But when he opens in typical Tech fashion, вЂњI want to run for President and the focal point when IвЂ™m campaigninвЂ™/is to put FEMA to work on plantation at Camp David,вЂќ it becomes clear that nothing has changed but the background, and even that difference is then altered by TechвЂ™s forceful delivery and unmistakable style. So when вЂњThe PaybackвЂќ comes on with a vintage hook that could have come out of a Kanye song and laid back horns, the initial auditory reaction is to think the lyrics are going to follow those pop sensible lines. On previous releases, while there are numerous tracks that grab musically from the first beat (вЂњCaught in the Hustle,вЂќ вЂњNo Me Importa, вЂњObnoxious,вЂќ and вЂњHarlem StreetsвЂќ to name a few), one of the staples of the style is that the beats are more of a backdrop for TechвЂ™s lyrics than anything else, and appreciation for them is derived mainly from how he sounds over them. The beats are more accessible, and even in an unmastered format, are a bit more polished than some of the more basic tracks off the two Revolutionary albums. These didnвЂ™t sound like Immortal Technique songs I had heard off the first two albums. On the first listen, I liked the songs, but was concerned. The press release was accompanied by a quote from вЂњThe Payback,вЂќ вЂњI make rap about lyrics not beats and marketing.вЂќ And after listening to this track, вЂњThe 3rd World,вЂќ and вЂњReverse Pimpology,вЂќ there is no question that regardless of the beat behind him, Immortal Technique will not change his message or the power in his lyrics. However, with the announcement that a large amount of production for the album was completed by Jay-ZвЂ™s DJ Green Lantern, it had yet to be seen if Immortal Technique could stick to his guns amid production that on previous albums had been handled by far more independent names like Southpaw and 44 Caliber. IвЂ™m talking about a rapper who sold his CDs on the street and now refuses to sign with a label that could provide more exposure as it might infringe on his message and mission. And when I say independent, IвЂ™m not talking about a rapper on an underground label.

( Follow this link to the full album review of Immortal TechniqueвЂ™s вЂњThe 3rd WorldвЂќ.)ДЇollowing the announcement of the release date of the upcoming Immortal Technique album (June 24th), us media types were treated to a few tracks to introduce us to what could be the most anticipated independent album in years. More than a few adults have admitted that they play his CDs even when the kids aren't in the car.( Follow this link to Evolving MusicвЂ™s interview with Immortal Technique.) Graham's talent lies not just in his vocal and musical skill, but in his ability to balance sincerity with silly, meeting the needs of both children and parents simultaneously. Graham's style is smart and fun and grounded in ethical teaching and important lessons for kids but avoids being saccharine sweet or condescending. ) He loved it so much, he forgot about that pesky PhD and started writing music full time. His sister-in-law, a teacher herself, suggested that Graham bring his guitar to schools to play for kids. To pass time, they went to train stations (Blake loved trains), took walks through town and Graham played guitar to help baby Blake sleep. While working his way through graduate school and newly married, he took care of his one year old nephew. From there he taught English Literature at a Bronx high school and went on to earn a Master's in Philosophy from Fordham University. Graham graduated from the Honor's Program at Boston College where he earned a Bachelors Degree in both English and Philosophy. He currently lives in a big, old house in Somers, NY, with his wife, Peggy, and his toy Poodles Athena and Pandora (who has earned the right to her name). He has been performing for children professionally since September 1995. Graham Clarke grew up in Oradell, New Jersey (but don't hold it against him). If Only people listen to what he says they will be amazed A must have to those that wish to contribute to the cause-the money from this CD will go the OMEID foundation which helps shelter homeless children in Afghanistan. Immortal Techniques 'The 3RD World: is a great continuation to the Revolutionary Muzik made my him and several others in his Rebel Arms group. The CD arrived in perfect condition, brand new, wrapped up, no fingerprints. Lyrically this man is a beast and he truly shows the real hip hop is still alive.ДЄ great continuation of the Revolutionary Genre In a industry where the style riegns over substance out comes hope by the name of immortal technique. I remember listening to revolutionary 1 and 2 and learning so much more about the world we live in. Immortal Technique and DJ Green Lantern have not held a singl thing back.
