Immortal Technique anyone

This is his most classic album, and my favorite as it as some of the most intense lyrical content. He has some great songs on all of his albums though.
I am not the biggest fan of rap but some like 'Tech do a good job pushing alternative messages to people who might otherwise not hear or get into it.
Also I have watched many videos of him discussing politics and many other topics and he is a really knowledgeable person.
Plus he is very active in communities and does charitable work on top of his activism.
He played here a couple years back when I was more into rap and I went and saw him it was a pretty good show.
At one point he said something about how my town smells better/danker every time he comes here. Than he nicknamed our town Eugreen (Eugene)

I'm pretty sure I saw Immortal Techniue once and it was one of the most boring concerts I've ever been to.
I'm not saying his studio stuff isn't decent or w/e, but there was literally zero rhythm at all when I saw - who I think might have been him - live. It was a ton of really well-known hip hop artists that I saw, and they were all trash.
Basically just talking into a mic in a way that suggests they're gangster. That was the entire show.

Yeah I love peruvian cocaine, probably one of my favorite songs off that album.
How pretty sure are you sheekle? Because he definitely is pretty "gangster" rap but he also has a lot of creative/ powerful lyrics about a lot of world issues.
One, leaving the past, and the 4th branch are all great examples of his more powerful lyricism.

It was some hip-hop convention thing where a lot of really well-known and big named hip hop artists played, and i'm pretty sure he was one of them. it was like 3 years ago tho, so idk.
all i know is the whole thing fucking sucked horribly

He has been pretty underground most of his career, he definitely got pretty big becouse he is skilled but for the most part he is not really "popular"
Partly becouse he won't sell out and he talks about how corporations suck and other things big record labels don't want.
I still am pretty unconvinced, you are not making a good case for it being him.

idk man hes pretty sick....i find it hard to believe that one of the best, most famous rap battlers in history put on a bad show (who knows tho maybe he was having an off day) but he won enough money rap battling he released his first 2 records 100% on his own and promoted them on his own.
his lyrics though man, he is a fucking poet
i love his collabs too
dead prez and immortal technique plus jus blaze and green lantern as producers.....so dope
he also honed his rapping skills in prison no joke

I still am pretty unconvinced, you are not making a good case for it being him.
He plays at a local music festival pretty regularly, I wouldn't say he's always underground really.
This was inside of a college though, this hip-hop convention.

Like I said he has gotten pretty big due to his skills but "popular" makes me think of all these shitty rappers that get hyped up a ton everywhere now a days.
Trippin said it, he is a poet who got popular partly rap battling and partly through his dope home brewed albums.

It was all "hip-hop", not that it's really all too far from rap.
That stupid faggot who sings "DMT with Joe Rogan" was there, he sucked too.
