“how can this be?/the land of the free, home of the brave/indigenous holocaust and the land of the slaves/corporate America dancing off beat to the rhythm/do you really think this country never sponsored terrorism?/human rights violations, we continue the saga/El Salvador and the contras in Nicaragua/and on top of that you still wanna take me to prison/just cause I won’t trade humanity for patriotism” – The 4th Branch While nothing will blow you away, the beats all range from good to dope and they are perfect in that they both compliment his style and put the focus on his rhymes. Not to mention, his beats are much better. Technique dropped his debut in 2001 (“Revolutionary Vol.1”) and showed glimpses of what he had become here on “Vol.2.” This time around his mic presence is greater, his flow is more commanding, his focus is sharper, and he is a whole lot angrier. More importantly, you will be taken back by his brutally honest words – whether it is concerning race, social ills, hip-hop, government, promoters, drugs, or your momma. I don’t use that term lightly, when you hear Immortal rhyme, you will be taken back by the sheer force of his delivery. Few emcees possess the command he does, song after song he leaves you hypnotized as he rips the mic to shreds. The list could go, but until you hear Immortal Technique you just won’t understand. Vicious, unrelenting, uncompromising, venomous, blunt, intelligent, articulate, political, revolutionary.
