Immortal Technique: Revolutionary vol. II

[Lardlad95]

THIS SHIT IS BANGING. I just picked it up, a friend of my dad's burnt me a copy. This is album is hot. And usually concious rap, like truly concious, sounds like it was made in someone's garage. but seriously this album is on point. This boy puts Bush, Cheney, Rice, America, Corporate America, the industry on blast.

For those of you that don't know Immortal Technique was born in Peru during the Shining Path fiasco shit. MOved to harlem and made a name for himself as one of the best battle MC's around. He's opened for Blackthought, J5, Blackalicious, etc. Pick up this album.

And listen to the song "Peruvian Cocaine" 5 verses each done by a different MC going from the cocaine being grown in Bolivia to it being on the streets of NYC. Shit is clean.

Not to mention he heas Mumia Abdul Jamal on the album...shit is CLEAN.....!!!!!

[Hampton]

Yes, yes, and yes. Immortal is awesome and both of his albums are amazing. Brining the real shit back to hip hop, if you ever get the chance to see him live don't miss out on that ish, he's pretty crazy.

Check out this dude's Soundclick page for over a dozen Immortal freestyles

I got this album a month or so ago since Hampton recommended it so strongly. Yes I agree, it is a really great album. I will get Volume I soon if it is anywhere near as good as Volume II.

yah..he owns...I like Immortal Technique :D

[refuse_resist]

Immortal Technique is the shit. Hes better than all those other rappers who are rapping today like eminem and 50 cent. He raps about reality and now about fake shit. Hes keeping the rap and hip hop scene real and not selling out like all these other idiots out there.

[perception]

That's one of my favortie albums. His homophobic/mysogynistic streaks detract from his 'revolutionary' credo, though.

[j.guevara]

i listen to dead prez and immortal technique, what would you reccomend that's similar in content?

[Hampton]

Political?
Mr. Lif
The Coup
Paris
Talib Kweli

or underground in gernal?
Brother Ali- Shadows of the Sun
Akrobatik- The Lost Adats
The Strange Fruit Project- Soul Travelin
People Under the Stairs- OST
Organized Konfusion- Stress- The Extinction Agenda
MF Doom & Madlib - Madvillainy
Murs & 9th Wonder - 3.16 (The 9th Edition)
Sound Providers- An evening with the Sound Providers
Visionaries- Pangaea

[Dirty Commie]

I can't find the cd anywhere...any stores you know of that will carry it?

[Hampton]

You can go to http://www.viperrecords.com/, Immortal's label, to buy em or if a local independent music store might be able to get them for you if you can't buy em online.

[j.guevara]

its only 10.99 on circuitcity.com and its free shipping

[DaCuBaN]

would you recommend this as a starter for listening to 'conscious rap' ?

I do have a diversified taste in music (blues/jazz/soul/rock/funk), but as most of what you hear rap-wise is mainstream you can understand if I have a biased opinion just now <_<

Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Go for it chief.


would you recommend this as a starter for listening to &#39;conscious rap&#39; ?

This album would be a good start, most, if not all, of the tracks on Vol. 2 are politically charged.

You might also want to look into Mr. Lif- I Phantom and Emergency Rations [EP], Immortal&#39;s Revolutionary Vol. 1, Dead Prez- Lets Get Free if you don&#39;t have it already, if you could get your hand on the No More Prisons compilations, Mos Def and Talib Kweli- Black Star, Kewli&#39;s solo- Quality and Reflection Eternal and Mos&#39;- Black on Both Side.

It&#39;s a good start.

[DaCuBaN]

well I&#39;m in the UK, so circuitcity probably won&#39;t ship to me ;)

thanks for the hdsup, I&#39;m at work till 7am but I&#39;ll pop past the local independant on my way home - I&#39;ve had the pink floyd cd&#39;s in the car too long now anyway :lol: :D

[Hampton]

If ya can&#39;t get it anywhere locally, http://www.viperrecords.com/buyimtech.html ships it overseas.

[Heesh]

Heres a video and pics someone from his concert in the netherlands last week sent me :)
