornel West in the Outro.. best song ever imo
And the beat is from La Partida whose author is Victor Jara!
this might be my fave immortal technique song
Fuckin' A.
❤ YOU™
This is my favorite rap song period. I can't even call it rap..it's more like a prayer.
@@TheVVumpus I love that, a Prayer...fuck yeah.
La vos blankita
Immortal technique is one of the very few rappers that said some shit that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Shout out to Tupac and Nas also!
Sean Fitzpatrick listen to K-Rino. He is in a league of his own compared to Tech, 2pac, etc..
You just named my top 3
i don't listen to rap music but, this guy is an exception, hes got too much creativity and honesty in his work and words, i'm glad i heard this guys music

Immortal technique for almost 10 years now.... just heard this today. most unique song I've ever heard
This song is legendary....
This Man Is Legendary...
No.. the man is immortal
juan oliva cheers mate to that one lol
S.E. You are legendary, you are immortal. No get the f*** *ut of my living room
especially couse it follows ultma
Tech's music always leaves me thinking about everything in life. It trips me out how the world really works vs what we are told.
"Live for revolution, instead of always dying for it."
I always been a Tupac & Nas fan for the intellectual music they made but immortal technique makes their music look like pop songs. Hes on my number 1 on my list because how intelligent this dude is, he blows my mind every time I hear hes songs even though sometimes the beat is way off.
Yo how is everybody?
Tupac better
La partida by Victor jara is the sample used for this piece of art
Imagine the savior born in a Mexican hooptie; Persecuted single mother in a modern manger. You'd crucify him again, like a fuckin' stranger.
gives me chills every time I hear it
The first time i heard "Dance with the Devil" i feel in love with Immortal Technique's music. I went to see him when he performed in Melbourne.
He truly is gifted, he talks about evolution, revolution, and how fucked up the world is.
"Ready to go to war with devils at the drop of a dime & fight with my rebel army until the stars are aligned"
I'm an Arab and love this guy true soldier
Me too. A female arab and been listening for over 15 yrs now and never get tired of it
👊🏽😎
We're all in the same boat. We're all fighting the same fight. What's up from Southern CA ✊🏽!
The most underrated rapper in my opinion ....easily in my Top 5 rappers i've ever listen to.....
Too real for spotify
Spotify is so shit now, thinking about RUclips music
If your still listening to this now your part of the revolution
way more people need to be listening.
My favorite song, this song has so much info. That I wasn't aware of... the part that I like most when tech says Quetzalcoalt flying over la raza. It brings back memories when I was a kid back in Guatemala studying mayan culture and there's a meaning of what tech said...Immortal T. He sure is a intellectual
immortal technique will always be number one in my book
he is a legend
The first part dooe 👌🏾💪🏾

This song gave me goose bumps my senior year
+FonfonJoe u took out the words out my mind
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 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
Is that still the case now?
Just a heads up, add lowkey to your ipod, your welcome
Peep Marlon Craft, dude got bars

Would you mind giving us the lyrics please?
This song gives me chills everytime! Signs of the LAST Days!
Especially in the beginning how the beat comes in with first couple of bars
they say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and you mind- to much love for immortal technique
This song is so uplifting .. The truth continues on
More relevant in 2024 than ever before! Learn your history or be prepared to repeat it.
This song is beautiful. The lyrics the beat, I love everything about it.
I'm native and the first part surprised me cuz ive never heard anyone use our songs
Land Back🖤
Hokahey :)

legen.... wait for it... dary.
Deric Coffey say louder for the people in the back
I've listened to THIS EPIC EVERYDAY since its release in 2010✊
Truth has never been heard in a better flow!
Love that he acknowledges the natives....keepem coming !!!!
And live for revolution instead of always dying for it! Remember a bullet can never stop me, my legions are led by the spirit Haile Selassie, watch me, even if I'm shot in the chakra I will prosper, doppler effect bumping music out a helicopter.
Thats an MC, thats Hip Hop.
To all my ancestors and all the tribes...from the Apache Tribe...Revolution be with you all...
the stars are aligned Immortal, lets get it, keep praying for my blessings
dude is someone who giving light for those still in the dark.
This song speaks to the soul!
That intro gets my blood going..this guy is dropping some knowledge and it's fire...wish they would play music like on the radio,then Maybe I could go back to listening to it.
He was ahead of the curve.. now i see what he meaning of he's song's
Na fam tech isn’t the only one who knows just that a lot of people are asleep and those who are just waking up are learning things others been knowing
Rise up young brotha !
The revolution always rolls on, it never started and it never ends.
Wow, ive sung this prayer many times in inipi, but your words hold the same energy brother. Pity us, so we may survive and prosper
Immortal Technique took breathing classes before he made this album
Really?
@@theflanman1986 Yes, he shares it in one of his interviews, but I forget which one.
@@rudegirl5239 immortal technique x montreality 40 mins I think that’s the one
I feel good chills running around my body as the natives chant, and inside I feel spiritually pumped.
So Much Knowledge Game this brother Dropping ,Slapping this Brother music since his First Cd, im an M.C and still Learning Shit and spitten shit. But when you come on the mic like this its a Whole Different BallGame,One Love From The WestCoast
Live for Revoultion insteadof always dyin for it
I love this guy. He's words are touching
not a huge hip hop fan but Immortal is ice cold with his intelligence and delivery
This was uploaded on my 19th birthday and I am still listening to it almost 10 years later.
When i was listening to the album for the first time i thought it was an instrumental but later i heard it again and it amazed me
"They say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and your mind and fight the hardest when you start up from behind;so i dream the impossible all the time
Fuck a masonic design america's future is mine; repeat that to yourself cuz if culture's a crime, them numbers tatted on your arm aren't too far behind"
Hot dam technique, love those lines. The flow is addictive with this beat
Amazing sample of the chilean band Inti Illimani. La Partida
thank you
Caustic Music Group is VICTOR JARA
victor jara composed the song. but that version is from inti illimani.
it's a bit more nuanced then that. This IS the victor jara version, but inti illimani is his backup band on it.
This is genuinely one his best tracks, he is on fiiirrreeeeeeeee!!!!!
I don't even listen to Techniqe anymore, but this song still gives me chills. It's Amazing.
You serve in My Kingdom better than I could have imagined and I appreciate everything you are all doing while walking with me to the perfection that is based in pure unconditional love of ME and of all others.
should be in the dictionary as the definition of fire.
Always been my favorite rapper. 35 years old right here
IMAGINE THE SAVIOR BORN IN YOUR SOUL.
I was 12 when revolutionary volume 2 dropped and I've had my eyes open ever since!
The intro is powerful. Respect.
his songs are full of knowledge. its like history,anthropology,economics all in one place
"My legions are led by the spirit of Hailie Selassie"
Technique is a Rasta man out to slay the dragons of babylon.
Long live the resistance where ever it reside!
So happy this album is out, been waiting for some new music for him for some time now. So many rappers keep adapting to the new style with synthesized beats and vocals. Immortal keeps it real with the same kinda style and speaks real shit. Go buy his old albums instead of just pirating them, he's an artist that's actually worth supporting.

One of the greatest songs.

Anyone putting thumbs down on this has no soul, or doesn't know real hip hop.
Immortal Technique for life! You got me man. The one and only person in the world that i appreciate everything he says.
Ouch, right in the feels.
Same.
