His father taught physics? No wonder he is a smart man himself. He's got good intellectual genes.

Immortal Technique is legit in both music and his general understanding of politics.

[TheYoungTurks]

No, that's just good CGI.

This man is really amazing, he inspired me to make rap song back in the day. I'm now a trance music producer, so that's all i listen to but Immortal Technique is the real face of hip hop and everything it stands for. Not this fake mainstream hip hop bullshit that we hear today, where these ass holes talk about "money", "bitches" and "fancy cars".

GTFO! I love that Technique was on the show! Like, I'm loving that Cenk got down with the Tech. He has some of the most moving and influential music of this past decade. His tracks speak all about everything he talks about on this interview. Kudos to TYT for putting him on

Seeing as you don't understand the concept of the T-shirt, let me explain. There's an image of natives, with guns in their hands, with the caption "HOMELAND SECURITY - FIGHTING TERRORISM SINCE 1492". That is the year Christopher Columbus discovered the America's. The T-Shirt of Immortal, if you look carefully says "Immortal Technique - Since 1492". He says, and I quote "since the first illegal immigration crime wave of 1492 began" referencing, yet again, to Columbus "taking over" the Americas.

Ow! man immortal techniques' view about the world is so inspiring. Respect!!

America doesnt needed resources like farms. They need oil and uranium etc. No one NEEDS these resources to live, but it sure would make things easier. America does take these resources from countries all the time. Iraq, Afghanistan near cuba in the 1970's (the gulf of tonkens i believe);

so they've been doing these kinds of things for years while the citizens remain unaware.

I totally agree with you bro. Trance is def by far the most emotional genre of music ever made. My fav is uplifting trance, with a mixture of classical orchestra, film music or chill out. Yes Ali&Fila are probably one of the best trance producers : )

[Theboxer]

"If Mozart existed today, he'd use Trance to express his soul." LOL probably : )

I listened to DJ Phalanx...never heard of him before, he's amazing though. Plays the best uplifting trance, so beautiful : )
