Do you guys really not understand the reason WHY he gets clowned so much?

Have you ever thought that his overly aggressive style and the fact that he sounds like he learned everything he talks about off of wikipedia and godlikeproductions is the reason why?

He spews nothing but conspiracies half of the time. I like dude, but it's very, very easy to see why people wouldn't like him. The only way you couldn't see it is if you didn't want to, to be quite honest.

Dude is a beast, seen him and Diabolic live at the Jedi Mind Tricks concert in Philly, he tore it down...spit that Frontlines verse...chopped it up wit him after the show at the bar... He's a real down to earth dude fa real and really cares about what hes doing, you can see it...

He may not have the best flow, but he goes hard and he may teach you something in the long run, conspiracy or not

I don't think that. He sounds like he's an educated guy to me. The guy's been rapping for over 10 years and he's always had similar subject matter so it seems to me he knows what he is talking about.

Some of his opinions might be considered conspiracy theories but I don't think they are any more crazy than let's say, someone like Professor Griff. Griff says way more outrageous shyt and people co sign it.

Immortal seems to know about the politics, government policies and issues that he raps about. They don't sound far fetched at all to me(for the most part anyway).

But I get what u are saying. That is the way he comes across to a lot of people and that's why they don't like him.

I used to think that, but again, his Russia Today interview impressed me.



I don't agree with all of it but it's clear he thoroughly researches the shyt that he talks about. plus just like a lot of rappers exaggerate their life in the streets, I think Tech sensationalizes a lot of his political content in his songs. based on his interviews I don't think he's as big of an extremist outside of the music. a lot of the stuff he says in his music is more about making people aware of certain issues than him spitting what he feels is 100% fact

he had a song about killing white cops, featuring a white rapper :dry:
You mobile facsimile of living fecal matter,
You're a walking piece of shyt, you deserve to be splattered,
:why:

he tries to fit too many syllables in his bars like Talib Kweli but can't, Kweli has better breath control. IT is probably the lamest "lyricist" ever, & I actually enjoyed some songs off his first 2 albums. I'm sure he lost a lot of fans taking so long to drop Revolutionary III. last I heard him he sounded like he was battling lung cancer over Rick Ross' Hustlin instrumental :laff:

his superfans might be cornier than Eminem's, this is one of the top rated YT comments on his video

Crank this shyt and ride through preppy neighborhoods.
That shyt is funny.
what a rebel

He is good. On his newer shyt I dont appreciate that forced delivery but he can make good songs. He should be compared to wigger Ra ra raps like Jedi Mind Tricks though. I hate that shyt.

you can't really comment if the last track you heard from him was the hustlin remix... hes done at least 3 projects since including getting his top artist Diabolics albums out, and building orphanages in Afghanistan. check out the 3rd World he did with Green Lantern or the Martyr..

Only song I ever liked by him was "Obnoxious". That, and "Bin Laden"

Many reasons I never liked him. I never found his style enjoyable. I'm all for intelligent subject matter and stuff that's different.. but every song he's on is a rant about how much the government sucks.. One or two songs, cool.. but every song, it gets annoying. It's even more annoying when my fellow white friends who don't usually listen to rap have him as their go to guy to what "real hip-hop" is, just because he has social commentary in his raps.

I really liked the 3rd world album. Most of it was heat. Except for one track with Chino XL called Lick Shots. Sh!t hurt my ears when I listen to it :laugh:

The rest of the album was solid. The track "The 3rd World" itself is real dope IMO. One of his best.

Also Golpe De Estado was great but it was all in Spanish so a lot of u wouldn't understand it. Its worth listening just for the beat tho. They flipped a song from The Godfather 2 and they flipped the sample nicely, great beat.
