Immortal Technique - The Third World

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

Anyone else got their hands on a copy of this? I'm listening to it right now, havn't got the whole way through but it sounds awesome so far... Payback is a fucking great track...

I preordered it on amazon early June and they've just kept postponing the date they're dispatching it... It should've been here today but now apparently the 15th-16th of July. I downloaded a copy of bittorrent earlier just because I couldn't wait anymore...

I'm glad I did, this is tight.

A friend of mine got it and said it was awesome.
Yet to check it myself.

[Sir Comradical]

Yeh, it's fucking awesome; 3rd world and Parole are awesome tracks...

[Sugar Hill Kevis]

Having listened to the album a few times... It's fucking awesome, tech had set himself a pretty high bar from Revolutionary v. II - but expectations were met.

I think my favourite tracks are probably payback and mistakes...

[Labor Shall Rule]

lol, I just posted a thread about this a few days ago.

Payback and Third World are pretty good tracks. For people aren't use to Immortal Technique, this would probably suck for them - a review I read called it "more of a mix-tape than an actual album." It is. Hopefully Revolutionary volume III is going to kick ass.

It is a mixtape isn't it?

The music/filler ratio isn't quite what I'd like it to be... But by and large, it is outstanding.

Rev. II is probably my favourite all time album, it wasn't going to beat it. But it came close.

Is tech still working on "the middle passage" and "rev. vol 3"?

I'm looking forward to having money and getting my hands on this :)

Immortal Technique, the wrong mothafucka to diss
Cause I allowed God to let you mothafuckas exist

[CanadianCommunist]

Cant wait to buy it !

[Red October]

I'm going to see him this month

[Comrade B]

Got 3rd world on my computer... need to actually buy the cd.
Open Your Eyes is great, but whenever I listen to it, the other people in my house get pissed because it is "too serious"

I think Revolutionary Volume 2 was still his best to drop, but this one was pretty koo. He kinda changed his style up on this one, but I was still feelin it.

[Led Zeppelin]

Wow this album is great, especially the song 3rd world:


I'm from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth
right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed
from where police brutality's not half as nice
and makes the hood in America look like paradise

from where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet
and spend the next 25 years tryin' to deny it

I'm from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist
and niggas throw coca cause the job market doesn't exist
except slave labor modern day company store
and peace keeper's don't ever ever come here no more

from where the bombs that they used to drop on Vietnam
Kill us children born deformed eight months before they born

I'm from where they lost the true meaning of the Qur'an,
'cause heroin is not compatible with Islam.
And niggas know that, but grow that poppy seed anyway,
'cause that food drop parachute does not come everyday.

I'm from where people pray to the gods of their conquerors
and practically every president's a money launderer.
I'm from the only place democracy is acceptable,
Is if America candidate is electable.
And they might even have a black president, but he's useless,
'Cause he does not control the economy stupid!

I'm from where the catholic churches are some racist shit.
They helped Europe and America rape this *****.

I'm from where soviet weapons still decide elections.
Military is like the mafia: you pay for protection.
kinda like sex toys, is what the country sells,
And rich white businessmen make the best clientèle.
I'm from where they too pussy to come film Survivor .
And they murder Coca-Cola union organizers.

I'm from where they overthrow democratic leaders
not for the people but for the Wall Street Journal readers
from where blacks, indigenous peoples and Asians were once
slaves of the Caucasians and it's amazing how they trained them
to be racist against themselves in a place they were raised in
and you kept us caged in
destroyed our culture and said that you civilized us
raped our women and when we were born you despised us
gentrified us, agent provocateurs divide us
and crucified every revolutionary messiah
so I'ma start a global riot
that not even your fake
anti-communist dictators can keep quiet
fuck your charity medicine, try to murder me
the immunizations you gave us were full of mercury

[There is No God!]

Is tech still working on "the middle passage" and "rev. vol 3"?

Yep.

I got the CD the other day and haven't stopped listening to it since. It's fucking great.
