Immortal Technique, Hiphop slaps. Options

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Has anyone heard of Immortal Technique ? My brother introduced me to The Poverty of Philosophy a few months ago, but I never really listened to the lyrics until a couple weeks ago. Ive been stuck on their songs for a while now. Some of them are really violent, but still have a really deep meaning to it. So, dont knock it if you hear talk of murder and rape. It was their lifestyle, and they speak about it through the music, and teach a lesson through the words. Some real good hiphop, I havent heard lyrics so deep and good in a long time.

Here are some lyrics to get you interested.


Internally Bleeding

Death is a another part of life..
These are my last words, I'm having difficultly breathing
Dying on the inside, internally bleeding
Angel of death dragging me away while I'm sleeping
Watching my world crumble in front of me, searching for meaning
These are my last words, I'm having difficultly breathing
Dying on the inside, internally bleeding
Angel of death dragging me away while I'm sleeping
Watching my world crumble in front of me, searching for meaning

Thats the hook for that song.

No Mercy

I manufacture rhymes like textiles of x-files
And lighten juveniles
Living life with no purpose
Organize a army that will make the devil's nervous
Competition is worthless

Part of the first Verse


Dance With the Devil

but what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter
cause he was staring into the eyes of his own mother
she looked back at him and cried, cause he had forsaken her
she cried more painfully than when they were raping her
his whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate
his corruption had succesfully changed his fate
and he remembered how his mom used to come home late
working hard for nothing, cause now what was he worth
he turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
and crying out to the sky cause he was lonely and scared
but only the devil responded, cause god wasn't there
and right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
and so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
they say death takes you to a better place, but I doubt it
after that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
and listen cause the story that I'm telling is true
cause I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom too
and now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
in fact, I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows

Part of the Last verse or so.

So when the devil wants to dance with you
You better say Never
Cos the dance with the devil might last you forever.

Last verse.

Check em` out.

Immortal technique is just one guy. I saw you were referring to him as if he was a group. I thought that for some time, also.

Yeah Technique has some really good lyrics. I like Dance with the Devil and You Never Know, because he tells a really good story in em both.

He's one of my favorites. :]
