i gotta add that company flow "patriotism" offa soundbombin 2 is prolly one of my favorite tunes EVER!

yeh 8bit i got some stuff signed by immortal technique and akir when they were doin a show in oxford - they just stood out on the street signing things for everywhere when the club kicked them out.
surprised that 'you never know' featuring jean grae hasn't been mentioned - gotta love storytelling hip hop

That show was amazing. Seeing that and KRS at the Jazz Cafe restored my faith in the power of Hip Hop.
Was such a shame that it got cut short, I was dying to hear 'Cause of Death' live.
Still, seeing 'Dance with the Devil' live was one of the most memorable music experiences ever for me.

his tunes rock. a real message to them.
the reason i don't get along with some hip hop is because the mc's are just talking shit most of the time.

The Green Lantern thing hasn't really impressed me. Will give it another listen. It's gonna be very difficult to beat Revolutionary vol 2.

im lovin the 3rd World tape...
best immortal technique yet imho... serious fire..
couple iffy guest appearences, but ras kass makes up for that with perhaps the tightest verse on the whole cd...
harlem renaissance is the realest talk ive ever heard about gentrification..
open your eyes by itself shows dude should be getting paid just to lecture, well constructed ideas...
the whole thing is new york as fuck..
summer soundtrack for sure. i hope i hear this bumping everywhere.

As is often the case with political hip hop, good lyrics but weak beats.
