The 3rd World [Explicit Lyrics]
I like Immortal Technique, I would even go as far as saying he’s a the ethnic verision of Eminem with a hint of Mike Skinner from The Streets, he does hard rapping, freestyling and mixes in social-economic-celeberity commentary and attacks everyone. Sometimes its hard to work out who exactly he’s attacking, you may find yourself thinking ‘Yeah Immortal Technique is telling them how it is’, but 2 weeks later, it dawns on you, that he’s just kicked you in the head with Dr Martins, but it was done in such a simple yet complex way you didn’t get it first time around.
Immortal Technique – The 3rd World
Immortal Technique, the most radical revolutionary rap lyricist to hit wax, combines with Green Lantern and a gang of like-minded MCs to produce THE 3RD WORLD, a furious mixtape which is perhaps Immortal Technique’s best work to date.
The title track is a compelling summary of all the Harlem rapper has proclaimed in his past verses, as he reworks Jay-Z’s “Where I’m From” into a scathing diagnosis of the state of the world in the 21st century. Tech also breaks down the power structures behind NYC gentrification on “Harlem Renaissance”, deconstructs accepted understandings of “pimp” on “ReversePimpology”, and examines corporate privatization on “Open Your Eyes”. Violent, angry, and unabashedly challenging, THE 3RD WORLD is everything hardcore hip-hop should be. (read more here…)
