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.
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
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 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
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.
"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
(copied from comments) Wankan Tanka(great spirit), Tunkasila(grandfather), Onsimalayo(take pity on us), Mitakuya Lena Onsikayelo(my relatives are pitiful)
+Devon O'neal Because you heard "taunka" doesnt make it any less. Hunting the bison in the day was quite a task. Hunting a being bigger and taller than you, and it wont give up to live. Of course it would be a war call going against a tank in nature terms.
I recognize, Tunkasila, which means, grandfather also referring to the Creator. There's also Unci Maka. Unci, means Grandmother. Maka, earth. Grandmother Earth.
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.
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.
The instrumental sample is from Victor Jara. A man who stood up in the middle of a stadium full of people, a make shift concentration camp during the coup in Chile 1973, and played this message.
@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.

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

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
Can we all agree “Doppler Effect bumping music out a helicopter” is one of the hardest descriptions of Hip Hop as sound ever penned?
"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.
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..
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
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 song is legendary....
This Man Is Legendary...
No.. the man is immortal
juan oliva cheers mate to that one lol

Immortal technique for almost 10 years now.... just heard this today. most unique song I've ever heard
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.
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
"Live for revolution, instead of always dying for it."

We're all in the same boat. We're all fighting the same fight. What's up from Southern CA ✊🏽!
If your still listening to this now your part of the revolution
way more people need to be listening.
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
Too real for spotify
Spotify is so shit now, thinking about TH-cam music
The first part dooe 👌🏾💪🏾

The most underrated rapper in my opinion ....easily in my Top 5 rappers i've ever listen to.....
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.

Is that still the case now?
Just a heads up, add lowkey to your ipod, your welcome
Peep Marlon Craft, dude got bars

immortal technique will always be number one in my book
he is a legend
I've listened to THIS EPIC EVERYDAY since its release in 2010✊
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
This song is beautiful. The lyrics the beat, I love everything about it.
they say you fight the greatest jihad in your heart and you mind- to much love for immortal technique
Love that he acknowledges the natives....keepem coming !!!!
This song is so uplifting .. The truth continues on
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
Always been my favorite rapper. 35 years old right here
Truth has never been heard in a better flow!
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.
theres just no words to describe this man
legen.... wait for it... dary.
Deric Coffey say louder for the people in the back
the stars are aligned Immortal, lets get it, keep praying for my blessings
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
dude is someone who giving light for those still in the dark.
This is genuinely one his best tracks, he is on fiiirrreeeeeeeee!!!!!
This was uploaded on my 19th birthday and I am still listening to it almost 10 years later.
The revolution always rolls on, it never started and it never ends.
To all my ancestors and all the tribes...from the Apache Tribe...Revolution be with you all...
I feel good chills running around my body as the natives chant, and inside I feel spiritually pumped.
Rise up young brotha !
I don't even listen to Techniqe anymore, but this song still gives me chills. It's Amazing.
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
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
This song speaks to the soul!
not a huge hip hop fan but Immortal is ice cold with his intelligence and delivery
I love this guy. He's words are touching
The intro is powerful. Respect.
IMAGINE THE SAVIOR BORN IN YOUR SOUL.
should be in the dictionary as the definition of fire.
I was 12 when revolutionary volume 2 dropped and I've had my eyes open ever since!
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
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.
Anyone putting thumbs down on this has no soul, or doesn't know real hip hop.
his songs are full of knowledge. its like history,anthropology,economics all in one place
thanks for dropping knowledge
Long live the resistance where ever it reside!

that intro is actually a native american war song.
Are you sure? Because I hear the word "Taunka" usually referring to a buffalo. Which were often hunted easily.
+Devon O'neal Because you heard "taunka" doesnt make it any less. Hunting the bison in the day was quite a task. Hunting a being bigger and taller than you, and it wont give up to live. Of course it would be a war call going against a tank in nature terms.

I love this intro and the song too of course.
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.
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.

One of the greatest songs.

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