Just been getting into Immortal Technique for the first time, what are your guys thoughts on his music? Been loving it so far (listening to Revolutionary Vol. 1)

You may not like his music, but after watching this you can definitely tell he's a wise guy, real mature and smart guy.

Missy is one of my favorite female MC's ever, i couldn't even get mad when she just cashed out & stopped during her crazy stuff for clubby songs. i hope she comes back now that her health is in check

From what I read, it was Del that didn't want to perform because it wasn't enough money which is a damn shame. He was much could a guy want to perform two fucking songs? It would have been the icing on the cake if Del toured with Gorillaz. Clint Eastwood has never been performed live so more people might have been willing to go. Actually, I'm pretty sure Del hasn't met with Damon Albarn at all.
Del on his own didn't blow up outside of the underground scene at all, right? Hard to believe that Delton (Del with Kid Koala and Dan the Automator) isn't huge in Europe.
I don't like plain chocolate ice cream. If it was just chips or something relatively small in proportion to everything else, like cookie dough, then that's okay.
Never was a fan. Had to stand through his performance for Black Star and was not impressed.

What's the general opinion of Missy Elliot in here? She just came up over in the POP-GAF OT, and I'm thinkin she's one of the GOAT. There's just no denying her catalog of Bops.
I hated her even back then. Shit, just as bad as a lot of these motherfuckers today. Made a bunch of singles with non-nonsensical lyrics. She should've strictly stuck to being a producer; her, Jermaine Dupri, and Puffy.

Damn Esch, you've truly overcome the odds to become such a success.

Listening to him is fucking exhausting. It's like being yelled at by that dude in a hoodie on acid who just wants to rant the whole night about the government.
Also coffee ice cream with cookie dough and brownie chunks. Gotta go to cold stone for that. I don't eat much ice cream anymore though, its one of the foods I gave up when I started eating better. That and all fast food.

Immortal technique is dope. He doesn't have the best style delivering lyrics and Vol.2 is his best work IMO but the fact that he reached his apex making Vol.2 shouldn't mean he should be slept on.
I will never forget how i heard about Technique and vol.2 the first time. I was like 19 and an upper classman I knew on campus who I would smoke with occasionally, had it. He told me and a few of my other buddies that he wanted us to come to his crib to blaze and listen to this record from this dope new rapper that he had just got a burned copy of. It was vol.2 from technique and for some underclassmen that shits conspiracy theories was like wtf to us.
Keep in mind at 19 I didn't have a real rap palette and none of my friends did either. We only listened to what was dope at the time and a few fave artist from the 90's like Nas, Jay, Big, etc...
Anyhow afterward he lent me a copy to burn. I did the same for another buddy and in time that record was passed around and treated like the anarchist handbook on my campus. This is before torrents and stuff but the ideas he was spitting was something I remember thinking wasn't something you should be bumping on car stereos and shit.
It was maybe the only album that I was old enough to understand why it would be considered controversial that came out when I was really getting into Hip Hop (the early 2000's was a lot of trash IMO). Like most albums people said were controversial was just people being prudes about sex or the realities of crime. Vol.2 was that Mental Piff though. At the time it needed to be processed and researched and argued for or against, critiqued or disavowed. It wasn't just dope music... It was dope ideas....and no I am not a conspiracy fanatic, but some of the stuff he said was like wow to me then and held up later after being scrutinized.

Here's a review with some excerpts, it looks like it could be funny, I always enjoyed reading his blog (before he turned it into a soft porn site that is).
I think GAF-Hop might enjoy some of the stuff he has to say lol:

So much fuckery on this page.
First I freaking love this gif
I was in highschool when I went through my real rap stage. You just gotta realize nobody wants to hear shit like this on the radio . Every rapper plays their role, some better than others and some don't even know what role they're trying to partake in.
I think she's probably my favorite female rapper. Lot's of hits than I remember jamming to when I was a lot younger lol.
4.0 GPA in university can do that.
Whyyyy
I'm just gonna leave some wavvy shit right hur
Also how many of you guys liked The Massacre by 50? Looking back at it, it was a great follow-up to GRODT.
Lot's of songs I like on it:
Supposed To Die Tonight
Position Of Power
Gunz Come Out
God Gave My Style
This is 50
Ski Mask Way
Gatman & Robbin
Piggy Bank
Get in my Car
Some filler on it, but still liked it as much as Get Rich.

Album had some great production on it and 50 was at his prime I always felt it was a worthy follow up to Get Rich.
Leopard Print Gold bricks is the style toasting, genre bending debut EP from Toronto artist Nolely Nole. Produced entirely by M Mac, (producer of Lil B - "I Tot Iann", member of The Antiheroes) this EP finds Nolely walking his leopards through some of the most trappenin sounds you've ever heard.
Also reposting this: trap perfection
Yo this goes so fucking hard, can't believe I've been sleeping so sorry:
Easily a top ten EP.

Evian Christ on Producing for Kanye, Twitter Girlfriends, & Dissing Paul McCartney
Evian Christ, like myself, has been cursed with a baby face that makes him look younger than he really is. But theres worse fates than being thought of as the obscenely young British producer who hopped aboard Kanye Wests Yeezus to contribute music, and hes parlayed the attention from both that and his own music into a pretty choice evening slot at Pitchfork Festival. (Though Im told his crowd is somewhat depleted, with most of the tweens split between Toro Y Moi and M.I.A. at the same time.) Still, it only goes up from here.
I should preface this by saying that I went pretty deep on your Twitter account to find everything youve said over the last twelve months.
Wow, okay, it hasnt been that much, right?
Not a ton, but enough to get anything, something. And the first thing Id ask is did you really play Gucci Mane remixes in a church?
Yeah. I mean, that was the most blasphemous experience of my life for sure. That was when Purity Ring came to the UK and they did one show in Saint Johns church in London. I mean, I guess the blasphemy is even more kind of visceral when youre with Purity Ring and Evian Christ is your name, but yeah. It was kind of wild playing in a church. I wasnt entirely comfortable about it.
Were you raised religiously?
Kind of semi-religiously, like my parents generation family-wise are not like super religious but kind of above that, yeah.
When you were working on Kanyes album, were you here in France?
Yeah, I flew out to Paris for a bit.
Were you hanging out with like Bon Iver in the studio and all that?
No, he wasnt there at the time, when I was there. I think he spent a lot of time in Paris a couple of months afterwards, when a lot of the tracks were more formed and I guess Kanye had a better idea of what he wanted from Justin at that point.
Damn, I was really looking to confirm some stories that Ive heard about his ability to rage.
No, me too. Id love to meet that dude, but yeah, I dont know.
There are a couple of really bold sonic parts in Im In It, and I was wondering how it all comes together when youre producing but Kanye is also there overseeing everything.
I mean, Kanye is very hands on with everything. Possibly more so than people would realize. I guess theres a lot of people on that level; I think a lot of people like to pretend theyre more involved than they are, but because of Kanyes background as a producer, hes very hands-on in the studio, and very clear direction-wise of where he wants tracks to go. That track that I sent to them, it went through a lot of different stages. And its just Kanye like vibing on different ideas and trying to fit it into an album as a whole. It might be like this originally, but its definitely his vision of how it ends.
You tweeted something about hip-hop collaborations, like imagine Trent Reznor with Gucci Mane. In your mind, do you have any dream collaborations that you would want to do, something that would be way out of left field?
For me, Kanye would be all out left field, so Ive already done one. Do you know what would be cool? Ive said this before but no one picked up on it. Theres this dude called Stuart Argabright and hes New York-based, did a lot of like post-industrial stuff. Yeah, hed be someone that would be awesome to work with I think. Along similar lines, more post-industrial stuff like Zoviet France, who were a band based in the Northeast of England who made super industrial music. With something like Yeezus, theres a lot of contemporary industrial influences, like super distorted kicks and Nine Inch Nails style mixed-in production. Im interested in older, more classic industrial stuff. Working with guys like that would be super interesting.
You also said something about Paul McCartney, how he should put down his ukulele. What was that?
That was a line. You know, On Sight, off the Kanye record? That was originally a line off that. When I flew out to Paris, that song was long as fuck. It was just like Kanye vibing on the beat, almost freestyling it, and that was one of the lines in it. And I remember when I heard that, I was like, man, I really hope this makes the cut for the album. I was so disappointed when I heard that line didnt make it on the song. I just wanted to leave that on there as a reminder, so I never forget that I heard Kanye talking about Paul McCartney putting down the ukulele.
I noticed a lot of girls on Twitter seem to ask you to be their boyfriend. You retweet some of them but is it a fraction of the attention, or is it so much larger beyond?
It depends, if its a particularly funny thing Ill normally retweet it. The best one was when I was touring the stage with Purity Ring. I had this thing when I was on tour with them where I was on this American food tourism mission and I stopping off at gas stations, eating different ice cream everyday. And they said something on Facebook like, bring Evian Christ ice cream to his shows. And there was this girl who was like, Oh, you like chocolate ice cream? And she brought all this chocolate ice cream to the show, and I was like, thats funny as fuck. I appreciated that. She actually brought it and security wouldnt let her bring it in, so that was devastating.
This morning Kanye tweeted that his second verse on the song New Slaves is the best verse of all time.
I saw that.
Confirm or deny?
It wouldnt be my favorite verse on the album.
What would be your favorite verse on the album?
See, I think he goes in harder on Black Skinhead. Like its up to him, he knows better than me. Its a sick verse, but I wouldnt say that its his best verse of all time. I think just as a talking point, its interesting anyway, to talk about things like that. Im sure that Kanye is well aware that theres going to be a backlash to that comment, but Im sure thats why he makes it, it sort of spurs discussion. Not enough people are willing to put themselves out there and make statements like that.
Whoa did not expect anyone to actually go out and listen. Yeah it's a nice little surprise.
