His father taught physics? No wonder he is a smart man himself. He's got good intellectual genes.
"A soldier is only a piece of a warrior.... and a warrior is only a piece of a man" Wisdom personified in human form.
Thanks for putting this up on the main page guys. Most people wouldn't have seen the full interview by itself. :)
I am so glad you had him on. THUMBS UP.
I cant WAIT til I see it, this guy has my full support all day every day.
You guys rock! Can't believe you brought Immortal technique!
Thanks for the suggestion, I gave it a listen. already one of my favorite rappers.
First time I've seen or heard of him and I already really like him.
Ow! man immortal techniques' view about the world is so inspiring. Respect!!
Immortal Technique is one of my favorite rappers, great to hear this interview.
Fantastic segment TYT - these kinds of messages should be heard by everyone, and not clouded by ignorance.
Whoa, was NOT expecting that from him. Great interview, very articulate.
I hope you have a longer interview somewhere with this guy....either way good shit.
That is an amazingly well-spoken man, I need to look up that documentary.
DAMN! That was so deep!!! Specially the last part!!
Awesome interview I wished it was longer
Great interview
This is why he's one of my favourite rappers. You can't get this quality interview from many rappers these days. He has the intellect to back what he preaches in his songs.
One of my favorite rappers and one of my most watched youtube channels
Love IT, great interview.
Yeesssss 2 of my fav people in the same room
Good interview, you should get Lowkey on for an interview next.
My two favorite things TYT and immortal tequnique
Wow....This will inspire me to learn more..He blew me away
Loved this!
TYT is awesome for interviewing this great and brilliant man .
Never heard of Immortal Technique until this vid. Will check out the full interview as well as Immortal Technique's film and music.
IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE on TYT!? oh my god. this is too cool for words.
Heavy. Great interview I.T and Cenk.
never heard him, but i like the message. . always strive for things to be better and make them better.
Okay Immortal Technique not only raps beautifully, but when he speaks about issues in the world its like poetry. We need more human beings like him in power.
That dude Rocks! Why can't more people be like him.It just goes to prove that your life experiences and how you perceive them make you into the person you are.His father sounds like an awesome parent.
I gotta check his music out. It inspire me when i see one of my people involve in a positive movement. You dont get to see that very often where i live.
Love him! Been a fan for years! No main stream rapper can even TOUCH this man! He's talented AND brilliant!
People can disagree with some ideas people have, but still find them intelligent.
Awesome man.
I wasn`t expecting it from his image but he`s actually quite well spoken and fascinating to listen to. I think I want to learn more about this guy now.
it was beautiful to hear him say that he wants kids to grow up with an open mind and to not glorify war. it was so empowering to see people saying that out loud in the media. *applause*
one of my favorite mc's of all time laying down some knowlegde
'War is not something to be glorified, it is something that destroys people, even the winners of war come home feeling ripped apart because of what they've had to do. You can tell them that their heros but some of them will always carry that pain of having to take another human beings life, because a real man doesn't take glory in that, he understands that that was a part of his duty in service and that a soldier is only a piece of a warrior, and a warrior is only a part of a man'. Wise Words.
i could not like this enough. i wish i could give this more thumbs up!
Great video :)
Awesome. Always been a big fan of immortal technique, Revolution!
dance with the devil still gives me goose bumps everytime the story gets to it's climax.
Never heard of this guy before this video, and I think he's awesome. Very intelligent, very articulate. Great Interview.
this is really short! is there a longer version of the interview!?
Cenk Thank you! This is great! Spread the good word!
He said "peace" and actually meant it, very deep.
Immortal is a beautiful intellectual,his music is so educating and awakening.i love tyt and immortal.perfect.go tyt!
You guys need to be on TV.
Very impressive young man. A spark of hope for the future generation.
thanks, ill be sure to look it up :D
Wow i never expected to see this, I love immortal technique.
immortal technique spits fire! been listening and learning from that dude for years. Smart guy, a lot of good things to say.
I'm so glad TYT had Tech!
awesome! good job tyt
Woah one of my favourite rappers on one of my favourite shows!
Honesty I've been a fan of immortal technique for a few years now and I got to say I saw this coming. Ive seen a rapper blend politics and music like he does true talent..
I honestly never heard of Immortal Tech but after listening to this dude's concern for others and his effort for spreading awareness makes me wanna start listening to him rather than all of trash rappers we have in mainstream today.
wow.... great words of wisdom from the greatest living rapper
this dude is what hip hop is missing man for real.i might listen to it again if he drops another album
I highly recommend watching the full interview on TYTinterviews, it just shows you how smart immortal technique is.
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 : )
Just from this brief message, I'm going to look more into this guy.
This is awesome, for those who don't know, the full interview is linked in the description.
Not a fan of rap music really but this guy seems very smart. His closing statement was just amazing
my favourite musical artist. real gentleman, smart and respectful
I completely agree! Awesome!
I heard his songs and i was like oh this guys good, his voice just changes
It's about time you brought tech onto TYT, I've been listening to this guy since i was 16 and hes one of my biggest influences that has shaped my political view of the world. In my opinion it's not about mainstream or independent underground, It's about supporting those who spread a real message. Come back and play in Belfast tech.
One f my favourite hiphop/rap artists :)
always loved him, nicely said
wise man right there....interview should have gone longer
He is an amazing artist. I dont know if you have heard his work, but you should have a listen. Its political in nature, but its just so full of feeling. Really a great artist.
Hes a legend in the making. about time tech got on with tyt. Hell ya. Haha
yes!!
It's not about TYT, its about IT, that's why its an interview and not a debate.
That was a fucking fantastic interview! I don't really like rap, but I want to hear more of this guy.
Love immortal technique, I literrally screamed like a 2year old when I saw felipe on tyt
i needs me a man like him... dripping in swag and smart as hell. dayum.
Immortal technique is the man. Hes one of the beat lyricists and his music goes so deep and speaks the truth
Awesomeness
Cenk and Immortal tech' this is great!
One of my favorite rappers of all time. Immortal Technique is the man.
What?! Dude, Cenk, I am eternally jealous. Immortal Technique is one of my favorite artists of all time.
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".
can some one tell me when and if the documentary comes out?? please reply. and if u want a good song that really shows his itellegence listen to harlem streets or the fourth branch.
Great speech man!
well I guess that highlights that there is a difference between listening and understanding
TECHNIQUE!!!!! Glad he's getting exposure right now. A ferocious artist, a true revolutionary, and a fearless warrior. For an example of how dope IT is, find his song called "Rich Man's World".
Why is there so much hate? What he said was correct and the truth. I never heard of him or what he said before this 'interview' but what he said today needs to be listen too and spoken about. I will learn more about him.
IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE on TYT hell yess!!!!!
Imortal technique is the man! his lyrics in his music contain so much allegory and his flow is great at the same time :p
My favorite artist and TYT. In the "Immortal" words of Cenk. "OWWESOMEE".
< Use to listen to Immortal Technique in Highschool,
I love it, and I encourage more of them to do the same! :]
TYT interviewed IMM TEk.. WHAT!!?!! Ok, Respect from now on!
the full interview was good
Cenk, or any TYT employee, you should invite Immortal Technique on The Point sometime. The guy seems informed and reflected. A fresh voice in all the hatred, boasting and violence of rap.
100% agree tyt need to be on tv
