HeвЂ™s urging revolution and striking back at the system. HeвЂ™s very quotable, but you really canвЂ™t quote him without either getting arrested or funny looks. IвЂ™m not even getting into TechniqueвЂ™s in your face rhymes. Lick Shots, with Crooked I and Chino XL, is one of those tracks thatвЂ™s just three dudes going in, Reverse Pimpology is the second coming of Industry Rule 4080 (record company people are shady), and Payback features Diabolic and a much-missed Ras Kass getting back on his political grind. It was too harsh, too real, and too dark.ДЈrd World is more palatable, though he isnвЂ™t afraid to put the boot in. ItвЂ™s not as harsh as TechniqueвЂ™s Dance with the Devil (donвЂ™t click that), which I listened to once and then promised to never, ever listen to again, despite its quality. It definitely isnвЂ™t one to play when your girlfriend comes over for the weekend. It isnвЂ™t a record you put on to chill with your friends and play video games. And yes, his skill has gotten better, too. His criticisms are more focused and direct. ThereвЂ™s less misogyny and homophobia than there was seven years ago. One thing Technique has over other rebel rap-types is that you can see his growth as an artist and a thinker as you follow his career. ItвЂ™s still hipster and college student high on new philosphy-friendly, but thereвЂ™s actual meat to it, too. The 3rd World is a mix of old tracks and new, and is a delightfully coherent taste of rebel rap. Immortal Technique is probably just as extreme, if not more, but heвЂ™s actually got some smarts behind his eyes. Two, the video is one of the worst-conceived pieces of trash in years. If you actually listen to Hell Yeah and watch its terrible video (in concept and execution), youвЂ™re going to realize a couple things. The problem with dead prez is that theyвЂ™re kind of stupid.
