Synopsis

Amazon.com
Despite the popular perception that the death knell has already rung for political hip-hop, Immortal Technique jams a shot of adrenaline through the chest plate into hip-hop's conscious heart. Tackling topics from America's complicity in the drug trade ("Peruvian Cocaine") to the cycles of inner-city poverty ("Harlem Streets") to the global military complex ("The 4th Branch"), Immortal Technique unabashedly radiates his radicalism in a time of apathy. There's a thin line between passion and didacticism, and, at times, he forces rhymes that sacrifice style in service of content, but most of the time his delivery is as razor sharp as his politics. The beats are mostly understated and minimalist, armed with just enough punch to accent the rhymes. "You Never Know" drifts sweetly on jazz-guitar strums while "Crossing the Boundary" snaps with a hard, funk edge. Clearly though, Immortal Technique is the strongest sonic force on the album, a claxon alarm that shatters the complacent silence. --Oliver Wang

Review from LA
westside killa | Los Angelos | 05/31/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"If I were rating this Cd on beats and flow on the mic, I would give it 5 stars easy. This dude can flow with some of the best and the beats are dope as f&^k. I had to take away two stars though for spittin' poison to the minds of our youth. Keep off the preachin' political B.S. This guys thinks Bin Laden and Bush are like brothers and they blew up the twin towers together. come on bro. But I still bump this cd just to hear the talent and beats. Just a little too much hate and false information that is stated as true facts and a lot of the conspiracies he talks about were already proven untrue long after this cd came out. I love this dude non the less but keepin it real is keepin it real not false. Anyway: music 5 stars, delivery 6 stars, content 3 starts."
