i don't know if there's any immortal technique fans on here?, but i'm pretty jazzed about his new mixtape, out in a couple of weeks. youtube for some songs with primitive computo-visual accompaniament. does anyone like his records?

That's pretty damn good.
I want to hear him collaborate with MIA.

Oh yea and some of his Revolutionary shit is pretty great, particularly Harlem Streets, Peruvian Cocaine, Leaving the Past, and You Never Know.
I've not heard anything since then, must investigate.

yeh; i kind of only know the revolutionary records. peruvian cocaine's brilliant, as much for sounding kind of cheap and underground with its keyboard panwhistle stylings. otherwise, a lot of the stuff with less conventional production is really affecting - dance with the devil, you never know, leaving the past and stuff. green lantern?, who produced his new mixtape?, i think is kind of a step up from whoever he worked with before, so it'll be nice to hear how it sounds.

I can't believe this is the only Immortal Technique thread.

everyone was probably just waiting for the middle passage to drop before they started some retrospective C/Ds.

Am I allowed to say that I just heard 'Dance With The Devil' and it blew me away? 'The Cause Of Death' is pretty damn great as well, as truther-hop goes

Both volumes of Revolutionary are classics (despite his sermonizing on Beef & Broccoli). Not so sure about The 3rd World though.

if I fucking love everything I've heard of this, pinch of salt granted, what else should I listen to?

LJ...you should try to track down some old Paris stuff, he seems like the spiritual godfather to immortal tech
The Devil Made Me Do It was crewsh back in the day

My brother's just given me about 30 hip-hop albums, including some Blackalicious, and I'll listen to that Paris song in a bit
IT is hitting me hard again - again, take it with a pinch of salt and it's rousing, entertaining stuff
