yeah, we all fit that demo, and very few of us pay for music or listen to the radio so music aimed at us never really makes money.
Immortal technique is right a lot and addresses important issues. I dont know if that is really worth much in a musician. His flow and production are both quite dull.
sounds to me like billy the guy hes rapping about is some one he met in prison and hes just telling billy's story through a song.
"I dont know if that is really worth much in a musician."
i think its worth alot because it helps speard the word about these issue in a very creative way. the more info people get about problems in society the less they can continue to just ignore them.
thats my take on it.
a few songs of his i enojoy are
toast to the dead, freedom of speech, leaving the past, civil war, black vikings,
and ultimas palabras but this one is almost more of a speech then a song
i cant accept its not true, however i can see why you believe it with the state of the world. its pretty hard to get these messages to 7billion ppl let alone get them to actually read, listen, or partisipate in getting something that will work whether its for better or worse. atleast give something new a chance to work. something like the venus project might be the place to start, but what do i know im just someone whose unhappy with the current affairs.
What message is it that you want to shared with 7 billion people? IT mostly just points out all the bad things that happen or have happened recently. The CIA are evil? Sure, but does it help for the average chinese girl to know that?
The things that make peoples lives better are technological advances mostly, not the social changes that IT wants.
In your original post you listed "man, message, music" in that order, the order of their importance to you. For you he represents a social movement, and a brand. "I am a person that listens to IT and believes in his philosophy" is part of your identity so you post about him on WL forums, and you like him for more than just his music. To me he's just a musician and his music isnt that good.
honestly i dont know what u mean by that or whom that is. ill check later or pop a link in ur next post for what u want me to see about him.
"What message is it that you want to shared with 7 billion people?"
that statement was just about how hard it is to spread a message like his to so many people
"The CIA are evil? Sure, but does it help for the average chinese girl to know that?"
the cia is too secretive to actually know if they are evil. as for how it would help a girl in china i dont know if it would at all id have to talk to some of them to find out.

as for the order that i typed them in had nothing to do with the importance for how i feel about him. his message would be the most important if i had to chose.he represents a movement that i feel should exist alot more around the world for sure.
