Immortal Technique talks Police, Obama, Monsanto, Hip Hop, Twitter + more
Ойын-сауық
www.hardknock.tv Backstage at Paid Dues we caught up with Immortal Technique. In this interview Immortal talks to Nick Huff Barili about early Hip Hop memories, being locked up in prison, Monsanto lobbying Obama, interactions with fans on twitter and the work he is doing with The Green Light Project. Oh yeah and his new album Middle Passage is coming!
"That's a disgrace. It should be a human rights abuse," said Technique when asked about the Act. "It should be banned. They really want to control the food industry in general. And I think what's disgusting about them is that -- Listen, we know Monsanto and their parent companies have given the Obama administration money." Immortal Tech on the Monsanto Protection Act.
Immortal Technique further spoke on the Obama administration and revealed that the people should not be so easily swayed due to what President Obama symbolizes.
"I understand and I know the type of commitment that certain individuals have to the Obama administration. They think that under a Republican administration they would have never gotten any acknowledgement on gay rights," Technique explained. "I know that there are people that are 40, 50, 60, and they black and they grew up in a completely different America. They couldn't even picture a black president... We live in a slightly different America in a lot of places, but I know that people support him because he symbolizes that for them. But I remind people that the only reason he signed that Monsanto shit is not out of the kindness of his heart, but because they lobbied him and gave him money...And that takes away from the credibility of this country and that's damaging to America."

What's funny about Tech is that he spits with such anger but listening to him talk, he seems like such a chill and nice guy.

Real shit! Watching this video 7years later it just hits harder
This man thinks very deep while writing lyrics . I can feel his songs
I think Immortal Technique is very revolutionary, dig deeper and keep up the good work.
this guy has to be the most intelligent guy in hip hop. I love the way this guy keeps his attitude and his realness while also sounding like a frickin professor at the same time.
i wish this man was a professor at my college.
A wild Tech N9ne appears!
If technique and tech n9ne made a song it would def still sound good just cuz immortal has the ability to rap fast and be lyrical like the Nina! 💯 they are different but can still make it happen
Immortal Technique is the man, thanks for the video HARDKNOCKTV!!
I love this guy's interviews and the ones on this channel too.
"Working on his new album The Middle Passage" That was 7 years ago.
Hard knock tv still got the best interviews after all these years
Technique, Tech N9ne. Thats what we need
He always speaks the truth #MuchLove and #Respect
i can listen to him talk all day
for real man, to many out here ! peace fam
Man, Teq here goes to show that having a street education is no insurmountable barrier to intelligence, compassion and maturity. He is a huge credit to humanity. Thanks for the upload.
It's more than amazing it's Beautiful, Unique. and Just Raw!
I've been waiting for The Middle Passage since middle school. I am going to college in the Fall.......too much on his plate, revolution doesn't take breaks!
watching this in 2021 and hearing Tech say the Middle Passage is coming...😂
I'd love to see both tech's collaborate. that would be a dream
The realest rapper ever,period.all his lyrics,repeat,all his lyrics are AMAZING !!!! He should platinum....and why people talk about drake by the way ???? Damn seems like some people cant stop thinking in something that they hate when they actually should start thinking in something that they like
we need more people like tech
His flow is amazing
Know what would be a tight ass concert? Immortal Technique and Tech 9 doing a tour together. Shit would be crazy.
I feel like Technique and Vinnie Paz would go together like Gasoline and Fire

Immortal technique is so far past Tech n9nes level. Tech is pretty good but raps about bullshit nowadays, in it for the money. Immortal doesn't stand for that shit, he spreads a message in his music.
What is the intro song?
5:20 what remix is that???
The realest.
Realest dudes out there fuck yeah
Real shit.
On some real ass shit, i love immortal technique for that reason he always talks real shit
I need both techs to do a collaboration
Realist in the game
Was this in Utah?
10:18 he makes a good point about haters listening to his track, lol
an ad in the middle of the video wtf!! t._.t
Drake aint hip hop, swag aint hip hop. This is the real shit right here! You dont know hip hop if it bit u in the ass homie.
Whats the song at 5:01
I wonder what Technique would think if he found out that GMOs are likely in a variety of USDA Certified Organic produce? There's a KZread video for this, titled "GMOs in USDA Organic Food," and it cites web pages for the documentation behind it, the facebook community that's growing, and, from that facebook page, the petition that's going straight to the head of the USDA National Organic Program.
"it wasnt like, we wouldnt rob u if we were playin tribe called quest..." CLASSIC
7:07 lol
07:04 The guy flipped off to the camera and Tech laughed. :DD

Tec, is the man.
Lol Tech N9ne in the background!
I think dude has an answer for everything because tha homie is well informed and he is right.

the guy in the jacket and hat was throwing the middle finger?
true, but what i was getting at was politics always played a roll of course. If you look back politics in music goes even back to the Marvin Gaye days and further back.
7:01 is that Black Thought on quack!? lmfao
i laugh when people think this guy is 'super intelligent' & what not, he just bears knowledge which isn't in the mainstream, but is still out there for everyone to access with ease, just people are to lazy to inform themselves properly anymore, instead watch youtube videos & make peoples like this guys views there own.. he is just one of few which is easy for people to find through means there more used to .. i.e hiphop and youtube.. in terms of true intellectuals out there, hes of the norm.
Did anyone else see tech n9ne's tour bus?
Soo as i scroll down i see this swaggmeout Bro" dude is gettin Hella attention....Just what he wants......Yall needa learn to ignore the haters man! He getting what he wants .....
lol. 7:08 middle finger guy.
Immortal Tech N9ne Mixtape
Realest rapper EVVA!
Damn, I'd give a leg for that shirt.
Yeah, it's also the best way to get more people to buy his shit. Like he said in the interview with Tech N9ne, they didn't have technology to promote their music. They had to go out in the streets and bump their music from a ghetto blaster or car speakers, so yeah
Tech N9ne and Technique!
he kinda looks like Tom Araya from Slayer
2024 & "The Middle Passage" has still not come out.
i doubt he would laugh. he may laugh but more so to say there is a good point. its about thinking. its not about being silly.. i think he is intelligent enough to know what i am getting at. he is a bit more cultured than most folks perceive him to be. so you dont need to speak for him. just speak for yourself and i take it from your response you dont get it.
Technique you should team up with hopsin on funk volume
